The Zen of South Park wasn’t just tossed together on a whim, like the Russian constitution or the Axis of Evil. Rather, it was written after endless hours of repeatedly watching South Park until I thought I’d understood every nuance, angle and message that could possibly be communicated.


Though nothing can take away from the full experience of watching a classic South Park episode from start to finish, I’ve decided to create series of episode clips based on each of my chapters. These videos are condensed and compacted versions of the relevant material in each chapter of The Zen of South Park.


Try watching these clips before or after reading a chapter in order to better visualize the scenes under discussion, or just as a means of better understanding this project or the overarching messages of the show and the book.
