Hey my dears. First… sorry for bad english. Aaand sorry for that thread but…
A few weeks ago I start watching SP again. I think it was around season 11 or 12. Then I watch all episodes of S5 until S17/S18. I immediately recognized a change in houmor. The jokes are getting worse and worse with each season after season 16. I was watching an episode from season 18 and I wasnt smiling even once. After this episode I went back to S6 and really laughed my ass off.
Is it just me or is south park not south park anymore?
tbf, The Simpsons definitely took a major nose dive after they lost most of their core writers around S10-12. Now it’s just gone on so long that even those bad years after that look amazing compared to what’s out there in the latest seasons.
Personally, I’ve thought these Paramount+ mini-movies have all been fantastic and some of the best South Park I’ve seen since their early years. I actually have been watching them again this week and wrapped them up with the original movie and it felt like the same style comedy.
For me 19 was solid, 20 was interesting but they got screwed banking too much on the elections + trying to do a 7 days to air style with a running plotline. The tegridy seasons weren’t my cup of tea. I personally liked the more serious specials like COVID that were more narrative based than comedy based, it struck a nerve for me.
