And that's one of the reasons why South Park animation was explicitly banned. Some dude with enough knowledge in basic editing and AI prompts can produce an episode that reminds people of what made the show popular in the first place decades ago.
It's a simple formula of "wacky self contained plot event happens, here's how those wacky South Park characters handle it, Stan gives a lesson about what was learned, Kenny dies, credits"
Yes there was even a later episode where the kids made their own cartoon using the same technique, poking fun at themselves before they got better computer graphics tools

Ironic, considering the show looks like a kindergartner made it. IIRC the pilot episode actually was made with construction paper and glue.
