Yeah but I always got the sense that was more on account of Cartman specifically being a tremendous dick / evil? In a sort of comedically absurd way that they don't usually try to frame as related to reality?

NAYRT

Comically absurd and unrealistic is South Park's modus operandi. I mean... that's how they make fun of everyone?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah but I would argue there's a difference between the way they depict - for instance - Al Gore in the manbearpig episode, and Cartman generally. It's a different mode of over the top that's less rooted in actual social things.

True, but all the views he espouses are ones held by real people. Cartman's characterization is a classic example of taking ideas and beliefs and comically exaggerating them to show how nonsensical they are.

You know, actual satire, as opposed to the mindless offensive-for-the-sake-of-being-offensive bullshit that so many "adult" cartoons try to pass off as satire. *cough*FAMILY GUY*cough*

I think there are times when Cartman is being used to satirize stuff but I don't think his character is in general satirizing anything particular.
