Over in the South Park subreddit, the superfans recently commiserated about all of the previously inoffensive phrases and pieces of media that have been “ruined” by a South Park joke. Here are a few of those cultural casualties…
“Randy singing ‘Buffalo Soldier’ has forever replaced the original for me. ‘Stolen from AF-RI-CA!!’”
“I started ‘Game of Thrones’ way too late…WIEN-er, wiener WIEN-er”
“Going way back...I now associate Stevie Knicks (sic) with a goat”
“The name Sharon and whenever somebody says one of the following ‘guy,’ ‘friend’ or ‘buddy’”
‘Family Guy’
“Any disaster film due to Randy stupid ass startling and the guinea pigs”
“‘Pokerface,’ I sing it as Cartman every time”
“Water parks — as a minority myself, I think of the song Cartman sang, and as my OCD got worse over the years, I just know it’s all pee so I don’t even go lol”
“When someone say ‘I ’ I just hear the berries go ‘I memba’”
“I’m no longer able to properly pronounce either ‘authority’ or ‘integrity.’ Come to think of it, ‘city’ often gives me similar difficulty”
