I'd say it's the summarization of the societal devastation it wrought in it's journey to pathfinding/wrecking the way for today's consumerist media landscape.
Then again we could throw marvel in place of the show and say that's a more accurate description. But shoulders of giants and all that.
ah but that's basically "shitty politics: The TV show", and an easy win for the "name some form of media that's caused a devastating impact to society" game lmao
honestly if you really try to keep the answer apolitical (lol) it actually becomes very hard to think of something.
I'm also gonna throw "Microtransactions" into the ring as something that's caused significant societal damage.
Also "makes fun of everything" means that Mormons get made fun of for being silly and goofy and having dumb lore(Also goes for how they mock Scientology), while trans people get made fun of through
CW: Describing transphobic south park shit
Comparing them to surgically trying to be black, or a dolphin. Or the whole separate episode from that shit where trans women are mocked as literal macho men trying to brutalise cis women.
I'll give south park this: when they aren't trying to push an opinion trey and Matt can be really fucking funny. They're at their best when they're just being silly. Fun Times With Weapons and the Guinea Pigs 2 parter as well as Casa Bonita are some of the funniest things I've seen even still. They have shitty political views or when they aren't bad views they're presented really bad but when they try to be dumb as hell or kinda reach into how shitty 4th graders are an play with that it can hit really well.
"I'm socially liberal, fiscally conservative"
wait shit that's political, let me try again in a minute

I'm still holding the line at cd-keys and printed manual copy protection codes, like the Deserter in Disco Elysium.

The fact that South Park unironically peddles Eric Cartman as the good guy, multiple times.
Eric Cartman has become a role model for multiple generations of men, under the idea that evil is good and good is evil.

I used to date someone with a cousin that unironically described himself like that.
I got super pissed at him one night cause he kept insisting that "even nazis deserve free speech"
