While the Author Tract is very evident, Matt and Trey make a point of targeting everyone. These four main boys and their friends, family, and neighbors find themselves embroiled in all sorts of weirdness, ranging from cults, aliens, and monsters to exaggerated-for-comic-effect versions of Ripped from the Headlines problems to obvious parodies of action and family movies. The central characters are Stan Marsh, the Straight Man of the group Kyle Broflovski, a morally fixated Jew (and Stan's best friend) Eric Cartman, a fat, sociopathic bully and Kenny McCormick, a young pervert who is usually rendered unintelligible by his tightly drawn orange parka (although his lines get progressively more understandable through the series) and who frequently gets killed in horrifying ways, only to return in the next episode no worse for wear. Debuting in 1997, the show follows the misadventures of a group of elementary school kids in the titular mountain town of South Park, Colorado. Les Claypool South Park is an famous long-running Animated Shock Comedy by Trey Parker and Matt Stone on Comedy Central.
