Really overplaying these weed “specials” episodes
Funniest episode of the season so far.
[2.0/10] This was pretty putrid. The attempts to examine sexual assault through the lens of St. Patrick’s Day pinching and poor Butters was dead on arrival, with worse results the longer it went on. The efforts to address misplaced grievances from white people and cultural appropriation via the holiday were almost as bad. What the show’s trying to say with all of this is pretty muddled, but none of it seemed good.
The only funny parts here were Cartman’s dead-eyed flat affect over the “fun” of St. Patrick’s Day, and poor Stan’s disbelief that his dad didn’t catch onto their obvious ruse to get him his weed whilst in jail. It’s telling that these bits had little to nothing to do with the main plots.
Otherwise, this was a lowlight not just for the season or the era of the show, but for the show as a whole. This whole season has been wildly up and down, but it goes out on a real low note.

Good episode! I like how the episode is reminiscent of classic Randy and classic Butters episodes. I like it when these two interact. I also really liked how music from South Park: The Stick of Truth was featured.
The only hang-up I have with this episode is the Tegrity Farms story. I feel like there have been way too many Tegrity Farms holiday specials, and I don't find it fresh anymore. I don't think Tegrity Farms should be taken out of the show, just maybe featured less.
