It was just phenomenal. Everything. Meta jokes; social commentary; genuinely funny. Great “episode”/special.

      It’s by far the best South Park in recent history, maybe one of the best ever.

      But I’m just a guy who doesn’t know how to do shit, and I didn’t even get ripped off by college.

      If you’ll help me fix my guitar though, I’ll give you marketing in trade though.

    I think I’m just over the woke and diversity inclusion arguments from both sides, so the jokes and commentary didn’t feel fresh.

      I thought they did a good job addressing that aspect as well in a meta way … towards the end after the boys have been bitching about multiverses being lazy shit writing I believe Kyle says something like " yeah but maybe complaining about it all of the time is lazy shit writing too"

        It’s fine, I’m just sick of the topic. I enjoyed Randy and the other men not knowing how to do anything because they became complacent, and the AI stuff, and the multiverse fatigue.

        One thing that went over my head though is why the kids were all older in the other reality.

          More relatable probably, as ‘appeals to everyone’ is the goal there? Target market likely identifies more overall with teenagers/young adults. Or young adults playing teenagers.

        Wow, a South Park episode that ends in the characters saying out loud that both sides are dumb and nothing matters. Bleeding edge social satire

          Frankly it does feel fresh lol. You don’t get many media products talking about the topic that aren’t definitively on one side or the other.

          ​

          Something making jokes about both and being like, “Don’t know who’s right here’s some funny shit.”, is unusual nowadays.

      Yeah this is the thing I’m worried about before watching it. I felt like after seeing the poster the jokes would be very predictable. I’m hoping I’m wrong though

        Hope that cleared things up for you.

    Agreed, I’ve been really bored of South Park since the Pandemic specials this felt like a return to form tbh.

    I agree, super awesome special. I actually let out hearty belly laughs at the scene with Cartman in alternate Butter’s room, and when they called alternate Cartman a fat hoe at the end for killing Kenny. Recent South Park hasn’t given me many belly laughs, but this had a few!

      This may be my sign to just drop the show. I’ve been watching it since Day 1, but it’s largely sucked for me ever since they decided to make Randy a key focus and force Tegridy Farms down our throats.

      This special was okay, but I also think it was still a far cry from older episodes. No laugh out loud moments from me, just more of the same shit we’ve had for a few years now.

      Glad others are enjoying it, but yeah, I really don’t understand how any of you think this even remotely compares to what we had before.
