Trey Parker and Matt Stone met up with The Hollywood Reporter in 2011 discuss their increasingly busy schedules and how they really feel about offending viewers inside and outside their audience on a semi-regular basis. Surprisingly, though, Parker said that he really doesn’t like that aspect of “South Park” as much as fans might think he does.
“When someone goes, ‘Oh, this group is really pissed off at what you said,’ there’s not a piece of my body that goes, ‘Sweet!’ ” Parker explained. “That means I did it wrong. I’m just trying to make people laugh.” Since there are so many countless examples of “South Park” going for the jugular over the years, this might come as a genuine surprise to long-time viewers of the series.

For his part, Stone backed up the assertion from his partner and series co-creator. “He’s genuinely a true artist,” Stone agreed. He further elaborated and admitted that he has much more of a temper compared to his writing partner and that Parker actively avoids confrontation. Well, with the 26th season of the series currently teeing up, the duo can probably expect a lot more controversy coming their way once again, regardless of Parker’s discomfort.
