Top 10 Best South Park Running Gags

1. "Oh my God! They killed Kenny!"

   

   Kenny used to always die, every episode. And each time, Stan and Kyle would yell, "Oh my God! They killed Kenny! You Bastards!" Some people think the "You bastards" line is breaking the fourth wall and referring to the show's creators.

   This is the most iconic and memorable gag in South Park. Every time Kenny died, Kyle and Stan would say this.

2. Cartman's "Screw you guys, I'm going home!"

   

   This is pretty much the best thing to say when you get very annoyed with someone. It's one of Eric Cartman's most popular quotes of all time.

3. Butters getting grounded

   

   This gag sees Leopold "Butters" Stotch get grounded by his dad, often for something insignificant or that was not poor Butters' fault.

4. The rednecks saying "They took our jobs!"

   

5. Chef singing

   

   When Chef was a regular character on the show, the kids would often turn to him for advice. He would often start singing them a song, especially if the advice was about women.

   This actually made the first few seasons of South Park more funny and enjoyable to watch. I really like it when Chef sings.

6. "I learned something today" speech

   

   At the end of many South Park episodes, one of the boys gives a speech about what life lesson he has learned throughout the episode.

7. "Kick the baby!"

   

   This running gag only happened during the first few seasons of South Park. It would see Kyle kick his baby brother Ike and send him flying.

8. Randy Marsh's alcoholism

   

   Randy Marsh having substance abuse problems is something that occurs often on the show. It gets the character in trouble.

9. Canada and Canadians

   

   The show portrays Canadians in a humorous manner. This is easy to notice by the different way in which Canadian characters are drawn.

   The way the Canadians are designed in the show is just really hilarious. Also, the way they talk is really funny.
