South Park

South Park is a highly irreverent, bawdy, satirical, and sometimes crude animated comedy series, created by [Matt Stone]? and [Trey Parker]?, following the surreal adventures of four eight-year-old boys who live in the small town of South Park, Colorado. Deliberately crudely drawn and animated (originally paper cut-outs in the first series but now computer generated in the style of paper cut-outs), and featuring some of the most scatalogical humor ever shown on American television, it nevertheless successfully satirised many aspects of American life and culture.

The main characters are: [Eric Cartman]?, [Stan Marsh]?, [Kyle Brozlofski]? and [Kenny McCormick]?. In every episode (except one), Kenny dies in some horrible, unexpected way. After this Stan says: 'Oh my god, they killed Kenny.' and Kyle adds: 'You bastards!'

A full-length animated feature film [South Park: Bigger, Longer, And Uncut]? was also made, which managed to satirise itself and the reaction from moral conservatives it engendered. It also presented a twisted but seemingly sincere tribute to the film musical with a number of clever songs - one of which, "Blame Canada", was nominated for an Oscar (chosen from the film because it was one of the few songs that had a title without profane language).
