With a seemingly endless amount of opportunities in this day and age, South Park is as quick as ever. With 23 seasons and counting, South Park has shown its appreciation for their fans through their dedicated animation and attention to detail. These background jokes and little random details fans found while watching South Park remind us why we still love it after over two decades.
1. The Aircraft Number On The Redskins Private Jet Is Actually Accurate
From Redditor u/Bradyc32:
South Park‘s weird level of detail. In the episode “Go Fund Yourself,” they got the aircraft registration number right for the Redskins Private Jet,
2. Both Sides In The Civil War Reenactment Fly Confederate Flags
From Redditor u/freakyuseless:
In the South Park episode “The Red Badge of Gayness,” both sides in the Civil War reenactment fly Confederate flags.
3. Mackey’s Childhood Bully Became The Anti-Bullying Counselor
From Redditor u/henryrow2001:
Only just noticed that Mackey’s childhood bully potentially grew up to be the alleged anti-bullying counsellor in a later episode. Which would explain why Mackey is so affected by his insults in the episode.
4. Cartman’s Chair Cushion Versus Token’s
From Redditor u/drkn8t:
No hidden alien…but the attention to detail on Cartman’s chair cushion vs Token’s..because he is big boned of course!
5. Kenny Has Multiple Gravestones
From Redditor u/doormouse1:
In South Park S3E10, you can see two gravestones marked simply “Kenny,” a reference to the fact that Kenny is killed in every episode, and brought back to life in the next.
6. King Of The Hill Is The Only Cartoon Not Lampooned During ‘Cartoon Wars’
From Redditor u/throwawayblueline:
During the “Cartoon Wars” episode of South Park, there’s a visual gag of King of the Hill being worked on, mentioning it’s 11th season, with little to no interruption. It’s the only animated show that is referenced but isn’t lampooned.
7. Kenny’s Dad Has A Photo Of Him On His Hat
From Redditor u/Iamacringeteen:
Just realized Stuart had a picture of Kenny on his hat.
8. Kenny Orders Water While The Other Boys Drink Soda
From Redditor u/Gingersnap5322:
In South Park s13 ep10, “W.T.F,” when the boys are at Sizzler, you can see Kenny showing his poverty by ordering water while the boys order soda.
9. On The Zoom Call, Kenny’s Mom Has A Rented iPad
From Redditor u/LostAussieDog:
In the South Park pandemic special all the parents names can be seen in the zoom call except Kenny’s parent which says iPad 494732.
10. Kenny’s Computer Versus The Other Boys
From Redditor u/cgorange:
In the South Park World of Warcraft episode, Stan, Eric and Kyle are playing on LCD monitors, while Kenny is playing on a CRT.
11. The Situation Doesn’t Need To Be Cuffed Since He’s Busy Holding Up His Shirt
From Redditor u/pmfevil99:
In the South Park episode “It’s A Jersey Thing” when The Situation is being interrogated they don’t have him tied up due to the fact he’s constantly holding up his shirt. Idk how many times I’ve seen this episode and just noticed this.
12. ‘To Patronize And Annoy’ Is Written On The Squad Cars
From Redditor u/altonbrownscats:
Proof yet again that South Park was ahead of its time.
