Dumpster fire of crap episode
The characters voices were rough to listen to. It seemed like Trey or Matt had a cold while recording the episode?
They should really go back to focusing on their own self-contained stories, like in earlier seasons, instead of constantly parodying real-world events. Things move so fast nowadays to the point where this episode already felt dated by the time it was released.
Absolutely terrible episode, didn't even smirk once. This show has gone really downhill it seems.
I miss the great episodes like imagination land, make love not war and such. They don't make them like they used to that's for sure.
Bad start to a new season
Banger. Can’t wait for more bashing on current Hollywood.
My favorite adult animation show making fun of with my favorite rapper. Brutal to watch LMAO.
[7.1/10] I’ll admit that I was a little leery about this one. But I thought it did an admirable job of delving into how stereotypes and antisemitism can divide and hurt people, with bad actors causing harm by spreading bullshit even when the people involved know it’s not true. There’s some nuance and humanity there, which isn’t always something latter day South Park can capture.
The show takes sufficient aim at Kanye’s break through all of this. I’ll confess that I’d mostly forgotten about Carmtan’s “Cupid Me”, but that was an amusing means to poke fun at the rapper-turned-nut-turned-antisemite. The bits about him masking his hatred in religious fervor, his “Just trying to help” attitude sliding quickly into Nazism, and badly needing to take his meds are all on target.
And somewhat surprisingly, there’s some good laughs here. South Park has a mixed record when it comes to humor involving Jewish stereotypes. But people treating Kyle specifically like he runs Hollywood, and doing everything from pitching him movies about a guy with guns for hands to complaining about the Lord of the Rings prequels is an amusing bit. The comic irony of him eloquently explaining the problem with stereotypes about Hollywood, to where they decide to put him in charge of it, makes for a very funny capper to the whole thing. (And even the credits have some fun with the idea.)
Overall, this isn’t the knockout punch of humor or insight South Park might have been able to deliver in its glory years. But its takes are on point; the laughs are there, and it brings more complexity to the issues and the effect a rise in bigotry has on individuals than I might have expected.
Ugh. I don't follow news about celebs so the whole Ye thing was lost on me til someone explained it and it still wasn't funny.
Great episode! It definitely had some themes reminiscent of some from classic South Park episode and some new ideas. Great execution.
I think it's great to see Kyle and Tolkien hang out together and develop that friendship. And with Stan (hopefully) on board at the end, that could make a neat trio. As with past seasons theming around the four boys not being as close as they were before, this episode has me worried similarly. It seems like Stan doesn't even want much to do with Cartman, when he said "Don't talk to me anymore." That's not unusual, just more in focus.
I'm excited for this season and what it has to bring. I certainly hope it's more than 6 episodes, but something tells me it's going to be just like last year. Anyways, I'm glad they're trying new things with South Park. This episode was a win for sure!
Kyle for president (of Hollywood)
