So if south park is banned, what if any show ever mentions south park. Would this unfold like the degrees of kevin bacon for communist china?

Between Blizzard and the NBA, the latest episode is crazy relevant.

^^^^ It's all good, easily one of the best episodes in years. Codependent Poster posted:They chose the perfect time for that episode with the shitstorm happening with the NBA and China. This actually makes Trey and Matt look principled even if they didn't touch on the Hong Kong situation. I wouldn't be surprised if they revisit the China storyline soon. Looks like they totally regretted it lol

This episode and the ensuing fallout are the best thing they've done since Team America. Matt & Trey are at their best against ruthless dictators. this episode really got me thinking that China must be using 1984 as a How-To guide. scary poo poo.

Pretty much, Xi Jinping had his writings added to China's constitution, the first living person to do that since Mao, essentially and legally making Xi and the Chinese Communist Party one and the same. Insulting one is insulting the other and China has very strict rules about that.

mobby_6kl posted:easily one of the best episodes in years. This is true. But they hadn't done much good since Cock Magic S1808. Hence, best in years. It was a very low bar to clear. It still wasn't a great episode in comparison to the first 18 years of South Park.

This may have been one of the most on-point South Park episodes ever based on what's happened in the week since it aired.

The alternate title sequence was funny once, but is already old. South Park appears to be taking on anti-vaxxers. They've got a great opportunity here and I hope they don't gently caress it up. E- God drat, they'd better be going somewhere with this greased up pig Cartman thing. It feels like it's going to be a lame ripoff of "Tsst". E2- yeah, we did this already.

Yea, I don't care if it's similar in some way to Tsst. Cartman being a pig, greasing himself up and running around naked to avoid getting a shot is loving funny. Also, gently caress the Chinese government.

Act 1 good. Act 2 good, but not as good as act 1. Act 3. Failed to stick the landing. Also character inconsistency. Cartmans mom, in the past, would have forced him to get the immunization. Not what happened in the episode. But they seem to be getting closer. It's like watching an athlete come back from an injury. There are flashes of earlier brilliance but the question remains, can they regain their previous form. So far, the answer is no. I had such a good feeling about this episode, too.

CBJSprague24 posted:The alternate title sequence was funny once, but is already old. I think they might be setting up a joke with that, there are changes to it being made (the dump truck of money was added in this time) I think by the end of the season it's just going to be a montage of all of Randy's atrocities over the past season (because despite what he said to Towlie, I really don't think he's done being hilariously evil.) Waltzing Along posted:Also character inconsistency. Cartmans mom, in the past, would have forced him to get the immunization. Not what happened in the episode. Yeah, that part made no sense even within the context of the episode. Mrs. Cartman wanted her kid to get vaccinated, she'd been trying to get him vaccinated for four years, she just couldn't figure out how to do it. Then suddenly there was a way to get him his shots, but she was against it because ??????. Also, no one in town was really acting like she was a bad mother. They all realized pretty quickly that it was Cartman who was the problem, not her. Everyone was just trying to help fix the situation as quickly as possible because if they didn't the whole town could get sick.

I'd be curious to know when they had this one in the bag because it feels like they were setting up Randy's apology to be to China so he could sell out even further by the end of the episode, but I also feel like maybe I'm just reading into that because of everything that's happened in the past week.

Waltzing Along posted:Act 1 good. I had the opposite view and felt it started slow then built up to get better. A few chuckles here and there for most of the episode then loved the ending. Act 1. Okay, cute, Cartman's a pig. Not the first time they compared him to one, of course. Nice touch with the "My body, my choice" shirt, Cartman. Co-opting other movements as usual. Act 2. Yup, professional hog-tying, saw that coming. Nice callout on China. Even funnier that Cartman registered himself with the Immunization Round-Up as an Orthodox Jew much like he tried to do in order to escape the ICE camp a few episodes back. Act 3. The "artistic" Sharon Cartman punchline got a good long laugh out of me, probably the best they could've done with that setup. I was expecting anaphylaxis instead. I concur though that while they did develop his mom to actually stand up to her son (like she did in "Tsst") they also backslid her to spoil him again by freeing him from the round-up. Just sends a weird mixed message when you're tackling something like immunization where the public health outweighs the personal objections based on misinformation of a minority and their "right" to not immunize. Might've been some of Matt and Trey's libertarian leanings seeping in on that one, given the usual stance from that party on things like drugs and smoking is to deregulate and legalize everything for persons over 18 to enforce "Individual rights", despite something like smoking actually affecting a lot more people than the smoker.

She was actually letting him take a toy out of the toy box each time he DIDN'T get the shot, then freed him from the rodeo, but denied him a toy after she did. Didn't they develop her even more in the iPad episode where she stood up to him? That would be a further backslide from that and Tsst.

They must wish they could somehow will the China episode to be #300, because that's the one people are gonna remember. This one was okay but nothing special. They could've done a lot more with the fallout from Cartman not being vaccinated. Instead they mostly focused on the pig-rustlin' thing, which was definitely funny in its own way, but it was like all of a sudden, the episode was over and they forgot to do a plot.clown shoes posted:I really thought Randy and Ms. Cartman were going to make sweet, sweet love down by the fire. Same. I thought episode 300 was going to have Stan and Cartman become stepbrothers

Finally caught up on all three episodes, quite the fun! Not entirely sure where they wanted to go with the pig thing outside of comparing Cartman with one, but it was very enjoyable. Also I love how they in fact avoid any mentioning of south park as a city and the show in the episodes and the intros, outside of that "gently caress South Park" bit in the car, which fits to their cancel Southpark thing from last time.

That's nuts. Cartman barely talks to Stan anymore, let alone Randy - the only episode I remember Cartman and Randy talking even somewhat was Bloody Mary. Liane was onscreen more often in the earlier seasons and Randy got more screen time later in the show - and frankly there's no in-character reason for them to ever speak.
