Something to also keep in mind is that South Park, as it relates to the series as a whole, can be broken up to several eras. These eras, while aren't stringently defined, are different from one to the next. This is one of the ways the show stays fresh.

A stark example of this would be comparing the early seasons, say Seasons 1-4 for example, to recent seasons, say Seasons 16-20. When making this sort of comparison, we can witness expansive differences in all aspects of South Park, including the characters.

Now, one can't simply quantify how good or bad a particular era is based on others, because that's simply not fair. Some may appeal to some people more than others and that's okay. It's okay because there will be a new shift in episodes, and I think that is something we're going to see in Season 21. I want you to be excited for this.
