Did anybody watch it last night?

I thought it was decent. I am all in for Jesus as the new counselor at school. That seems like it could create some good stuff.

As has been the case with the rest of the season, the Trump/Satan stuff is just tired at this point, and absolutely has to be deliberate. Like I've said, I don't care who they make fun of (and Trump is an easy target for sure), but just make it funny. And it was funny...at first. But after they've made the same joke 37 times in a row it just becomes tiresome and feels super lazy.

But the doll stuff with Butters was pretty good. And the lazy social media mom part was perfect.

My main complaint though, is that it's another episode where it felt like the four main boys took a back seat. And that's almost never a good thing.

It was good while it lasted. Glad Matt and Trey got their payday. Sad it had to end like this.

Everyone is just sick of this shite. Can they just make an episode that has nothing to do with politics?

That was pathetic. It's just feeble and sad at this point.

We did at least get to see Butters take center stage and still being taken advantage of. Pretty funny that the City Wok keeps hearing woke is dead but he thinks they're talking about his restaurant so he just shuts down.

Also nice to see the return of Wing, the satanic Labubus storyline definitely felt like old school South Park kind of like how Chinpokomon were a secret Japanese plot to brainwash American kids.

The Trump stuff was funny especially with the absolute random arse ending. But the Butters stuff was definitely the stronger part of the episode. Although just seeing tiny JD run around with the fat face was probably the best part of the Trump stuff.

Overall better episode than last week but not on par with the first

I agree, you trying to convince everyone that south park sucks now every episode because they made fun of your idol is pretty pathetic, feeble, and sad.

It just does.

Nothing lasts forever. SNL was great for almost 20 years. Then it sucked for 30 years.

Enshittification comes for us all - if we're lucky to last long enough for it to happen.

Seems to target people that post on the poli board frequently more than the rest of us.

I personally think they’re beating the dead horse on the trump is fricking satan bit for a reason. They want to see how much they can get under the skin of trump and his diehard worshipers.

I don’t find it funny, but I can see the reasoning behind their mindset outside of the laziness excuse.

The butters stuff and satanic doll was good, but I always love butters episodes. The moms defending their daughters in the counselor meeting with Jesus was hilarious and spot on for our current society. And city wok closing the restaurant because wok is dead was pretty good. I think I liked this episode better than last one, which I think was boring.

I'm not. I get my joy from watching people cry about it. It's definitely deliberate. I doubt they make one episode this season that doesn't hurt feelings.

Says the guy that has been making the same threads complaining about woke stuff/disney for years? How is that not beating a dead horse?

The reaction on this board after every SP episode (and sometimes prior to an episode even airing) is likely the exact reaction they’re trying to get. A lot of crying and “South Park is over” while they banked 1.5 billion and have a contract through 2030 worth quarter mil a year.

That and him passing on the tariff cost to children. Only thing I halfway chuckled at. The rest was just lazy.

It really is hilarious how upset they get when they leave their safe space and realize everyone else isnt as gullible as them.

I thought the moms defending their daughters and TikTok was spot on. So many moms with young kids encouraging ridiculous behavior.

South Park has always played second fiddle to Family Guy. Both are sadly irrelevant
