    My take is that SP is a show about how everyone is capable of being hypocritical, petty and inflammatory. It touches on uncomfortable subjects because those are what bring people to show the aforementioned traits.

    I don’t think “dark humor” is the point, it’s just there to keep the viewer engaged so they can see social issues from another angle and reconsider their views.

      Yeah, it’s been a while since they graduated from sophomoric jokes into using their show to convey real messages about the world we live in. The satire is exquisite. My partner, who comes from a very different culture, typically doesn’t enjoy USA style comedy. She loves SP, though.
