It just feels incredibly stupid. Oh no, they are off Twitter. So what? It just mimics real life instead of feeling funny. They do this so much with new episodes where they take something in real life and just paste it in without making it funny or clever.
In the older episodes, at least one character like Stan would see how stupid this is, but in this one, everyone treats it like a big deal. It just doesnt seem funny at all, and it's all so incredibly outdated.
The member berries thing is totally dumb too. I just dont get all that.
Trey and Matt:SO NEXT WEEK WE'LL HAVE A POKEMON GO EPISODE AND AFTER THAT WE'LL HAVE A KANYE AND KIM EPISODE OH, AND AFTER THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT BRAD AND ANGELINA AND AFTER THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW PEOPLE USE CELL PHONES TOO MUCH AND AFTER THAT-
Motherfuck this show seriously and anyone who enables it.
Charles Long
And then we'll have Randy do something zany XD
Jeremiah Myers
I dunno. Last season was pretty funny the way they handled it but it feels like they're just doing last season again now and the serialization is getting a bit tired honestly. All they do it make fun of contemporary things now which is gonna make for pretty much no timeless episodes.
Christopher Nguyen
Let me guess, for the pokemon go episode randy becomes obsessed and blah blah blah
Brody Campbell
South Park is zombie tier now.
Seems like they're investing more effort into the games. Which would be fine if half the jokes in the games weren't references to the TV show.
Hudson Ramirez
OP, are you not familiar with the concept of satire? Being flat out hilarious is not the main purpose
Christian Flores
>It just feels incredibly stupid
because twitter culture and online bullying are stupid topics. unfortunately that's all they have since they're too lazy to do something episodic
John Nelson
>incredibly outdated. Not really, and South Park always did things that were outdated in a year at best. Yes including the 1st seasons.
Michael Johnson
New season is just a big warning against Jews who are stirring up shit while most people never suspect them.
Member berries are just pure unfunny.
Matthew Nguyen
>references to the TV show.
and references that all come from the first six seasons when the show was good and had a unique personality to it.
James Parker
>It just mimics real life
That's what parody means, dumdum.
Anyway it was a pretty kino episode.
Aiden Thompson
>It just mimics real life U wot? >Doesn't get the member berries thing Yeah you're stupid
Levi Cook
Stop fucking watching then.
Luis Green
I'm ok with that. Stick of truth was one of the best games I've played in a while.
Nicholas Ortiz
- The "leaving twitter" is a satirical represention of how normie news outlets view the effects of "cyberviolence" and "trolling" and parodies the news articles that claim trolling leads to suicides.
I think Trey and Matt are removing the voice of reason because i think they're trying to get the viewers to think for themselves rather than having the rational character of the show spoonfeed why this is wrong/stupid. Explaining it in a less lecture-like way might be more interesting.
The memberberries are a parody of how hollywood/game companies/etc now pander to the nostalgia/retro obsessive fanatics who can't let go of the past, leading to less creativity and more rehashing old ideas just to feel "nostalgic"
William Miller
I enjoyed it.
I thought the kid quitting twitter joke went on way too long though. And yeah, I don't care for the member berries. The "joke" so far isn't funny anyway, but we'll what the subplot turns out to be.
Jaxson Lewis
Exactly. The leaving twitter part is basically a longer version of that reaction image of a black guy writing on Twitter that niggas just have to leave the computer to get away from cyber bullying.
I think it's great how Mackey and Randy, two people who are always fed up with their normal lives, are the ones abusing member berries the most.
Isaiah Martin
Their roles in this season are basically the guys who say "things were better in the old days/back in my days"

Kenny can't afford a computer or phone so he isn't on twitter and is therefore not alive.

>The member berries thing is totally dumb too. I just dont get all that. That is not how that works, if you don't get something this obvious, you are the dumb one.
Oliver Bell
Agreed, it's not even that bad of a joke the first time round but then they just keep doing it over and over again throughout the episode.
Noah James
>It is meant to represent suicide, do you take everything at face value?
Sorry to break it down to you, but it's more like media acting like someone quitting twitter (like the sassy black woman from Ghostbusters) is some sort of social drama, like a suicide.
Lucas Morgan
what are member berries even a reference to?
Grayson Cox
The previous season didn't feel this lazily written, what the fuck happened?
Blake Lopez
Is that why his tombstone is in the intro?
Asher Jones
Last Ep was pretty good though. Is it a part of a bigger arc?
Jaxson Taylor
he can be seen lying in the hallway towards the end of the episode
Wyatt Cooper
When did South Park stop being a comedy? There's like 2 jokes in the first 2 eps.
Jordan Martin
I feel like all the jokes from last and current season are just trying to appeal to that of edgy millennial/generation z redditors spouting their opinions on the internet. I tried liking the last season but nothing really stood out or became memorable as funny. I like how they made bashing PC culture popular popular, but the "PC bro?" shit just wasn't funny and the constant Twitter trend-like scenarios where simply addressing it is a joke in itself. The thing that bothers me the fucking most is this unbearably obvious attempt to connect with faggoty millennial internet culture, like by having fucking PewDiePie as a joke on the show. Fucking really? I know it's supposed to be a reaction TO the behaviour of millennial/generation z, but because we follow KIDS in the show, it wouldn't make sense for them to critique it, so they embrace this gay shit where episodes no longer preview skill in wit or feel timeless.
Asher Williams
I just like hearing Cartman's and Randy's voice lads. I'm never tired of this shit

Jose Garcia
So is this all just them setting up shit for the videogame? Is that why it is so shit?
Mason Diaz
I agree that this episode felt stupid, but I did laugh at the absurdity of it all. I don't know, Kenny's been largely absent so far, maybe he'll turn out to be a voice of reason somehow. I also feel like the member berries will have some kind of payoff late in the season. Or at least I'd like to think they're more than just some dumb throwaway joke.
Christian Perez
all the fucking reboots and remakes, duh
Owen Cooper
People who praise season 19 and nu-SP in general: >DUDE IT TOTALLY CALLED OUT ALL THOSE SOCIO-POLITICAL MOVEMENTS, IT TOTALLY RESONATES WITH MY POLITICAL SENSIBILITIES >DUDE VIDEO GAMES NERD STUFF GAME OF THRONES PARODY Matt & Trey replaced creative if juvenile comedy with weak satire for normies to circlejerk over and ripped from the headlines episodes that are outdated as soon as they came out.
Colton Jenkins
Moviebob called this more than a year ago
It is nice to see Cred Forums finally following one of his old thought-leaders again
Also, what the fuck happened with SP's music? Remember in the early seasons, the music had a character that fit perfectly with the town and its characters? Now it's just generic [tension music intensifies] [plot twist zinger] [aimless mood-less orchestral music]. I think the best way to explain the decline of the show is through the music actually, since its decline is the same decline seen in all the other aspects of the show, only it's much more obvious.
Brody Clark
It's especially shameful considering that Donald fucking Trump is running for president. They could be actually making meaningful political commentary like SP used to do. But Trey and Matt are too lolbertarian to admit that Trump is a fucking retard and Hillary is actually a better option.
Turns out that being lolbertarian is a stupid decision and they can't admit it without blowing up all their previous stupid opinions. That's why you should never take politics seriously.
Logan Diaz
They'll have a larger role, wouldn't surprise me if soon enough we'll see the plantation where they are being grown
Henry Bell

you just miss them because you're a fucking retard
Jason Sanchez
It was a good episode.
>Oh no, they are off Twitter. So what? That's the joke. They're making fun of how overly sensitive people are over shit that happens online, shit that is usually just guy humor, people unleashing a little resentment because they have to be so PC in real life. Instead of brushing it off for what it is, the boys go on a witchhunt in fear of their girlfriends retaliating, but then the girls retaliate anyway. In other words, the divide between men and women is growing, even with guys doing everything to appease them. It's time to stop treating this shit as important and grow thicker skin.
Christopher Green
>Turns out that being lolbertarian is a stupid decision
Because you are isolated amongst the plebs voting in the bipartisan system with both choices being awful?
Jordan Collins

Isaiah Gray
Prediction for later this season or probably next season
Trump will win and more white people will become red-pilled. Trey's wife's son will be bullied by white kids at school and called "racist" names. Trey will shoehorn in some episode about how racism is on the rise and how token is persecuted
Lincoln Morris
>That's the joke. >They are making fun of

What? I liked the member berries. It's actually pretty fucking spot on.
Jeremiah Evans

By small changes, you mean making it a dramatic event tantamount to suicide? It's called absurdity. Common in humor.
Evan Hall
>it's okay to take perfectly good things and ruin them for rejuvenation's sake No, fuck you.
Connor Anderson
Anyone else felt that the latest episode was all over the fucking place?
There was no thread through the episode. Just a bunch of B-plots thrown in together with no attempt to make them fit together at all. The overall pacing was completely fucked up.
Chase Moore

Brayden Lopez

Daniel Peterson
Randy Episodes are the funniest though
Chase Brooks
No you didn't user. A series should evolve and improve upon its original traits, not replace them with shallow garbage. After seeing some newer interviews with Matt and Trey I'm convinced that they're just doing them for the paychecks by now.

Lucas Roberts
>A series should evolve and improve upon its original traits,
so a series that started out parodying the week's news stories relevant to a backwater town in colorado that evolved into parodying the week's news stories relevant globally doesn't meet this criteria in some way?
Are you slow?
Jordan Phillips

Hunter Carter
Member Berries are a play on nostalgia. People just member the good ole days and slip away from reality. Meaning that corps. Play on your noatalgia to get you to watch /buy. Are you 18 or retarded?
Nolan Jenkins
That's continuity for you
It's still not funny. Especially when it's not THAT different from real-life.
Jaxon Hernandez
Name 10 episodes from the first 5 seasons that based their plot directly on a recent headline. You can't, because they weren't. Some of them had elements of current events, but they weren't just >look at this thing that is happening >NOW WITH ZANY SOUTH PARK CHARACTERS! Because of this, the earlier seasons have a timeless quality while episodes from two seasons ago already feel dated. Someone who doesn't read the news can still laugh at South Park seasons 1-10.

The shitty plot is what they said family guy does and they talked shit about them and now they're doing it.
Kevin Long
South Park lately feels more like a current events show put to cartoon form than a comedy show using current event satire as a backdrop for the humour. The quality's slid down hard and with this serialized, season-long story format it's getting tiring.
Benjamin Long
>It's still not funny. Especially when it's not THAT different from real-life. Comedy is subjective and you could argue that something like Dr. Strangelove wasn't that different from real life either. Doesn't mean it's not funny. After all, how much unlike real life does something need to be before it becomes funny or vice versa?
Sounds more like you just didn't get it.
Kayden Thomas
You probably just didn't get it.
Jaxson Powell
>so a series that started out parodying the week's news stories
The series started out as random as fuck juvenille humour which it toned down and interlaced with topical shit. Nowadays, it's just topical shit with no jokes and no plot. Also, it's not about the main cast anymore and that's one of the things that make it weak. The South Park comedy staple was the confrontation between the boys and their opinions while they had a common goal.
Camden Russell
>South Park lately feels more like a current events show put to cartoon form than a comedy show using current event satire as a backdrop for the humour. That's what it's been for a long time. The show was never exactly seasons 2-8 of the Simpsons. Why not just enjoy the show for what it is?
Luke Perry
I've been holding on hope that south park hasn't gone zombie, but I think it has. I still enjoy the episodes, just no where near as much as I used to. When did this truly happen? Season 14?

What part?
The part where we're lead to believe that the boys are going to kill Cartman, even though we already know they're just gonna destroy his stuff since they already made that joke in the beginning?
The part where Mr. Mackey had to tell that retarded kill not to leave Twitter, which never had resulted in a punchline.
The part where Kyles dad was involved in trolling because thats what millennials these days do?
The part where those berries says "Memba this" for the 29th time?

I don't know, I feel like both of your opinions are so binary. People seem to either love or hate the new season.
For me, it's kinda meh. I thought season 1 actually had a really great punchline with the JJ Abrams bit, and there were a couple of laughs elsewhere. Episode 2 was kind of a bore but I'm willing to give them the benefit, and I admit the Gerald scenes at least made me smile, especially the one where he talks to Ike.
The big pitfall, for me, I think, was that they kept hammering the whole "leaving Tumblr is suicide" punchline that was worth a grin at most the first time and then went down from there. They made the same joke THREE times. The girl, the cartman execution, scott with diabetes. I was expecting the episode to end on "all the girls quit Twitter" just because of how overused it was at that point.
I don't love it or hate it. Maybe I can make a call after episode 3. I'm interested to see what they do with the breakup plot. Maybe they'll take some shots at 'political lesbianism', etc.

you keep complaining about how stupid member berries are, but that is exactly you. "member when southpark was good? member when kenny died every episode? member when there was no continuity? yeah, i member"
Nathaniel Wood
There is literally not one funny episode of anything you couldn't make sound shit by sarcastically pretending to deconstruct it but actually just removing the context. It really sounds like you were trying very hard not to enjoy the episode, which is exactly what I imagine Cred Forums types doing. Maybe you should find a hobby.
Caleb Peterson
>Here comes the last stand of nu-Park defenders The show hit a sharp decline years and years ago, and has never fully recovered, but the general quality has gone up with the past two seasons.

The show has primarily used redundant humor since season 5 or 6. If you don't like it, fine, but why the hell are you still watching?

So you actually enjoyed that 15 minute build up to something we already knew from the start was going to happen?
The mr mackey thing was also fucking retarded with no payoff.
I usually like South Park but this was a really weak episode.
Last season they kinda mixed the continuation with single story line structure. But this season they seem to go for 100% continuation and it's not working for me at all. This episode was just a random mess of subplots.
Nolan Adams
I'm going to try and give you what you want. Hey man, the episode SUCKED so BAD right? I only noticed it now that after you weighed in with your expert critique, but holy shit. You are not just right, you are in fact the only person to have had the insight to see the truth. While others watched like sheep, you were working tirelessly to expose the true nature of this show - a hollow SCAM.
>The part where Kyles dad was involved in trolling because thats what millennials these days do?
They should have just carried on pretending it was the 90s! Back when your life was better! Why can't Trey and Matt see how selfish they're being by insisting on living in the present?? Actually, you just didn't get it.

Levi Wright
You know what, I did. And yeah, I knew they were obv going to smash Cartman's stuff, but I still appreciated it - it was just pulled off very nicely, and actually reminded me of some classic eps. I think the satire worked very well - when a celebrity quits twitter cos of some mean troll, as happened with Leslie Jones, Stephen Fry, Joss Whedon etc etc, the media does have a tendency to act like its a tragedy. Taking it to its logical conclusion is standard South Park fare.
Bentley Reyes
They fully admit that Hillary is unelectable and nobody likes her
Wait till the end of the season to see how they make Trump look like a fucking boss
Landon Reed

If you don't like what people say online: turn it off.
Matthew Scott
It's definitelly pretty far from being as good as prime SP, but I think it's gotten better than the last 5 years or so. You can really tell that Trey has finally given up on the world and just spouts out all the angry shit that he wants to, and Matt, being a grade A asshole who never cared about anything ever just loved that Trey has finally stooped down to his level of not really giving a shit anymore. Ofcourse Trey is a jaded fuck now who believes his oppinions are so damn great and everyone's a douche but him, but I sort of like it, due to the fact that he seems to know it himself.
Parker Green
The writers will often throw in observational satirical comedy like that with subtle jokes that most people miss, but I always catch them. I feel like Matt Stone and Trey Parker 'get' me.
Nathan Myers
>The mr mackey thing was also fucking retarded with no payoff.

The difference is they used to get it over with in one episode and then they had another. With continuity, the preaching never ends.
Samuel Scott
So if the episode wrapped up all its plotlines then and there, you'd be satisfied? You know, it is possible to do variations on a theme, while maintaining continuity. Like, you know, the last season did.
Levi Sanders
Trump is borderline the secondary protagonist of this show
He will be interesting to watch develope
As a Trump supporter I laughed when he was yelling FUCK EM ALL TO DEATH because Trump does say some stupid shit sometimes

Yes, but they took light jabs, like SNL. Face it, Trey and Matt are now mentally hill.
Cameron Morales
They did an entire episode about her disgusting vagina years before they ever touched Trump but people think they are Hillary shills because they go after the shitton of material Trump has given them

Nah, Gerald is high tier but he has to pull more shit off to be Randy-tier.
That entire montage needs to be a Cred Forums banner though.
Nathaniel Campbell
holy fuck i totally forgot about that terrible snizz episode
Robert Brown
The only time Trump appeared in South Park before season 19 was a cameo in the "IT" episode where he was an interested investor.
And face it, Trump is a meme-tier candidate just showing how fractured and divided the GOP has been since 2006.
Cooper Cox
I don't know how it could be any more obvious, it's the laziest fucking writing. It's about dumbasses who think MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is a thing - stupid people are obsessing over things from the past (LIKE MUH 1950s AMERICA WAS BETTER) and ignoring the world around them at the expense of nostalgia, for things that werent even that good to begin with.
Parker Parker
>framed quitting twitter as suicide
its a comment on how social media = life for a lot of people. If they aren't sharing, tweeting or facebooking then there's something seriously wrong with that person - that's how normies and especially children raised on social media think about the world.
Stan etc isn't aware of how stupid this is because he lives in the social media bubble too. Duh.
Member berries is mocking nostalgia, and the aging population - they want to vote everything back to how it used to be when they were kids because it was better then, see "make america great again" or the recent Brexit vote - which was championed by the elderly and uneducated. Even your own comments of "member when South Park was good?" are apart of what they're making fun of with the member berries. Sure, there was Ghostbusters in the 1980s, but there was also a lot of bad things too, and people throw on their nostalgia goggles and forget about those bad things to still paint those eras in a good light. Just so they can say "man, I'm glad I grew up in the 80s before all this tech stuff"
The whole set up of the season so far looks to be positioning the nostalgic vs the new. What people are looking back at and thinking was good vs what people think is good and important nowadays. We're in the present, and we can go one of two ways with society, forwards and into the future, or backwards and into the past - metaphorically speaking. We can either embrace social media, progressive lefties and political correctness, or we can fight our way back to before we had these technologies and problems, before it mattered if you called a black person a darkie.

>ignoring the world around them at the expense of nostalgia, for things that werent even that good to begin with Or it's because the world has gone to shit because of political correctness, social media, and liberal institutions, and people end up deriving more pleasure in nostalgia than the pursuits of modern life.

>HEY GUYS NOSTALGIA IS LIKE RUINING MOVIES AND POLITICS. THINGS WERE BETTER BECAUSE YOU WERE YOUNG AND FULL OF HOPE.
Never seen that shit before. Truly breaking new ground, worth 30 mins of my time.
I hope Trey can get his wifes son kobe a voice acting role. Maybe as a new black character?
Eli Harris
I've been a fan of South Park for over a decade and I'm finally starting to see a real decline in the quality. This continuous episode thing was a really bad idea in my opinion because the show can be hit and miss and when you stick with one idea for an entire season then that's basically it.
The best episodes are usually about the boys themselves going on adventures or featuring their own unique characters. Now it isn't even about them anymore, it's always this bigger thing and it feels like they're playing cameos. They don't even really act like themselves now.
The adults seem to be the bigger focus lately. We can't even have a goth kids episode, or a Towelie episode, or a Halloween special, because it's all going to be about the same shit for the rest of the season, and it isn't even funny.
I get the fucking jokes, they're just not funny. Yes, people in real life make a big deal about people quitting Twitter. Who cares? Oh Bebe is crying over it lmao it's so funny because it's not a big deal but she's crying LOL!
Grayson Morgan
TS and GD is their comment on the presidential election, but is also part of the member when south park was good thing too, yeah. Stan's comments about "why are we back here" could be taken as meta commentary about where the show is right now too.
Still waiting on that example.
Adam Reed
>modern life is kind of shitty
On the off chance you're not trolling, what makes you feel this way?
Asher Jackson
This. The South Park writers will sometimes throw out some subtle jokes that most viewers miss, but I always catch them. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are equal to me on an intellectual/comedic level. And I respect them for that.
Noah Harris
>predominantly liberal society >the US is an oligarchy
you're a moron, get out of your Cred Forums echo chamber. We've have 30 years of conservative economics that have turned the west to shit, but of course its liberals who want shit like gay marriage who are REALLY ruining society
Thomas Cooper
Exactly. I sorta liked Member Berries, but the whole joke that kids' social media is their entire life is already a boring premise. Also the whole "Trump is trying to purposely throw the election" is a joke literally every person has already made.
Alexander Wilson
>show me a real life example of parody cartoon antics Wew lad you really outsmarted him this time.
Isaiah Thompson
>implying those things can only be demonstrated through cartoons
lol why are you even here
Mason Taylor
Matt and Trey have lived through twice as many presidential elections than most of you. This isn't their first rodeo but for most of you it is.
Juan Reed
>implying you're not from reddit lol why are you here?
Jaxon Gray
They literally just exist to name drop at this point.
If they threw John Oliver into an episode and did a "CURRENT YEAR" joke everyone here would love it, even if it was unoriginal as fuck.
If they threw in a LOL "DRUMPF" joke hillary supporters would love it, even if it was a shit joke.
They are a 20 year old platform with success under their belt. All they need to do is lightly pander with existing tropes and people will lose it. Because its South Park that agrees with you.
If a brand new show ran this seasons material no one would give a fuck.
Lucas Phillips
It's not that controversial. Life was considerably better in the 80's and 90's, generally speaking, in many ways. It's not all just DUDE NOSTALGIA. There's a reason so many people are retreating to nostalgia and South Park is making a commentary on that.
Easton Morgan
Of course not, I used to be a tripfag on this board way back when L O S T live threads were a thing.

Alexander Gonzalez
Serious question from yurofaggot: has there ever been an election in the US where there was such a big campaign to NOT vote for one of the candidates?
It seems quite strange that from the two presidential candidates, it is considered a mortal sin to vote for one of them by a large part of the US population.
William Barnes
Care to name a few of those reasons?
Camden Flores
None of those are a straight-up South Parkā¢ remastering of modern news.
Zachary Morgan
>Life was considerably better in the 80's and 90's, generally speaking, in many ways
then it should not be too difficult to say why
because life in the 80s and 90s was absolutely terrible for a lot of non-Western countries

Christian Collins
Not that user, but I think that life wasn't "better" in the past, just that it was simpler. Nobody had to worry about online trolls in the 80s, because there wasn't an internet.
People often confuse simpler for better, and I'm not sure I agree. Our lives have gotten so much more complex and yeah, its harder nowadays, but there are lots of rewards for that. Like better tech etc.

I'm talking about society as a whole, not partisan politics, which have adopted liberal institutions of thought which stifle modern life.
Gavin Jenkins

Lincoln Wright
I'm in my 30s and this is the most unusual election I've ever seen. Honestly they tend to be pretty boring. Just a rich old white guy vs another rich old white guy. That joke on Futurama where the clones run against eachother was pretty accurate.
But to answer your question the rhetoric has always been dramatic no matter how bland the candidates were. "A vote for 3% titanium tax would literally be the end of this country! I'm moving to canada if he wins!!" We've always been over the top with this shit.
Lucas Brooks

USA elections always are unusual because Two-party system. Media always make jokes about how plurality voting cant work with American particular mindset.
Levi Robinson
Of course it's liberal 'thinking' that's fucked the world up, not globalization, free trade, and trickle down, all things that have caused the shit state we're in now, and you're just the useful idiots who have been convinced it's not those up the top to blame, it's of course the liberals and gays and muzzies and all the other actual powerless groups in society.
Ryder Hughes
>its a comment on how social media = life for a lot of people. They did that already in the Facebook episode.

South Park is actually bipartisian.
Brayden Turner
It should be assumed I'm talking about America, given that we're talking about South Park, which is based in America. >People often confuse simpler for better And they sometimes confuse making a mess out of things with complexity. > Our lives have gotten so much more complex and yeah, its harder nowadays, but there are lots of rewards for that. If you're a sociopath. >Like better tech etc. Tech is better but it bears both benefits and consequences.

Trump is not the solution. Lobbying a grenade and destroying the system that got the US this far isn't going to make anything better. It needs to be fixed from the bottom up, not destroyed from the top down.

No doubt, conservatives are at fault too, but they have given into liberal groupthink. > it's of course the liberals and gays and muzzies and all the other actual powerless groups in society. Liberals are not powerless. They are richer than conservatives by a good margin.
Jaxon Richardson
>its a comment on how social media = life for a lot of people. If they aren't sharing, tweeting or facebooking then there's something seriously wrong with that person - that's how normies and especially children raised on social media think about the world.
I love when people think social media was invented in 2015. Social media exist since 70s with BBS, Compuserve and The Well. You have 70s hippies obsessed posting her electronic online avatar, same that people today with instagram or facebook
David Taylor

Alexander Reed

Daniel Cox
Not this. I don't entirely agree with Matt and Trey but still find their show funny. And if the humor is based on recognition alone, it would have no underlying themes. Not that they aren't guilty of lazy jokes now and then, but South Park in the early years never had to compete with the internet.
Jose Foster

The format has changed a lot from the older seasons, sure ill give you that, but honestly, I can't remember an episode that made me laugh as hard as this one.
But then again, I don't get stuck on older season nostalgia like a lot of people seem to do these days. Golden era of tv seems to either be dying or dead. Just go with the flow until you can't take it anymore and stop watching.

Jobs were much easier to find. Student debt wasn't as much of a problem. Degrees weren't worthless. Successful films weren't just comic book adaptations that followed a mathematical formula, they were innovative and wholesome. Decades had their defining new genres of music, of which both well-known and niche masterpieces were made. TV was wholesome and promoted real virtues and the nuclear family. Divorce rates weren't as high. People weren't as narcissistic. Feminism was about curbing unfair discrimination and promoting women's unique characteristic, rather than taking out misplaced anger on men and attempting to feminize them while defeminizing women as an expression of self-hatred. Political correctness wasn't as oppressive, humor was more free. Irony, cynicism and reactionary atheism weren't as widespread. After the cold war and pre-9/11 people had much more faith in their security and more trust in their government.
Gavin Cooper
>Used goods
Try a mulatto ex stripper/ escort named Boogie. Thats a little more than "used goods".

Don't give me that shit. I didn't say anything vague at all, or are jobs actually harder to find now than they were in the 80s and 90s? Oh right, I forgot about the big student loan crisis of 1989. And who can forget all those SJWs back in the 80s, huh? People were so sensitive back then. Thankfully the 2010s has been seeing huge growth for religion, at least we have that. Fucking 90s kids, always complaining about current generation when literally all generations are exactly the same.
Elijah Parker

Loved it
Evan Perry
They're maturing as writers. In season commentaries they always talk about the new TV drama they're into. They loved 24 and loved the idea of not having to tie up every loose end at the end of an episode.
So now they're just tackling the serialized drama format. I have trust in them

Levi Wood
bring back bigoted cartman, he was much funnier
Nolan White
Here's a clue for you South Park followers. No matter how many times he is portrayed as a "white racist"; no matter how much he rips on jews, Cartman's actual behavior is jewish to the core. Anyone who understands the jewish mindset will readily recognize this. Whereas Kyle, "the jew" is always played up as a tower of righteousness, a pillar of virtue, and a champion of compassion and fair play (which, in reality, are all inherently "white" characteristics), Cartman repeatedly engages in thoughts and behaviors which are traditionally, and unmistakenly, those of the jew.
Cartman is, in fact, the quintessential jew... albeit wrapped up in a superficial layer of whiteness, in order to promote and perpetuate the "white racist" stereotype. Tell me this isn't done on purpose, and I'll tell you what a blind fucking moron you are.
One other aspect of the Cartman character is that he oftentimes accurately describes jews and individual/conspiratorial jewish behaviors, but these truths are expected to be disregarded by the viewing audience as false because of Cartman's many lies and acts of deception, which in themselves are historically the inherent traits of the jew, but projected on Cartman, again, because he is white.
