Who is the most authentic South Park celebrity interpretation?

Yall. Started 2 watch South Park. Need 2 catch up on a lot of episodes.
Helps me 2 formulate my opinion on modern issues and a lot of pop cultural issues.

Not sure who I should like the most/find the funniest. Feel ‘jealous’ of South Park for being ’so mainstream’ but also ‘being cutting edge.’ Not sure if I should ‘respect it’, ‘go out of my way 2 h8 it’, or ‘pretend I don’t watch it.’

Who is an authentic celebrity interpretation?

Bono?

The Jonas Brothers?

Tay Zonday + numerous internet memes?

Jennifer Lopez? [via Mexi humor]

Barry Obama?

Tom Cruise?

Crystal Castles? [via Canadian humor]

Kanye West being a ‘fggt fish.’

Do yall think that South Park is more authentic than Family Guy, or The Simpsons, or are they the kind of people who just ‘make fun of shit’ but ‘don’t make the world better’?

Sometimes I feel like South Park is ‘funnie’ and that I am the only bro who ‘gets it’ like it is supposed 2 be ‘gotten.’ But then I get sad because ‘every1 likes South Park and I feel like less of an individual who likes progressive comedy. Wish I lived in the mid90s, back when there wasn’t a high demand for ‘progressive comedy’ and not every1 consumed it and made it a part of their personality.

Kinda feel _______ about a show that has ‘become popular’ but still ‘being progressive’ and ‘attempting 2 maintain a cutting edge tone’ with the ‘mass audience that they have garnered.’

Just wanna go ‘adult swimming’, and laugh at progressive comedy, dreaming about how ‘I am random and smart…maybe 1 day I can write this stuff… Might start a pop culture blog instead with political opinions.’

HRO in some cartoon about Hipsters on Al Gore’s internet TV station thingy

How do u feel about online media that ‘makes fun of hipsters’? I feel like it usually appeals to people who are on the sidelines of hipsterdom, and have an unhealthy obsession with ‘what is means to be alt.’ Kind of like the people who bought $100 worth of American Appy, a pair of shutter shades, and other miscellaneous ‘look@me’ accessories, but only wear it once to an 80s themed party and spend the whole night saying, “OMG i look like such a hipster. hehe.”

Here are two screen shots from the cartoon

I hope 50% of my readership has purple hair. Should I change the HRO layout/blog title? Did u connect with it on a meta-post-meta-alt-physical level?

Hey look that’s me, yall! right next 2 my other fave site. “Loves it! That is all.”

Watch the video just to hear the use of the words ‘mainstreamer’ and ‘alt.’ (Also if you like Nike spaceships and floating Steve Aokis.)

Did u like the video? What was ur fave part? Does it represent U? Is it for FGGTs?

How do u feel about ‘hipster’ themed videos? I feel like alt audience will always think this is ghey, because ‘most of us’ are alt-er than the entry-level, uneducated alts who are portrayed in this. Most mainstream-ish [HIGHLY PORTRAYABLE] alts who are REALLY alt aren’t even smart enough to use the internet to do more than social network/upload photos/change user pics/write on walls.

Remember the Hipster Olympics? That went s00 alt-viral.

I was also searching for a video that was representative of the ‘poor portrayal of American Apparel mockery’ genre, but I happened to stumble upon an authentic gem that is better at showing
<3 entry level ’searching for my inner alt’ alts <3

I wish I could have been there 4 this.
This video is so much deeper than stuff like this.
