For a 13yo who hasn’t been sheltered exactly but also doesn’t need any ideas. I showed her the Holiday Songs episode from season 3. I was thinking the “Shit” episode, but what else?

All About Mormons. Has barely any swearing or sexual references. Just poking fun at Mormons and still hilarious and iconic.

I do love that one.

lol just rewatched that one last night, it’s a classic

[–] country_queen_13@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Love this episode; it’s my usual go to. That and The Ring (I think) when Kenny and his new GF, Tammy Warner, start wearing purity rings after seeing the Jonas Brothers concert.

No offense, but any 13-year-old that goes to a public school has been exposed to way worse by their friends and classmates than anything in South Park.
Especially in the age of the internet.

If the child's under 10, I would understand the concern. 13 though? Not really.

I was taught right and wrong, reality and fiction, by my parents when I was very young. I never took "advice" or "ideas" from anything in the adult media I watched as a child.

My kids rib me all the time for allowing them to watch SP but the thing is I've seen enough to know what I do/don't want them to watch and even on some of the more uncomfortable episodes if there's a lesson to learn I'll open a dialogue and educate them if needed. They see so much out of my control and awareness and I'd rather curate that as best I can do they're prepared for more heinous shit that really deserves my attention cuz at least the dialogue was started

My mom was skeptical of letting my sister and I watch SpongeBob when we were kids based off of what she had heard about the show. So she decided to watch an episode of it to see if it would be ok for my sister and I to watch.

Of course, the episode she saw was the “Sailor Mouth” episode where all the (numerous) cuss words are bleeped out by fish noises. The entire episode revolves around cussing and my sister and I were VERY sheltered by my mom.

So yeahhh it was a few years later until my sister and I were allowed to watch SpongeBob 😂.

[–] EyeDewDude@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ooooohhh boi, yeah sometimes it be like that unfortunately. I'm sorry. My kids mom had similar reservations but I'm nothing but a grown assed kid so I can vet shit like that. SpongeBob is the least of my worries. They watch total drama island with no supervision and I feel like that's way worse than anything SpongeBob has ever done

My kid doesn’t go to public school 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–] McNuggieAMR@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hasn’t been sheltered, eh?

[–] lucky7hockeymom@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

She doesn’t need to start acting like Cartman 😂😂 she’s also very, uh, passionate about social justice issues and I am NOT going to fight with her about a damn cartoon.

[–] WowWataGreatAudience@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Well don’t then lol explain the humour instead and try and convey what the issue the episodes are detailing is. Show them other viewpoints and ways of seeing things rather than your own personal opinions. They’re only your kid, they’re not you. Let them figure it out on their own

[–] Scary_Shower_6377@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Lol nah ignore them I'm glad I wasn't allowed to watch South Park or Game of Thrones either. 13 is very young and impressionable. I did play stick of truth in highschool though and I was shocked at one part of the game 😭 I wouldn't say I was sheltered but I'm glad my parents didn't expose me to any lewd or crass content. And low-key the people I knew in middle school and highschool that were south Park fans did act like Cartman 💀 They were not the nicest kids and class clown types and did curse a lot.. I would say the more sheltered kids at my school were those that weren't allowed to watch SpongeBob or Harry Potter. Anyways I'm about to graduate college and have just picked it up after the Black Friday episode was suggested a couple days before Thanksgiving. I'll say this show is genius 😂 And the Photoshop episode almost made me tear up. I looked it up and I was shocked that the episode came out so long ago. Actually I was literally in middle school when it came out 😭 I love that you're semi censoring it for your kid. And coming from a former 13 year old, seeing spicy scenes and crude jokes with my parents always made me cringe 😬 Still does! Anyways thanks for asking this question! I'm definitely going to watch the episodes people recommended!

As a 13 year old I have learned more things from my school that’s a private school than SP has

Make Love, Not Warcraft. The boys get addicted to World of Warcraft. Video game violence but nothing sexual.

[–] dark54555@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This is the first one I let my boys watch. It’s a very solid choice, and at most PG-13.

[–] TheReginator@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

And also one of the show's best episodes.

[–] xochi929@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Losing Edge, Tsst, Super Fun Time, Going Native, Tweek X Craig, and Basic Cable are some of my faves that are really tame

[–] External-Flounder-24@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Losing Edge

[–] RjgTwo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Super fun time.

[–] TimeTravelParadoctor@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Black Friday Trilogy has a few dick jokes but is mostly a game of thrones parody.

[–] Scary_Shower_6377@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I think parents were doing the do in this one 😅 so prolly not

[–] AlphaCenturionLXIX@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I started watching before I was 10 and I turned out fine haha. That being said, a personal favorite of mine is Spookyfish. It’s pretty tame and just plain silly fun with a “horror” aspect.

[–] lucky7hockeymom@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Oh that one is funny. I feel like people ignore the earlier seasons. Including me, sometimes.

I wasn’t allowed to watch it at all as a kid. Idk what other parents allow but my kid can’t keep her damn mouth shut so I don’t need her to be the only kid singing “shut your fucking face uncle fucker” At a completely inappropriate time. Kid has never been able to read a room.

[–] MrConbon@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So why not teach your 13 year old about “time and place”? They should know by that age when and where it’s appropriate to say certain things.

Zip lining, pip.

[–] OrdinaryFallenAngel@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Guitar Hero episode was what my first episode was at 11. Most of the actual adult jokes went over my head.

[–] Nice-Ad6510@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Civil War one was pretty tame (outside of some grabass) and is very funny and well done.

[–] Fluke97@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I fucking lose it Everytime Cartman loudly whispers, "I bet you can't, because you guys are pussies."

Mmh I wonder if the one on Scientology is OK for a 13 yr old, guys?

[–] lucky7hockeymom@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Oh she would probably get a kick out of that one

Let her watch the whole series.

[–] Figgy1983@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The one where the fireworks are replaced by a giant snake. But that has to be the most boring episode they ever made.

[–] dykwim@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] Simplythegirl98@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Guitar Hero Episode is pretty okay. The worst it gets is Heroin Hero, but for a 13 year old that isn’t really too bad in my opinion.

[–] Legal_Hyena_1241@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Good call. It’s actually a good lesson! Great episode too.

[–] nolimitxox@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
