Since 2000, each episode has typically been written and produced in the week preceding its broadcast, with Parker serving as the primary writer and director. Parker and Stone perform most of the voice acting for the show's male characters. The pilot episode was produced using cutout animation, leading to all subsequent episodes being produced with computer animation that emulated the cutout technique. Much like The Simpsons, South Park uses a very large ensemble cast of recurring characters and became infamous for its profanity and dark, surreal humor that satirizes a wide range of topics towards a mature audience. The show revolves around four boys- Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick-and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town. South Park is an American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone and developed by Brian Graden for the Comedy Central television network.

They have been so kind of wantonly insensitive for so long and it's also such an obvious parody that there's just no point in getting annoyed.
"You just can't get annoyed with South Park. "One would hope that they have enough perspective to also see the funny side and just kind of take it in the spirit it was intended, in fact I think it's really important that they do try as hard they possibly can to see the funny side and to not get upset about it," he said.

Meghan's Archetypes podcast launched in August 2022 and the royal stated that her aim through the series was to "dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back." "One is that they describe Meghan as 'B-word wife.' Now, Meghan did a whole episode on the b-word in which she refused to say the b-word But essentially she said it was a sexist trope used to hold women back, and the fact that they've kind of just straightforwardly referred to her using this word is probably not going to go down all that well."
