Moral Orel

I think you need a part time job young man

South Park

Try to catch snowflakes on your tongue, it’s fun

If there’s a show that’s good at poking fun at absolutely everything, it’s South Park. The animated TV show is not a respecter of person, position, place and feelings. They literally take a dump on everyone and everything. Depending on who’s watching, it can get weird and annoying sometimes.
