South Park and Simpsons both suffer from their own past glory. Where exactly do you go next year after woodland criter Christmas?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodland_Critter_Christmas

Really, even in off seasons they often have great episodes, they simply suffer by comparison.

South Park keeps surprising me with each new season. I died at their portrayal of Zuckerberg.

Make Love Not Warcraft was a highlight for me. Maybe it's the geek thing.

South Park has gotten to obsessed with current events lately. Every episode seems like a transparent rehash of recent political news now. I think they are now interested in using the show to push their political opinions where it used to be about being funny and the themes and jokes were more timeless. It could also be that they just ran out of material after 21 seasons so they use current events as a writing crutch.
