Random Crazy Good Fan Theories About South Park (15 items)

(#12) Continuity Depends on Kenny Staying Alive
This theory essentially states that as long as Kenny is a live, basic continuity is achievable. The concept has quite a few flaws but the evidence that supports it is that most of the time when there is continuity in the show, it is during a time when Kenny hasn't died (or he's died and stayed dead, as when Cartman built a Shakey's Pizza out of stem cells rather than saving his ailing friend). Just because Kenny hasn't died doesn't mean there has to be continuity, however.
(#14) Randy and Sharon are Half-Siblings
Stan's parents being half siblings might sound like a pretty crazy fan theory but there is a little bit of evidence to back this up. Originally, Jimbo was supposed to be Sharon's brother, not Randy's half-brother. What's more, they've both referred to Stan's grandpa Marvin as their actual father. The rest of the theory is a little shaky, especially since children in law frequently call their new parents "dad" or "mom." But this just sounds like something South Park might do.
(#8) Cartman Is Deeply in Love with Kyle
Ever wonder why Cartman has so much hate built up inside him? According to this theory his hatred is really just a manifestation of his romantic love for Kyle. Cartman constantly berates Kyle and his Jewish heritage not because he dislikes him, but because he's in denial and is just a kid who doesn't know how to deal with his feelings properly.
(#6) Kenny Is the Reason No One Ages in South Park
Basically, the idea behind this theory is that Kenny isn't immortal, but he does have a unique ability to regenerate. It states that time then warps around him in a supernatural way and the whole town of South Park has somehow gotten wrapped up in his regenerative time warping phenomenon. Of course, the boys did once age up to fourth grade, but they've been stuck there ever since.
(#4) Caitlyn Jenner Is Old News Thanks To Mr. Garrison
South Park isn't generally the most tolerant place, so it's striking that the whole town was eager to embrace Caitlyn Jenner. How is it that Kyle is the sole person in this "podunk mountain town" who rejects the praise for the transgender Jenner? Because in South Park, Mr. Garrison paved the way a decade before, transitioning to female before ultimately transitioning back.
(#10) South Park Is Purgatory for Dead Morons
According to this theory, all of South Park is, in fact, purgatory for idiots. All of the adults have ended up in the ethereal plane of South Park after death because of their overwhelming idiocy while all of the kids are essentially angels in training, trying to learn about humanity by interacting with the most imbecilic members of the species. Not to mention the fact that Jesus and Satan (the only ones who would really care about these morons) just stop by all the time to check in on things regularly.
