I remember years back, when they took their first extended break and there were speculations about South Park being done, Trey Parker said something about having Cartman’s voice in his head constantly and so he needed to make the show to kind of exorcise that voice. I bet it’s the same with Randy at this point, too. They can’t help that they have the most obnoxious and insistent muse that’s ever mused.
I also think the title of the recent season finale (“Crap Out”) has multiple layers of meaning: they more or less crapped out a conclusion to a storyline, the story itself is literally a kind of crap out, AND I think there’s a lament/realization that what’s all happening in the US will simply crap out itself rather than be properly addressed and dealt with.
