First released in 1997, "South Park" changed the world of adult animation forever during the decades it's been on the air. Told through the perspective of pre-adolescents Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny, four friends growing up in the mountain town of South Park, Colorado, the profanity-laden series serves as a vehicle for its creators to satirically explore current events. Touching on everything from celebrity culture to politics, the creators of "South Park" freely go after ideas and behavior they deem extreme, often highlighting the absurdities in a way that others are afraid to while parodying celebrities by the droves. While a handful of good-spirited celebs – like Snooki – took the lampooning in stride, many struggled to find the humor in it.
No subject matter is safe from creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and controversy is ingrained so heavily in the series as to warrant an entire Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park_controversies) addressing the topic. Come on down to South Park, because we're ranking the top 15 most controversial episodes.
