Honestly, fuck those assholes. They played a non-insignificant role in getting us where we are right now with their “enlightened centrist” both sides, edgy 4chan humor bullshit
Ignoring the ridiculousness of the politically correct wouldn’t have kept the republicans from winning.
You thinking it does really gives you away, as someone so delusional, so misled by monied interests playing you, that speaking to you bears as much fruit as speaking with a maga diehard.
No offense.
ManBearPig
Yes, they did fire in all directions and some of there jokes did not age well. What is your point? Are you suggesting that they are evil because they were not 100% correct all the time?
(also iirc for that specific episode they did a correction 10 years later. )
no offense but you’re running cover for some vile transphobes
There is no context for this, how so? I’m not running cover for anyone, are you saying by talking about southpark? Whom decided that watching/talking about/discussing south park was “running cover for vile transphobes?”
Sounds like obscuring the issue with emotional arguments and slander to cancel the argument without addressing the point. It works with bigotry because everyone feels like they have to go on the defensive even without merit, or context. So what evidence backs up your bigotry accusation, and if without merit would it not be you running cover/helping transphobes by making bad faith accusations for other reasons and therefore discrediting the movement that makes real and credible accusations?
The dolphinoplasty episode is extremely vile transphobia. These are the kind of jokes you’re talking about when you say they make fun of political correctness
So everyone commenting on southpark is “running cover for transphobes,” because you condemned that episode, got it.
Or just the ones that disagree with you in effect I presume.
yeah, south park creators are vile transphobes, as that episode clearly demonstrates and therefore everyone running cover for their show is running cover for vile transphobes.
However it so clearly is not just that episode. Which is what I meant by “these (plural) are the kinds of jokes”. The visual style chosen for mrs. garrison is the plainest “man-in-a-dress” transphobic trope and it was on for seasons.
the “mr. slave” homophobia??? “Lol gay people loving shoving stuff up their ass” Like come on. It’s all edgy 4chan humor.
How about you come up with some witty well-deserved jokes they made up about the “politically correct” crowd?
Edit: “so you think <extreme bad faith simplification of what you said>. Got it” is such a childish response, like, yeah you got me I clearly am sooo stupid, thank god for mr anticancel culture warrior here (yes I am “assuming your gender”, guess how…) being so above it all and ready to set them essjaydubbleyous straight
Isn’t that convenient, well case closed. Thanks for letting us know! Here we were all unaware of the conviction for bigotry you returned in secret and have used to condemn everyone that disagrees with you on this subject.
ngl I miss the days of Mr. Hankey and Mecha Streisand.
And the multipart episodes like Imaginationland, Black Friday and Go God Go
Now that “Anti-woke” ideology has been revealed as a psyop by the Epstein files, I’m very curious to see if Trey Stone and Matt Parker will choose to reckon with their own contributions or if they’ll double-down.
Anti PC culture was already around for a long time, it just got tossed into overdrive with the 4chan Epstein stuff, they’re pretty self aware though, so we’ll see
Yep. I remember the film PCU quite well. It was a very nineties sentiment in some circles to push back against “political correctness.” IIRC Matt and Trey at one point had to explain to people in the early days that they weren’t conservatives, it was just that they felt that “liberals” tended to be easier to make fun of most of the time (particularly self-righteous celebrities).
One of their season one stories was joining in on the War On Christmas BS.
so they write an episode about some of their classmates getting abducted to be used at krasnov’s pleasure dome? that is not a fun episode to write.
I mean, they already wrote an episode where some of the kids met up with adults because they thought it was something else (and it was actually some adult shit)
Edit: Episode name of “Cartman joins NAMBLA”
that was like 20 years ago tho
How dare you make me feel old
The Super Adventure Club episode exploded into my brain halfway through One Battle After Another when they drop “The Christmas Adventurers Club” on me like a nuclear warhead.
I seem to be the only one confused by this - what leak? Is it just a typo?
A leak is when something is released without authorisation? So far the only information is authorised releases of the files with lots of stuff redacted, and allegations there is more being held back. Has there been a leak too?
There were a couple instances where they accidentally released unredacted versions of files before they realized and replaced them with redacted versions, but that’s all I can recall off the top of my head. One instance of that occured last week.
I think there may have been some documents released without authorization before, but I can’t recall when, just a vague recollection.
This meme looks like those scummy mobile game ads lol 😂
All it’s missing is the little x that brings up the app store instead of closing the ad
And the actual x pops up ten seconds after the decoy x, and its only 2px in diameter on a touch screen interface
What’s the point of satire if it can’t keep up with how bizarre reality has become?

That was a thing during the first Trump administration. Comedians were complaining because anything Trump did would immediately be pale in comparison to what he did next. Just one really stupid thing after another.
For my next act - nuclear holocaust!!
Satire right now is funny when it’s normal.
LOOK, A DAY WITH NO NEWS, HOW FUNNY
I recognize that that type of comment is supposed to be a joke (and I’ll react accordingly, because I’m not a buzzkill), but it absolutely isn’t actually funny (ha-ha) for me.
Oh definitely. But it’s hard to be funny at all right now. Because “ice murders entire retirement home” is too believable in the same way that “rental cars full of ice agents visit retirement home and does good deeds all day and nothing terrible happens” isn’t.
This is why the creators of Veep ended their show.m when Trump got elected.
They need an episode with a disclaimer the whole time that this actually happened. It wouldn’t be a fun episode though.
Like their Episode about Scientology?
lol ive never seen this version of the mining meme
Couldn’t they just animate literally any white house press conference and call it a day?
I mean, the oval office meeting where Trumpy pooped his pants is a good place to start.
Love a good crap-out!
Yes. The show has been writing itself since 2016.
It’s kinda been writing itself from the very start. There are always enough weird, funny and fucked up things going on to make episodes about. I think it’s just harder now because of how quickly everything happens and how much there is to choose from.
Theres a super cool documentary call something like 6 days to air where you see the creative process of a south park episode.
The tldw is that they start with nothing on the Monday and write, animate and record the whole thing by the Saturday air time.
It’s the same sentiment with The Onion and Black Mirror. Having to take a step back because reality is too absurd
Yeah, like, what’ll they do with all that “eating infant intestines” material.
Life has become too surreal to have any hope of parodying. I’ve “eaten the onion” at least 4 times in the past 12 months.
Eating the onion is when you believe satire is real, what is it called when you see real and believe it has to be satire?
At this point it’s called cope.
Not the onion
But there should be a better name.
Barfing the onion???

I sure hope whatever they come up with will be better than AI slop.
TBF that AI video of Trump trudging through the desert is top tier.
It was mostly practical effects afaik: https://www.thewrap.com/south-park-how-naked-trump-scene-was-created-not-ai/#%3A~%3Atext=Many+assumed+after%2Cwas+it+practically
Many assumed after the “South Park” Season 27 premiere aired that its entire climactic sequence was created using AI. The new BTS images, however, reveal that not only was it practically filmed, but the micropenis featured in it was really Parker’s finger.
Haha that’s a great pic
Cartman should freak out about it while no one else cares.
Then Stan tells him they won’t be held accountable and it’s never brought up again.
Alternatively, Cartman is in the files (because Epstein used his paint the walls in shit revenge service to prank one of the actual visitors to the island) and when told he can make the girls do anything he wants, he gets one to make fun of Kyle on video, where he is clearly being an asshole to her.
And Butters is also in the file because they tried to recruit him after he went viral for What, What, In the Butt, which Cartman latches on to and spends the whole episode trying to help Butters clear his name (so that he can clear his own name in the process).
Also Randy is on the list because he was trying to get them to sign Tegrity Farms up as their official weed supplier and he spends the episode trying to supress the information entirely but gets Streisand effected hard, leading to the follow up episode where Trump tries to pin the whole thing on Randy (and everything else, too, and starts bringing up shit that isn’t even public). In the end, Randy gets “one of the harshest punishments ever given to a rich person”: a fine for $3.50, and everyone realizes that it wasn’t a judge presiding over the case, but a 3-story crustacean known as the Lochness Monster and the episode ends with everyone getting together to yell at Nessie (and the incident is never mentioned again).
There’s enough material for a whole season.
You expect South Park, which is owned by two Jews, on the Paramount network, which is owned by Larry Ellison, an ultra Zionist, to make episodes about an Israeli blackmail operation? Shitting on Trump or drawing Muhammad is one thing, but as South Park days, “Either everything but one thing is OK, or nothing is like that one thing.”
What the fuck are you on about?
Have you ever seen South Park?
If citing like 5 different things from South Park lore wasn’t enough, let me include another. This is their chance to #CancelSouthPark even if they were just on Viacom Comedy Central, but being a Paramount show now makes it that much worse.
They have the rights to stream the show…they don’t produce it
Joined a month ago. Down voted to shit.
Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad. But you’re probably a bot.
Not a Bot I’m a real emdash boy With a Fully grown emdash Human heart Bake at 350°
I see where you were going with that, and it’s close to funny. Like… The margarine of funny. I can’t believe it’s not humor. Half the calories, half the taste. Hu-less, as it were.
Do you smell toast? Can you feel your left arm?
I’m afraid that we are in a point where reality is much worse and bizarre than anything Parker and Stone could imagine.
I was watching Jam the other day, and that honestly seemed better and more rational than reality. South Park has been a documentary for a long time.
Did you see last season? I’d say they step up to the challenge well.
I like the scene with Noem offing the puppy shelter at the end that did not aire in the US at first.
Her face by the way, she takes it off every night and soaks it in a jar of that shit the rich extract from trafficked children in the Q thing, what’s that called.
Turns out Q was true if you just reverse all the accusations.
I haven’t seen the show in years. The last thing I remember are those nostalgic berries or whatever.
In the latest season Trump is an abusive boyfriend to Satan, who he has knocked up. Some episodes are about him treating Satan poorly or trying to kill the unborn baby.
JD Vance is maybe 15 inches tall and sort of looks like the guy from james bond that kills people by throwing hats.
Kristi Noem literally shoots a dog in every episode, everytime she is on screen, sometimes multiple times in an episode.
You don’t have to watch it but they are definitely doing their best to produce satire.
The JD vance thing is a spoof of the Fantasy Island TV show. The dwarf that would say, “Boss, ze plane!”
My favorite was that connection between Thiel and the antichrist stuff. Saying Satan was cursed with a very tiny asshole after being banished so he couldn’t reproduce, but Trump’s penis is so incredibly small it was able to fit."
They’ve almost shifted to a place like Doonesbury where an element of what’s surreal (surreality? is that a word? the red squiggly lines on my monitor don’t seem to think so…) is employed. I’ve not read that comic in years, but I remember that GW Bush was represented by a floating cowboy hat and I always thought that was creative and evocative. Turning JD Vance into Tattoo from Fantasy Island was a stroke of genius. And how they depict Trump Jr. cracks me up. There have been a few episodes this season that have been funnier than any they’ve produced in at least ten years if not more.
i could have sworn Vance was an oompa loompa
Yeah thats a better guess than mine I think. Maybe like a murderous hat-throwing oompa loompa.
Ooooooohhh, I member!
Nothing they can possibly write could be much more surreal or offensive than reality.
