Most people say the early seasons of Southpark aren't that good. I beg to differ. I think it's probably some of their best stuff!
Take this episode: On the one hand, we have the brilliant hypocrisy of the parents who want to cancel Terrence and Philipp for their "toilet humour" while using strange euphemisms for diarrhea (given to them by Kenny) throughout the episode, never once realising it (plus, it's of course a wink at the show itself).
Then we also have the other storyline that involves Stan and his grandpa who wishes to die. It's as tasteless as it is hilarious, especially when grandpa explains what it's like to be old (basically, it's like an Enya song^^)!
I really miss when the show had this subtle meta humour that you could enjoy while at the same time, you could simply enjoy it as a cheap toilet humour show as well. It has de-volved since then.
