South Park

Im not usually a big fan of u.s comedy but their animated stuff is great. Its like there are no barriers. They can say what they like and do what they like as its 'just a cartoon'.
 
Randy has to be the greatest cartoon character ever created

South Park gets away with it for two main reasons I think. Firstly, Trey and Matt have been at Comedy Central since it started basically, they've been there longer than any of the executives now running it, and obviously it made its name in pushing the boundaries. Secondly, the shows aren't usually completed until the morning of the day they air. If they took months like other animated shows, law suits would shelve half of them. However, because the network doesn't know the full content until the day they air it's either play it or there's no episode. This has led the network to edit two episodes themselves before airing but obviously because they don't produce it, they can only cut things, bleep things and black things out on screen. Both episodes were to do with Muhammad. In the episodes Cartoon Wars, Muhammad was blacked out, and in South Park's 200th and the follow-on 201th episode, they blacked Muhammad out again AND censored nearly a minute of a speech in the follow-on episode - Kyle's 'I learned something today' bit. The part that is bleeped over in that episode, and that me and many others took as a joke about censorship, was not a joke. It was censorship.

If you want to have a listen about them talking about the Muhammad episode, see here:

The bit in the 201th episode - it's not a joke as I thought initially.

This is the uncensored version that has been leaked onto the internet:

South Park is the best.

For example this scene from the 'Sexual Harassment Panda' (aired in 1999) still makes me laugh out loud like it did 14 years ago:

Petey the Sexual Harassment Panda

Then about 10 years later GMP come up with this:

Pippa the Policing Panda

Either someone in GMP loves South Park too or GMP are predictable.

My favourite scene with Randy is in the tmi episode. That is such a brilliant episode.

Randy at 8:25 teaching kids about penis sizes is my favourite Randy moment.

Cartman is great as always in this episode.
 
Seasons 5-11 are stellar, some of the funniest TV I've ever seen. It's still great now though, and it's LEAGUES ahead of Family Guy which hasn't had a good season in at least 7 years, or an average one in 5. That show really should just be put out of its fucking misery at this point.
