    Matt and Trey are killing it this season. And the best part is they own the IP so they can tell Paramount/Skydance to go fuck themselves at their leisure.

          Didn’t Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report die? I thought Stephen Colbert of Late Night tried to bring that Stephen Colbert in for a segment and Viacom threw a hissy fit.

            Maybe now that they’re canceling him he can bring it back. Unless Paramount owns it through Comedy Central even after all these years…

          If only Justin Sane didn’t turn out to be a POS. Could really use Anti-Flag right about now.

        The first seasons that had ongoing story arcs were great IMO. But I’m also someone who hates/hated early south park.

      I agree, though I’m not yet sure if it’s the show being different than it was a decade or so ago or me being different.

      I agree. Ironically it’s hitting hard with a lot people that stopped watching it and came back for the Trump stuff.

      The ironic part being that it’s funny to people because of nostalgia and not really the jokes I think. Because it’s really fucking lazy imo. Like, is the Sadam/Satan and using that voice anything but just trying to hit the “remember this” really hard? Its not creative or really making a point. Though people try to act like it is.

      South Parks previous mockery with the 'member berries could literally be used to criticize how a lot of liberals are taking “comfort” in it. Seeing it as a “this too shall pass” and that we’ll somehow return to normal in 2028 or something.

      I have no problems with people that enjoy it. But it’s not funny to me AND i see it not moving the needle at all in getting people to do anything to resist these fascist. So I really can’t appreciate it on literally the two things people act like it’s doing.

    As a Canadian, the moment they went to paramount, the show was basically done. It disappeared from syndication and every other platform. And after all the tegridy farms stuff, I got bored of the show.

    This trump stuff is the only South Park I’ve seen in years

    How could you even compare South Park to the Simpsons?

    The Simpsons is sometimes political. South Park is always highly political.
