South Park: The Stick Of Truth - 12 Reasons It's Awesome

11. An All-Out Insane Story

Building off the last point, Stick of Truth also boasts one of the most flat-out ludicrous and warped stories in the history of entertainment. Essentially, the game starts out relatively normal - well as relatively normal as South Park can get - as The New Kid is befriended by Butters which subsequently leads him to joining the KKK; the Kupa Keep Klan as run by Cartman under the title of Grand Wizard. Cartman then explains that his group is feuding with a tribe of elves who are feuding over the Stick of Truth, which is literally just a twig (but also in the little fantasy role-playing game the boys are playing, whoever is in possession of the stick controls the universe). That is all within the first 15 minutes of the game; it only gets more crass and strange. Without spoiling too much, there is a mysterious identity behind The New Kid and why he and his family have relocated to South Park, a government conspiracy, Nazi German zombies, and a renovation of a brand new Taco Bell upping the insanity. Gaming isn't a media necessarily known for comedy, but this is easily the most outrageous video game ever made.
