The show also referred to Paramount as a "Skydance capitulation."

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are probably two of the most courageous and talented satirist the world truly needs right now.

Props to them for being one of the only people who views Woke as something else other than just the cringe way of saying “Political Correctness”

Truly admirable and sagacious comedy CHADS!!!

    Ehh, they are funny but they have had some Ls in the past. Two episodes come to mind:

    • Both parties are the same
    • Comparing being trans to identifying as a dolphin.

      They’ve absolutely been on the wrong side before, but they’ve also acknowledged past mistakes. Climate change is a big example.

      We’re all wrong about stuff - and that’s okay. It’s what we do after we learn we’re wrong that matters.

      I grew up in a time and place that had me believing homosexuality was immoral and that white men were being discriminated against by affirmative action. What I believed was wrong, and is not representative of who I am now. But I didn’t have social media or a television network keeping a record of every time I said something awful.

      Bro they’ve done 340ish episodes, they’re going to miss from time to time. 99.5% is pretty damn good.

      If you are comparing the establishment parties in America right now, it is pretty accurate that both parties are the same. They are both beholden to the private Epstein’s class and the corporate lobbying interests that they are bribed with. Not to mention that they are consistently on the wrong side by supporting Israel without a fault and even actively trying to jeopardize the chances of up and coming anti establishment progressive candidates.

      In regards to the dolphin episode, I know the one you are referring to and from my memory it had 0 reference to trans people. It was just about Kyle wanting to play in the NBA and his dad admitting he always wanted to be a dolphin. If you are reading that as a correlation with trans people, that’s on you.

      At least the first one is actually true…

      I mean, both parties (and any party in any place of the world) is the same: a bunch of mythomaniacs, sociopaths, psychopaths, narcissists, kleptomaniacs, pedophiles and murderers who don’t care about the citizens, the people, but only their own pockets and their shitty hedonisms.

      wp:Talk:South Park Republican#Pushing Republican Views

      (my bold)

      Yes they certainly do. Is everyone forgetting what Kyle says at the end of the Bin Laden episode? “America may have its problems, but it’s our home, and if you’re not gonna root for your home team, you might as well get the hell out of the stadium.”

      ​

      Another thing, Bush has been shown a few times on the show. Normally when Bush appear in a popular cartoon, he is made fun of for his incredible stupidity. Bush has NEVER BEEN MADE FN OF ON SOUTH PARK. They rarely give him lines, and when he does speak, Parker and Stone do not make him say anything stupid. This is implicitly pushing a Republican viewpoint on the audience and makes them believe Bush really isn’t all that bad when it is historical fact that he is hands-down the worst American president ever.
