South Park would be a very strange kind of propaganda, if that's what it was. It marginalizes itself by being disgusting, whereas most propaganda tries to put itself in front of polite company (schools, etc.). It also has several levels of mockery, including mockery of itself, and propaganda doesn't risk mocking itself.

Quite the opposite. By being "disgusting" it makes itself required viewing by every school child in the country to to prove how subversive they are.

Because political satire and propaganda are two different things, power and resistance.
