Are people who don't understand SOUTHPARK humor less intelligent ?
 

I think they are for sure.

Less intelligent than who? A smug pseudo-intellectual that thinks he's head and shoulders above the masses because he understands South Park?

Less intelligent that the ones who do understand it.

you are intelligent?
wheres the WMD"s

common sense.

No they probably just have a life.

Well, they can be considered more intelligent for understanding "more" than other people, but at the same time... it can be considered just a "taste" which is differing amongst everyone, regardless of intelligence.

I guess so. But who doesn't understand southpark humour? I mean, it's not like it's an intellectual challenge.

someones taste depends on the persons intelligence. So it's basically the same.

Actually, they probably don't, but think their life is to but into everyone elses.... The one message I think comes thru on just about every episode is people need to mind their own business and live their own life... :pimp

As to the topic posed, yes I believe they are...

Wizzo, just curious what footage is your sig from? Awesome...

It's the same with Monty Python movies.
An intelligent person understands what's funny about it. Others see it as a load of crap without understanding the deeper meaning of it! yes

Ok, I love south park, but honestly.... even a special needs first grader understands southpark humor.

I think you meant to ask, "Are people who don't LIKE southpark humor less intelligent"..... I'd say no more so then people who can't articulate what they mean to say. :winkwink:

Basically the same? Sure, kinda like how you can judge someone's IQ by looking at their taste buds.

'Common sense' was posted earlier in the thread. That is it in a nutshell but most people dont have it.

I have met Trey several times, my best friend went to college with him. He is a funny mofo who is laughing all the way to the bank.

No thats not true. They enjoy it because of other reasons. For example, they laugh with the terrance and phillip fart jokes, because of the funny sound. Someone who understands how brilliantly funny these characters are, watches the show in another way.
And they also don't understand the deeper meaning behind the episodes from the last season :p

I guess you're one of those American Funniest Home Videos hahaha humor.
"Look my mom is decorating the christmas tree and omg, she falls!! LOOOOL, You win $10000, congratulations!!"

Name someone who doesn't understand it.

I don't "understand" southpark...but Monthy python.

Are people who don't understand AFHV humour less intelligent?

Hey, it's just as fair a question.

There is nothing to understand about AFHV. Someone falls down and that looks funny, that's about it.

I think it depends which area of in intelligence is in question.

South Park contains huge amounts of references that someone whose not tuned in just won't get. That same person might be an incredible chess player, yet lame at wit and satire. If you're like me you'd rather be friends with the person with a deeper sense of wit, but that's still no valid reason to question someone's intelligence.

Maybe I'm just way too fucking intelligent for my own good (although I highly doubt it), because I still can't comprehend how anyone from first grade up couldn't grasp southpark.

BTW - 10th season starts on Wed!!!!!

:1orglaugh God, I hate dipshits that think they're smarter than everyone else. You really think South Park humor is that deep? It's a preachy show that clubs you over the head with their message. I enjoy it but I don't think I'm some kind of whiz because I understand it.

I have gigantic taste buds.

This isnt about me.
I never said i'm some kind of whiz because i understand it. I just think people who understand it are more intelligent than people who don't. That doesn't mean they are Einsteins.

Kid, it's quite evident from your post you're patting yourself on the back for being smart enough to understand what you feel is the complex humor of South Park while the rest of the mouth breathing masses are laughing at fart jokes and watching America's Funniest Home Videos. Please fuck off to some teenage forum where your newfound and superior awareness of the world can be truly appreciated by your peers.

Its all about the person and what your into...i understand all the references cause thats my kind of a thing...i love movies like airplane,history of the world part II,and top secret ...now some people who had thier face in books all thier life and never got out the house just would not get it cause its not thier thing or what thier into.....ive seen countless rich guys get a flat and wont know how to change it or know how to check thier oil....but they way over shadow me with what they make a year i can do those things but dont ask me to do an open heart surgery or prosacute a mass murder cause it aint my thing....

Do you read my posts ?
You actually sound like you feel superior over the masses.

I agree with you,people who dont understud that kind of humor are hypocrats,for example actor who give voice to chef.

Yes, I read your posts.

Not superior over the masses, just smug know-it-all teenagers.

Isaac Hayes yes...
Too bad he left the show because of some scientology jokes.

OHH yea now thats another can of worms to get into toooo :1orglaugh

There's a lot of subtext there.

Just because someone can see the "hidden references" in South Park only means they're media junkies. Nothing more. Same as with the Simpsons. I can't stand South Park and even when I was in a room when it was on and understood the references they were making light of, I thought it still retarded and low brow.

Now Family Guy; anyone who can't grasp the genius behind that shit are just plain stupid.

;)

No, people who watch AFHV in general are on a lower IQ level than most.

It's not only the hidden references that are funny.
The greatest thing about the show are all the different characters that are all brilliant and funny, each in their own way... and that's what some people like you don't get.

Family guy is also a great and funny show. But less intelligence needed to understand :p They even mention that in a southpark episode... It's just a series of flashbacks... "Whow, i havent had this much fun since that time... -insert joke 845 here-"
But the family guy characters are great though, especially peter and brian :1orglaugh

Some people think Shakespeare was a great writer. I think he's a fucking hack. In fact, I think anyone who thinks Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" a work of art is a self-absorbed masturbator, as I think most art-appreciating dick-heads are. (Not to knock masturbation, just those rainbow-jumping, sandal-wearing, art-loving pansies).

Just because I MAY think such things, does that make me any less intelligent than those who follow former, prescribed and often made-up critiques of such works that somehow a bunch of other sheep happened to agree with and follow?

Probably.

Why I wrote this post. I don't know. Guess I should start watching South Park, or something. *shrug*

Have you ever taken a tour of the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam?
