15 Important Life Lessons We Learned From South Park

12. Moderation Is Everything

Trey Parker and Matt Stone don€™t like to lean too far to one side. If they€™re anti-anything, they€™re anti-extremism. Those are the people who seem to set the cliches of their kind. The townspeople of South Park don€™t seem to think any other way, especially demonstrated in the episode Spontaneous Combustion. The town is plagued by sudden deaths of its citizens as people randomly start bursting into flames. It€™s Randy Marsh, South Park€™s top scientist (geologist) who discovers that it€™s because people are holding in their farts. So they let loose, and cause global warming. Then Randy gets mobbed in response, before figuring that the only way out of this situation is the compromise to neither hold in or let out and just use the little common sense the town has in store.
