Top 10 Most Offensive South Park Songs
#10: “I'm Not the Poorest Kid in School”
Top 10 South Park Songs (EXPLICIT)
Cartman is an awful person, and he takes great joy in tormenting students who are less fortunate than him. Cartman is taken away from his mother and placed in a new school, where he learns of a poor kid named Jacob Hallery. This joyous discovery results in him singing “I'm Not the Poorest Kid in School.” The shallowness and singing continue, but this time they’re geared towards Kenny when he returns to South Park Elementary. Cartman isn’t providing aid or sympathy to Jacob or Kenny - rather, he’s borderline mocking their destitution and showing pride in his greater economic standing.
#9: “Kyle's Mom's a [Expletive]”
First appearing in the episode “Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo,” “Kyle's Mom's a [Expletive]” pushed the boundaries of television. The song’s lyrics are incredibly inappropriate, featuring dozens of uses of the titular word. In fact, it’s estimated that the word is used just under once per second. Both the constant swearing and the derogatory term itself could be considered offensive. The boundaries were pushed even further when the song was reused for “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.” Even more offensive words were introduced, including f-bombs and some antisemitic discourse. One thing is for sure - Kyle’s mom wasn’t happy hearing these lyrics!
#8: “A Chorus of Wieners”
Top 10 Most Offensive South Park Jokes Ever
“Game of Thrones” was all the rage when South Park’s trilogy of episodes parodying the HBO hit was released in 2013. But this scene doesn’t parody specific scenes or characters - rather, it parodies the theme song. In the style of the show’s iconic intro, a well-dressed choir sings a rather inappropriate song about a rather inappropriate subject. “A Chorus of Wieners” continuously repeats the titular slang word, and the climax of the song goes to some surprisingly graphic places. George R. R. Martin even responded to the episode’s depiction of him, proclaiming that he is not in fact obsessed with…well, you know.
#7: “California Loves the Homeless”
The eleventh season episode “Night of the Living Homeless” parodies zombie movies and portrays the titular group as brain dead individuals begging for change. It’s a satire on how homeless people are negatively perceived, and this satire is on full display in “California Loves the Homeless.” In a parody of “California Love,” Cartman and the boys try to rid South Park of its homeless population by promoting the virtues of California. While it is satire, the negative depiction of homeless individuals may prove offensive to some, as could the callous way that the boys dispose of them.
#6: “Where Has My Country Gone?”
Top 20 Best South Park Songs
Garrison has never been shy to express his dislike for immigrants, and this is on full display in season nineteen’s “Where My Country Gone?” In the song of the (nearly) same name, Garrison sings about his hatred of Canadian immigrants and how they’re supposedly destroying his country. Again, like most things on “South Park,” this tune is meant as a biting piece of satire. But when taken out of context, “Where Has My Country Gone?” could prove wickedly offensive. The general theme of the song is unpleasant, and it uses scathing and racist language to make its nasty point.
#5: “Vote or Die!”
During the 2004 presidential election, P. Diddy, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, and 50 Cent started a service group called Citizen Change. This very public group encouraged the young and marginalized demographics to cast their rightful ballots. The campaign’s somewhat bizarre slogan was “Vote or Die!”, which was parodied in this song of the same name. It’s a rather violent piece of music that directly targets the listener with foul language and antagonistic statements. There is also a good amount of crassness on display, as P. Diddy uses sexist and derogatory language to address his female listeners.
#4: “Work Mexican Work”
Top 10 Things on Glee That Wouldn't Work Today
“The Last of the Meheecans” touches on some rather touchy subjects, including illegal immigration at the Mexican border. This is especially touched on in the episode’s subplot involving Cartman, which sees him as a very zealous agent of the United States Border Patrol. The episode features the song “Work Mexican Work,” which perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Mexican-American individuals and blue collar labor. The term “Mexican work” is offensive enough, but the song goes to even further depths. All in all, it’s a very disparaging song that is wildly insensitive to certain communities.
#3: “What Really Happened on 9-11?”
Top 10 Worst Things That Happened to Randy Marsh on South Park
September 11, 2001 is a day that will live in infamy, and many people take the topic very seriously. It’s a delicate subject, and the myriad conspiracy theories that surround it can cause offense. Unsurprisingly, Cartman is a non-believer and sings a song titled “What Really Happened on 9-11?” The joke is on Cartman (as it often is), portraying him as a buffoon with biased and unsound reasoning. But the subject of the song - that of a conspiracy theorist hoping to uncover the elusive truth of 9/11 - is objectionable at best, insulting at worst.
#2: “Merry [Expletive] Christmas”
Garrison strikes again with this disrespectful song in “Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics.” This episode is filled with beloved seasonal tunes, including “O Holy Night” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” And then there’s Garrison’s contribution, which offends many different cultures and ethnic groups around the world. He takes aim at various countries for not celebrating Christmas and goes to some extreme lengths in his language. Hurtful terms are thrown around, and Garrison insults many aspects of certain lifestyles. Something tells us this won’t become an annual mainstay on the radio…
#1: “Not My Waterpark”
Top 10 South Park Jokes that Crossed the Line
This song bears a few similarities to Mr. Garrison’s ““Where Has My Country Gone?”, as it also focuses on bigoted xenophobia. Only this time, it comes from Cartman. “Not My Waterpark” sees the white child lamenting the Asian, Black, Hispanic, and Native American families that are visiting a waterpark. Once again, the joke is on Cartman, and his words aren’t meant to be taken seriously. But the song itself is unbelievably offensive, with racist and discriminatory language galore. In a rare turn, the song generated mixed responses, with some finding it a little too offensive. It was also argued that the song tipped from satire into just genuine racism.
