The Simpsons vs South Park

By contrast South Park relies on our spangledge of subjects outside the soil of elevation. South Parks humor is to a great extent dependent on the fact that its audience is consuming media and observing culture outside of traditional television shows. The Simpson family is, literally, a middle American family. The town in which they live, Springfield Is constantly shown to be In the philia of the country in any of the shows maps. The family consists of homing pigeon and Marge, hes an overweight, undereducated couch potato and shes the long suffering pleasant wife.To micturateher they have three children Bart, Lisa and Maggie. The trouble-maker, straight a student and doodler respectively, just the composition of this family shows that the creators are seeking to antic the average American family. The stupidity of Homer and the childrens antics and the ridiculous nature of the world around them are strictly for laughs. In show advertisements mock sexual urgeism and religion in American culture. Within the show, the television often reflects blame of news and popular action movies and issues of children and violence.But for all this satire, there is not much bark to the Simpson bite. The show itself moldiness depend on advertisement revenue. Its network, FOX, Is one of the Top 4 networks In the country. In the late asss, the visualise of Bart Simpson was synonymous with Butterfingers candy bars. There were two music Cads released with official music videos, that would play at the end of the episodes. Its parody too point. And Its parody that many Americans are well aware of already. Its as if the creators pulse and nudge at the audience and say Youre smart and we know it.Now please, buy our products. South Park attempts to do something beyond just simple parody of our consumption and violence. Trey Parker and Matt Stone attempt to pee new meaning out what we have already viewed. The very meaning of the parody is derived from what you already know o f the target of ridicule. This is what Jerkiest and Fiske refer to as intellectuality. They attempt to relate the Simpson to this dynamic but I believe this realm is where South Park is actually operating.The Simpson may use this intellectuality when playing with genre, but South Park uses it when conveyancing the very meaning of the parody. Even this season alone, South Park had covered the topics of social media sites Like Faceable, celebrates and sex scandals and the hypocrisies of the media concerning such events, and marijuana legalization debate. All of these topics are lampooned by critiquing the medias covered and both sides of the social and semipolitical debate on TV.You have to be critically aware to understand the finer points of South position humor that lies beneath the crude language and crass Jokes. The irony is that those that think Homer Simpson is a mooring edge satire of American life, are most likely a carbon copy of Homer himself. Its easy to criticize Sout h Park on the surface, but those that are media literate will get the Joke more than its critics. The Simpson are entertaining but ultimately, too safe.
