South Park co-creator Trey Parker says season 21 of the Comedy Central series is getting back to stories about “ridiculous” kids and turning away from topical subjects like politics.
South Park, of course, has been a comedy staple on Comedy Central since 1997, when Parker and co-creator Matt Stone skewered every person and subject imaginable through the point-of-view of a group of misfit juveniles — including Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny — in the tiny community of South Park, Colorado.
“We fell into the same trap that “Saturday Night Live” fell into, where it was like, “Dude, we’re just becoming CNN now.
For the time being, getting back to offending people by using the same methods that the show became famous for is clearly the best way to go.
