Cartoons are for kids.

no. my parents did not allow it or the video games. I always said i would get my own place and my own tv and watch whatever i want when i grow up. now i'm 30 and i go back to those episodes that aired in my younger days.

My parents had no idea what SP was and didn't give a fuck. I remember when the show first aired in my country, there was a huge hype surrounding it. When the movie came out, I even convinced my mother to go watch it with me, but then it didn't play in our local theater.

I played the game too.

Yes

I was 17 when I first got to watch it.
It was 1997.

No, but I'd watch it anyway when my parents thought I was asleep.

Hello, Mr. 42. How's life that old?

>Browsing Zig Forums when you are 40
Fucking pathehic, I hope to God you aren't a virgin.

Yes but nothing that had a lot of Potty/Gross out Humor. So episodes like Pee were not allowed.

Yeah.

Encouraged to, almost. I didn't really see the big deal. Incrementally pushing the boundaries of what you can say/do on TV seemed important to their generation, not mine. I didn't like South Park until it got better at saying what was trying to say and wasn't all bashing Hollywood celebrities that I didn't give a shit about..

Yes
But I wasn't allowed to watch Caillou because they thought it was teaching kids to cry and bitch to get their way. Was this good parenting?

Based wizard

How dare you speak to your elders like this

I think I was in 4th grade when the show began and, oh boy, was it the talk of town in my upper-middle class, 98% white neighborhood.

You would have thought this show personally murdered a family member and pissed on a burning American flag based on how people were discussing it.

My mom ended up finally watching an episode and it made her laugh. As I was a pretty good kid, she didn’t care if I watched. The big switch in the opinion of the show was the 9//11 episode where Cartman humiliated Bin Laden. I don’t know if it was due to everyone feeling desensitized after what happened, but I know the episode lightened everyone’s opinion of the show.

No shit, absolutely not!

South Park didn't exist when I was a kid.

It was the only show I was explicitly forbidden from watching. So of course, I went online and watched every single episode.

My dad was a big fan so its something we bonded over. He's in his 50s and still quotes south park sometimes.

hell no! My crafty ass found ways to watch it though you better believe that

Yes
And I played the game too, it was great when we wanted a change from Goldeneye.

Remember, you are here forever.

No, but my parents thought it was a children’s show and couldn’t speak English very well so my bros and I got away with it

Yes, my family watched it together the same way we watched The Simpsons until that show got shit
I remember staying up to watch Cartman gets an anal probe

My mom let me watch southpark when I was 6. The pinkeye episode is what caused me to be afraid of zombies until I was a teenager.

For years the only episode I'd seen was Mecha-Streisand so I figured it was an action show about people turning into giant monsters.

No, even then, I had to stay up until midnight to watch it on CW. I was around six years old and ever since my sleep schedule has been shit.

Who watches southpark besides children?

>South Park removed from Hulu after tomorrow
Why the fuck are there so many streaming services now, shit like this is why I stopped paying for cable

Yes because my parents weren't some crazy fundis. I also watched news and horror movies.

I could unironically write a whole essay explaining to people why Zig Forums is the only platform I communicate on and why I even prefer it over real life talks.

I bet more kids watch South Park than adults.

This is why everybody should go back to piracy.
The literal only thing that made netflix good was it being a platform to watch everything at regardless of what it was and when. People that pay for 5 streaming services are just fucking dumb.
I also never paid for Netflix either because they didn't have everything and I am a contrarian.

In my country, South Park only aired on a satellite TV channel named Locomotion. Most people were unaware it existed until MTV began airing it in 2004, then it exploded in popularity.

Yes and my parents even took me to the actual South Park town in Colorado. There was a South Park gift shop, which they bought me some goodies and I got my photo taken next to a giant wooden cutout of Mr. Hankey.

Same. It always aired around 11pm here on MTV IIRC. I was already 13 or something when it started here and wanted to make fun of it for how it looked so I watched the first episode and found it funny as fuck.
