SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Repeating the same joke over and over in an episode has always been a staple/flaw of South Park and this was one of the worst examples, with Mr. Hankey repeatedly going off and then using the ambien defense. How many times did it repeat? I lost count. It doesn't help that it wasn't funny to begin with. Not to mention "They're so PC" - that got real old real fast. Jubs posted:People who we thought were good were actually pieces of crap this whole time. Look at Cosby. Except there was nothing to suggest that that's what they were going for - it felt like they had just outright ignored Mr. Hankey's previously established personality, switching it out for what they needed for the current episode with no explanation whatsoever.

My parents vape. They claim vaping is healthier than smoking cigarettes because “it’s just water vapor”. I keep telling them that’s not true, that it’s just as unhealthy as cigarettes, but they never listen.

The intro to Bojack says it's a Netflix show, so I don't think there's any room for ambiguity. I liked this one. Felt like old school South Park. I first thought there was some weird contradiction when Randy started taking school shootings seriously in the beginning, but when he becomes a weed dealer and is oblivious to his family's suffering, it's clearly just more evidence of him becoming a tool.

I wonder if they deliberately timed this one to air on the same day it's nationally legalized in Canada. If this is a two-parter, it could be a good excuse to bring in some flappy-headed guy-buddy-friends from up north.

Best episode of the season. I didn't get the Ronan Farrow joke, or is there nothing to it beyond him being a reporter? The way Randy says 'Shelley' will never not be funny.

Hankey episode had some good chuckles but didn't really make sense if you thought about it for more than 2 seconds. Whatever point they were making was better made when they compared PC-ness to gentrification a few seasons back. Tegridy episode was much better. Hard not to laugh at Randy getting in on all the farmer tropes. PaybackJack posted:
He's been leading the charge in exposees that take down big names with sexual assault allegations, such as Harvey Weinstein. To the point that when it was announced that he was about to release an article about CBS president Les Moonves, he pretty much immediately resigned (or sort-of-resigned at least) and they started scrambling to do investigations and stuff.

Now that you mentioned it, it does seem like the timing was intentional, however that also implies the good and bad of the hyper-topical nature of the show: - allowing them to tackle issues in less time than the other animated shows (which take several months to get a single episode to air) - making it seem like they procrastinate so hard that they took a current event and rolled it into an episode on short notice. I mean I agree that it all worked out in the end....  PaybackJack posted:I didn't get the Ronan Farrow joke, or is there nothing to it beyond him being a reporter?

FuriousxGeorge posted:I will never understand moral busybodies who like to police adult humor for offensiveness. Do you think that's the same as insisting it's okay to call somebody a human being? Because this show does both, and only one of them is actually offensive to a group of people. Only one of them is acting offensively to attack a group of people. Do you see the difference? Do you get that telling trans people they're the same as people who want to be black and tall is not the same as a fictional character feeding another fictional character his parents? Do you see the vast chasm between these two things? Waltzing Along posted:Tonights episode is about butters selling vape pens to kids at school. Didn't they do a smoking episode before?

In a show that opens with a warning screen to tell you that they are intentionally being offensive, it's all the same. If you are too sensitive to hear the word human being then don't watch it. If you think they are actually transphobic then don't watch it. Lording your supposed moral superiority over people while you sit around in the same sewer with them is just pathetic. The biker episode was fantastic.

You're acting like it's impossible to complain about South Park and still watch it. You can appreciate elements of it and still wish that a lot of it was better. Or you can flat out be a hate watcher. That doesn't get into how this show has done really good offensive satire in the past, and it's completely okay when they screw up to say, "Okay, this sucks, step it up guys."

If you are too sensitive to hear the word human being Do you not get how it's different to hear a word, and to hear a show tons of people wrongly base their political views on tell people that it's perfectly fine to call people a human being while wildly misunderstanding why it's not okay? They're very different concepts. Basically, in the 90s, a lot of people were like, "hey, maybe we shouldn't be racist or sexist or homophobic or transphobic, as a people. Maybe that shouldn't be acceptable." Then a bunch of people like Rush Limbaugh got together and acted like those people were saying things they weren't, and this worked like gangbusters and is absolutely still happening. I love violent movies. I love swearing. I love sex and nudity in movies and TV and books. I'm having this argument in the Always Sunny thread too, sorta', because that show portrays all manner of terrible behavior without coming down on the side of condoning said behavior or launching into "triggered snowflakes are too offended by poo poo" tirades only rich cishet white dudes and Tina Fey lean towards and it's easily one of my favorite shows of all time. People call Always Sunny offensive, but it never is. It never has been, really. Its heart has always been in the right place, because while it shows lovely people doing lovely things and jokes about cancer, rape, murder, pedophilia, and regularly portrays bigotry, the show doesn't take the stance that it's the privileged who are the real victims. Do you get the difference here? Basically, if you're still acting like people are too offended by jokes, you're not getting what's actually offensive and what isn't. Edit: I'd be remiss if I didn't add that what's frustrating about liking South Park is that a lot of the time, the show will come down on the right side of poo poo and be funny, but a lot of the time it comes down on the wrong side of the poo poo while also not being particularly funny. I've seen every episode of the show. I'm not hate-watching it. I just hope each week that the rich white men who make it can pull their heads out of their rear end and be empathetic in ways they've shown they can be. I criticized them for that trans dolphin tall black man poo poo, but a few years later they had Garrison explain to the school staff exactly why you shouldn't call cis people "normal," because it implies trans people aren't normal, and they didn't do it in a way that dismissed Garrison's point.

How, exactly, do you think despots rise to power by scapegoating the marginalized through the whole of history, including literally right now in America and Europe and so many other places? Edit: By the way, in large part due to the popularity of art and culture that demonized queer people, I absolutely called things I didn't like gay and people I didn't like faggots as a means of fitting in to protect myself so I wouldn't have to be a part of the targeted group when I was a kid before I had the courage to be myself publicly.
