South Park Writer Reflects on Regrettable Joke During SXSW

News summary

Pam Brady, a writer for 'South Park' from 1997 to 2008, recently reflected on a particularly controversial joke she wrote, which she now considers the most misogynistic she has ever penned. The line, spoken by the character Mr. Garrison in the film 'South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut,' stated, 'I don’t trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die.' Although she expressed regret over the joke, she noted that the culture of comedy has evolved, requiring writers to be more cautious. Brady emphasized the importance of gender representation in writers' rooms, stating that the South Park team has maintained a balanced male-female ratio. She acknowledged the changing landscape of comedy and the impact of cancel culture, admitting that while some jokes from the past might not be acceptable today, the evolution of societal norms can lead to positive changes in humor. Brady's comments came during her promotion of the new animated series '#1 Happy Family USA' at the SXSW Festival.
