100 meilleurs épisodes de South Park

Il y a peu d'émissions dans l'histoire de la télévision qui ont repoussé les limites de ce qui est acceptable plus que "South Park".

Créé par Trey Parker et Matt Stone, "South Park" suit les exploits de Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, Eric Cartman et Kenny McCormick alors qu'ils naviguent à l'école primaire tout en traitant de tous les problèmes de société imaginables. "South Park" s'est attaqué à tout, des fusillades dans les écoles et du droit à l'avortement aux relations raciales et à l'hypocrisie religieuse. Le spectacle a remporté d'innombrables prix et a été critiqué par tous, des acteurs et athlètes aux politiciens et universitaires. À ce jour, il continue de repousser les limites afin de mettre en lumière les injustices et de placer un miroir géant sur la société d'aujourd'hui.

Bien que "South Park" aime embrouiller les célébrités, il ne manque pas de célébrités de bonne humeur qui ont volontairement participé à l'émission. Des stars comme George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Elton John, Ozzy Osbourne et bien d'autres ont exprimé des personnages au fil des ans.

#100. Saison 19, épisode 2 - Où est passé mon pays ?

- Note des utilisateurs IMDb :8,3
- Votes :2 057
- Date de diffusion :23 septembre 2015

Visant directement la candidature politique de Donald Trump, l'immigration clandestine et le politiquement correct en général, le deuxième épisode de la 19e saison de South Park utilise l'ancien instituteur, M. Garrison, comme remplaçant de tout ce qui est xénophobe. Garrison, remarquant un afflux de Canadiens aux États-Unis, compose une chanson intitulée "Where My Country Gone" et annonce sa propre candidature à la présidence aux côtés de sa colistière Caitlyn Jenner.

L'épisode est une capsule temporelle fascinante lorsqu'on le regarde à travers l'objectif de la présidence Trump, en particulier lorsque Garrison propose de construire un mur entre les États-Unis et le Canada lorsqu'il apprend que South Park Elementary oblige les enseignants à apprendre une langue canadienne.

Pour ponctuer les règles de blasphème absurdes établies par la Federal Communications Commission (FCC), "It Hits the Fan" utilise le mot "s ** t" plus de 100 fois. Dans l'épisode proprement dit, les enfants sont ravis lorsque l'une de leurs émissions préférées "Cop Drama" annonce qu'ils prononceront le mot S à la télévision pour la première fois. Le spectacle normalise le mot et les personnages de "South Park" commencent à le dire tout le temps. Mais l'utilisation excessive entraîne le retour de la peste noire et le réveil d'un dragon tueur. Kyle tue finalement le dragon en utilisant la magie ancienne et tout redevient normal. Depuis la diffusion de cet épisode, le mot S est devenu monnaie courante dans la série.

With the global recession in full swing, “Margaritaville” was South Park’s attempt to lampoon America’s infatuation with the market while having virtually no understanding of it. Kyle tries to explain to people that the market is simply a manmade construct and that people should spend money to get out of the recession. Meanwhile, Stan tries to return Randy’s Margaritaville mixer but because it was bought on a payment plan, he can’t figure out who to return it to since the debt was collateralized (mocking the housing crisis at the time). Stan makes it all the way to the United States Treasury where he finds a group of men playing a game with a cut-off chicken’s head, deciding whether to bail an industry out or not. Kyle becomes a martyr for the entire town as he uses his American Express card to wipe out everyone’s debt, which helps bring things back to normal again…for now.

Later, the cops realize their mistake, but not before Mr. Jefferson kills Kenny and is scolded by Kyle to act like an adult since he now has kids of his own. Mr. Jefferson takes the lesson and gives his money to charity, prompting the cops to leave him alone because there are already too many poor black men in prison.
