It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center.

If you smoke pot you may grow up to find out that you're not good at anything.

It's all based on saying the shocking thing. We used to have a great time going to Hollywood parties and saying 'I think George Bush is doing a great job.' We'd clear out the room. I used to love it.

It's this simple law, which every writer knows, of taking two opposites and putting them in a room together. I love anything with Cartman and Butters at the same time, it's great.
