South Park: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best

17. Season 13 (2009)

South Park
Comedy Central

Because of Kanye West's larger-than-life personality, lampooning the rapper on South Park was inevitable. In the Fishsticks episode, West's misinterpretation of a joke convinces him he is a homosexual fish. This sounds like the dumbest possible way to ridicule the Grammy-winning singer and yet, it works perfectly.

Season 13 wasn't afraid of letting loose on touchy topics like the recession and the the incompetence of the Obama administration. This sort of hard-hitting critique has been sorely missed and it was nice to see the guys behind South Park still having some backbone.

Of course, it's not all perfect. Eat, Pray, Queef tries to highlight the double-standards that women must go through on a daily basis, but the premise is mishandled. The episode where an alien gangster causes humanity to blow up Finland is insane. As entertaining as these stories are, there is no commentary, just generic wackiness.
