Interesting hypothesis, but the show has been evolving as the creators age. For example, Randy has been a much more prominent character in recent seasons. They still poke fun at current events, celebrities, and issues though. Recent seasons tend to have more continuity across episodes, too.

    I think continuity is more a result of streaming services being more prominent. That seems to be a media-wide trend. Even kids shows are getting more of it. When you didn't have to rely on the audience running in at a specific time every week to not be lost, you have more flexibility to not resort to the status quo at the end of each episode.
