This type of shit is what ruins shows. This type of shit, along with various other flaws I found personally with the show, is why I don't watch shows like South Park too often - if you miss an episode, you don't have to bother trying to watch it, because people (at least in high school- or whenever I was watching it last, right after the ManBearPig episode) will just quote all the jokes without context, or without relevance, without anything whatsoever; it isn't even anything like I'm sensitive to spoilers or something, it's just that they say it so often, and will just quote it, and probably quote "I'm Rick James, Bitch!" right after.
People compare it to Family Guy, and I would say they are both on the same level, overall. It's just that South Park is preachy and pretentious and full of the writer's agenda now, and the jokes are all extremely situational or try to hard or are just "Hey look here's x event that happened recently/ x celebrity that is in recent news, aren't we edgy and cool?"
