I want to propose this
South Park Studios should basically let the fans help write the show for at least a few more seasons and then retire the show for good and have South Park end on a good note. Then South Park can live on through fanart, fanfics, and fanmade animation projects
Regardless of what happens to the show, South Park shall continue to live on through fanmade projects

I enjoy having consistant South Park threads that aren't /pol/-tards crying over the show calling Trump gay, but stop pretending we will be able to have our ideas and fanfics turned into episode by emailing Matt and Trey.

Red is my favorite character after Season 27/28. They let her be a manipulative hoe and use Butters. Then, in Sora Not Sorry, have her go nuclear on Butters in retaliation and go after Kyle for no reason. They didn't do their typical "Women Are Wiser" shit or have Red be justified somehow. They KNOW Red's an asshole and have her revel in it. Can't wait to see more of her.

As it relates to fan theories, one about the South Park girls is that they are often portrayed as a single, hive-minded collective of malicious social climbers who ruthlessly manipulate the boys because it’s a satirical defense mechanism against the boys’ rampant immaturity, with Wendy Testaburger acting as the ultimate leader and moral compass.
Anyways, who’s your favorite South Park girl?

lol, lmao even, but I think >>154023980 it's cause they're the most well-established of the main 4 and their back and forth pretty much makes up a good chunk of the show's identity. Where Cartman is Kyle is not very far away and vice-versa. I don't think Trey thinks about it that way though, Cartman and Kyle interactions are just inherently funny so that's why he leans more into it. Idk, that's just my two cents. Maybe he's secretly a hardcore kymanfag and i'm wrong

Really there's only a few things that interested me watching the past two seasons.
I liked the Turkey Trot episode and the Butters and Red episodes were interesting as well.
There were also some scenes of Butters sitting on the park bench with Cartman.
The park bench scenes in the recent seasons reminded me of those Heidi and Cartman park bench scenes we used to get. I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence or that was intended to be a reference, but I want to ask the creators about that.

Heidi. She's was a complete nobody until Season 20 where she becomes Cartman's girlfriend. After a ton of bullshit, Cartman abuses her the following season. She eventually turns fat and bitchy like him and breaks up with him at the end.

File: Butters.jpg (23.2 KB)
Hot Take: Butters Stotch is the only character in South Park who has achieved true enlightenment, and everyone else (including Stan and Kyle) are just miserable NPCs still trapped in the illusion of caring.
Think about it: Butters gets abused, grounded, exploited, and turned into Professor Chaos on a weekly basis, yet he wakes up every morning with that same dopey optimism and zero long-term trauma. Meanwhile, the “smart” kids have existential crises every episode, write angry letters to celebrities, and end up right back where they started. Butters figured out the cheat code—embrace the chaos, lower your expectations to the floor, and life becomes a non-stop adventure. The rest of the town is just speedrunning depression.

Even though a lot of people thought the middle seasons with sociopathic Cartman were funny, they'll never do episodes from that era again today especially with all the moralfags that invaded the fandom.
I think the change in how the fandom looks happened after the pandemic we had in 2020. The 2020 pandemic significantly changed cartoon and anime fanbases in general. Lockdowns caused an animation viewership boom, fundamentally shifting community demographics and behaviors.
Over the years, these spaces transformed from niche hobbyist groups into massive mainstream online communities. Cartoons like South Park historically have always been about entertainment, but a lot of people in the mainstream cartoon community want cartoons to serve as their therapy sessions.

File: Cartman.jpg (39.1 KB)
Hot take: Eric Cartman is the single greatest character in television history because he’s the only one who refuses to pretend the world is fair or that people are good. Everyone else in South Park puts on a moral costume. Then you have Kyle’s self-righteous lectures, while Cartman just says the quiet part loud, speaks his mind, and actually wins half the time (he at least used to).
He’s not a villain. He’s the id of the show (and maybe society) with zero filter, and deep down we all know that’s why he’s unstoppable. The moment South Park tries to “punish” him too hard, the show gets preachy and lame. Cartman staying fat, evil, and victorious is the only ending that feels honest.

Do not care for modern South Park much past season 20.
It insists upon itself.
Modern South Park has become preachy, safe, boring, and self-important; exactly the kind of smug entertainment its creators once mocked.
Classic South Park thrived on chaotic, equal-opportunity offense. It roasted everyone; left, right, celebrities, religions, kids, and its own audience—without pulling punches. Episodes were fast, absurd, and unpredictable, with crude humor serving sharp cultural jabs. The show didn’t care about being “on the right side of history”; it existed to deflate pomposity wherever it appeared.
Stan (often Trey Parker’s avatar) literally says in a recent episode that “South Park sucks now” because “it’s all of this political s***.” The show even acknowledges its own decline, and yet it keeps doing it.
The risks that defined the show (banning episodes, celebrity feuds, network battles) are gone. Instead of wild one-offs that could go anywhere, we get extended Trump-related storylines or cultural issue-of-the-week sermons that feel like every other late-night comedy. Cartman is tamed, the boys’ dynamic diluted, and the humor repetitive. Many viewers call recent episodes “painfully unfunny,” “dour,” or outright boring compared to the show’s prime.
The libertarian-ish edginess of old has given way to something that feels like the “South Park Republicans” era is long dead, replaced by creators who’ve aged into the establishment they once skewered.
>>
>>154040660
Matt and Trey also made a living off roasting celebrities for a long time. They built their brand off of hating Hollywood and some of the famous celebrities associated with it along with their preachiness. But here we have Nu-Matt and Nu-Trey making South Park into a safe, boring and preachy show. It’s a typical “rules for thee” move. Matt and Trey became what they mocked: the smug satirists who think their hot takes justify turning jokes into homework. The meta-admission that it “sucks now” is the ultimate tell—they know it, but can’t (or won’t) stop. In hindsight, they started slowly losing their edge after season 10 when they mocked Muslims.

He also only "cared" about Heidi because she was dating Cartman. If it was some other boy she was with, he wouldn't care. Literally in all the interactions they had, Cartman would always come up in the conversation. Kyle, being the moralist he's notorious for, wanted to find dirt on Cartman. It goes back to the morality complex Kyle has, he needs Cartman in his life so he can make an example out of him and be like "see, at least I'm not him" and also can't fathom Cartman being a better person than him. He also thought Cartman was f*cking with him in the post-covid special when Cartman was in a happy marriage. I'm sure she could tell she was being used by Kyle to get back at Cartman, which is ultimately why she went back to Cartman. She also wanted Cartman to go back to appreciating her like he did during the honeymoon phase of their relationship.

The moralists that hate Cartman say they like their relationship.
But from Kyle's POV, would you want a relationship where you're with your worst enemy's ex and she constantly brings him up in the conversations nonstop. He would also have in the back of his mind that maybe she'll try to be with him again.
She also flashed Cartman in their privacy together and would always snuggle with him. Who knows what else they did in private. I also recall one of the girls, who's Isla, mimicked Cartman's voice in the "Doubling Down" episode and said "Heidi come here, I wanna kiss you with my tongue." For all we know, Isla saw them making out and tongue kissing. I have a headcanon where I totally see that happening.
In picrel, there's a photo of them sharing a drink with two straws. It's essentially them sharing their saliva together because both straws are submerged in the same liquid with their saliva mixed in.
Would Kyle really want to be in a relationship with a girl where his own worst enemy who's overweight and eats cheesy poofs for a living touched tongues with her?
He'd rather have Nichole back. Or Rebecca (except in that one episode Rebecca became a slut and we never heard from her again).
>>
>>

>>154044002
>>154044344
He also threatened to leak Cartman's e-mails which lead to Cartman freaking out and going to SpaceX. Then Butters, going through his "all girls are bad" phase influenced Cartman's mind. The seed of doubt was then planted in Cartman's mind as it relates to his relationship with Heidi.

Why can't Trey just let Cartman and Kyle have their own girlfriends like Stan does?
It seems like he wants to appease Kyman shippers, but at the same time, he never made Kyman an official thing because he doesn't want to deal with the backlash coming from the anti-Kyman people.
>>
>>154045087
Cartman and Kyle bring out the worst in each other. So in that regard, they have to be far away from each other in order for them to have their own girlfriends.
The post-covid special showed Cartman was in a happy marriage because he was far away from Kyle and all the people in South Park that were a negative influence on him.

I want to apply the CEO Cartman anon's time travel idea. Retcon the second half of season 21 by having Cartman time travel to the day they were preparing for the pumpkin patch. He then can explain to Heidi everything that happened including how Butters influenced his mind.
They can work out communicating better and he can help her manage her time better while getting ready. In this altered timeline, they actually make it to the pumpkin patch. Heidi also gains some weight, but she looks like how 7987anomaly designed her.

There was an old Heiman fanfic called “Shame On Me” and it was published in 2009 by Tattooed in My Mind. It’s about Heidi being interested in Cartman and not caring that he’s racist and bigoted.

"A storm is gathering, and as the shadows lengthen over South Park, only one hero has the courage to stand in the trash and glare at the darkness!"
The streets of South Park are filled with mild inconveniences and slightly overpriced groceries, but in the mind of the masked vigilante known as The Coon, the town is on the brink of total collapse. Armed with nothing but sharp claws and a basement-dwelling ego, he patrolled the night to ensure that his brand of justice, and his social media following, remained supreme.

I headcanon that Kenny’s favorite songs are “The Bad Touch” by Bloodhound Gang and “Bodies” by Drowning Pool. He also likes listening to AC/DC music.
Kenny is more than just a prop. He is a wise kid in a broken world. I’d like to see more of Mysterion Matt and Trey.

My theory on why Kenny’s such a music lover
Kenny’s life is defined by extreme poverty, constant death and rebirth (with all the trauma that implies), a chaotic and neglectful family, and being the perpetual underdog who gets mocked for his muffled voice and circumstances. Music serves as his ultimate escape, emotional outlet, and way to be seen/heard in a world that literally silences him

Hot take: Stan Marsh is secretly the most nihilistic, depressed kid in South Park, and the show would be more interesting if he finally snapped and became the villain instead of Cartman.
Everyone praises him as the “voice of reason” or the relatable everyman, but he has a full existential crisis every other episode, pukes whenever a girl likes him, and his solution to literally everything is either “this is stupid” or getting black-out drunk on his dad’s cough syrup. He’s not grounded; he’s one bad day away from wearing a Chewbacca mask and burning the town down while muttering “I hate this town” on loop.
Stan suffers while the universe kicks him in the balls for trying to be normal. The kid isn’t the hero. He’s the tragic warning label that even trying to stay sane in South Park will slowly destroy you.

Stan Marsh Theory: “The Eternal Reset Anchor”
Stan Marsh isn’t just the “normal” kid in South Park — he’s the narrative anchor that literally keeps the town (and the show) from collapsing into total chaos. Here’s the theory:
Every major catastrophe, death, or reality-warping event in South Park eventually gets “reset” or swept under the rug (town blowing up, people dying en masse, timelines shifting, etc.). Stan is the only consistent emotional and moral constant who triggers or facilitates these resets through his suffering and disillusionment.
Key evidence:
• The “Oh my God, they killed Kenny!” cycle: Stan and Kyle’s reaction isn’t just a running gag. It’s a ritual. Stan’s genuine horror and depression act as the emotional “grounding wire” that allows the universe to reboot. Kenny’s immortality is tied to Stan’s empathy — when Stan stops caring (like in certain episodes where he becomes nihilistic or leaves), the resets get messier or don’t fully land.
• Stan’s breakdowns = Reality fractures: Whenever Stan hits rock bottom (his “They took our jobs!” depression spirals, the “You’re not my dad!” arcs, or the tegridy farms era), the show escalates into its most absurd or apocalyptic plots. His dad issues, hatred of the world, and brief moments of hope seem to directly influence the tone of entire seasons. It’s almost like the South Park universe is a simulation or dream that’s stabilized by Stan’s belief that things can still be “normal.”
>>
>>154062329
Meta layer: Stan is the character most aware of the absurdity (he frequently calls out celebrity worship, politics, and town hypocrisy). In episodes where he tries to escape or “grow up,” the town pulls him back violently. This suggests Stan is the viewer surrogate who is trapped in the loop with us. He ages slowly, remembers past events better than most, and is the one who usually delivers the closing moral — like the author’s (Trey & Matt’s) stand-in who can’t leave the story.
• Hidden power: Compare him to the other boys. Cartman creates chaos, Kyle fights it ideologically, Kenny survives it, Butters absorbs it. Stan processes it. His vomiting when things get too insane might literally be the universe purging inconsistencies. In “You’re Getting Old,” when Stan fully gives up on everything, the entire show threatens to end or change forever — until he comes back.

The entire thing is just shitting on Modern South Park. Have Matt and Trey depicted as publically shitting on Hollywood elites while parroting everything they say as if they're rebellious. They're huffing their own braps constantly, like the San Francisco people except WAY more smug, with little self-awareness about it.
There's a B-plot about the main 4 bullying Butters, so he gets help from someone else. Oh, and Craig's gang do things, I guess

Nah, the Clyde thing at first was just because he was the second fattest kid. Plus, he didn't believe the stuff he said about jews, women, blacks, etc.
Plus, Clyde's a crybaby. Butters can get shit done.

I stopped watching at s17. The series became too political and more america centered I did not even get some jokes as a european.
Very old episodes were just funny weird shit.
Did I miss out on much? Is it worth watching?
>>

>>154070830
Okay, thanks.
It kinda feels like the series got the simpson treatment of never ending episodes.
The old seasons were so iconic with alien butt probes, elephant/pig hybrid, pig man bear, sadam, robot barbarastraisand.
Just random weird shit.

Sure
Here’s your main four for next season.
Cartman was still continue to be pathetic and castrated, Butters will continue to be mischievous.
Randy will still have some screen time but not as much anymore as previous seasons.
Trump will hog up most of the screen time.

>Any predictions for season 29?
More Cartman humiliation rituals
More gay moments between Trump and Vance
More Pete Hegseth
They'll have scenes that have to do with the U.S. war with Iran or at least reference it in some way
Also possibly more back and forth between Butters and Red
>>
>>154073019
>More Cartman humiliation rituals
Seems likely. But they won't even give it the screentime it needs because of
>More gay moments between Trump and Vance
They had more buildup and "payoff" than almost anything in this show
>More Pete Hegseth
I can see this happening, too
>They'll have scenes that have to do with the U.S. war with Iran or at least reference it in some way
Seems likely. They'll make it a season-long arc at this point.
>Also possibly more back and forth between Butters and Red
I can see them doing this. Think about it. Most normies hated Sora Not Sorry and saw it as a regression of Butters' character. They can easily have him and Red beef more, thinking they're pissing people off. They're actually making more ship fuel

Yeah, they can do things they can't do in the show. Like bring back old characters

i hate how they made the city wok guy into a schizo white dude. such a dumb idea
it was the start of them walking back their earlier offensive jokes (later culminating in them retconning token's name to "tolkien" which is not even pronounced the same way)

>>154078489
At the same time it's odd how Trump's 2nd win was the only thing which broke them out of that, it makes me wonder if there was a period where they actually tolerated his beliefs and considered them reasonable on some level. Pivots this hard don't just come from outrage, they come from a loss of personal investment

Trump at the South Park bus stop:
Look at this, folks. Tremendous bus stop. The best bus stop. These kids are waiting here, standing around, and where’s the bus? Late. Very late. It’s a disaster.
I built the greatest economy in history, and now we’re waiting on some failing public transportation? Sad! When I’m back, we’re gonna have the fastest buses you’ve ever seen. Electric? No. Hydrogen? Maybe. But beautiful buses, shiny, American-made. None of this China crap.
Eric: Mr. President. If you don’t mind. I need some peace and quiet. I’m busy concocting my newest scheme.
Trump: HEY!! RELAX GUY!!!

>While Matt and Trey are running around shitting and farting on other celebs and bragging about it, Butters is tricked into eating a 'Baby Root' bar that's actually Cartman's own shit for viral views for the main 4's YouTube channel.
>Butters has to get assistance for his Chaos YouTube where he aims to prank others back.
>Craig's gang wind up affected by the pranks while just trying to go about their day. One is a dreaded cow manure bomb Butters made trying to follow some anarchy cookbook.

Tell you what, faggots. I'll voice act, animate, provide the music for a South Park or South Park adjancent show like Moral Orel ... but there's one condition.You have to write a detailed fanfic/script which I consider good or no deal. And it better be fucking detailed with backgrounds, sound cues and everything, not lines of dialogue. I want to work with something not do 100% of the work for you. Let's just say that I don't consider any of the written South Park fanfics good, funny, canon or barely passable. They're all bargain bin slop garbage the AI could write better.

>>154104959
Yeah
Something where the kids are the main focus and the adults like Randy are the side characters and the comic relief
Something that’s humorous like the old South Park episodes and something that’s unapologetic and doesn’t get overly preachy
Something where other kids besides Cartman are assholes too
