TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 It feels really forced now. It has to be almost done at this point, right? Most of that shit got tied up in a nice little bow this episode. That said, I don't hate that they're all connected this season, I think they're learning how to better write throwback jokes and it'll be a learning process.

That said, I don't hate that they're all connected this season, I think they're learning how to better write throwback jokes and it'll be a learning process. I enjoyed it more early on. I do like that they're willing to mess with their format after so many years. Even though I don't feel like the consistency was a complete success, I thought it was mostly fun.

jerseydave77 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Serious question: If they used anything other than clunky white males as the absurd PC imagery would it have gotten nearly the positive reaction it's getting now? I've been wondering because a lot of places I see commending it have created the very atmosphere being lampooned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Petition to have the title changed to "South Park Season 19" or simply "South Park" Also, thoughts on the episode: It was funny up until the last few minutes. Ending was disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Yes. It's South Park. Maybe I phrased it wrong: would places like Slate who have created the environment they are lampooning be so effusive about it if not handled just like this? I don't think so. I think they would have had a think piece of outrage instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. I think they would have had a think piece of outrage instead. Perhaps, but I don't think Trey and Matt went that route to please publications like Slate. I'd be more inclined to believe they're taking it on the chin and laughing with it because freaking out about it would just reinforce the persona South Park has portrayed of them.

catalinacaper Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The choice of "clunky white males" was sort of the point, right? It lampoons of both sides of the debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'm failing to express my point properly: this isn't to say Tre & Matt didn't intend it this way. My point: The critical acclaim from places that have been the PC police for a decade, the places that have created this atmosphere - I can't imagine that the widespread appreciation of this episode would be coming if the PC Police weren't who they are. Look, I did most of what Matt/Tre do - I like that they push the boundaries and make me think things through a bit while getting a healthy dose of toilet humor. I'm not so into their Libertarian-centric episodes but I've always loved to watch and see where they are going. I can't see the Slates of the internet liking this episode if the PC police were any other group than what we see here. It isn't about Matt/Tre and their choices - its more about the people, like slate, that are being lampooned for their efforts in creating this shit and how suddenly they praise the work. Anyway, I'm failing. It was funny. Dug it. Look forward to the next episode. I wish they'd do more episodes per season again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecayToDeath Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Looks like the element of continuity from last season is happening again. I slow Cosby this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 i was excited to have it back. appreciate that they're still finding new ways to switch things up in their 18th & 19th seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisShane Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I think I'm just worried about them dragging a dead horse through the whole season and then beating it again towards the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
