Probably supposed to be a parody of the Christmas Story where an adult Ralphie narrates the whole thing.

Is it anything like those 'bikeshare apps' where within a week everyone's forgotten about them and bikes are literally thrown everywhere and the city has to spend thousands cleaning them up, fishing them out of rivers, etc? (and in China you end up with literal giant piles of discarded bikes)

And how about the part where they cried at the Speedy Gonzales T-shirt? There you have a totally legitimate case of political correctness gone too far - SJW types were complained about him being offensive to Mexicans, and WB stopped airing his cartoons. Then someone got the bright idea to see what actual Mexicans thought, and it turned out they actually liked him.

if actual Mexicans like racist stereotypes of Mexicans in cartoons, they're victims of internalized racism

Speedy Gonzales himself was a positive portrayal I thought, the issue was all the other mexican mice being shown as lazy do-nothings.

Don't you go thinking Slowpoke Rodriguez is a pushover.

Also, the villainous cats at least in one short were also Mexican, so I dunno.

What is making people think "that discussion of SJWs from 2 weeks ago was so great, let's resurrect that instead of using this opportunity to talk about the new episode"

Anyway uh it was p. good


It felt a little "get off my lawn" but I don't think it was supposed to be some big serious critique of scooters. Although there's some point in there about poor people not having the same opportunities when everything is technology-driven.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
This was a pretty fun episode. Horror tropes out of context are always great. Cartman telling Kenny that he knew being poor was going to catch up with him someday is hilarious. What's funny about it though is that even poor people I know still have iphone5s so I think the joke should have been that Kenny could afford a phone just not a monthly 4G plan.

I think I laughed the hardest at the $6000 worth of candy line, followed closely by Mackey's "oh poo poo" when he realized everyone was running off to buy candy.

I live in Taipei and the bicycle program here has stands set up where you can rent them, all over the city. On weekends and holidays they're almost impossible to find, and to return them you have to check them back into a stand otherwise it keeps charging your card(which isn't a credit card but instead your bus/metro pass(which everyone here uses like a debit card)). It's a pretty great system and works well; I've never seen one just casually discarded.

However, back in the U.S., in my hometown we spent a bunch of money to put green bikes all around the city and they ended up in places nobody would want to use, attempted to be sold at pawn shops in neighboring towns, and in various states of destruction.

Pretty good episode. Much better than last halloween episode.

It was bikes where I live. I'm not even necessarily against the idea, but yeah they just literally appeared overnight. No one knew why they were there. No one was ever asked or consulted in the neighborhood if this was cool with us, it was pretty obnoxious. And SO many! I've always wanted to just take one and rip the QC code thing off and just keep it. I'm sure it's illegal, but if you leave a bunch of cheeseburgers littered all over the city and just slap a QR code on them I'm not sure what obligation I have to pay or play along with their business plan and not just eat it instead.

Then some assholes started to cut the brake lines on the bikes which made things much more exciting. I want to see the lawsuit when some poor bastard gets hit by a car when the brakes don't work on the mystery bike.

There have been a few scenes over the years of Cartman's tea parties. A really early one had Clyde Frog insulting him, even though Cartman was doing all the voices.

Why, yes! But maybe I'm just in a really good mood, but this was exactly the type of South Park episode I've been wanting. Kids being kids, no real commentary, like yeah there's 'kids and their drat technology" but it's not like scooters are a widespread thing. They just picked it as the basis to make something ridiculously silly and I thought it worked really well.

The electric scooters here come with a disclaimer you can't ride safely if you're over 200 lbs, and the heavier you are the slower they go, maybe that's not a thing with all of them, dunno!
