Which one had that most controversy? Beavis and Butthead or South Park?

South Park offends just to offend. Keeps it fresh I guess.

Beavis walked so that Cartman could make Scott eat his own parents in a chili

South Park, definitely. Hell, Cartman making that kid eat his parents alone is worse than anything B&B has done, lol. And I’m not counting any religious groups or anything they’ve made fun of 🤣

For peak controversy Beavis and Butthead...U.S. Senator Ernest F. Hollings mispronounced Beavis and Butt-Head as "Buffcoat and Beaver" during a 1993 Senate hearing on television violence.

Volume of controversy and longevity South Park is unsurpassed.

Souh Park intentionally target every people, topic, and culture. Beavis and Butthead is more like a dumb parody but shows what happens if parents neglect their children (both in universe and real life)

I mean, the Beavis and Butt-Head one had a kid burning down a house. I’d say that that was way more controversial at the time.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone turned South Park into a controversy machine. Mike Judge never had any designs towards that with B&B.

Beaver and Butt-Hole. Don't know anyone else who often who's camper they were wacking in.

I'd say B&B, at least initially. never forget MTV altered the actual master tapes of some episodes after the fire incident. but I'd say by the time South Park hit the movie, maybe a bit later, it took the crown

Really?

Cartman gets an anal probe? Kenny getting obliterated all the time?

Beavis and Butthead is like normal tv compared to South Park.

[-]

RobbySuave@reddit

Anal probes and murder is funny. Setting houses on fire is not. Young fans were setting their houses on fire, and Beavis and Butt-Head was getting blamed for it. South Park never got heat like that.

[-]

stoned_in_my_bones@reddit

exactly, thank you. but to be fair, SP has gotten heat for basically everything besides murder as far as I can tell. personally I think it's a silly question overall, especially seeing as Cartman and the gang likely wouldn't have ever existed without B&B. near positive Trey and Matt have said that themselves, or at least heavily implied it

South Park totally I wasn't allowed to watch it until high school

South Park

South Park for sure. That being said, Beavis and Butthead walked so South Park could run.

[-]

Beavis & Butt-head was offensive to parents in the 90s. South Park has offended entire religions and countries.

[-]

Comfortable_Bird_340@reddit

If you were a parent in the 90s, you hated B&B, South Park, Ren and Stimpy, and The Simpsons.

[-]

GigaSoup@reddit

Thank you for clearly demonstrating the scale

[-]

GigaSoup@reddit

South Park by so much that the answer should be obvious.

[-]

BabalonBimbo@reddit

B&B were more heavily censored from their controversy and while fewer, was probably bigger. Beavis wasn’t able to say “Fire” until the show went from MTV’s to Mike Judge’s. South Park had a running tally of the word “shit”.

Beavis and butthead ran so that South Park could walk.

[-]

Flatoftheblade@reddit

South Park based on the Mohammad controversy alone.

[-]

Fimbir@reddit

South Park are edgelords. Beavis and Butthead sniffed fumes and set things on fire. But reality isn't as as important as feelings so I guess South Park.

[-]

DarkMagickan@reddit

South Park. B&B was always more about juvenile humor, and didn't take on real world topics the way SP does. There's nobody out there lobbying for the right of teenagers to huff paint before painting some guy's house in trashy psychedelic colors. Nobody is offended by the episode where the boys bought non-alcoholic beer under the mistaken impression it would get them drunk.
