South Park

An equal opportunity offender, the show depicts -- and skewers -- characters of every possible race, cultural background, and sexual orientation, as well as characters with disabilities. Characters are frequently stereotyped, but sometimes in subversive and pointed ways: a Black character is named "Token." A disabled character named Timmy is a minor character and part of the accepted member of a group of young friends in later seasons (instead of being a one-joke character in earlier seasons), but he also says things like "tard."

Over-the-top animated violence is gross for comedy's sake rather than scary or gory. Characters die from gunshots and torture, cartoon blood is shown. The same character dies in almost every one of the early episodes, often brutally. Later episodes drop that joke but still mock death and violence in absurd ways. References to pedophilia.

Frequent sexual innuendo/references; endless jokes about "hermaphrodites," homosexuality, and promiscuity. Lots of bare butts. Breasts are shown occasionally.

Every possible curse word is used, often by young characters: "hell," "damn," "crap," "s--t," and "f--k," as well as "c--t." Frequent use of racist, homophobic, and religion-based slurs. Curse words are bleeped when the show airs in syndication.

Drug and alcohol use are sometimes portrayed in a negative light. Characters often reference marijuana.
