Running Gag / South Park

Go To

  • "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" "You bastards!"
  • Other than the obvious ones, such as Kenny dying, there are other, smaller ones such as Cartman's almost unvarying goal to get "ten million dollars". It's never explained why he wants exactly ten million dollars, and the closest they get to it is when another character reveals their own plan to get ten million dollars, they say "that's how scams work."
    • In "Cartmanland", it is revealed Cartman always wanted one million dollars to buy a theme park. Why he wants the other nine is never shown.
  • Whenever Darryl Weathers shows up, he'll inevitably yell out "DEY TOOK AR JERBS!" or a variation of it.
    • "THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!"
    • "DEY TOOK ERR JERBS?!"
    • "DEY TOOKUR JEEOBS!"
    • "DRR TRRKA JRR!!"
    • "DURKA DUR!"
  • During the earlier seasons at least, there is at least the outline of one of the aliens from the first episode's heads once per episode. EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE.
  • On the DVD release of the first season, Matt and Trey have "Fireside chats" between the episodes, in which they have a dog named "Old Scratch" who changes breed (and even changes into stuffed animals) each time he is seen.
  • There was also more than one mention of Cartman wanting to give Kyle AIDS. Until he does.
  • Scott is a dick.
  • "You know, I learned something today."
  • "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!"
  • "I'm gonna need about tree fitty."
  • "Herro this is Shitty Wok." or when he says "Dem Mongorians broke down my shitty wall!" A.K.A him saying shitty instead of city.
  • Season 19 has PC Principal making a speech and—GODDAMMIT, LESLIE, SHUT YOUR FUCKING PIEHOLE!
    • The season also has Caitlyn Jenner running people over with her car, a reference to her infamous February 2015 collision. "Buckle up, buckaroos!"
