A few weeks ago @LSMark made a great video about South Park and the perception that the show is mean spirited. I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet! But while watching, it made me realize just how many of my favorite South Park moments are actually incredibly heartfelt and wholesome. So I called up Mark and said “hey! Let’s collab on this!” and he said “sounds good!” but in an Irish accent. And here we are.

Kenny is such an underrated character. In Scotland we have an old proverb. “A rich heart often lies under a poor coat.” I think that sums up Kenny perfectly.
-
"He just said... where's stan?" still makes me tear up to this day.
-
as much as I like the wholesome moments from poor kid, and despite thinks its a better episode, the ending of "city part of town" where Kenny gives Karen that doll with the little he made before going to sleep will be my favorite Kenny moment
-
In "Cartman Sucks" when Bradley is on the bridge threatening to jump and crying about never being normal just to have Butters speech about not being "confused" convince him to come back down always gets me.
-
i ALWAYS revisit the moment in Breast Cancer Show Ever where principal Victoria is telling Wendy that you can't reason with cancer or wish it away, subtly implying that Wendy NEEDS to fight Cartman, and giving her full permission to do so. it's such a raw moment, i genuinely love it.
-
Wendy crying at the end of 'the Hobbit' episode is also really heartfelt and sad, because we normally never see her giving up, but here she unfortunately caved into the trend of girls photoshopping themselves. :(
-
The saddest part of South Park is the post Covid special not because of the heartwarming ending but when you see Eric sacrifice himself at the end knowing that he'd lose his family and happiness, it shows that he has truly moved on from his selfish and evil ways and become a better person and have to throw it all away for the greater good.
-
"The Poor Kid" felt like a thank-you/love letter to everyone who wanted Kenny to be brought back to life after "Kenny Dies".
-
This might sound weird, but one of the most heartfelt moments of the series for me wasn’t even in an episode. It was just looking at Karen’s adult design. The detail of her hanging onto Mysterion’s question mark around her neck kind of as a way to keep that mindset she had as a kid really got to me.
-
Sometimes I just think how with chef dead the boys lost the only true adult they could ever look up to, and that’s pretty heartbreaking.
-
South Park is rlly good at pulling on the heartstrings when it needs to, it’s insane
-
I know how late I am, but the scene of Shelly's boyfriend singing the song for her about her, and then removing the life jacket, legitimately makes me almost cry every time
-
The breaking in Stan’s voice when he says “Chef… we love you..” ringed so genuine to me despite the absurd brutality to follow. Miss Chef / Isaac Hayes and hope he is resting in peace
-
I love The Poor Kid so much. Kenny and Karen are so sweet. I also really like that when she asks why all this happened, Kenny doesn't demonize their parents to her or make her feel like they didn't care about them, instead he just says that people make mistakes.
-
A lot of Cartman's nicest moments involve his relationship with Stan. In the veal episode he only agrees to leave the room after seeing how sick Stan became, there's an episode where they play a Tiger Woods game and genuinely have fun, and Cartman only agrees not to kill the pangolin after seeing how stressed Stan became because of the lockdown.
-
Seeing Cartman a homeless alcoholic at the end of the Post Covid special broke my heart after seeing him give up everything to save everyone. Also the scene where he says goodbye to his wife and kids makes it even more heartbreaking 💔
-
I’ve always felt like You’re Getting Old was such an accurate representation of depression. What I liked was that there was no happy ending where Stan snaps out of it and goes back to normal, he’s still depressed but he just… finds a way to get through it. Takes a shot and goes on with his life. It made that representation so much more accurate to me.
-
Butters always has the most heartfelt speeches, from his bicurious speech to his ‘beautiful sadness’, whenever he monologues it’s either hilarious or emotional
-
South park is actually genius, able to maintain extremely entertaining and funny storylines with hidden meaning and statements behind all the jokes and profanity, this show needs more credit
