When Garrison interrupts a school presentation on Canadian history he is fired, stirring tension between American and Canadian students. He uses the song to rally the townspeople to his cause. Garrison reacts to this by composing a song, "Where My Country Gone?" lamenting how illegal immigration has ruined his country. When he reacts intolerantly to a group of them disrupting his class, PC Principal forces the entire faculty to take "Canadian-language" night classes to better help their Canadian students. Garrison observes that many Canadians have entered the United States illegally, placing many Canadian students in South Park Elementary. His reward is to be driven back home by Jenner, who runs over a pedestrian while leaving the White House (in reference to Jenner's real life collision ). Stan and Kyle may often close out an episode by explaining what they learned, but so did the loyal audience.Kyle is unwillingly honored at the White House by Barack Obama for his acceptance of Caitlyn Jenner (in the previous episode). More often than not, the show's assessments were right on the money. Sometimes they mocked current trends, and sometimes they even predicted future ones. Some episodes of South Park not only made us laugh, but also made us think long and hard about myriad issues that have popped up over the years. However, within all of those controversial episodes and ridiculous jokes, a bunch did something beyond shock audiences: they were smart and made us think. Given the ease with which creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone can turn around episodes, they continuously pull inspiration from current events and major moments in our culture - often to masterfully humorous effect. Even early on in the show’s successful run, it was never afraid to push the envelope or too intimidated to say something others wouldn’t.
After nearly two decades on the air, there are few topics the Comedy Central series has not broached, tackled, or skewered in some form or another. For a crudely animated cartoon about four young Colorado boys living in their small rural hometown, South Park has seen and done it all.
