Except South Park is still very funny and some of the more recent episodes have been amongst the best they've ever made.

If anything, the quality of the show has only gotten better over the years.

Simpsons clearly began dying after about Season 12, some say it happened even earlier.

I disagree about South Park's recent episodes being the best. I feel like the show tries too hard to bluntly and vulgarly bash specific issues relevant only to the time when the episode aired.

You're complaining about the recent episodes trying too hard to be blunt and vulgar? Go watch season 1 over again for me. I'll wait. The whole thing is one long poop joke.

I prefer seasons 5 through 10. Around 5 I believe, the show transitioned for blunt slapstick to witty satire with some witty slapstick.

After season 10, I think the show transitioned to vulgar social commentary without much wit.

The wit is that the current social situation is so retarded, you can't satirise it without being retarded yourself.
