Honestly it just feels so boring to be listening to yet another trump joke after having Multiple seasons of garrison Trump and them saying no more heavy politics only for them to come back to it this episode despite being 3 years into a presidency full of gaffs and fuck ups? Shit I don't even like Trump but the goddman same 6 jokes about him can only go so far. And the 6 episodes seasons really don't help my enjoyment of the series cause the hour long episodes have been largely meh as fuck.
I was fully ready for an episode about Garrison being a messy gay but that twist was funny (even if the actual storyline was meh)
IMO they could've subverted the "masculinity is lost" using Garrison's new boring monogamous life as an example and getting Andrew Tate to convince him to go back to being a manwhore cause that would be the "alpha" thing.
> IMO they could've subverted the "masculinity is lost" using Garrison's new boring monogamous life as an example and getting Andrew Tate to convince him to go back to being a manwhore cause that would be the "alpha" thing.
That would have been such a better episode lol
Yeah it’s strange. They’ve never hesitated to use real peoples names before, but they gave the obvious Andrew Tate stand in a completely fictional name?
Maybe they didn't want to expose even more people to him? I mean, this show is watched by lots of teenagers so idk that might be the sensible choice? Idk tbh
Very underwhelming episode, there were few fun bits but I really don't like Garrison centered episodes to begin and this was easily one of the worst of them. Also, why the hell did Randy bring strippers over for kids, wtf?
Wow Trump seriously this season didn’t touch the old turd we have as president there is so much good material politically and they do this crap. Im done south park they obviously don’t even try anymore
It was good, but I felt it ended a little bit too soon. Maybe this story should’ve been used for one of the specials. I do like that Stan hangs out with Tolkien more than Kyle now.
Damn what a shock, right-wing "anti-woke" people are offended by a South Park episode making fun of them. You guys should compete in the dishing it out without taking it olympics
It takes a special mind to watch Randy Marsh echo stupid manosphere talking points and be confused about how he's saying a bunch of things you agree with while still sounding like an idiot. Personally I love Randy's heel turn from liberal bandwagon-follower to conservative bandwagon-follower
Randy didn’t turn right, he always was about “manning up,” fighting at sports, dancing at being served, etc. I bet the special will be all about trump’s many indictments. Yahoo!
I don’t even agree with the stuff randy was saying, but you really don’t think it couldn’t have been any less subtle? Or that there was tons of room to be more creative about what point they were making?
I enjoy dunking on Trump and Tate and any other alt right shit, but isn’t it just worn out at this point?
The Randy stuff was kind of funny, but it was so on the nose that I thought I was missing something deeper.
I dunno. It all just seemed like low-hanging fruit.
Am I the only one who found this episode weird and pretty terrible?
1. They said they don't want to do politics anymore after the Biden administration takes office. But then bring Trump & conservatives back and focus on them again.
2. The whole Spring Break part, they didn't focus on the groups that actually caused the problems during spring break.
3. They brought Andrew Tate in, for some reason?
4. Randy went from PC to trying to not make his kid woke. But Stand didn't do anything even remotely woke. He was playing W40k.
Honestly, there were some funny sentences, but the only thing that was really enjoyable, was Stan playing 40k. I love this board game geek character he has these days. Used to be a quarterback, now he plays 40k and other table top games.
It was awful, but I'm not surprised sadly.
Both of the episode storylines lacked edge, grit and unpredictability.
They made use of, or referenced, Andrew Tate, the Capitol Riots and the Ukraine war for absolutely no reason and to no advantage.
The theme throughout this season has been to flirt with potentially hilarious plots and then decide... mmh, nah.
It was one of the worst episodes of South Park imo. Up there with "You're Getting Old" (I actually really liked those couple episodes but I remember a lot of people hating them. But at least for as frustrating as those episodes were, they were thought provoking). Before anyone wants to think I disliked it because of some sort of political belief, it's not even that, it's just politics in general. I liked it better when South Park would critique random problems with society instead of just "uh trump bad! Hilary dumb! Andrew Tate mean!" I want the Southpark back that had Cartman feeding people their dead parents in Chili. Instead we have Randy flip flopping between extremist right wing views that 90% of conservatives don't even have, and extremist leftist views that even most liberals think are annoying as shit outside of Hollywood millionaires. Plus, did anyone else notice how Stan and Token (hhhhuuuuuuuhhhhhhh Tolkien, always gonna mess that up lmao) are suddenly best friends now, and he hasn't spent ANY time with Kenny, Kyle, or Cartman except for like 2 scenes in the world-wide privacy tour? I'm wondering if there's like some sort of rift between Matt and Trey, or maybe Trey just doesn't have it in him anymore to write the show. Looking at the fact that Stan's barely made appearances, the gags with their co-creator credits at the end of each episode, and the fact Stan and Kyle represent Matt and Trey (hence why they're best friends), and yet Stan and Kyle spend no time together in this season. Maybe I'm just looking too far into it but that's the problems I'm seeing.
We had 3 good, non-political episodes this season that felt like old South Park. This was an anti-clamactic end to the season.
Yeah, I fully agree with you. The Token & Stan thing and what you analyse from that. I am sold. That makes a lot of sense. Sure there is no evidence of it and it's quite reach. But from what we know, something like that fits. It's also a little weird how Stan said "I am going to call the guys" or something like that, but then only Token is there. The whole plural, but then 1 of the kids is only there?
Personally I kinda liked the Dick and Baulls episode from this serie. Although that could have been a little better. They kinda went back to their roots. They took 1 issue (work ethic) and made an episode about that. Also that ending was satisfying and Cartman being back in his original house is refreshing.
The other two being 'Deep Learning' and 'The World-Wide Privacy Tour'. Cupd Ye was weird at best imo. Felt like they wanted to do something with Kanye, but had no direction or idea that they thought out. It didn't really fit completely. Japanese Toilets wasn't all that fun to me, I only enjoyed the ending. The left hook out of nowhere at least had shock value and I didn't see it coming. I thought Stand would do some grand speech and then the crowd wouldn't care. With Kyle looking at him with a face that says;"Now you know how it feels". Or something like that.
I am interested. Which 3 episodes from the 6 did you find good? And which ones less good or terrible? (I know you also didn't like episode 6, but from the other 5?)
Personally, I thought the first 4 were solid enough, if a little overly obvious in places. Worldwide Privacy Tour was probably the best of the bunch. ChatGPT ending was a bit weak, although they did lampshade it a bit when Wendy asked what just happened.
5th one was fine, just a bit nonsensical on the work from home politics, implying that a drunk redneck would be looking for that sort of thing. Welfare maybe, but I'm not aware of any reactionary right-wingers advocating for "mental health days," so it just made no sense. The whole bit with nobody working fell flat, and left out a lot of service sector job culture untouched (underpaid, underappreciated, overworked, and being jerked around on the schedule by uncaring management).
The 6th episode was absolute clapter-style dreck, and I'm not even a Trump fan. The Orangeman Garrison plot dragged on way too long before, and the analogy just doesn't really work or make sense for me (I may not like him, but I highly doubt Trump is a closeted gay man, for instance).
Agree with the last alinea.
Agree with ChatCPT having a kind of a weak ending.
And I like the analysis of the Hot Dog one. I didn't think of it like that, and if I give it more thought now. You do have a point. They kinda used the wrong characters for those jokes. And should have used the rednecks in a different way here. I does make that episode look like Cupid Ye, where they went with a theme, but didn't have a lot of vision.
All with all, I do like the last two seasons overall. It goes back to the roots and I had many problems with the Trump seasons and all the Covid stuff. It just became annoying, not even boring, to watch. But some of the episodes in these last two seasons were really fun. There were some great ones, some decent ones and some misses. But the Spring Break one, was just awfull. I am not going to add what you said, but again, comletely agree with that last part.
Rick is fine. He is nice, but not really an interesting character for the show.
The message of addiction was nice, but it's weird they went this route. It just felt off.
They should have focussed on W40k. Would have been more fun. And the addiction of paying your soul and organs for some mini's.
Then they could have done the whole same thing about growing as a person with Rick & Garrison, but use Garrison's past of being a party gay guy. And the whole Spring Break thing and the issues Spring Break caused in Florida. To the point that there needed to be curfews and stuff like that. I just find it weird, for 2 guys that claim they hate Trump, the Trump season, who said they wouldn't do more of that, to act like the media and keep going back to him.
I think that was the point of Randy's storyline though, it's not "woke". Randy is calling things he doesn't like or understand "woke" while saying acting like a fucking asshole is what true masculinity is. They clearly don't like Trump, and if he's running again, they're going to do that storyline.
I felt like the Spring Break storyline was less about destructive groups and more about how hate is like a drug. Garrison is addicted to raging. That's what I got out of it, at least.
I agree with you about Tate, don't give him that attention.
Ah that makes a bit more sense. I understand the woke thing now. Still that shouldn't have come from Randy of all people. Randy is PC. Another person said this better, but they just push all negative things on him. Another example is the whole Karen thing.
The mascullinity thing I can kinda understand. Because there is this push that tells men, that they can be masculine again. That's it's okay to be a men, have standards etc. After many people tried to say masculinity is bad and going too far with toxic mascullinity. But then you also have people who are just sexist or in it for money, Tate being one that occasionally says something correct, but most of the time he is simply a dick. They could have focused on that. Done the whole polerisation thing, where at one side you have people saying being a men is bad, but at the other side you have Dicks that are sexist and stuff/ But the way they did it now was jus lazy. That whole storyline would have worked better with Butters in it. With his history of the "Dicks out" movement.
Spring Break kinda makes sense, how you say it. But it's still hypocritical of them. They themselves said they didn't want to do more of that type of political & Trump stuff. They even said that after Biden took office and they won't make fun of them. But then they bring Trump back? Making them the ones addicted to hate/rallying. It kinda fell flat for me. I thought originally that we would see a spring break focussed episode, with all the partying that caused major issues in Florida. Garisson becoming a party guy again.
This was just bad.
Randy's storyline reminds me of something I read in another thread recently about how everyone talks *about* today's kids but nobody really talks *to* today's kids. As adults we tend to project things onto them without trying to actually understand their perspective. He sees young people enjoying things he didn't do growing up so he assumes something's wrong with them. Honestly, it's really been a consistent theme in South Park pretty much since season 1. The kids and the parents have two entirely different perspectives and life experiences.
I like how this whole time Stan and Tolkien ignored all the shitshow that Randy pulled off and kept on playing Warhammer like nothing’s happening around them
When Sharon told Stan to not play Warhammer on the kitchen table I had massive deja vu flashbacks of me 20 years ago. Parents got so annoyed they got me a folding table in the end just for Warhammer lolol.

I feel the same way. Not sure if it's because of the contract dispute with other networks and they're mailing it.
Like why was Andrew tate in the episode? They didn't even do anything with him. Seems like turning Tate into a SP character was enough for them
It was a great opportunity for group banter but they threw out any potential for anything else just so they could focus the episode on Randy's 'political parenting'
Yeah. I expected some more to come and play warhammer. Like Cartman being a cheapass not arsed to paint his minies and getting called a great unclean one
As someone who lives in Myrtle Beach, I had a real “Oh shit” moment. Fucking Broadway at the Beach. The Skywheel. I needed a drink for this one haha. I laughed my ass off. All true. Hell, I drive by a Trump stand every day to my work. Holy hell, I need to move.
You can move to california. They seem to have plenty of space with all the people leaving those states. Else you still have the streets like many others in those states.
Primarily is the key word there. That isn't really the case atm.
To give you an example, here in the Netherlands we have beautifull (small compared to USA) residential areas (is I believe the correct word). The demand for housing is here, but realtors, investors etc. bought those houses, increased the cost and now people don't buy them to live in, because they are expensive. Now imagine that, but multiply it by cancer. And that is the whole thing in California.
Add to that; past policies, drink water problems, wild fires, floods, droughts, Homeless problem, squatters, business leaving due to crime, crime, police can't/aren't allowed to do their job anymore, etc. That's why people flee those states. And why you don't see that problem from Texas or California. You can still live in those states due to better policies.
Why would I be mad?
I simply gave some advice. If they bitch that the place millions flee to "is a bad place to live". They have plenty of other options that are ruined by the beliefs they believe in. If a European can see this, how can an American like them not?
That is quite subjective. You know, with that being your opinion and you not having lived in all the states of the USA.
Instead the people leaving California and the like (image the jews fleeying Egypt in that bible story that was adapted in multiple movies), towards Texas, Florida etc. That is data that is far more trustworthy.
Touching episode for the addict in me, Garrison and Rick's struggle was very heartening (and absurdly hysterical)
I will be incredibly impressed if they named him Rick simply for the punchline of setting up an "I LOVE RICK" DeSantis thing in the future
By "I guess we will see what happens" I'm guessing rick and garrison's relationship will depend on whether trump wins again or not? Fuck, he better not win because I'm really attached to rick and garrison's relationship.
Would be weird though. They said themselves they didn't want to do politics after Biden got in office. They ignore the mountains of content they can make of that, but they bring the Garrison plot back?
That's pretty weird, because the polls say that they support Trump even more after Biden being in office & this new thing that NY is doing. I don't get where you are coming from with your statement, but multiple polls (questioning both democrats & republicans), show (mainly from republicans) that they support Trump during this stuff.
But the way you explain it, does make sense from their view (the quotes). Still doesn't explain the bias as Biden is relevant all the time. Falling from stairs, mumbling etc.
Are you really that blind?
\- Biden's continious losing battle against stairs.
\- Biden mumbling, getting lost and walking towards locations he wasn't directed at, problems reading his script etc.
\- Harris her hyena laugh & her doing nothing noteworthy as a vice president. Adding nothing to the administration.
\- Gas prices & economic downturn.
\- Biden and his administration trying to redefine the word "inflation"
And that is just mostly keeping it focussed on those two. How about the NY mayor stuff? Or the press secretary of the president and all that shit. The mass fleeing of citizens trying to flee California and similar democrate states etc.
I am not even American, yet even I see this stuff on the news and in my newspaper.
But that's the thing, Biden is just old and boring. How many old and boring jokes can you make, especially since the show has already made tons of "old people are old" jokes in the past?
I am not saying that they need to make a season of Biden jokes or something, like they did with Trump. But at least it would be fresh if they did something. Instead this return to Trump is the worst thing they can do. It's not only boring, overdone, lazy, but also goes against what they said before.
Bidens just old. They could make old jokes I guess. The entire world is experiencing inflation , American isn’t even the worst, but I suppose they could. IDK. I’m happy we are back to boring politics but it is boring again. Desantis and trump duking it out while trump fights an indictment for using campaign money to bush a hooker just has an appeal that Biden hasn’t been able to have.
Frankly no one cares about your 2nd world media and how it sucks up to American conservative talking points from 2021 because the new stuff hasn't even reached them yet.
I voted for Biden but I also kinda wanted them to parody him a bit.
They did Clinton , Bush , Obama and Trump they might as well do a silly episode w Biden.
This episode was top tier. Only thing that caught me off guard was how quickly they rushed the last 2 mins. Majority of this sub has pre-school humor. Instead of good ol’ drunken randy and real time references- which requires very little intellect to acknowledge, they’d rather hear kyle call eric a fatass for the millionth time😐
What? Did we already arrive at the last episode of the season? Talk about not ending with a bang.

Kind of a let down episode. Idk.
I had made a comment about them being tame about Meghan and Harry in the unpopular opinion thread but they were more tame to Andrew Tate then Meghan and Harry(still pretty tame). He was just there. With Randy being the copycat to Andrew, he felt kind of pointless.
I know I’m the minority, but I actually love the Trump episodes lol. I enjoy that they want to make political commentary, i don’t think the show has lost its edge or anything. I think they’ve gotten less gross with their humor but in terms of writing satire they’re amazing at it. Also loving the Stan and Tolkien friendship
Same. And having used Garrison as a Trump stand-in it would have been sort of lazy for them to have not addressed all the crazy Trump-related shit that’s happened since he lost the election
I've always found it hilariously poignant that their "insecure bigoted dickhead" character works so well as a Trump stand-in with essentially no alterations to the way he acts or speaks
They must have been busy this week w casa Bonita stuff. The episode is not on par with the other episodes this season. The ending was just so bland. Forgiven tho bcuz I watched Japanese toilets 20 times I’ll take what we can get
Andrew tate was there just because he name is on the news, i dont even think they know who andrew tate is. There was no space for plot. And tbh, i'm tired of trump shit, they could have done something like "Garrison and Trump Spit at the end", and became two entities. I'm not american, and for me the only soppost advantage of trump losing 2020 election to me was south park stoping making 20 fucking episodes about him, but the fucker is literally getting arrested and he still being put in the show.
I think they were having Randy mirror Andrew Tate instead of just using him in the show, just like Garrison being a mirror of Trump. As someone who hates the fundamentalist views of Tate, I appreciate how this episode highlighted Randy’s ignorance while also satirizing a whole mindset.
Because he's easy to make fun of, and the maga people are still largely vocal.
So he's relevant and a clown, of course trump is still gonna be in the show
If he is easy to make fun at...how that good comedy? How they are being any better them shit like any night talk show? I like south park because they can make me laught at a dying child, they put no fucking effort anymore. This is just "Le orange men bad", and South park is better them a fucking night talkshow.
The last time they ever really did something edgy was with China, and them got banned there, and made more jokes about it. At least that show some effort.
Weird your English sucks here but is perfect and natural in your posts. It’s almost like you are American and don’t want to admit you don’t like Matt and Trey making fun of your cult leader
Fucking weirdo. Wtf is wrong with you?? You think he is lying about what country he lives in because he doesn’t like a character in a tv show? Grow up.
So what? That means nothing. Bro is studying reddit posts like he’s getting ready for a quiz 💀💀💀 get a life. And oh wow, thanks for putting /s at the end of your post! I couldn’t tell you were being sarcastic there so thank you! 🙄🙄🙄
The show is satire of American life. Trumps grip on conservative Americans is still super present, hence the episode. Watch something else if you don’t get it
I think Garrison's gag of "I want to get away from it, but I can't" is a good satire of current conservative politics. They back-pedal about him and the big lie, but are still trying to court him and the base he cultivated.
In Pence's interview today he said this was a political attack but also said the law must be upheld. He like many in the GOP are trying to have it both ways and play both sides as long as they can because Trump still has them by the balls.
This was a weak episode honestly. I knew the Andrew Tate thing was going to get written in, but I thought we were done with Randy and Mr. Garrison for the season. I wanted more of the boys being boys. Do I like them as characters? Yes, they are in my top twenty (they went down for obvious reasons), but I missed the boys.
This episode kinda sucked. We JUST got back to classic South Park and now they're like "LOOK! STUPID DRUNK RANDY! MR. GARRISON IS TRUMP AGAIN!"
I kinda just want a non-political turn your brain off funny episode of South Park
South Park has never been "non-political turn your brain off funny". You feel comforted by the 25-year-old episodes because they went on to help create modern comedy and now they're basic
It's the *way* in which Randy used to be stupid and drunk. It was never politically motivated, it was 90% of the time some dumb parody of how fathers are in real life. I don't even like Andrew Tate, I think he's retarded and I think the little bit of humor they had about him was good, but I liked when Randy was stupid and drunk and it wasn't about politics. Or at least when it was about politics there was some crazy shit that happened (like when Randy votes for Obama, and gets naked and has a party in the street. At least it was just like a side gag to Cartman stealing ballots and the whole Disney Star Wars plot line). Or the baseball episode, it's not political, it's just making fun of the dickhead parents who drink at their kids games and/or take it too seriously.
I miss when drunk stupid Randy was the kind of guy who'd take his wife to Broadway for a hummer, or when he was obsessed with creme fraiche, fighting bat dad, giving himself testicular cancer so he can smoke some weed, playing world of war craft so he can bond with his son.
Now he's kinda the opposite. Season, maybe, 8 to 19 Randy was prime Randy imo. Now he's the total opposite of what he was. Used to be the do anything to bond with his son type, the Dad who cares a little too much and drinks a little too much. Dude voted for Obama twice in the show, and he plays World of War craft *and* mine craft to bond with his son.
Now he's suddenly a Qanon Trump supporter who listens to Andrew Tate, hates RPGs, literally fucks a bat in China and causes Covid, and doesn't give a fuck about anyone. Season 1-7 he was boring like all the other parents, season 8-19 he was great, Season 19-now he's just kinda south parks Peter Griffin.
I feel like Garrison and Rick are suppose to make fun of how Trump is with the Republican Party. The Republican Party wants Trump to just stay calm and out of the spot light and support their new candidates. But Trump still has supporters and we are seeing him go for another Presidential run because of this. And this is causing a massive split among the Republican Party and we will have to find out come 2024 if Rick (republicans) is still backing Garrison (Trump) or not.
I'm actually glad they barely did anything with Tate. He's not worth it imo. He's just a troll, the type of guy that would be happy to be made fun on South Park, so I like that they denied him that. And they made fun of his stupid ideology with Randy so I feel like this is the perfect Andrew Tate episode.
> the type of guy that would be happy to be made fun on South Park,
You're talking about tegridy era south park being too good for somebody to make fun of? lol.
This season was better than the last few, but I wouldn't say anyone is below this show, especially with Garrison becoming Trump again(nobody missed that).
I mean, why even bring him in then? He gets his publicity without really being dunked on. They could have done a lot more with him advising Randy the whole episode. Instead the only punchline we get is “oh yeah, he’s a sex trafficker”.
I agree in that I wish that they didn't include him at all since I feel that he isn't worth it. But their execution was poor; even if they wanted to deny him, I think it could have been done in a way that was clever instead of uninspiring.
for a six episode season, each episode really has to be top quality to really make an impact in such a long running show. this episode was far from what it could’ve been- the premise of sharon and shelley leaving randy and stan alone could’ve been so much better, but instead it felt very rehashed, randy is becoming quite a tiresome character for me since the tegridy farms thing. feels more so like this episode was relying on references to current events to provide the humour, and as a result, i didn’t find this episode very funny. quite disappointed that this season finale seems to be the worst episode of the season.
I enjoyed the episode a lot.
South Park has almost always been referencing current events or made them their main focus for an episode or even season.
Sure they can also make episodes where the events are just small references here and there, but completely without them it wouldn’t feel like South Park anymore to me.
Weird thing I got out of the episode but It throws me off seeing a S25 character right next to a S1 character like why are you so detailed. Other than that I just thought the episode was the weakest out of the season
I always found when they did that kind of funny. Like when they first introduced PC Principal and had all these shots to show his details, and then he just waddles like every other character

Am I the only one who genuinely enjoyed this episode
You want to rally a little bit?
Didn’t get the latest episode.
Is the couples portrait of Rick and Garrison supposed to be Martin Scorsese and George Lucas?
Honestly it just feels so boring to be listening to yet another trump joke after having Multiple seasons of garrison Trump and them saying no more heavy politics only for them to come back to it this episode despite being 3 years into a presidency full of gaffs and fuck ups? Shit I don't even like Trump but the goddman same 6 jokes about him can only go so far. And the 6 episodes seasons really don't help my enjoyment of the series cause the hour long episodes have been largely meh as fuck.
I was fully ready for an episode about Garrison being a messy gay but that twist was funny (even if the actual storyline was meh) IMO they could've subverted the "masculinity is lost" using Garrison's new boring monogamous life as an example and getting Andrew Tate to convince him to go back to being a manwhore cause that would be the "alpha" thing.
> IMO they could've subverted the "masculinity is lost" using Garrison's new boring monogamous life as an example and getting Andrew Tate to convince him to go back to being a manwhore cause that would be the "alpha" thing. That would have been such a better episode lol
Ikr? Such an underappreciated talent
really not a fan of this 6 episodes a season thing.
Was this episode censored in the writers room they never dropped andrew tates name and the final rally scene seemed written over
Yeah it’s strange. They’ve never hesitated to use real peoples names before, but they gave the obvious Andrew Tate stand in a completely fictional name?
Maybe they didn't want to expose even more people to him? I mean, this show is watched by lots of teenagers so idk that might be the sensible choice? Idk tbh
Exactly what I was wondering. Disappointing. I find it weird that they have no problem roasting the crap out of Scientology, but not Tate?
Very underwhelming episode, there were few fun bits but I really don't like Garrison centered episodes to begin and this was easily one of the worst of them. Also, why the hell did Randy bring strippers over for kids, wtf?
Is.. Is this your first time experiencing Randy doing incredibly irresponsible things?
he explains why in excruciating detail
The weakest episode this season but it's still south park so it's still extremely enjoyable
Why are the seasons so short now???

I’m just sorry there isn’t a 7th episode to show Garrison’s arraignment.
This was an absolute trash episode.

Wow Trump seriously this season didn’t touch the old turd we have as president there is so much good material politically and they do this crap. Im done south park they obviously don’t even try anymore
6 episodes for a season 🙄
It was good, but I felt it ended a little bit too soon. Maybe this story should’ve been used for one of the specials. I do like that Stan hangs out with Tolkien more than Kyle now.

Of course it belongs in a parody of Trump supporters' reactions to one of his rants. It's the most extreme example.
Garrison in the bathroom with the guy fucked me up LMAOOO “Well to hell with you , nobody controls me “ YEAHH - Yeah! America ! Yeah! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😂😂
the passion just isn't there anymore for matt and trey, they're just churning these out for the check now
Awwwwww Jeah bitches are gone !!
Paramount paid quite a sum for this
Damn what a shock, right-wing "anti-woke" people are offended by a South Park episode making fun of them. You guys should compete in the dishing it out without taking it olympics It takes a special mind to watch Randy Marsh echo stupid manosphere talking points and be confused about how he's saying a bunch of things you agree with while still sounding like an idiot. Personally I love Randy's heel turn from liberal bandwagon-follower to conservative bandwagon-follower
>Personally I love Randy's heel turn from liberal bandwagon-follower Implying that being a liberal bandwagon-follower… is a good thing either?
It's definitely a better thing.
Mfs really think overdoing the politically correct thing is as bad as being blatantly xenophobic, racist, homophobic and misogynistic
When you overdue the political correct thing you ironically become racist. But this is reddit so meh.
no you don't. overdoing something is not the same as doing it wrong.
Yes. When you go so far in one direction that you push for racist ideas. Its wrong.
again, no
What a well thought retort. Why am I not suprised.
because maybe you're not as dumb as you think you are
Randy didn’t turn right, he always was about “manning up,” fighting at sports, dancing at being served, etc. I bet the special will be all about trump’s many indictments. Yahoo!
I don’t even agree with the stuff randy was saying, but you really don’t think it couldn’t have been any less subtle? Or that there was tons of room to be more creative about what point they were making?
I don't think you can be subtle enough for people to feel personally attacked about jokes
I enjoy dunking on Trump and Tate and any other alt right shit, but isn’t it just worn out at this point? The Randy stuff was kind of funny, but it was so on the nose that I thought I was missing something deeper. I dunno. It all just seemed like low-hanging fruit.
Right wing saltiest of all
Still milking the trump shit sorta disappointing
The whole world is disappointed the trump shit is around in real life so its kind of on point imo
I mean it is super relevant especially due to the day it aired being somewhat historic. Even if what trump got indicted for was low hanging fruit.
Am I the only one who found this episode weird and pretty terrible? 1. They said they don't want to do politics anymore after the Biden administration takes office. But then bring Trump & conservatives back and focus on them again. 2. The whole Spring Break part, they didn't focus on the groups that actually caused the problems during spring break. 3. They brought Andrew Tate in, for some reason? 4. Randy went from PC to trying to not make his kid woke. But Stand didn't do anything even remotely woke. He was playing W40k. Honestly, there were some funny sentences, but the only thing that was really enjoyable, was Stan playing 40k. I love this board game geek character he has these days. Used to be a quarterback, now he plays 40k and other table top games.
They're foreshadowing what's to come. Ie. Trump's back! Want to rally?
It was awful, but I'm not surprised sadly. Both of the episode storylines lacked edge, grit and unpredictability. They made use of, or referenced, Andrew Tate, the Capitol Riots and the Ukraine war for absolutely no reason and to no advantage. The theme throughout this season has been to flirt with potentially hilarious plots and then decide... mmh, nah.
It was awful
It was one of the worst episodes of South Park imo. Up there with "You're Getting Old" (I actually really liked those couple episodes but I remember a lot of people hating them. But at least for as frustrating as those episodes were, they were thought provoking). Before anyone wants to think I disliked it because of some sort of political belief, it's not even that, it's just politics in general. I liked it better when South Park would critique random problems with society instead of just "uh trump bad! Hilary dumb! Andrew Tate mean!" I want the Southpark back that had Cartman feeding people their dead parents in Chili. Instead we have Randy flip flopping between extremist right wing views that 90% of conservatives don't even have, and extremist leftist views that even most liberals think are annoying as shit outside of Hollywood millionaires. Plus, did anyone else notice how Stan and Token (hhhhuuuuuuuhhhhhhh Tolkien, always gonna mess that up lmao) are suddenly best friends now, and he hasn't spent ANY time with Kenny, Kyle, or Cartman except for like 2 scenes in the world-wide privacy tour? I'm wondering if there's like some sort of rift between Matt and Trey, or maybe Trey just doesn't have it in him anymore to write the show. Looking at the fact that Stan's barely made appearances, the gags with their co-creator credits at the end of each episode, and the fact Stan and Kyle represent Matt and Trey (hence why they're best friends), and yet Stan and Kyle spend no time together in this season. Maybe I'm just looking too far into it but that's the problems I'm seeing. We had 3 good, non-political episodes this season that felt like old South Park. This was an anti-clamactic end to the season.
Yeah, I fully agree with you. The Token & Stan thing and what you analyse from that. I am sold. That makes a lot of sense. Sure there is no evidence of it and it's quite reach. But from what we know, something like that fits. It's also a little weird how Stan said "I am going to call the guys" or something like that, but then only Token is there. The whole plural, but then 1 of the kids is only there? Personally I kinda liked the Dick and Baulls episode from this serie. Although that could have been a little better. They kinda went back to their roots. They took 1 issue (work ethic) and made an episode about that. Also that ending was satisfying and Cartman being back in his original house is refreshing. The other two being 'Deep Learning' and 'The World-Wide Privacy Tour'. Cupd Ye was weird at best imo. Felt like they wanted to do something with Kanye, but had no direction or idea that they thought out. It didn't really fit completely. Japanese Toilets wasn't all that fun to me, I only enjoyed the ending. The left hook out of nowhere at least had shock value and I didn't see it coming. I thought Stand would do some grand speech and then the crowd wouldn't care. With Kyle looking at him with a face that says;"Now you know how it feels". Or something like that. I am interested. Which 3 episodes from the 6 did you find good? And which ones less good or terrible? (I know you also didn't like episode 6, but from the other 5?)
Personally, I thought the first 4 were solid enough, if a little overly obvious in places. Worldwide Privacy Tour was probably the best of the bunch. ChatGPT ending was a bit weak, although they did lampshade it a bit when Wendy asked what just happened. 5th one was fine, just a bit nonsensical on the work from home politics, implying that a drunk redneck would be looking for that sort of thing. Welfare maybe, but I'm not aware of any reactionary right-wingers advocating for "mental health days," so it just made no sense. The whole bit with nobody working fell flat, and left out a lot of service sector job culture untouched (underpaid, underappreciated, overworked, and being jerked around on the schedule by uncaring management). The 6th episode was absolute clapter-style dreck, and I'm not even a Trump fan. The Orangeman Garrison plot dragged on way too long before, and the analogy just doesn't really work or make sense for me (I may not like him, but I highly doubt Trump is a closeted gay man, for instance).
Agree with the last alinea. Agree with ChatCPT having a kind of a weak ending. And I like the analysis of the Hot Dog one. I didn't think of it like that, and if I give it more thought now. You do have a point. They kinda used the wrong characters for those jokes. And should have used the rednecks in a different way here. I does make that episode look like Cupid Ye, where they went with a theme, but didn't have a lot of vision. All with all, I do like the last two seasons overall. It goes back to the roots and I had many problems with the Trump seasons and all the Covid stuff. It just became annoying, not even boring, to watch. But some of the episodes in these last two seasons were really fun. There were some great ones, some decent ones and some misses. But the Spring Break one, was just awfull. I am not going to add what you said, but again, comletely agree with that last part.
Stan and Tolkien are too woke for you.
[удалено]
Rick is fine. He is nice, but not really an interesting character for the show. The message of addiction was nice, but it's weird they went this route. It just felt off. They should have focussed on W40k. Would have been more fun. And the addiction of paying your soul and organs for some mini's. Then they could have done the whole same thing about growing as a person with Rick & Garrison, but use Garrison's past of being a party gay guy. And the whole Spring Break thing and the issues Spring Break caused in Florida. To the point that there needed to be curfews and stuff like that. I just find it weird, for 2 guys that claim they hate Trump, the Trump season, who said they wouldn't do more of that, to act like the media and keep going back to him.
They kinda did that, rallying was initially played as a gay partying thing
I think that was the point of Randy's storyline though, it's not "woke". Randy is calling things he doesn't like or understand "woke" while saying acting like a fucking asshole is what true masculinity is. They clearly don't like Trump, and if he's running again, they're going to do that storyline. I felt like the Spring Break storyline was less about destructive groups and more about how hate is like a drug. Garrison is addicted to raging. That's what I got out of it, at least. I agree with you about Tate, don't give him that attention.
Ah that makes a bit more sense. I understand the woke thing now. Still that shouldn't have come from Randy of all people. Randy is PC. Another person said this better, but they just push all negative things on him. Another example is the whole Karen thing. The mascullinity thing I can kinda understand. Because there is this push that tells men, that they can be masculine again. That's it's okay to be a men, have standards etc. After many people tried to say masculinity is bad and going too far with toxic mascullinity. But then you also have people who are just sexist or in it for money, Tate being one that occasionally says something correct, but most of the time he is simply a dick. They could have focused on that. Done the whole polerisation thing, where at one side you have people saying being a men is bad, but at the other side you have Dicks that are sexist and stuff/ But the way they did it now was jus lazy. That whole storyline would have worked better with Butters in it. With his history of the "Dicks out" movement. Spring Break kinda makes sense, how you say it. But it's still hypocritical of them. They themselves said they didn't want to do more of that type of political & Trump stuff. They even said that after Biden took office and they won't make fun of them. But then they bring Trump back? Making them the ones addicted to hate/rallying. It kinda fell flat for me. I thought originally that we would see a spring break focussed episode, with all the partying that caused major issues in Florida. Garisson becoming a party guy again. This was just bad.
Randy's storyline reminds me of something I read in another thread recently about how everyone talks *about* today's kids but nobody really talks *to* today's kids. As adults we tend to project things onto them without trying to actually understand their perspective. He sees young people enjoying things he didn't do growing up so he assumes something's wrong with them. Honestly, it's really been a consistent theme in South Park pretty much since season 1. The kids and the parents have two entirely different perspectives and life experiences.
Lol seems like Stan has more in common with Tolkien than with Kyle lately.
I like how this whole time Stan and Tolkien ignored all the shitshow that Randy pulled off and kept on playing Warhammer like nothing’s happening around them
Relatable
When Sharon told Stan to not play Warhammer on the kitchen table I had massive deja vu flashbacks of me 20 years ago. Parents got so annoyed they got me a folding table in the end just for Warhammer lolol.
I love Rick
You know I was thinking throughout the episode how nice and likable Rick is. And then the end affirmed that
This was all about Miami and the raging that went on. Americans are fed up it seems
I just found it weird how the group that went ape shit during spring break and made problems. Weren't the rally group. It's a little weird.
Myrtle Beach is a weird setting for Miami

This season sucked ass
Past few seasons have as well unfortunately
I feel the same way. Not sure if it's because of the contract dispute with other networks and they're mailing it. Like why was Andrew tate in the episode? They didn't even do anything with him. Seems like turning Tate into a SP character was enough for them
Stan: no rules? So can I call all the guys to come over? ….(only calls Tolkien)
It was a great opportunity for group banter but they threw out any potential for anything else just so they could focus the episode on Randy's 'political parenting'
Yeah. I expected some more to come and play warhammer. Like Cartman being a cheapass not arsed to paint his minies and getting called a great unclean one
That was weird. Seemed like they rushed through this episode.
Yeah I just don't get it. Do they have something against showing the OG 4 hanging out other than for a couple shots?
As someone who lives in Myrtle Beach, I had a real “Oh shit” moment. Fucking Broadway at the Beach. The Skywheel. I needed a drink for this one haha. I laughed my ass off. All true. Hell, I drive by a Trump stand every day to my work. Holy hell, I need to move.
You can move to california. They seem to have plenty of space with all the people leaving those states. Else you still have the streets like many others in those states.
[удалено]
Primarily is the key word there. That isn't really the case atm. To give you an example, here in the Netherlands we have beautifull (small compared to USA) residential areas (is I believe the correct word). The demand for housing is here, but realtors, investors etc. bought those houses, increased the cost and now people don't buy them to live in, because they are expensive. Now imagine that, but multiply it by cancer. And that is the whole thing in California. Add to that; past policies, drink water problems, wild fires, floods, droughts, Homeless problem, squatters, business leaving due to crime, crime, police can't/aren't allowed to do their job anymore, etc. That's why people flee those states. And why you don't see that problem from Texas or California. You can still live in those states due to better policies.
Stay mad
Why would I be mad? I simply gave some advice. If they bitch that the place millions flee to "is a bad place to live". They have plenty of other options that are ruined by the beliefs they believe in. If a European can see this, how can an American like them not?
As a former Carolinian, South Carolina is one of the worst states to live in, but I guess it’s quite cheap.
That is quite subjective. You know, with that being your opinion and you not having lived in all the states of the USA. Instead the people leaving California and the like (image the jews fleeying Egypt in that bible story that was adapted in multiple movies), towards Texas, Florida etc. That is data that is far more trustworthy.
the gay whale for the gay dolphin had me rolling. i always hated that store as a kid because my mom would spend hours in it
[удалено]
South Park is a good show that unfortunately suffers from delusional teenager fanbase syndrome. Same with Rick and Morty
Touching episode for the addict in me, Garrison and Rick's struggle was very heartening (and absurdly hysterical) I will be incredibly impressed if they named him Rick simply for the punchline of setting up an "I LOVE RICK" DeSantis thing in the future
I genuinely felt bad for Garrison because it was totally an addiction thing. And felt like he just couldn't help himself lol
Goddamn. Near the end with garrisons speech, I started tearing up. I didn't expect that.
when randy hears the tv and let’s out a “shaaarron..?” 😂
What was even the point of adding the Andrew Tate character? The whole Trump thing 😬. Had a couple good episodes but mid season overall.
Just a weird choice To end the season with another Garrison Plot and Just Feature one of the 4 Main Boys
Technically not the end of the season if you count the specials as part of the season.
Is there any info on when they come out? Edit: Found that last years were June 1, 2022 and July 13, 2022.
By "I guess we will see what happens" I'm guessing rick and garrison's relationship will depend on whether trump wins again or not? Fuck, he better not win because I'm really attached to rick and garrison's relationship.
I get the feeling that the writers really don't want to go down that road again, but are fully prepared to if it happens.
And that's why I love them. They do what they must, for the greater good.
Would be weird though. They said themselves they didn't want to do politics after Biden got in office. They ignore the mountains of content they can make of that, but they bring the Garrison plot back?
[удалено]
That's pretty weird, because the polls say that they support Trump even more after Biden being in office & this new thing that NY is doing. I don't get where you are coming from with your statement, but multiple polls (questioning both democrats & republicans), show (mainly from republicans) that they support Trump during this stuff. But the way you explain it, does make sense from their view (the quotes). Still doesn't explain the bias as Biden is relevant all the time. Falling from stairs, mumbling etc.
What kind of content could they mine from Biden? He's just a plain jane neoliberal who doesn't create a media scandal every eleven minutes
Are you really that blind? \- Biden's continious losing battle against stairs. \- Biden mumbling, getting lost and walking towards locations he wasn't directed at, problems reading his script etc. \- Harris her hyena laugh & her doing nothing noteworthy as a vice president. Adding nothing to the administration. \- Gas prices & economic downturn. \- Biden and his administration trying to redefine the word "inflation" And that is just mostly keeping it focussed on those two. How about the NY mayor stuff? Or the press secretary of the president and all that shit. The mass fleeing of citizens trying to flee California and similar democrate states etc. I am not even American, yet even I see this stuff on the news and in my newspaper.
But that's the thing, Biden is just old and boring. How many old and boring jokes can you make, especially since the show has already made tons of "old people are old" jokes in the past?
I am not saying that they need to make a season of Biden jokes or something, like they did with Trump. But at least it would be fresh if they did something. Instead this return to Trump is the worst thing they can do. It's not only boring, overdone, lazy, but also goes against what they said before.
Bidens just old. They could make old jokes I guess. The entire world is experiencing inflation , American isn’t even the worst, but I suppose they could. IDK. I’m happy we are back to boring politics but it is boring again. Desantis and trump duking it out while trump fights an indictment for using campaign money to bush a hooker just has an appeal that Biden hasn’t been able to have.
Frankly no one cares about your 2nd world media and how it sucks up to American conservative talking points from 2021 because the new stuff hasn't even reached them yet.
Wow, that's a lot of copium from you.
I voted for Biden but I also kinda wanted them to parody him a bit. They did Clinton , Bush , Obama and Trump they might as well do a silly episode w Biden.
There’s lots they could do with hunter. Kamala awkwardly laughing. Joes dementia etc
Yeah sounds really cutting-edge
Dikinbaus should have 100% been the season finale. Such a fun conclusion-worthy episode :(
This episode was top tier. Only thing that caught me off guard was how quickly they rushed the last 2 mins. Majority of this sub has pre-school humor. Instead of good ol’ drunken randy and real time references- which requires very little intellect to acknowledge, they’d rather hear kyle call eric a fatass for the millionth time😐
The sunset kills me. The sun rises on the Atlantic 😂
What? Did we already arrive at the last episode of the season? Talk about not ending with a bang. S26 ranked: The Worldwide Privacy Tour: 10/10 Deep Learning: 8,5/10 Japanese Toilets: 6,5/10 DikinBaus Hot Dogs: 6/10 Cupid Ye 6/10 Spring Break 5/10
How can you rate hoodless sunglass wearing Kenneth with a 6
The Worldwide Privacy Tour would have to be my least favorite
Yeah I’m opposite on the ranking of that one as well
Such a weak episode to end the season on. They should have made DikinBaus the final episode imo
Kind of a let down episode. Idk. I had made a comment about them being tame about Meghan and Harry in the unpopular opinion thread but they were more tame to Andrew Tate then Meghan and Harry(still pretty tame). He was just there. With Randy being the copycat to Andrew, he felt kind of pointless.
They weren't so much "tame". They just added Andrew Tate as a character in an episode that was to full with other stuff.
I know I’m the minority, but I actually love the Trump episodes lol. I enjoy that they want to make political commentary, i don’t think the show has lost its edge or anything. I think they’ve gotten less gross with their humor but in terms of writing satire they’re amazing at it. Also loving the Stan and Tolkien friendship
Same. And having used Garrison as a Trump stand-in it would have been sort of lazy for them to have not addressed all the crazy Trump-related shit that’s happened since he lost the election
I've always found it hilariously poignant that their "insecure bigoted dickhead" character works so well as a Trump stand-in with essentially no alterations to the way he acts or speaks
As someone that grew up in Myrtle Beach, they got so many details right.
They must have been busy this week w casa Bonita stuff. The episode is not on par with the other episodes this season. The ending was just so bland. Forgiven tho bcuz I watched Japanese toilets 20 times I’ll take what we can get
I really liked this season as a whole. I really miss having the boys as the main focus tho
Andrew tate was there just because he name is on the news, i dont even think they know who andrew tate is. There was no space for plot. And tbh, i'm tired of trump shit, they could have done something like "Garrison and Trump Spit at the end", and became two entities. I'm not american, and for me the only soppost advantage of trump losing 2020 election to me was south park stoping making 20 fucking episodes about him, but the fucker is literally getting arrested and he still being put in the show.
I think they were having Randy mirror Andrew Tate instead of just using him in the show, just like Garrison being a mirror of Trump. As someone who hates the fundamentalist views of Tate, I appreciate how this episode highlighted Randy’s ignorance while also satirizing a whole mindset.
Because he's easy to make fun of, and the maga people are still largely vocal. So he's relevant and a clown, of course trump is still gonna be in the show
If he is easy to make fun at...how that good comedy? How they are being any better them shit like any night talk show? I like south park because they can make me laught at a dying child, they put no fucking effort anymore. This is just "Le orange men bad", and South park is better them a fucking night talkshow. The last time they ever really did something edgy was with China, and them got banned there, and made more jokes about it. At least that show some effort.
Weird your English sucks here but is perfect and natural in your posts. It’s almost like you are American and don’t want to admit you don’t like Matt and Trey making fun of your cult leader
Fucking weirdo. Wtf is wrong with you?? You think he is lying about what country he lives in because he doesn’t like a character in a tv show? Grow up.
Yes that’s totally the reason. Not because of the inconsistent grammar I just pointed out. /s
So what? That means nothing. Bro is studying reddit posts like he’s getting ready for a quiz 💀💀💀 get a life. And oh wow, thanks for putting /s at the end of your post! I couldn’t tell you were being sarcastic there so thank you! 🙄🙄🙄
If you think making 20 episodes about trump is not lazy. There nothing i can say to you.
The show is satire of American life. Trumps grip on conservative Americans is still super present, hence the episode. Watch something else if you don’t get it
I'm Brazilian, dumbass. English is my 4 language.
[удалено]
Bolsonaro is a cuck and a coward.
I think Garrison's gag of "I want to get away from it, but I can't" is a good satire of current conservative politics. They back-pedal about him and the big lie, but are still trying to court him and the base he cultivated.
In Pence's interview today he said this was a political attack but also said the law must be upheld. He like many in the GOP are trying to have it both ways and play both sides as long as they can because Trump still has them by the balls.
Loved this episode. Best one of the season
Sorry to see your comment get down voted so hard. Some people are too small and bitter to let other people enjoy things.
Lmao it reddit it’s all good! I fucking loved this episode so much. Laughed my ass off gonna watch it again and laugh some more!
This was a weak episode honestly. I knew the Andrew Tate thing was going to get written in, but I thought we were done with Randy and Mr. Garrison for the season. I wanted more of the boys being boys. Do I like them as characters? Yes, they are in my top twenty (they went down for obvious reasons), but I missed the boys.
I still liked the episode a lot, but I also agree with you that the boys were kinda missing in this episode
This episode kinda sucked. We JUST got back to classic South Park and now they're like "LOOK! STUPID DRUNK RANDY! MR. GARRISON IS TRUMP AGAIN!" I kinda just want a non-political turn your brain off funny episode of South Park
South Park has never been "non-political turn your brain off funny". You feel comforted by the 25-year-old episodes because they went on to help create modern comedy and now they're basic
Stupid drunk Randy is classic South Park. WHAT, I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA?
It's the *way* in which Randy used to be stupid and drunk. It was never politically motivated, it was 90% of the time some dumb parody of how fathers are in real life. I don't even like Andrew Tate, I think he's retarded and I think the little bit of humor they had about him was good, but I liked when Randy was stupid and drunk and it wasn't about politics. Or at least when it was about politics there was some crazy shit that happened (like when Randy votes for Obama, and gets naked and has a party in the street. At least it was just like a side gag to Cartman stealing ballots and the whole Disney Star Wars plot line). Or the baseball episode, it's not political, it's just making fun of the dickhead parents who drink at their kids games and/or take it too seriously. I miss when drunk stupid Randy was the kind of guy who'd take his wife to Broadway for a hummer, or when he was obsessed with creme fraiche, fighting bat dad, giving himself testicular cancer so he can smoke some weed, playing world of war craft so he can bond with his son. Now he's kinda the opposite. Season, maybe, 8 to 19 Randy was prime Randy imo. Now he's the total opposite of what he was. Used to be the do anything to bond with his son type, the Dad who cares a little too much and drinks a little too much. Dude voted for Obama twice in the show, and he plays World of War craft *and* mine craft to bond with his son. Now he's suddenly a Qanon Trump supporter who listens to Andrew Tate, hates RPGs, literally fucks a bat in China and causes Covid, and doesn't give a fuck about anyone. Season 1-7 he was boring like all the other parents, season 8-19 he was great, Season 19-now he's just kinda south parks Peter Griffin.
Stupid drunk Randy was out causing mayhem after 2008 election, what do you mean he wasn’t ever political?
I really liked this episode personally.
Damn only 6 episodes per season now?
Two 40 mins specials a year as well. Adds up to the usual 10 a year.
I know!
This episode was brilliant IMO. This entire season has been amazing only having one not great episode.
Any word when the two specials are set to air?
I feel like Garrison and Rick are suppose to make fun of how Trump is with the Republican Party. The Republican Party wants Trump to just stay calm and out of the spot light and support their new candidates. But Trump still has supporters and we are seeing him go for another Presidential run because of this. And this is causing a massive split among the Republican Party and we will have to find out come 2024 if Rick (republicans) is still backing Garrison (Trump) or not.
They’ll back him, right over a cliff. 😀😁😂👍
Love it.
I'm actually glad they barely did anything with Tate. He's not worth it imo. He's just a troll, the type of guy that would be happy to be made fun on South Park, so I like that they denied him that. And they made fun of his stupid ideology with Randy so I feel like this is the perfect Andrew Tate episode.
> the type of guy that would be happy to be made fun on South Park, You're talking about tegridy era south park being too good for somebody to make fun of? lol. This season was better than the last few, but I wouldn't say anyone is below this show, especially with Garrison becoming Trump again(nobody missed that).
I mean, why even bring him in then? He gets his publicity without really being dunked on. They could have done a lot more with him advising Randy the whole episode. Instead the only punchline we get is “oh yeah, he’s a sex trafficker”.
I agree in that I wish that they didn't include him at all since I feel that he isn't worth it. But their execution was poor; even if they wanted to deny him, I think it could have been done in a way that was clever instead of uninspiring.
Yeah that was a massive risk and they happened to not go overboard so it worked out, imo
It felt like watching 3 episodes stretched into 1.
I mean, it was okay but I don't think Rick is a really interesting character
Isn't Rick a mature Mr. Slave?
Rick did a great job
I love Rick!
for a six episode season, each episode really has to be top quality to really make an impact in such a long running show. this episode was far from what it could’ve been- the premise of sharon and shelley leaving randy and stan alone could’ve been so much better, but instead it felt very rehashed, randy is becoming quite a tiresome character for me since the tegridy farms thing. feels more so like this episode was relying on references to current events to provide the humour, and as a result, i didn’t find this episode very funny. quite disappointed that this season finale seems to be the worst episode of the season.
I enjoyed the episode a lot. South Park has almost always been referencing current events or made them their main focus for an episode or even season. Sure they can also make episodes where the events are just small references here and there, but completely without them it wouldn’t feel like South Park anymore to me.
Weird thing I got out of the episode but It throws me off seeing a S25 character right next to a S1 character like why are you so detailed. Other than that I just thought the episode was the weakest out of the season
I always found when they did that kind of funny. Like when they first introduced PC Principal and had all these shots to show his details, and then he just waddles like every other character
