Question Which season trailer featured a live-action family that parodied wholesome advertising while everyone was watching South Park?

I feel like it was pre-covid and I swear I saw these commercials on TV advertising the upcoming season of South Park. It had like a dad smiling at his kids while they watched South Park and it felt like a shot-for-shot parody of cliché, corny feelgood TV commercials.

Season 20 did something like that where it showed a kid growing up and watching the show with her family the whole time

There were some live action ads about Cherokee hair tampons that featured a mother and daughter bonding over menstrual issues. It had a wholesome feel to it. Season 4, ep 6 Then there was the flashback episode with the shop teacher remembering the love of his life. “Swing me higher Richard! Higher!” Season 3, ep 5 And of course the episode where they were trying to ween the kids off chinpokomon with alternative toy commercials. Season 3, ep 11

Not especially wholesome, but there were also live-action versions of the boys in the ziplining episode.
