I think we acknowledge how diverse the South park fanbase is in question of age, and I notice how the younger fans of the show (me included) detest Tegridy Randy while the older fans seem to like and relate to him and his attitude.

Me personally, I dislike him and I'm a younger fan with asshole parents lol. I want to hear all opinions of all age groups.

Just focusing on the Tegridy Farms thing: I think it resonated with fans (like me) who are older millennials and have been fans of the show since the beginning when we were in middle school. We're prematurely world-weary and the idea of just going "fuck it, weed farm" was funny, even at the expense of Randy's (and the show's) traditional angles. That being said, I think it wore out its welcome for everyone which is why they've dialed it back, but I think it's still a way for Matt and Trey to get some distance from their own formula.
