    This is functionally how South Park operates.

    A twenty-ish minute story-driven cartoon is extremely far from a live sketch comedy show that runs over an hour. Totally different beast.

    Don’t get me wrong, South Park’s process is impressive. But you can’t really compare the two. Wildly different show formats.

      No kidding. They need to do art and coordinate with voice actors, then create an original script that the audience will enjoy.

      A bit above a guy in a Spirit Halloween costume repeating the same punchline several times in a row while the rest of the cast stare at him blankly.
