South Park has been one of the most popular animated shows for adults for generations because it is constantly able to poke fun at emerging trends in popular culture. While the series is often quite unsparing in its ruthless takedown of celebrity culture, South Park has also been highly satirical of the video game industry and its occasionally toxic fanbase.
9 “Sexual Healing” Season 14, Episode 1 One of South Park’s most frequent victims was the former golf star Tiger Woods, whose very public scandals became the subject of a very funny parody in the episode “Sexual Healing.” The episode centers around Cartman, Kenny, Stan, and Kyle trying out a new PGA World Tour game that is based on Woods’ life; to their surprise, the game is much more scandalous and action-packed than it is focused on sports.
7 “Chinpokomon” Season 3, Episode 11 The South Park episode “Chinpokomon” was released at the height of the controversy surrounding the Pokémon franchise, as some of the flashing lights in the animated series resulted in children getting seizures across the world.
5 “Guitar Queer-o” Season 11, Episode 13 South Park got the opportunity to mock the obsession with the Guitar Hero franchise with the episode “Guitar Queer-o,” which centers on Stan and Kyle trying to raise their scores after performing a duet of “Carry On Wayward Son.” Although initially their dynamic is rather cordial, Kyle’s continued success and increasing scores inspires a deep sense of jealousy in Stan that threatens to destroy their friendship.
