Hmm. That's an interesting argument At least in the case of South Park I've never considered its humor "snarky", like TWP reviews of Veronica Mars episodes are snarky to me and South Park is like the essence of smarm, with its entire "caring about things is super lame" thesis

Wait, you associate that with smarm?

No, I would say that snark was pioneered far earlier, in the popularization of grunge. Criticism of snark, IMO, started with the self-aware So Fucking What (1994). South Park and Family Guy were the souring of snark, its inevitable corruption and gateway to toxicity.

Well sure DFW's anti-irony essay comes from all the way back in 1993
