Wow, bravo and props for South Park to making another useless television episode. Might as well watch and see if it is worth watching.

I actually do not watch it very often, I used like a year ago. Whenever nothing else is entertaining on television, I will watch South Park for the boredom.

| You don't need a college course to understand the 'deep meanings' of South Park. Most of the time it's shoved in your face in the last 5 minutes of the episode with a monologue from Stan or Kyle. If you watch South Park to get new perspectives or opinions, you're an idiot. It's a fun cartoon that you watch if nothing else is on. |

Altair understands my reasoning.

| You can teach yourself a lot of things. If you think South Park is deep beyond comprehension without the resources of a university to the extent that it's comparable with high level mathematics or other artistic analysis I sincerely hope you never vote in an election or reproduce. |

"Can you describe all of the characters' behaviors (and the meaning behind why they act that way and how it is related to us) effectively without a sociology teacher? Probably not."
It's pretty simple stuff lol.
Cartman is, as you said, the embodiment of deep, dark urges that most people suppress. His behavior in the show is explained away by his awful parent and lack of a father figure or any role model (also explains why he looks up to multiple one-off characters throughout the show).
Kyle and Stan sort of share a role as the group's moral compass, but there are a couple of differences. I'd say that on an alignment scale Kyle is lawful good, and Stan is lawful neutral. Stan comes from a household with a lot of practical joking, so he takes more kindly to Cartman's mischief. Kyle is from a strongly religious family that essentially raised him right. He occasionally tolerates Cartman's antics when they don't conflict with his morals, and there are even instances in the show where he follows along because it is in line with his religion (although this usually isn't mentioned). They embody our natural reaction to what Cartman does in slightly different ways. Kyle usually outright refuses to humor Cartman's schemes, but Stan is often AT LEAST tempted. It all comes together to represent how we perceive things. Cartman's actions throughout the show are often very anti-society, either fundamentally or literally. Kyle is the reaction we put on as a front. Often we are Stan, and entertain certain dark thoughts even if only briefly.
Kenny is even easier to analyze than Cartman. He's pure comedic relief. He's very similar to Cartman but was likely abused by his parents rather than simply having one parent. This would explain his servile personality, and I'd say borderline Stockholm Syndrome. |

I did without a class, and I'm positive that smarter and dumber people than me can do the same thing.
Although, since I've taken a couple of psychology classes, I can also add that it's pretty likely that Cartman is the viewer's Id, Stan the viewer's Ego, and Kyle the viewer's Superego. |
