One of the hallmarks of South Park is the way it hilariously portrays the hypocrisy of society; as a result, this trope has popped up countless times throughout the series.
- In the episode "The Passion of the Jew", members of Kyle's synagogue are protesting Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. "It turns Jews into stereotypes," says a guy with an extremely stereotyped "Jewish" accent.
- In the "Casa Bonita" episode:Kyle: You're not my friend. All you ever do is call me names and rip on me for being Jewish.
Cartman: Kyle... when have I ever ripped on you for being a Jew? [cue overly long Clip Show montage] Okay except maybe for that one time... - Another Kyle example: "The Entity" has Kyle meet his very Jewish cousin from Connecticut (who is also named "Kyle") and constantly be embarrassed by him because the cousin is stereotypically whiny, neurotic, and bad at sports. "I'm Jewish, and he's making me hate Jews!" he complains to Stan. Then Stan points out that by resenting his cousin's Jewishness, Kyle is himself becoming a stereotype — that of the self-hating Jew. This only horrifies Kyle more!
- In "A Very Crappy Christmas", they're watching a Charlie Brown special and Stan complains about the style: "How come everyone in cartoons has such big heads?"
- Gerald and Sheila are extremely tolerant of gay people, except when they think their son is turning gay.
- Randy Marsh provides several examples such as telling his father he won't treat him like a child and then telling him he needs to apologize to Mr. Police Officer and complaining about the economy failing due to people spending their money on luxuries while using an expensive Margaritaville-brand mixer.
- In "Eat, Pray, Queef", Terrance and Phillip hold Katherine and Katie Queef at gunpoint for getting them fired from the Canada Channel, and Terrance accuses the Queef sisters of reducing said channel to smut and toilet humor, even though their show contains exactly what Terrance mentioned.
- In "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs" the boys write a disgusting story but claim that Butters wrote it so they don't get blamed. When people like the story they tell Butters that he shouldn't take credit for something he didn't write while he thinks he did indeed write it.Butters: No! Let me tell you somethin', fellers! You always take advantage of me, and after reading The Catcher in the Rye, I've learned you're nothing but phonies! I'm not letting you trick me this time! So the four of you can just suck on my wiener!
Cartman: [after Butters walks away] That inconsiderate jerk! - In "It Hits The Fan" when people freely use the word "shit."Cartman: Wow, this is gonna be great! A whole new word!
Kyle: It's NOT NEW! I'm gonna look "shit" up in the encyclopedia and prove it!
Cartman: Don't mind Kyle, everyone, he's just got a little sand in his vagina.
Kyle: THERE'S NO SAND IN MY VAGINA!!
Ms. Choksondik: Boys, watch your language! Shit! - Later in the episode, after a dragon known as Geldor is defeated by the Knights of Standards and Practices, Geldor Geldor's last words are "Lame, bummer, dude" in a voice similar to Cartman's, which Cartman remarks as stupid.
- The "Death Camp of Tolerance" is built around this trope, with the most brutal lampshade hung on the parents seeing a guy smoking outside the "Museum of Tolerance" and taunting him, led by the woman who'd just finished giving a speech about how you need to respect the opinions and lifestyles of others.
- Our formal introduction to the Goth kids in "Raisins":Goth Kid: If you wanna be one of the nonconformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do.
- At a talent show, the Goth Kids perform "Talent Shows Are For Fags" with the lyrics "No no no no no, I'm not gonna be in the talent show. Oh no no no no. I'll never be in your faggy talent show."
- From "My Future Self 'n Me":Sharon: Stan, what did I tell you about watching The Osbournes?
Stan: Aw, come on, Mom.
Sharon: It's going to make you retarded!
Stan: It's just a show! It doesn't have any fucking effect on me, for fuck's sake! - In the episode "Free Hat," the boys attempt to get George Lucas and Steven Spielberg to stop releasing updated and altered versions of their movies. Midway through the episode, there is an advertisement for a fictional updated rerelease of "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" that includes things such as CGI, Star Wars characters, and other things Parker and Stone didn't have the budget for when they initially created the series.
- In "I'm A Little Bit Country", Sheila is holding a picket sign reading "War Is Not My Voice" at the anti-war protest. Strange considering the fact that she once started one.
- Earlier in the episode, the boys are told about a walkout for those who want to participate instead of doing classwork, they're later admonished by Mr. Garrison for stating on the news that they don't know anything about the Founding Fathers although Mr. Garrison hasn't taught them anything about history.
- In another scene, Kenny is berated by his Pro-Iraq War father for hanging out at Stan's and is pulled away from the study group, Gerald and Randy express disgust over Stuart convincing Kenny to side with him while on the other hand they push their own kids to participate in a war protest by reading their essay.
- In "200", Joseph Smith says that people get upset when Muhammad is made fun of because he's a religious figure, immediately followed by Buddha doing crack in front of kids. This carries over into the next episode, when Jesus gives Buddha flak for snorting cocaine, despite being in the process of watching pornography.Jesus: Buddha, will you lay off that stuff already? It's gettin' to be a problem.
Buddha: Oh, and you're one to talk, with all your internet porn!
Jesus: Watching porn isn't like doing coke, fag.- Ironically, these scenes got the episode and the entire series banned in Sri Lanka.
- In "Cancelled" the boys learn that Earth is just a reality show as aliens decided placing species from different planets on the same planet would make great television. Stan notes that isn't right because they're playing with people's lives and turning their problems into entertainment. Cartman adds that we would never do that on Earth.
- In "Spookyfish" after Officer Barbrady is released from captivity in the basement, Randy asks him if he want his pants back. Barbrady says that he only wants to walk away with his dignity before continuing his patrol without them.
- In "T.M.I.", when Stan tells Cartman that he's overreacting, he says he's not before furiously shaking the lunch table.
- In "Cherokee Hair Tampons", the owner of the holistic medicine store keeps countering every argument about someone needing to see a doctor with "they only care about money", usually before turning to her current customer and telling them that their total comes to $230+.
- On the episode "Good Times With Weapons", Butters is disguised as a dog because his eye was accidentally impaled by a ninja star and he's taken to an animal hospital where a veterinarian notices the injury and laments about how people can be capable of animal cruelty while at the same time, the vet takes out a syringe and prepares to euthanize some dogs.
- South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut:
- Cartman makes a comment about how the animation in Terrance & Phillip is crappy. Then it shows the boys "walking" (In the typical animation of South Park, where they bounce up and down) away. To drive the joke home, this comes RIGHT after the Animation Bump filled opening musical number, which actually shows the boys walking.
- After Mr. Garrison tells Cartman off for calling Kyle a "fucking Jew", Kyle responds with "No, he’s talking about fuck. You can’t say 'fuck' in school, you fucking fatass!"
- The boys watch Cartman's mom in a German porno film and Kyle remarks "Your mom sucks, Cartman." Well, seeing what his own mother does here, it's clearly throwing stones in a glass house.
- When Brooke Shields mentioned she once farted on the set of The Blue Lagoon, Terrence slaps her and shouts "The fuck's wrong with you!?".
- All of the mothers in town stage a massive protest against Canada for allowing a filthy cartoon (mostly foul language) to be displayed to children. The group sings a song about the whole ordeal, going on about how Canada is to blame for all of the problems with the kids while saying at the end that they (the mothers) need to blame someone before they themselves get blamed.
- In the Spanish dub, Cartman sings "la mama de Kyle es una puta" (Kyle's mom is a whore). And we all know about Cartman's mom...
