The Fans of South Park

The show follows the exploits of four boys, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick. The boys live in the fictional small town of South Park, located within the real life South Park basin in the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado. The town is also home to an array of frequent characters such as students, families, elementary school staff, and other various residents, who tend to regard South Park as a bland and quiet place to live Which It isn't. Prominent settings on the show include the local elementary school, bus stop, various neighborhoods and the surrounding snowy landscape, actual Colorado landmarks,

Stan is portrayed as the everyman of the group, as the show's official website describes him as an average, American 4th grader. Stan later is reveled to have aspergers and requires alcohol to be around his friends

Kyle is the lone Jew among the group, and his portrayal in this role is often dealt with satirically. Stan and Kyle are best friends, and their relationship, which is intended to reflect the real life friendship between Parker and Stone, is a common topic throughout the series.

Cartman, loud, obnoxious, manipulative, racist and obese, is often portrayed as an antagonist whose anti-Semitic attitude has resulted in an ever-progressing rivalry with Kyle. None of the other three main children consider Cartman their friend and do not know why they started hanging out with him in the first place.

Kenny, who comes from a poor family, wears his orange parka hood so tight that it covers most of his face and muffles his speech. He is well known for dying and coming back the next episode from season 1-5 with no reasoning for why he comes back. It is later revealed in the Mysterion story arc that Kenny is Immortal and has to be re-born everytime he dies..

The boys and most other child characters use strong profanity, with only the most profane words being bleeped by censors during a typical broadcast. The use of such language serves as a means for Parker and Stone to display how they believe young boys really talk when they are alone.

South Park commonly makes use of numerous running gags, violence, sexual content, offhand pop-cultural references, and satirical portrayal of celebrities.

Parker and Stone insist that the show is still more about "kids being kids" and While profane there is still an "underlying sweetness" aspect to the child characters, Usually, the boys and/or other characters ponder over what has transpired during an episode and convey the important lesson taken from it with a short monologue.
