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?

The Guitar Hero episode was what my first episode was at 11. Most of the actual adult jokes went over my head.
All About Mormons. Has barely any swearing or sexual references. Just poking fun at Mormons and still hilarious and iconic.
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.
That episode is kinda weird tbh
Yeah I can’t watch The Ring, it weirds me out
Oh interesting, what is weird about it for you?
The part about the little girls wanting the Jonas bros to give them BJ’s
lol just rewatched that one last night, it’s a classic
I do love that one.
I’ll never forget in college some Mormons approached me and I figured I’d see what they had to say.
Mormon Guy: So do you know anything about Mormons or Mormonism?
Me (can’t remember Joseph Smith’s name): Not too much, I just know that one main guy. What was his name?
Mormon Guy: Aw, Mitt Romney 😕

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.
fr. if they actually made an accurate movie about middle school, it would be rated R.
Nowadays especially. SP would’ve been a lot more shocking when it first came out compared to today.
As a 13 year old I have learned more things from my school that’s a private school than SP has
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 😂.
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
Yeah I feel like Cartoon Network had sketchier stuff than SpongeBob. Most of the adult jokes in SpongeBob I was too young to understand anyways.
But between school and eventually watching South Park, I learned about most of the stuff she was trying to hide
At least the worst that can happen watching South Park is they end up trying to kill the Jews. It could be worse, they could be fans of family guy
My kid doesn’t go to public school 🤷🏻♀️
Then what are you scared of? Your kids being “too” cool?
Hasn’t been sheltered, eh?
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.
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
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!
Wouldn’t it be healthier to be able to enjoy a TV show that you like with your parents without feeling uncomfortable? Why is feeling uncomfortable around your own parents a good thing in the slightest?
Lol I thought this was a universal feeling when kissing scenes come on with your parents until death jk jk
i think the simpsons already did it is a good one, scott tenorman must die, and definitely casa bonita
Pinewood Derby
Trapped in the Closet
Definitely awesome-O too.
Make Love, Not Warcraft. The boys get addicted to World of Warcraft. Video game violence but nothing sexual.
And also one of the show’s best episodes.
This is one of my favorite episodes
I’m burning!! Oh jesus im burninggg!!
This is the first one I let my boys watch. It’s a very solid choice, and at most PG-13.
“Carpal tunnel!! Carpal tunnel!!”
Mom! Bathroom, BATHROOM!
throw in fun times with weapons too obv.
Are You a Mormon
The Losing Edge, Tsst, Super Fun Time, Going Native, Tweek X Craig, and Basic Cable are some of my faves that are really tame
The Losing Edge
Super fun time.
Black Friday Trilogy has a few dick jokes but is mostly a game of thrones parody.
I think parents were doing the do in this one 😅 so prolly not
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.
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.
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.
When you can teach a 13yo w/autism and a behavioral disorder “time and place” you’re welcome to come over. I’ve been attempting that her whole life. But in the moment she’s too desperate to seem “cool”
Sounds like a parenting issue, not a south park issue. Ive been watching since i was 8
Zip lining, pip.
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.
The part where Stan is playing the driving game and has that turning point of realization and then puts the car in reverse and looks behind him as he reverses in game is such a funny visual gag
Good call. It’s actually a good lesson! Great episode too.
you never catch the dragon!
The messaging about heroin in that episode was more effective than any DARE ad I ever saw
