South Park hasn’t spared its audiences from laughter while satirizing and generally observing society for more than two decades. Popularized by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the show and its humor are replicated throughout social media in memes.
Whether you’ve been watching the show for years, or you’re simply here to see what all the meme fuss is about, here is our list of the top 17 South Park memes that have entered permanent residence in the collective consciousness.
The best South Park memes on the Internet
1) Officer Cartman / "Respect My Authoritah!"
Episode: Chickenlover (Season 2, Episode 4)
Cartman in a police uniform, shouting “Respect my authoritah!” is used any time someone feels that they deserve respect despite the fact they may not. It is quite popular with those who believe with loud voices, things will be done their way.
2) PC Principal
Episode: Stunning and Brave (Season 19, Episode 1)
The typical overly sensitive champion of political correctness, PC Principal has now funneled himself into a modern discourse on social justice in the realms of the internet.
3) Tweek x Craig
Episodes: Tweek vs. Craig (Season 3, Episode 5) & Tweek x Craig (Season 19, Episode 6)
Tweek and Craig started as enemies and thanks to fan shipping, they evolved into a couple. Their meme-worthy evolution demonstrates the victory of fan culture in the narrative.
4) "Gingers Have No Souls"
Episode: Ginger Kids (Season 9, Episode 11)
Cartman’s crazy theory about redheads literally spread like wildfire raising a million debates and memes to vindicate the image of gingers.
5) "It’s Not a Meme"
Various Episodes
This line is quoted by the characters who choose to ignore real-life circumstances and has gained more popularity on the internet. It is very suitable for cases when a person does not want to recognize a trend − or, moreover, wants to make memes about the denial of memes.
6) "I’m Not Your Friend, Guy!"
Episode: A Scause for Applause (Season 16, Episode 13)
This is a very Canadian catchphrase to make sure that people understand that they are not there to be joked with — “I’m not your friend, guy!” Recurring in type, it guarantees it is as hilarious as relatable.
7) "You Killed Kenny!"
Recurring line on South Park
“You killed Kenny! You bastards!” is likely one of the most memorable quotes from South Park. It is used to refer to any exaggerated calamity.
8) "Screw You Guys, I’m Going Home"
Cartman’s catchphrase on South Park
Cartman’s final line when leaving any obnoxious occasion. This meme is the information-age equivalent of rage quit – useful when you need to exit a group chat you have no interest in participating in anymore.
9) "They Took Our Jobs!"
Episode: Go God Go (Season 10, Episode 12)
Originally employed to ridicule people’s sensationalized responses to a phenomenon such as an economic or social shift, this meme was ubiquitous to most conversations on immigration and consequent joblessness. Extra credit if you shout it with a fake accent.
10) "I Have No Idea What I’m Doing"
Various episodes
This South Park meme will be perfect for any time when you are essentially pretending to know what you are doing.
11) "The Coon"
Various Episodes Featuring Cartman’s Superhero Persona
The show is a hilarious parody of the modern vigilante tropes because of Cartman’s dark and brooding superhero identity. Basically, the Coon parodies anything involving exaggerated themes of self-importance or pretentiousness.
12) "Stan’s Dad is the Best"
Recurring Meme about Randy Marsh
Randy Marsh proved that he is the show’s best and most iconic anti-hero. From fighting in a baseball brawl to turning into Lorde (yes, that Lorde) the Randy memes are an appreciation of his strange ridiculousness.
13) "I’m Going to Hell!"
Recurring Theme on South Park
Often they say their souls are damned after accomplishing an act that is socially considered wrong. On social media, fake remorse is formally called an admission of guilt in jest — used mostly when one is guilty of minor wrongdoings such as taking the roommate’s snacks.
14) "You Will Never Find a More Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy"
Various Episodes
This meme, recalling a famous phrase from the Star Wars movies, refers to a number of internet communities, rows on Twitter, or any other chaotic place on the net.
15) "What What (In the Butt)"
Episode: Canada on Strike
The viral video in this episode of South Park became a meme in its own right. So simple it sticks in your head and so ridiculous that one can never get over it or parody it.
16) "Faith Hilling"
Episode: Faith Hilling (Season 16, Episode 3)
Pulling in your shirt for the cameras, Faith Hilling is a dead-on parody of internet trends, and pose memes. It takes a sarcastic tinge on how quickly these trends are fleeting.
17) "The Internet is Down"
Various episodes
Trending
There is nothing more catastrophic to the modern man than losing an internet connection and South Park nailed it. These memes obviously apply perfectly to real-life blackouts, at least where you and your internet data plan are not affected.
