I’m in a Rhetorical writing class and for our final we have to analyze the Rhetoric of an article, video, piece of media, etc. I want to do mine on the rhetoric of Southpark. I wanted to ask you all what episode(s) should I cover. Basically I need to examine an argument being made by the show. It doesn’t need to be a good argument they just need to be taking a stance on an issue. My job is to analyze whether the argument is good or bad and what tools the creators use in making their argument. I’d love you recommendations

How about the family guy one, where Cartman tries to use the threat of violence to get the show cancelled

Hire a mexican to write your essay.

That's what South Park would do.

How about the Panderverse special? You could talk about Pandering in media and how people react to it.

S07E13, Butt Out, makes a pretty compelling argument that people who try to get in the way of smokers' rights are at best busybodies and at worst hypocrites. The episode argues that people should be allowed to smoke if they want to; they know the risks and have decided to enjoy cigarettes despite those risks. Tobacco companies might not be the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory that episode portrays them to be, but South Park argues they're supplying a demand and creating jobs.

How about that episode where everyone goes nuts with plastic surgery. The duality of either being comfortable in your own skin vs changing it with modern medicine
