It needs its own thread. Tonight's episode was top notch, and last week's was pretty good too. This season could be one of the best if they keep this going.
Oh come on. Why the merge? A new season requires a new thread. Plus there's another thread about a single episode from season 19. But my thread gets merged?
How? Matt and Trey's show centers around social commentary but has completely avoided the last 7 years of the disaster known as the Obama White House. Now they devote entire plot lines to piss on the leading conservative candidate? **** them. Jon ****ing Stewart may as well of written last night's garbage.
South Park rarely covers politicians, except in election year. They did a whole two parter for McCain and Obama. What South Park does do is make fun of people. And people currently support Trump (and Clinton has been done), therefore, make fun of Trump. And it worked, because it got your panties in a bunch.
They didn't really make fun of Obama or McCain, though. They really only made fun of the people that acted like the election going one way or the other held the fate of the world in the balance.
This one was better than episode 1. I give it a solid B+. It was worth ti just to hear Mr. Garrison say "gaping gash".
Stop providing context that refutes his point. Outside of Garrison's badass song, last nights episode was weak
How does this refute my point? I said they generally only talk about politicians during election years, and did a two parter on Obama and McCain. Which was an election year. Which lends support to my statement. The next one is important: "What South Park does do is make fun of people." "Make fun of people." "Of people." Now. Read kpt's statement: "They really only made fun of people." "Made fun of people. "Of people." I broke it down for you. Did that help?
Watching it again and have no idea how anyone can call this episode weak. Mr. Garrison ****ed a Canadian Donald Trump to death. Epic.
Not epic. Above average. I don't wanna be one of those people who get onto a South Park thread just to post "South Park isn't as good as it used. Parker is losing his touch. Blah blah blah", because It's still my favorite show on television, and I'm still gonna watch it every single week. But if I had to voice one criticism of the very recent south park episodes (like just this year and last year), it's that they're getting less subtle -- or some might argue, clever -- in the way they take stuff on. I think they almost feel compelled to tackle certain issues because they feel that's what's expected of the show, rather than it being simply a necessity when you're running on a 6 day schedule (as I suspect the phenomenon initially came to be). And my criticism of this past week's episode is along those lines. It was definitely funny, and the "Garrison deathraping Donald Trump part was certainly classic as an isolated scene", but the episode as a whole felt a bit forced.
Also along those lines, I think the completely random episodes are refreshing and generally very good. Creme Fraiche (this was like five years ago, but it's a great example of a completely random episodes that hits on zero hot topics) **** Magic Informative Murder Porn (arguably) Faith Hilling (not arguably great, but I suppose it's arguable whether "meme'ing" counts as a topic of the day)
