One of the most popular online references to Best Friends Forever is a reference to a [[South Park]] episode of the same name.  Despite the episode's title, the show did not deal with (or promote) the idea of best friend forever friendships. Rather, the show dealt with the dysfunction of the friendship between two of the show's main characters while evoking Satanic imagery and satirizing the Terry Schiavo murder.

One of the most popular online references to Best Friends Forever is a reference to a [[South Park]] episode of the same name.  Despite the episode's title, the show did not deal with (or promote) the idea of best friend forever friendships. Premiering a short time after the Terry Schiavo controversy, the episode focused on one of the four young protagonists, Kenny, who was put into a persistent vegitative state, one of the many obvious parallels to the Schiavo controversy. Though satirical, the episode's ultimate message was that, whether or not people in such states should be kept on life support, it should be a private matter. Their harshest criticism, in effect, was towards the media.

 

The episode was awarded an Emmy by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
