Famously non-political South Park episodes:

  • Black people who complain about racism are the real racists (Chef Goes Nanners, S04E7)

  • Asking a doctor to do a gender reinforcng operation is the same as asking a doctor to make you black or a dolphin (Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina, S09E1)

  • Global warming was made up by Al Gore (Multiple, starting with ManBearPig, S10E9)

    They also joined in on the War on Christmas narrative with "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo", S01S09.

    Also

    • The Iraq War proves we need to have a balance between pro-war and anti-war (I'm a Little Bit Country, S07E04)

    • Rainforests should not be preserved and they are the reason developing countries have shantytowns and prostitutes (?????) (Rainforest Shmainforest, S03E01). Before you say that's clearly satire, a quote from wikipedia

    Parker and his girlfriend went to Costa Rica and hated the country, and that everything Cartman says about the rainforests and Costa Rica during the episode is how he (Parker) personally feels.

    There was an episode where they praised the arrival of Starbucks, as the mom and pop coffee shops all served shit.

    Also one episode with a hippie Woodstock kinda thing where Cartman breaks the whole thing with a giant "Journey to the center of the earth" type of drill
