well, maybe. but i'm looking at it like, manbearpig (climate change) is obviously real and we should have listened to al gore because he was totally right from the beginning. but they add a little spin for conservatives, like, making him such a goofy douche that you can't even blame them for not believing him. ultimately the joke is on conservatives for denying something that's killing people right in front of their faces.

same thing with the ultra-casual reaction to school schootings. who do you think is getting goofed on there?

plus PC principal is the hero of the show now. he's the good guy. he does everything right and he saved the town from the ads by kickboxing them in siberia or something. how is that a joke on liberals? he's the hero

so pc babies we'll say is a joke on liberals, which other jokes were goofing on liberals this season, do you think?

and btw, wanting to check if you're about to build a hotel on top of an ancient indian burial ground isn't PC or babyish, it's just smart. watch some horror movies and get back to me on who you think is the dumb one in that situation

wtf did i just watch

lol that was pretty good....loved Butters' bike...when he peacocked, I LOL'd

I thought the last three episodes were pretty weak. The season started out pretty strong but overall this was one of the worst seasons that I can recall.

Not sure what to say to that other than it proves my previous post correct. If you watch the show through your own rose colored glasses, all the jokes that fit your ideology will land hard and all the jokes that go against your ideology will either:

1. go over your head because you don't even understand any other point of view
2. you'll find some rationalization for why it's not funny or wrong and ignore it
3. you'll do some mental gymnastics to convince yourself that a joke actually supports your ideology in some way

Wow can't even come up with one

Dude, what?

You either have to have just started watching SP a few years ago or be a complete ****ing sociopath who sniffs his own farts (which, you know, is a thing that douche SF liberals did IN SOUTH PARK) to think liberals aren't taken to task just as much as if not more than conservatives.

The last few years has leaned more right because Donald Trump is our President and conservatives haven't helped themselves much in other areas- the one you brought up, their response to shootings, being a good example. Trey & Matt hate everything about modern celebrity liberalism, and someone watching their material and thinking they are beyond parody is exactly the type of thing they would make fun of.

Solid season, much better than the last few, I liked the introspective bit on the bridge, they're clearly aware how far removed they are from their best stuff.

I liked the way they ended the episode.

Butters’ peacock bike moment was ****ing hilarious.

just saw this gif in another non-survivor thread. anyone remember what was happening? i can't even remember who these people are, but i have a terrible survivor memory.

They just saw Butters' bike

I think you posted in the wrong thread but the people are Corinne, Matty and Sugar and they're reacting to Jeff telling them that Marcus was voted out at the last tribal council.

A+ response. My bad for wrong thread.

lol @ not noticing South Park bashing liberals as much, probably more, than anyone other political group for literally decades. (FWIW the creators of the show have expressed their feelings about this on more than one instance.)

Anyway, this season seems like an improvement over the prior two. It feels a little weird that they didn't do an episode every single week, like usual, but they've been doing the show for 22 years, so a slow down makes sense.

Ten episode seasons are a let down - either they're doing great and you want more, or they're floundering and there's no time to dig out from the hole. Take this season as an example - I feel it was on strong footing, but now poof, just like that it's over. I get that ten has been the number for five years now, but I sure wish they could go back to 14 like they had for nearly a decade before that. Even four more episodes would go a long way.

I thought some episodes had good potential but lacked execution. Generally enjoyed them, though.

I did quite enjoy the ending of the gun and global warming episodes.

sure the last 20 years, but i was talking about lately. like, in the show you were watching, who was the villain in the labor union versus jeff bezos storyline?

when the injured amazon employee was organizing workers for fair treatment, which jokes on the workers landed most, for you?

I for one think SP has been very fair about what groups/people it satirizes in terms of the political spectrum, and also for not just always going after the lowest hanging fruit.

for a show that rips on liberals 70% of the time and conservatives 30% of the time i thought it was interesting that they portrayed mr garrisson as president trump watching the bike parade while in handcuffs in front of the police station. i'm sure there was a lot of subtext there, about like hillary clinton and uranium and stuff, that you guys read into it perfectly but for me it went way over my head.

new theory: russia is using the internet to sow political division in the US by intercepting and digitally altering episodes of south park so that 70% of the jokes conservatives see are on liberals. like in the episode you guys watched, garrisson was twirling a pair of handcuffs menacingly while glaring at colin kapernik

Dude you're still hung up on this? The creators of the show say they make fun of liberaltards slightly more often than conservatards. Just let it go, they don't see politics the way you do. They're not on your team. Some people don't pick teams.

i'm pointing out stuff from the current season of the show that we're talking about, like the last episode. you're referencing comments they made 20 years ago. the show has changed over the last 20 years; they've evolved.

i agree they still take the piss out of liberals, but nowhere near a 70-30 balance, not anymore anyway. there are only so many pc babies bits they can crowbar in there

i think in general, even if they were politically neutral, that would mean making fun of whoever is currently in power — that’s how satire works. so i don't think its unreasonable to say this season they made fun of conservatives more than liberals. especially if you look at the episodes themselves.

i also think a quote from 2001 is entirely meaningless. not like anything in politics has changed since then or anything

If you need something more recent, then how about when Matt and Trey said ""We're republicans." ... "No, seriously, we're republicans." when accepting an award from a progressive group.


South Park creators reveal they are REPUBLICANS at an awards event

Ya, if anyone made their kinda money tho they'd be republicans too or they'd be an idiot.
