A subtle joke I catched on a rewatch was when Kyle's mom went to the woman's house and she started crying, she went What, what.. what? her catchphrase used in a different tone.

Gosh, the member berries really didn't have much payoff, did they? They couldn't seem to decide whether Trump was elected because of trolling, nostalgia, or both. I'm sure you can figure out a link between the two if you think hard enough, but they didn't really make a strong case for it, only hinted at it. Kind of like last season where you could kind of connect the dots between gentrification and advertising and political correctness and Yelp reviews if you squinted hard enough, but you also got the sense that maybe they were just BSing and there wasn't a link at all. I did get a kick out of the squabble over different types of satire, though. More of that, please.

Would anyone else not be surprised if they scrapped Garrison as Trump altogether next year (almost as a joke) if they're really abandoning the serialization? I'd actually find the first scene of next season being the kids in the classroom with "Ohkaaaaay children, let's take our seats", following a nonsensical lesson about something based off TV to be funnier than this season altogether. It sounds unlikely until you remember that this is the show that killed a character on a weekly basis, only for him to return the next episode every time until Season 6. Sir Lemming posted:I did get a kick out of the squabble over different types of satire, though. More of that, please. That to me felt like they were using the show as a mouthpiece to make one last gasp to justify how bad the season was while also saying "No, this was dumb", though I'd have to hear it again. Lyer posted:I thought it was pretty symbolic of trolling in general, you do all this horrendous poo poo without any consequence. That's not just trolling, that's 21st Century celebrity. Look at Ryan Lochte in Rio; he hopped the first plane back to the US after his bullshit story had holes poked in it, his teammates took the fall, and the result was the story led his TV series to have a marathon and he wound up on Dancing With The Stars, both of which had to pay a decent bit as a result of him being a shithead.

If South Park is going to remind me that Donald Trump is President, the least it can do is be funny while doing so.

Speaking of, I'm pretty sure that Kenny had one single line this season, and it was in this episode. He had less presence in this season than he did in the season where he was supposed to be dead forever.

Garbage finale for a garbage season. Like, what was it all for? Been watching South Park since the very beginning and have enjoyed every season, but this one was just painfully unfunny and I can see myself skipping it whenever I watch through old seasons every now and then.

I would be ok with Garrison still being President but also the teacher. Thry could actually fill out a decent epsiode of him trying to do both jobs. Edit: the kids know he wont be able to grade their book reports if he is dealing with a diplomatic crisis, so Cartman and an unwilling Butters have to provoke an international incident.

I actually liked most of the season, but feel like there is absolutely no closure with this final episode. What's the deal with memberberries? What happened with Cartman, why did he become such a "good guy" all of a sudden? This feels like Lost all over again. They started a million intrigues and they couldn't conclude quickly enough. I, for one, am thoroughly disappointed by this finale. I mean come on, I was at least expecting something as insane as "Scot Tenorman Must Die" when it comes to Cartman's story.

I have to wonder how much was actually changed with Trump winning. I'm the first half they were all in on trolling, member berries, and girls being funny. Garrison as Trump was just like a holdover from last season they had to acknowledge. I wish they would release an explanation of where they had planned to go with it. Also nobody is discussing the *best* season but I have no desire to watch any episode from this one again. This is the only season to not have even one episode I loved and want to rewatch. So yes it's definitely the worst.

I still find it surprising that anyone thinks this was a good season. I rank it as the worst, in large part because it is the only one I wanted to end ASAP. Realistically, it is among the bottom four. I challenge anyone to name 4 seasons that were worse than this one. And if you are going to do this, please state whether you have watched the entire run and when you started watching. The other three among the four worst are: 2, 3 and 16. 16 wasn't even all that bad, but in comparison to pretty much everything else, it was full of turds. 2 and 3 are all over the place and just don't hold up over time very well at all. If you move out to 5 worst seasons, then you can add S4, as well. All my opinion, of course. FWIW, I started watching during S1, have watched through at least 3 times and haven't missed an episode since S5E1. S3 and S4 I was pretty out of it doing other things like not watching TV or staying inside.

At least other seasons you could watch a bad ep or two, but still hold out some hope that next weeks would hit form. This season never had a chance, as barely any of the episodes had any individuality. Whenever they did a 2 or 3 past episode, it usually felt like it was something too big for one episode but not enough for the time they gave it. This just compounded the issue across a whole season.

I genuinely followed along but Eric's plot line just fizzles and the way he was acting annoyed at Heidi of all people just really upset me because now I am afraid for her. She's gonna end up trapped in a fridge, eating her parents on her birthday.

The only good gag I really laughed at this season was Gerald having to get pissed on to keep his secret hidden. That and maybe the Rick Roll the first time, because it was so stupid and predictable but so well-timed.

I feel like a freak for this, but I thought the episode was a middling-to-okay episode of South Park. It was an underwhelming finale and lovely conclusion to this lovely season, but I giggled at a few things at least. I thought the ending for the memberberries was that Trump Garrison filled his office jobs and Cabinet with them. They got into the White House, and he's letting them stick around with that scene where he's addressing them all in the Oval Office.

The problem with this season wasn't that any of the individual episodes were bad (I don't think any episode this season would place in the bottom twenty of all South Park episodes), it was that there were no GOOD episodes. Even season 3 had like "Chinpokemon," for instance. Season 20 overall is the third worst season of south park imo (season 16 being the worst and season 15 being second worst)

Of the three stories, the Cartman one fell flat, Garrison kind of ended up where we are now, and the troll story was at least concluded and had a funny enough final joke. But I definitely prefer the episodes to have more individual identity. I can't blame them for wanting to try something new after all these years, and there were some fun individual jokes, but I hope next season is different.

Waltzing Along posted:I still find it surprising that anyone thinks this was a good season. I agree this was a bad season, but considering you've been watching since season 1 (myself as well), I'm honestly surprised you consider season 2 to be one of the worst. I'm the complete opposite, I think season 2 probably has held up over time among the best of them. In my opinion, it sits within classic status and some of my favorite episodes of all time are from that season. It was the first season I felt like the show really started to come into it's own, and probably the only season that really gave off a subtle darkness and eeriness that later seasons have tried to revisit from time to time, but never felt as genuine since. Tastes are subjective, so I'm not saying you're wrong to feel that way, I just find it surprising. Even Matt and Trey have said it was one of their best seasons. King Vidiot posted:The only good gag I really laughed at this season was Gerald having to get pissed on to keep his secret hidden. Agreed. I said it before, but even if this season goes on to be considered the worst ever, at least it gave us that scene. "Am I doing it right, Gerald?" while the kids looked on horrified is one of the funniest moments this show has ever produced. However, I was surprised by the missed opportunity to throw back to the "Pee" episode, where exposure to "pee contamination" turned everyone into dangerous, hate-filled mutants. Could have made sense within the context of Gerald's trolling or the Trump election, etc.

I was a bit disappointed when Sheila gave in and trolltraced Gerald. It would have been a nice touch to show her just trusting her husband in the midst of all this. Anyway, the season was not a good one. Definitely not the worst (that was 12 for me, between The China Problem and Pandemic I was seriously considering dropping the show), but I wouldn't want to see another one like it. I can't blame them for experimenting though, and I think that the next one will probably sit between 18 and 19 in terms of how serialized the episodes will be.

I mostly just watch Soutn Park when my friends watch it so I only got bits and pieces of the season but goddamn, was what I saw awful. I would love it if South Park never tackled serialized formats, the concept of safe spaces and social justice, and actually just anything to do with the Internet, really, ever again. And hopefully is forgotten.
