Disclaimer

The satrical disclaimer for South Park appears at the start of most episodes just before the title sequence.

The disclaimer itself is a joke that breaks the fourth wall of the show. It puns various things such as the fact that it uses real life people and events whereas other media usually adds a sign at the end of their production that this is merely coincidental. It also states that the show should not be viewed by anyone, this is similar to the actual broadcast of South Park in some countries where episodes have been banned or the whole series is banned.

The format of the disclaimer has been tweaked slightly over the past few years. It was designed in a different manner for the first two seasons along with half of the third. The disclaimer was later redesigned into a sleaker format that is used today.

An episode that did not feature the disclaimer was Pip. The movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut didn't use it either.
