    Worth my time but worse than the other specials honestly

    The panderverse stuff was decent but there were some really boring stretches (mainly the handiman thing, the joke was abundantly clear way too early)

      The handyman stuff felt like the plot line of a regular episode stretched out to fill half the special, and really had nothing to do with the panderverse

      Depends on who you asked. The Handiman joke was the highlight of the special for me. Both tackling the paranoia some people have over AIs replacing them and also making people useless in not knowing physical works they could literally just google it and do it. The joke about handimen becoming rich while the college graduates were struggling really made me laugh since I’m partially in that scenario myself, but it was fun nontheless

        When the handiman/AI plot and Kathleen Kennedy plot converged and it took seconds for the out of work townsfolk to start blaming her for their predicament because she added diversity to films was one of the best jokes of the episode for me and perfectly encapsulated how some grifting YouTubers have presented things.

          Tell me about it. Some of the YouTubers even think the episode was full on shitting the pandering, wokism and Disney as a whole… but they didn’t pay attention to the interaction between Kathleen and Cartman nor the Handimen plot at all.

          Like, Cartman is the physical representation of the people hating the “divisive diversity”… except by them just screeching all the time, making the other side screech too. And at the end, it is true, at this point, both sides are to blame for the state of things. If you don’t like something, just let it go and enjoy the old stuff without consuming the newer product. Let your wallet do the talking… or rather, lack of it, not your social medias.

          … and the handimen plot was hands down the highlight for me in many aspects. People fearmongering AIs eventually taking over their jobs, modern day men not knowing how to do shit, despite having a phone that can tell them what to do… and they refuse to do so, paying high amounts to people “less educated” than them. Not to mention them being out of work too despite being college graduates (ironically my situation lmao)… yet, they also contribute their problem by paying the handimen so much, they eventually become the next Elon Musk and Marc Zuckerberg lol.

          Everyone hyped the Panderverse so much that I’m glad the episode wasn’t just about that plot and had more stuff that is equally true to laugh about

        I loved how Randy asked Siri how to fix the oven door and she gave him exact instructions for how to do it but he still didn’t want to do it
