Hard pass, it's going to be shit like the previous 8 seasons.

>>49587 Let this shit die already.

>>49614 That's a brutal level of decline. He's become a parody of himself.

kek what a raped bitch

>>49657 I remember in one of the commentaries he was attacking George Lucas, saying that in the writers rooms for Star Wars prequels, George only hired yes men who lick his ass, and fires anyone that criticize him. Which is very hypocritical, as I feel that what goes on in the modern South Park Writers room

>>49822 You think she's ever farted on Stan before?

>>49587 Who cares about this crap anymore?

People still watch south park?

>>50651 I care.

What did you guys think of the new episode?

>>55365 TBH, I still think South Park jumped the shark and started going down hill when they started doing season long plotlines. The latest episode, the biggest issue I have is how it shows Matt and Trey's political bias. People claim they make fun of everyone, but... okay, Trump is reincarnated Saddam Hussein now, but where was this criticism and parody when Biden was very obviously senile and being propped up by the Democratic party or how Harris was a terrible presidential candidate that even a lot of Dems knew was going to lose? I think they wrote themselves into a corner with Garrison as Trump and just didn't know what to do with Trump being the only president since Grover Cleveland to have two non-consecutive terms.

>>55365 What really bothers me is that it's advertised as the "thought provoking" cartoon but heavily relies on Ren & Stimpy-tier humor and everyone pretends it's a subtle message to the naive masses, like a duck barfing or their personal beefs with celebrities (their jab at Mel Gibson aged like fine wine huh?)

>>55408 Not just Mel Gibson, but remember when they spent multiple episodes shitting on Phil Collins because he "stole" the best original song Oscar from them? Because Tarzan won over the South Park movie?

>>55372 Really the double whammy of season long plotlines, appeals to relevancy in pop culture references, and the shift in focus from the kids to the adults castrated the show. I genuinely dont recognize it anymore. It's bizarre to think the guys that came up with "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" are the same guys pushing PC principal. They cant even let go of their falling out with Isaac Hayes, Chef returns as an antagonist in Stick of Truth ffs. All the criticisms they levied against Macfarlane, and in the end they are little better than him. >>55408 If you want to talk about episodes that aged poorly look at the Jersey Shore one. I physically cringe at the thought of it. It's about as bad as Lisa Goes Gaga. Also, why are tumblr women so obsessed with the boys? I've never understood this phenomenon.

>>55408 Which cartoons are genuinely thought-provoking?

>>55473 Even before Season long plots the cracks were showing. The season before that (18) had a few episodes I enjoyed like Gluten Free Ebola (partly because I personally know people still on the gluten free fad when they don't actually have any real health issues with gluten or they greatly exaggerate any sensitivity they do have), Cock Magic (amusing even if MTG was something I was never super in to, but this was years before Hasbro and WotC started to seriously fuck up their IPs like MTG having numerous non-canon crossover sets to attract normalfags), and Freemium isn't Free (if only because it's a decent parody of how games like that deliberately and predatorily encourage addictive gambling behavior), but that season also had The Cissy (where Trey and Matt backpedaled on their previous mockery of transgender ideology which is rather cringe when we still have leftist nuts pushing for this in children despite more recent public pushback) Grounded Vindaloop (self referential 4th wall breaking meta plots can be very annoying and it's why I stopped watching Rick and Morty) and #REHASH and #HappyHolograms (which seems like a rather bizarre "How do you do fellow kids" moment from the show). The last season I can really say I enjoyed (almost) entirely was 17. The worst episode of that season to me was World War Zimmerman, mainly just because out of anything they could have parodied from late 00s to early 10s zombie fad they went with a forgettable in name only adaptation (that barely broke even mainly due to an overinflated budget and causing the trilogy plans to be scrapped) of a book that has rather nonsensical plot elements when stopping to actually think about it.

>>55473 >why are tumblr women so obsessed with the boys? Assuming they're not ESL, they likely grew up with Comedy Central or whatever channel it aired on for them being easily accessible to them as kids or teenagers. The main cast is majority male and even though there have been love interests for the guys, they never seem to actually make any of them stick for too long, which makes it easier for women to project their gay ships onto the cast. On top of that, the main quartet have decent friendly chemistry, which can be interpreted by fujo types as hints towards their gayness for each other. And they can age up the boys for the sake of stupid teenage drama.

>>55477 Xavier Renegade Angel, Dilbert, Aqua Teen, Home Movies, and arguably even Megas XLR.

>>55477 >Which cartoons are genuinely thought-provoking? Of Western cartoons? Probably Smiling Friends, Liberty Kids, seconding Dilbert, almost ever DC cartoon, Get Ed, and unironically Tom & Jerry. But to be honest, a lot of shows didn't treat the audience like they were idiots, like a lot people tend to pigeon hole them as being. While majority did exist for the purposes of entertainment, they used to actually have some well written ideas and concepts in play. I'd actually say Scooby-Doo and Transformers is one of the better ones in this regard because it played ideas that actually did exist at the time. And it's only as material progressed that they just became more and more outlandish. >>55479 >mainly just because out of anything they could have parodied from late 00s to early 10s zombie fad they went with a forgettable in name only adaptation People still latch onto WWZ almost entirely because of the scene with the zombies piling on top of each other to climb over the wall in Israel. Hell, it was that one scene that almost entirely influenced the development of Days Gone.

>>55372 For me it was PC principal. It felt like a joke that should have been contained to a single episode.

>>55473 >Also, why are tumblr women so obsessed with the boys? I've never understood this phenomenon. It's a fujo thing, a mix of a shota fetish (read: purity and sex juxtaposition) with perceiving male bonding as a form of sexual attraction (read: not grasping how men think). They love Stand By Me type stories about little boys bonding and having intimate moments which South Park has in between all the swearing and poop jokes.

>>55527 >People still latch onto WWZ almost entirely because of the scene with the zombies piling on top of each other to climb over the wall in Israel. Hell, it was that one scene that almost entirely influenced the development of Days Gone. Only three scenes I really find memorable about that movies are (1) The Zombie wall scene as you mentioned, also as AlternateHistoryHub/PointlesHub pointed out the zombies were calm until the Palestinians and Israelis start getting along and celebrating (ignoring how unlikely it is the Israelis would let the Palestinians in or that the Israelis knew the zombie apocalypse was coming so built a wall but apparently didn't even warn their allies while doing this), at which point they jump over the wall and start killing everyone. "What did you mean by that, movie?" (2) Because the plot couldn't have the protagonists find a cure that fast and needed more runtime there's the unintentional hilarity of the Korean doctor researching a cure/vaccine tripping as he gets into a C-130 and accidentally shooting himself in the head (3) The silly "zombies ignore people who are already sick even if the person was only just exposed and there was zero time for the disease to incubate" ending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJWwJDCwL7U It's got some cool scenes, but they're mostly all in the trailer.

>>55477 The Boondocks had some episodes that presented genuine social commentary on the black community, but that got lost on most people who only saw "Ew, racism" or "Lmao, racism"

Latest episode is incredibly cringe. Clyde is a straw man for non-left political podcasts and online commenters. Matt and Trey are on the lefty illegal immigration band wagon apparently. It's basically just "ICE bad". I thought the bit with a guy talking about illegal immigrants being good and plenty in heaven would cut to a joke about the amount of actual criminals and drug smuggling coming over the border, but no just cut to ICE raiding heaven. I didn't laugh once at this. It just felt painful to watch knowing how good South Park used to be.

>>55579 Even the shock seems to be more of the same, and the "ICE bad" doesn't help. When Kristi Noem shot down every dog, I'm reminded of that one segment from that Drawn Together Movie where all those dogs were killed just to rile up everybody. It was supposed to be a reference to Noem killing her dog and defending her choice that got her in trouble.

>>55582 The episode is completely lacking in any real nuance or thought provoking commentary. I can at least agree her explanation of killing an aggressive dog that's untrainable. Dogs get euthanized all the time if they're actually being dangerous. The joke in the episode was overdone and simplified it to Kristi Noem just shoots dogs that get near her. By the end of the episode it was groan worthy to close with her walking into a pet store and shooting as the credits roll. It comes off as lazy. At least when they did the Jenner running over people joke they didn't have it a dozen times in a single episode and made it part him being a "stunning and brave" transgender beyond criticism because any one actually paying attention notices the rich and famous and those with establishment agreed politics will get a slap on the wrist where a poor and unknown person would get a vehicular manslaughter charge.

>>55583 Doesn't even make sense as political commentary. Everyone across the board hates her for doing it.

>>55527 >>55546 World War Z: The Movie is absolute ass, one of the shittiest and safest popcorn flicks I have ever seen. Even the videogame is better entertainment. The book is actually fun to read and has some genuine great concepts. >Post WWZ United Nations employee (The fictionalized Mel Brooks that wrote the prequel, Zombie Survival Guide) is tasked with piecing together what the fuck happened post Zombie Apocalypse >Goes around to various countries and institutions including NASA, KGB and CIA >Everyone experiences are different and the guys being interviewed all have different personalities, ideologies and views. >Tons of action and intrigue It's fucking great, with tons of lore and they could have literally made a trilogy with that shit alone and instead they made that pile of fucking garbage that unsurprisingly works better as a videogame which actually references the book several times unlike the movie. They did not give a shit, they just wanted the title and to give jobs to their friends, whole thing is a mess and the fact that both reviewers and audiences are still extremely so lenient with it is a testament to how bad cinema has been for decades. Disappointed me more than Terminator Salvation, and that's saying something. >>55554 >Got lost on most people Niggers maybe, fucking show is rarely subtle and has fucking King Negro MLK rising from the grave to lambast Ameriniggers about being worse than fucking apes.

>>55411 >Phil Collins depicted with an award shoved up his ass I never knew that, I thought they just threw him there for the sake of being random, that means Matt and Trey are the kind of fratboys who get easily butthurt when nobody awards them with a star on their foreheads for every retarded sex/gross joke they shit out. >>55473 >Macfarlane The other stinker that aged badly, not bad as Hussein's depiction, however they could've showed Macfarlane being a desperate graduate sucking cock at Cartoon Network's HQ who got sold as a sex slave to FOX's aussie owner wearing Fritzl's photoshopped face, not this retarded gag of manatees randomly choosing balls for their jokes, which caused Macfarlane to cut the joke of Matt and Trey having gay sex as his response because it's an actual insult. Yet the writers at the Simpsons and KotH stroke their egos because they exposed Family Guy as something bad, bearing in mind that South Park is no different. >>55540 In other words: >Dykes have worse fetishes than your average Deviantart manchild

If a girl farts in the next South Park episode, I'll love the show again.

Since everyone thinks South Park sucks, how about you guys write an episode?

>>55643 Also, nsfw is allowed

>>55643 >how about you guys write an episode? Why? I don't like the show in the first place.

>>55646 Maybe just shitpost about random shit. Like Wendy farting on someone

>>55643 As their graduation to fifth grade approaches, the Boys somehow see what they'll be like as sixth graders, and Cartman finds out that he won't be there. The others brush it off, but Cartman panics and desperately searches for the reason why. This search eventually leads him to Damien, who he tries to ingratiate himself with by doing things he thinks the Anti-Christ would like in an attempt to learn his fate from Satan, an idea inspired by a conversation between him and a dyslexic kindergartener who confuses Santa and Satan. When his initial attempts don't work, he goes to the Goths, the Gingers, and others to find out what they would do to appease the Anti-Christ, even doing psychedelics because he heard about DMT demons, sacrificing Kenny, and asking Token what he would do because he misunderstands the Mark of Cain as having black skin. Once all other options are exhausted, he seeks guidance from Father Maxi, who misunderstands and thinks Cartman is gay for Damien. From this conversation, Cartman gets the idea of selling his soul and offers it to Damien on a "no takesie-backsies" deal. Damien goes to Satan's place, there's some friction between them as the scene of Damien in Hell has him kick open the door to Satan's house and explain that "some fat faggot" has been annoying him and that he reminds him of Satan. After an offscreen conversation, Damien comes back and tells Cartman he's not going where Pip went. Cartman flies off the handle before Damien can clarify that he's moving to Canada, and there's a joke where he lists the various afterlives of other religions as implicitly worse than Hell. Cartman runs back to Maxi and asks to talk to Jesus to ask for forgiveness. Jesus comes and says there's nothing he can do for Cartman unless he lets the holy spirit enter him. This time, Cartman is the one to misinterpret it as being gay. After a montage, there's another boxing match, this time between Cartman and Damien. Damien wails on Cartman, but, at Satan's urging, tries to copy how Satan threw the last match. Cartman kicks Damien in the balls then puts his weight behind his punch, something Jesus taught him to do in the montage. The weight of the hit kills Damien by spinning his head a full 360. Everyone else looks horrified as Cartman celebrates. Cartman cheers, "Did you see that, guys? I killed the Anti-Christ!" Defeated, Satan says something along the lines of "All of this just because he's going to Canada". From the sidelines, Stan turns to Kyle, and the two remark how Butters wasn't with them in their vision of sixth grade either. The episode ends.

>>55653 Peak cinema. This is genuinely something South Park should do.

So I take it people don't like South Park here?

>>55678 Newer stuff not so much.

>>55680 Well, it was good at one point.

>>55681 Was it really, though? I hate to pull the "nostalgia glasses" argument, but what was ever so great about it in the first place that isn't just people reminissing about the "good old days"?

>>55653 >fifth grade Considering all of the main South Park kids' voices are already sounding old for years, a slight but permanent redesign would help a lot (not just some temporary aged up special from COVID). It will soon be over 25 years since moving to fourth grade (according to the episode that aired).

>>55658 I'm glad someone likes it. I think that it would be a good basis for South Park to transition to a format focusing on more characters, sort of answering the show's Member Berries joke. A lot of it could be recycled scrapped material from SOT and TFBW, particularly for a Goth Kids 4, which could make jokes about how Goth, Emo, and Vamp have become irrelevant and explain it as the consequence of some sort of long shadow war that they need Butters to help fight as Henrietta has been kidnapped by the Vamps to turn her into some sort of ultimate being, her having previously been an Emo, and so Count Ravyncrowe, who usurped Mike and now leads the Vamps with the goal of taking the war into the open, can have a girlfriend. In this episode particularly, there'd be clarification over Michael's ancestry as Cartman, through Butters, forces him to confront how he's a "half breed," being half-White and half-Chinese, and how that could turn the tide. After trying to learn martial arts from Tuong Lu Kim, it's revealed that he has no aptitude for it and is instead adept at yaoi, an ability that could let him halve Vamp numbers by converting the girls in it to whatever the Asian girls from the yaoi episode are. However, he can only gain this power if he undergoes a makeover by these same yaoi girls, compromising his Goth orthodoxy. I don't know how things would go from there, but the episode would end with the ultimate being being made out of Firkle in a Dune reference after Butters usurps Count Ravyncrowe and impresses Henrietta, hinting at a future pairing of the two and character growth for Butters. Firkle would declare that Goth, Vamp, and Emo are actually all the same thing, not because of a lack of inherent differences as stated in Goth Kids 3, but because nobody knows what the terms mean anymore as culture has passed them by. He'd christen the new, unified clique, and the episode's last scene would be the Goth Kids sitting behind the school again. One of them would ask what happens now, and if they can still call themselves Goths. The twist to end the episode would be Firkle answering, "Duh, of course we can. What are we, conformists?" or something along that line. The episode as a whole would be an inversion of Cartman's Atheist two-parter. >>55693 I agree. I've always wondered by Matt and Trey never attempted to move them into 5th Grade. Maybe it's due to how entrenched South Park became. Unlike cartoons from the 2010s, European cartoons, and anime, it's a major brand risk to change a character's appearance. Every piece of South Park merchandise would no longer reflect how they look on-screen, and reusing character assets in video games would be impossible. This isn't to mention animation costs. I think this may be why episodes revolving around other characters were phased out too.

>>55696 I don't think they should be moved up a grade. What would change personality-wise? The kids (with the exception of Butters) behave like mini adults. Moving to 5th grade won't change anything except their appearance Although, a shadow war seems cool

>>55689 The kids acted like kids, the show's commentary was more allegorical and not so direct, Randy was a side character, etc.

So, anyone else wanna see where Cartman's arc is going?

>>55653 >and asking Token what he would do because he misunderstands the Mark of Cain as having black skin. I love it.

>>55710 Why did Matt and Trey complain about running out of ideas? They have comedy gold right here!

>>55697 >What would change personality-wise What really changed personality-wise when they moved up to fourth grade? The idea would be to have semi-status quo character growth to allow for more interactions and plots, rather than the typical return to status quo. Older kids have always been shown as moody, overly emotional, exploitative, etc, and that leaves plenty of questions as to what the regular cast would be like as older kids. I'd probably end the series with the Boys graduating from South Park Elementary.

>>55724 Ok, never mind, that seems interesting. Though it should be close to the final season, if it gets there anyways.

Fuck it, they should make a fart fetish episode. It would turn heads better than what they're doing now.

>>55774 Wasn't farts half the plot of Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole?

>>55801 Yes, you're right. You have to fart on Scott's face and get a gerbil shoved up your ass. But I was talking about the show, not games.

So, what's your hopes for the new episode?

>>55774 Isn't that all of the Terrance and Phillip episodes?

>>55815 Nah, those were clearly jokes. I was thinking more like Ginger Cow or farting on Scott's face.

>>49822 Someone should edit Ginger Cow and put Wendy in Kyle's place

Any hopes for S27 E3?

>>55643 Make the child protagonists grow up? It's so fucking jarring seeing them act like midget adults just like with the Simpsons and Family Guy.

>>55895 Nah, I prefer they get dumbed down back to being normal kids. Also, more fart jokes.

>>55774 Stan watches Terrance and Phillip and gets a boner then freaks out about it because he can't stop. The episode ends with Wendy giving in to his demands and accidentally shitting in his mouth. Alternatively, Butters watches Terrance and Phillip and gets a boner because a girl on the show reminds him of his Canadian ex-girlfriend. He finds out that it really is her, and has to deal with the fallout of being Canadian fart cucked, which would be the title of the episode. The episode ends with him accidentally shitting on her face on live TV, then being banned from entering Canada. Another alternative is Kyle watching an episode of Terrance and Phillip, looking for fan art, getting a boner, then falling down a fart fetish rabbit hole. He's fetishized for his big nose because he's Jewish and gets rhinoplasty to progressively increase the size of it. He ends up starring in a video with a woman who has ridiculously large ass because farts are stored in there. It's found by Ike, then seen by his mother. He's kicked out, and, after having a conversation with Mr. Slave about whether what he's doing is gay or not, whores himself for farts in the sense that people pay him money to fart on him, since Mr. Slave explains that a transactional relationship doesn't make it gay unless the purpose of the transaction is to be gay. Cartman takes pity on Kyle and tries to rehab him by bringing him to a Holocaust museum and putting him in a gas chamber, funneling his own farts into it. Kyle realizes the weight of what he has done and breaks down as Cartman heils Hitler repeatedly in the background, this having been an obvious trick to try and get Kyle to die in a gas chamber or prove that the Holocaust didn't happen for a bet with Token, something set up earlier in the episode as an aside in a conversation between Token and Cartman as Cartman learned about Black Israelites in the B-Plot and made a bet with Token that would require Cartman to convince him the Holocaust didn't happen. Token converting to Judaism and paying Cartman $500 is Cartman's reward for it. The episode ends with Kyle waking up to Cartman and Token at his hospital bed, discussing whether or not he'll wake up. Cartman celebrates while Token looks defeated. Kyle, not understanding what's going on, asks Token why, and Cartman, after receiving $500 from Token, says, "Because the Holocaust didn't happen!" Kyle asks Token what Cartman is talking about, and Token spits in Kyle's face, saying something about this being caused by the "Khazar Empire," revealed in a later episode to be a real thing that Kyle is to be inducted into by his father as a sign of his manhood on the night of his bar mitzvah. For any of these ideas, Kenny tries it and has his head blown off because it's actually meth fumes from Tweak's parents' coffee shop, and someone lights a match.

>>55909 First one is pretty funny, since it mirrors Stan puking on her. Second one is fine because we get more Charlotte. Third one is probably the worst. Kenny probably already has a fart fetish

>>55908 >dumbed down >more fart jokes More highbrow humor then

>>55965 Don't you mean lowbrow humor?

I want Bebe to rip a nasty fart on Clyde

Anyway, next episode is a Towelie episode! ...kill me

Here: >>>/trash/67042

It wasn't all that bad. Luckily, Tegridy Farms is finally dead.

Change my mind, it was mid

Took 7 years, but it's gone...

Just watched the Cereal episodes from like 2017 or 2018 or something. Hilarious watching them walk back everything they said about global warming and sucking Al Gore's dick, while simultaneously admitting this "panic" happens every several years, admitting the global warming predictions were wrong, and not reconciling those things whatsoever with their new stance. Kind of like after they introduced PC Principal and spent a whole season ripping on political correctness only to backtrack right at the end and just say "some bad other people were misusing it and really it's right in the end", only the turnabout took decades instead of a single season.

>>55473 >appeals to relevancy in pop culture references I feel like they've always done this. It just used to be mostly celebrity appearances in the earliest episodes. >>55473 >Also, why are tumblr women so obsessed with the boys? I've never understood this phenomenon. What are you talking about? Chicks dig young boys being gay together. Did you not see the episode about "yaoi" where Tweak and Craig are shipped by some Asian girls. Ever since then, they just pretend to be gay however many seasons later. >>55582 >>55583 I thought it was also in reference to law enforcement in general shooting dogs when they raid places.

>>56441 They didn't suck his dick. They apologized for denying climate change. They still portrayed him as an egotistical douche who only helps when they stroke him.

>>56475 They made everyone reluctantly suck his dick because it's "the right thing to do even if he sounds retarded".

>>56476 Well, what's your solution? Al Gore was right but annoying, so they portrayed him that way in the show

>>56478 >Well, what's your solution? Al Gore was right but annoying They admit he wasn't though. And that's after many decades of climate change alarmism in general repeatedly being wrong. Like the show admitted. Every 5 years or so there's a panic. Every five years they predict there will be no more snow and all coastal cities will be underwater. Every five years there's still snow, the coast is still there, and the timeline is pushed back again. Now they've done it so much, and it's such a dead beaten horse, they've stopped calling it global warming. The show even attacks the argument thats it's used to siphon money from gullible idiots. If I recall correctly, this is just a year or two after Trump turned down the Paris accord which called for the USA giving loadsamone to other countries that had no obligation whatsoever in the agreement to meet their stated goals or spend the money the way it was intended to be spent. And then there's the ever present electric car push where nobody seems to give a rat's ass about whether they're charging from a grid using renewable energy or not. They just want to feel better by not producing the pollution right next to themselves. I could keep ranting about how climate alarmism shoots it's own "cause" in the foot and is often hypocritical for hours, but I'll cut to the chase. If you want to stop pollution, most of the "good habits" pushed by global warming climate change advocates are actually good. Reduce, reuse, recycle, and don't fucking litter. But they are a drop in the bucket. What needs to happen and won't happen is a mass boycott of China all of the turd world manufacturing that produces the bulk of the world's pollution. Nobody is going to do that. Most average people can't afford to be green and even if corporations weren't so amoral as to consider any real action out of the question, boycotting pollution production puts them at an economic disadvantage allowing any competition that doesn't do so to overtake and squash them.

>>56480 So you're saying we're fucked and there's nothing we can do?

>>56489 Probably. I'm pretty blackpilled. But while the effects of pollution are fucked and there's little of consequence to be done without social upheaval, how fucked we are by things like the climate is greatly overstated by alarmists begging for money. They predict a million and one super disasters and if any one of them happens they take credit for the prediction Nostradamus style, like they've been doing with hurricanes in recent years.

>>56490 How do you think it'll all end? Floods?

>>56539 I think overpopulation/overcrowding and poison in everything slowly turning everywhere into a 2nd or 3rd world country will be the slow death of modern societies. And no, people in first world countries having less babies isn't the solution. 1st world countries already have the least babies, but they import floods of people from shittier countries with immensely higher birthrates.

Last episode was the best one yet!
