Nearly 25 Years Later: The Patriarch of South Park
30 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I usually do not like South Park, but without this cartoon, South Park would not exist. It showed all of the qualities that made South Park so vulgar, dark, funny and snowy. It all began as a spoof of Frosty the Snowman in which, the snowman became a monster. It also showed people that the true meaning of Christmas was all about Jesus Christ's birth. It was well made when it comes to stop- motion. Never say bad words in front of Jesus. The quotes were well written, even on a pretty low budget. The satire about the holidays gave birth to all subsequent South Park media. Three years after the groundbreaking short, there was an even more controversial cartoon about Jesus vs Santa and characterized the characters even further. Two years later, South Park aired on TV. Two years later, a movie was released. Without the short, there would be no South Park whatsoever.
