>early and mid seasons of South Park had Kenny's parents, Stuart and Carol being genuinely supportive and likable to their kids and general, with them cheering on Kenny whenever he's in a contest (Starvin' Marvin, Fat Camp, Quintuplets 2000) and wanting the best for him. >Says grace at the dinner table (Starvin Marvin', Chickenpox) and Carol in Bigger, Longer, Uncut scolded Kenny for skipping church and saying if he doesn't, his soul will be burning in Hell for eternity, which Kenny just shrugs off and goes with Stan>despite their poverty, they still managed to get Kenny a PSP (Best Friends Forever), a PC (Make Love, Not Warcraft) and an expensive Star Wars mecha Halloween costume (Korn's Groovy Pirate Mystery)>always showed grief and sadness whenever Kenny died>Only fought twice in the entirety (Chickenpox, Make Love not Warcraft as a background gag), with Kenny and Kevin laughing at it at the former example>Come the 2010s following the Coon arc and The Poor Kid, and they are now portrayed as abusive and neglectful to their children and spend all their money on alcohol and crack/meth, with them even having a meth lab. Solely done to "develop" Kenny more since he now has a little sister, Karen (who never existed in the earlier seasons) and is now a better guardian over her than the parentsAnyone else annoyed over how hard they got character assassinated? Early on, the McCormicks were some of the nicer parents on the show alongside Sharon, but after 2010, they are on the same level as terribleness as Butters' parents.
>>155088338South Park's side characters are barely characters
all these small town folks were always satiricalI simply had no idea how many idiots existed before the internet
Kenny’s family is a complete mess in general.>Parents are badly characterized>has a brother who might as well be crowned the most useless and uninteresting character in all of South Park>has a sister who only exists because they accidentally added her to a group shot in a random episode of Season 9, but at least she gets to have a purpose later on>Kenny is inexplicably the only blonde in a family of brunettes and redheads
>>155088338>Lived with a bunch of rats
>>155088338Does anyone care what this fucking bot trains and assimilates?
>>155088364Parents aren't background noise
The same thing happened with Brian on Family Guy. He went from Peter's sidekick to being with Stewie, and the writers intentionally made him stupid, horny and lying douche just to make Stewie look better and the more competent of the two.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YweciXhmEtohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LhRvMk9m40
>>155088338I would fuck Kenny’s mom up the ass
Barney is way fatter then Homer yet no one gives him shit for it
>>155088338They're never brought up because they're irrelevant and barely have screen time
>>155088364>>155091234This
>>155089780She'd let you do it. Stinky.
>>155089763Literally everyone talks about this, bro
I'm telling ya, this show lost it's identity after Chef died. He is a hole they were never able to fill.
>>155088460>Kenny is inexplicably the only blonde in a family of brunettes and redheadsBlonde hair is a recessive trait and his dad is dirty-blond.
>>155088338Love how she can kick his ass and fuck him so violently that she almost left him without one ball.Pic unrelated btw.
>>155092275The stroke and the fact that he couldnt even speak or make proper decisions thanks to scientology speaking for him soured everything.At least the games have you redeem him from the super adventure shit.
>>155089763Don't forget that Brian was originally shown to be the most religious member of the family, and there were multiple episodes where he was seen reading the Bible. He's even the one that confronted Peter about forming a cult by slapping him in the face and telling him that God was pissed.
Terrance and Phillip are more rational now than when the show started.
Kenny stoped dying at some pointKenny was my favourite was a kid because he dies and I though dying was cool
>>155088460they had the idea of kenny having a sister from the start, season 1's starvin marvin was supposed to have her show up in some scenes featuring kenny's family
>>155088338Vaguely related but I'm curious I stopped watching regularly after they dropped the regular yearly seasons (think it happened because of Covid? Or the paramount deal? can't remember). Still watched some of the recent "movies" and a bunch of episodes here and there (like the Ozempic one). I have a normie friend that's still watching and he says the reelection seemingly mindbroke the writers and the show became the "weekly shit-on-Trump cartoon". He doesn't like Trump either and told me he loved the Satan subplot but at the end of the day we're europeans so we don't really care that much, and the show relying so heavily on the USA political bullshit of the week made it very weak overall and hardly rewatchable. My question is, is my friend exaggerating things? Is it really that focused on Trump and politics? Admittedly, the only times I kept hearing about the show was because of something related to US politics drama, but that may be because nobody cares that much when they cover something else.
>>155092578pic a little related
>>155093069Supposedly she looked like a blonde Ike too, but no one can find the alleged art that appeared on CC's old site.
>>155093069The Merry Christmas Charlie Manson script has a deleted bit where Kenny waved at the skinny Cartman cousin, but she'd roll her eyes and ignore him.
>>155088338>has a little sister, KarenFunny how she just looks like a copy and pasted small Heidi.
>>155092978Terrance and Phillip are old men and probably dead now
>>155096867Probably why they gave her the pigtails later. There was also that one-shot "Triscotti" girl that was a re-use of Heidi's outfit and hair color but Sally/Powder's hair shape and hair clip.
>>155088338KENNYDO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PLAYBOY?ANSWER ME!
>>155092978I mean, they were just actors playing two retards instead of actually being retarded. When they split up Philip went to do Shakespeare.
>>155088338Pretty much every South Park character has a massive personality change depending on the plot.
>>155092578Wtf I like Crabtree now
>>155088338>>155088460My guess is Matt & Trey got old and lost interest in likeable poorer-class families. These characters aren't Randy or Cartman so they're not important
>>155097775You mean Trump, Cartman and Butters?
>>155089763The "Where's My Money" scene from season 4 cemented his change in character.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bldRDoDtg8w
>>155088338Been watching some early seasons and honestly characters felt more flanderized in the beginning. They become less so over time as they develop interesting back stories and personalities, and then end up flanderized again. Randy is a perfect example of this. Starts out in the series as the bumbling disinterested drunkass father. Gets a little something sharing a hot tub with Gerald but not much. Then becomes arguably the best character in the show with how interesting and funny he gets. Then becomes a weed farmer and it's right back to where he started as the bumbling disinterested stoner father.
>>155099969This feels more like making a character have depth only to get flanderized again
>>155094234The entire show is about Trump now
>>155088338The McCormicks had been selling drugs since at least Li’l Crime Stoppers.
>>155100973Yeah, don't know what this guy's on
Imagine the smell
>>155094234It's not an exaggeration, Saddam Trump was in literally every episode as either the A or B plot last season.
>>155102757American Dad is the only show there that actually improved with time.
>>155103132And most rational people hated it>>155103152And it deserves more praise than South Park for that
I wanna fuck Carol
>>155095910I kind of wish we saw that.
>>155097382Funny how Matt and Trey shit on Family Guy for having bad characterizations when they do it themselves.
>>155099969>Starts out in the series as the bumbling disinterested drunkass father.Not really. He started out as a normal dad with weirdly chill reactions to everything going on. He was in fact the most normal person on the show originally.
>>155104367And for Family Guy making non-sequitor jokes when they make entire plots that feel like cutaways
The worst case of reverse flanderization>Bob: Goes from being irritable and sarcastic to a lobotomized pushover>Loise: Goes from being female Cartman to being a lobotomized generic little girl>Gene: Goes from being Male Loise to genuinely autistic 11 year old CaillouWhen the series starts out everyone makes explicit sex jokes but by season 7 they don't even know what sex is and Louise even referencing extremely tame barely r-rated movies like mad max fury road is treated like a big deal
>>155105033That's just flanderization, dude
>>155104111Same
>>155088338How come none of the other parents ever helped them out making their home more presentable or give them items they don't use? In Simpsons, Homer usually helps out people who are down the tubes like Barney or Moe.
>>155106705Because most of the people of South park suck ass
>>155103152The CIA probably got mad that they were making them look bad. Same reason they ruined archer
>>155088364>PC Principal>Officer Barbrady>Gerald Brovlofski>Mr. Garrison>Satan
>>155106439We can all agree
>>155104366It'd at least give a little more to whatever she was supposed to be in that plot.
>>155107969I think she's hot, too. So that's a plus
>>155107182It's more the writers found it more fun to make Stan and the rest just an unhinged group to bounce jokes on rather than just doing hackneyed political commentary.
>>155102694Must be terrible, really.
>>155109189>unwashed cooch, sour milk and hot dog water, a touch of bodily waste and mold
>>155088338>FlanderizedNah anon, poor people really are that flat and boring.
>>155107258Didn't they replace Barbrady with the ginger haired cop?
>>155109521Cletus is funny though.
>>155109609Yates, yeah
>>155109189Not Carol
>>155109609Barbrady is better.
>>155110374Yates was funny in the Red Dragon parody episode, but Barbrady catching the Chicken Lover was even better
>>155088338s1&2>autistic, impulsive and overly emotional but also a strangely nice guy who can be down to earth and the only villain whos kind of normal and/or a secret psychopath to everyoneits makes sense why he has minions and mrs monarch loves him>s3 onwards>violent sociopathic manchild who never apologies for anything, focuses solely on venture and reputation while still being incompetent and treats minions and mrs monarch like shiti genuinely dont know why nobody talks about this, he went from the most funny character to the second or third worst behind rusty, mrs monarchs goons and hatred
>>155109827I mean, both of them would smell terrible you have to admit.
>>155111005I just wanna fuck her, dude
>>155111433Post more of her then
>>155110417Cope
>>155102757Cleveland was the most jarring out of all these since he wasn't gradually flanderized, they just spontaneously gave him the complete opposite personality of what he originally had
>>155111790
>>155111005The entire house reeks. In the Night of the Living Homeless episode, everytime they confront a homeless, Cartman keeps saying they smell like Kenny's house, which makes him mad.
>>155112397>last major appearence prior to Cleveland Show was him departing with Loretta in a somewhat serious and heartfult way>come his own spinoff and he's all jolly happy Peter Griffin clone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmsyenKWQck
>>155112805I'm assuming this guy stopped watching the show in 2009
>>155106705The other parents doesn't give shit about the McCormicks and made fun of them behind their backs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hio6pscEY2wThey also aren't usually invited in various gathering like Sharon's bookclub or the meteor shower party.Only if its school related they usually see each other.
>>155112523So Carol is a girl who stinks good?
>>155088338What about the Token/Tolkien shit, they aren't even pronounced similarly.
>>155113774Only if she bathes.
>>155115214Noice
>>155114679That's a retcon entirely
>>155099969>IMMA CONTRARIAN! I LOVE RANDY!, DONT YOU WANT MORE RANDY EPISODES GUYS!?
>>155092634>At least the games have you redeem him from the super adventure shit.No it didnt, he just came back as a zombie, have him ''bakc to normal'' with stock sound bytes and then get shot as a fuck you!
>>155116524Trey, go jerk yourself off over getting your shitty anti Christian song nominated for an Emmy for christ's sake
>>155116628Because he was a zombie, second they wanted to mock marvel.Still, chef would be cancelled hard by retards.
>>155117374They shit on him beyond the grave, dumbass
>>155116524They turned him into a Peter Griffin clone.
>>155111802Arrest..
