I've always found it funny how I've seen folks from both ideological sides point to this film as a satire of what's wrong with the other. It's a simple satire, but that's what makes it effective.
Judge is master at this type of commentary. Beavis and butthead was making fun of how stupid the MTV audience was. The same audience that adopted and Beavis and Butthead just as fast as it was incepted.
King of the hill is the ultimate "Steven Colbert is a sincere conservative show." In king of the hill Hank is a nieve Texan that buys into every bullshit "American exceptionalism" type idealogy there is. He then humanizes him and shows how every single time Hank is returning to "American values" he's just being nieve and if he were born anywhere else he would be just as liberal as he is a "conservative."
I mean, this honestly just sounds like you're saying he's really good at vapid "commentary" that is little more than broad observational humour that falls apart on close inspection. "Stupid people are stupid" isn't exactly putting you up there with George Carlin.
This is exactly the problem South Park has; the only "commentary" they're actually willing to commit to is "everyone sucks". This is neither helpful, nor in any way actually accurate.
As the saying goes, if everywhere you go smells like dogshit, check your shoes.
Sure but maybe you need a mirror?
