There's literally a stream of cartoons with intent to offend as many people as possible. They're all trash, but let me see how many I can look up real quick starting with dumb shit like Brickleberry or Paradise PD.
Like, literally being as offensive as possible is the entire fucking schtick of Adam Corrolla's Mr. Birchum, which just came out.
Honestly, the ones that are try-hard offensive fucking fail miserably. There's a lot of them. Stop pretending that taking risks is all it takes. You also actually have to have a pulse on social issues, which the South Park creators simply no longer do. People can be offensive and not funny. In fact, it's way easier to just be offensive than it is to be offensive and funny. Most only succeed at being offensive.
Companies want content that enrages people because they know that people get more involved with content they hate than content they love. They absolutely pour money into South Park copycats that try to go "anti-woke."
A travesty we aren't getting more seasons of Paradise PD and Farzar.
