Sadly, South Park Season 27's Trailer Suggests The Show's Biggest Problem Hasn't Been Fixed

Although South Park season 27’s trailer promises a lot of laughs, the teaser also proves that at least one of the animated comedy’s biggest issues remains a major problem. South Park has changed a lot in the show’s 18 years on the air. Re-watching South Park’s pilot in 2025, it is striking to see just how goofy and random the show’s gross-out humor once was. Before season 4, South Park rarely focused on current events and timely news stories, centering on gory mayhem and foul-mouthed antics instead.
