Yep, the point was "we don't give a shit about award shows"
or "here is the show you just gave an award to!! making a 30 minute poop joke!"
then they upped the ante
"who can we find that actually covets these awards?"
"Britney Spears blah blah etc. been done.. how about we get the sacred cow?"
So they combined the two and it worked, IMO.
They respect the guy, I'd bet, given their vast 80's knowledge I'd even bet they have U2 records but nobody deserves a lashing more than a guy who gets on stage and proclaims himself in the best band in the world after receving a meaningless award.
He was the perfect choice, really. It would have been easier to make fun of almost anyone else, they took on the media darling.
South Park gets better because the writing is getting more subversive, with layers.
It used to be the poop joke and nothing but the poop joke. Lately, they've left that up to Family Guy and have tried to take it to the next level. It doesn't always work but when it does, it's fucking money in the bank.
