The PTC also criticized the show for its excessive use of the racial epithet " nigger " in the season 11 ( 2007 ) premiere " With Apologies to Jesse Jackson . " Despite its 43 uncensored uses of the word , the episode generated relatively little other controversy , as most in the black community and the NAACP praised the episode for its context and its comedic way of conveying other races ' perceptions of how black people feel when hearing the word . While some in the Jewish community have praised the show 's depiction of the character Eric Cartman holding an anti-Semitic attitude towards fellow student Kyle Broflovski as a means of accurately portraying what it is like for a young Jew to have to endure bigotry as an ethnic minority , other Jews have blamed '' South Park '' and Cartman for having found themselves surrounded by " acceptable racism . " '' South Park '' parodied Scientology in a short that aired as part of the 2000 MTV Movie Awards . The short was entitled " The Gauntlet " and also poked fun at John Travolta , a Scientologist . The season five ( 2001 ) episode " Super Best Friends " features illusionist David Blaine forming his own cult , called " Blaintology . " Parker and Stone have acknowledged that this is meant to be a reference to Scientology
