About
As of 2026, it's 29 years old.
South Park has been animated with what looks like construction paper since 1997 and uses that crude, simple style to deliver some of the fastest, sharpest, most fearless satire on television. Four foul-mouthed kids in a Colorado town serve as the cover for tearing into whatever happened that week — sometimes literally the same week, thanks to its famously breakneck production.
It has offended essentially everyone at some point, on purpose, and outlasted countless controversies through sheer comedic nerve and timeliness.
Crude, fearless, and impossibly quick, South Park is the show that weaponized cut-out animation into one of the most cutting satires ever made.
