    This was peak South Park. It covered so many current topics that i just wish it was a 3 episode saga instead of a special.

    It also amazes me how on par with current stuff Trey and Matt are. Baldur’s gate? Miles Morales? this is stuff that real kids are enjoying today and these grown ass dudes are still on it lol

      All them handymen are out of time and space. They don’t typically let big plot threads like that dangle without a future tug.

      That’s what makes South Park so much better than other shows that talk about trends and stay up to date with the current trends and Topics, Matt and Trey and the rest of the team get it. A show like Robot Chicken where they do modern parodies don’t really get or understand the material they work with all the time, and it shows

        Makes perfect sense. They’ve said that South Park is a reflection of who they were and what they were into when they made the thing. When this person got married or died, what TV they were watching, what games they were playing, waiting for the fucking Wii to come out, obsessing over how much the new Indiana Jones movie sucked, sometimes someone comes in with a vacation gone wrong story (see: Zipline, Fuck the Rainforest).

        It all goes into the pot.

      The Billionaire/Handimen MMA fight was on point too. When they went after college was icing on the cake.

      It’s no surprise they know the current things intelligent open minded people stay young and try to stay tuned to the zeitgeist. Best episode in a decade not to detract from other episodes they’ve kept clever. Me and my signif other discuss what this episode does weekly and it hit the nail on the head for us, we were rolling the majority of the episode.

      I’m not too deep into Spider-Man 2, but Miles is starting to piss me off… Also I should probably watch the new Spider-Verse; much like this episode, I’m kinda sick of the multiverse schitck.

      Apparently in the new game, Miles wants to get into their version of NYU to study music tech, and then I remembered, “oh that’s right. His dad is dead.” He probably needs someone to tell him that is a stupid idea. Studying to be a fucking DJ.

      Imagine Disney seeing a 3 episode saga. Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger could get a stroke from blowing so many fuses
