This has been hilarious, great satire of the tech industry.

Was pretty meh episode imo. But if it’s the death of Tegridy Farms, that’ll be good for the show/. Tegridy Farms sucks.

Crazy idea, make the kids the focus of the show.

This.

But the fact that they never truly went after drunk, word salad Kamala - maybe an even easier target than Biden - pretty much undermines everything that they are.

She was easily everything Trey and Matt should despise, maybe more so than Hilary, and they still never touched her. That's ridiculous.

I thought it was a great episode. It wove together two ideas. Everyone in the tech industry has such inflated opinions of their bullshite and everything is a “platform.” And then how Trump has surrounded himself with people to kiss his arse. Just excellent commentary on how society is feeding itself with its own bullshite.

There they go again, beating a dead horse with things that currently happening.

Or just some other parody. How about a parody of Dune for instance. I’m sure they would have already done this if they were regularly on the air from 2020-2024, but it just reeks of a South Park parody like Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones did. Cartman as Baron Harkonnen is just obvious.

Matt and Trey said years ago they have aged and relate more with Randy.

Pretty good episode, tech and AI bubble heading towards a crash

A top gun maverick parody could also work as a one off episode.

Like here’s what I think would be a good idea for an episode or two being a Dune parody: Cartman does something horrible at school again and forces Butters to be an accomplice, so he and Butters are grounded from the school field trip to Denver which will have a stop off lunch at Casa Bonita. Cartman goes out of his way to sabotage the field trip no matter what happens and all hell breaks lose with Butters as his reluctant and grounded accomplice. I think that’s a pretty funny idea for an episode.

Oh for sure. First time I think I’ve ever said this to you, but great idea!

This was a better episode. The AI stuff was funny but they must have a Trump quota or something. It's forced and drags down an otherwise decent episode.

I thought the techridy and Randy + towlie + AI stuff made the episode good despite the Trump bits, which were pretty cringe. It’s like they’ve made it their personal vendetta to attack / insult. They are just doing the same joke over and over with him. It doesn’t bother me, but it’s boring. The small dick jokes are as bad as the politards’ antics such as referring to democrats as “demonRATS”, thinking it’s some clever insult. The sad thing is that Matt and Trey are actually way more clever, yet they are choosing to go this route.

It’ll be cool seeing Stan in his old house. It’s been 7 years!

I hope that's the end of Towlie, but suspect he'll turn up before the end of the season.

but if this episode is just Trump bouncing around as Saddam and jokes about his penis, that’s gonna be disappointing.



Welp, that was disappointing. Just a pretty meh episode for me. But admittedly, I have hated the Tegridy for a long time now. I thought I remembered them severing themselves from that during one of the specials a year or so ago. Am I misremembering that? At least this time it looks like they may be moving away from it. The best Randy is geologist Randy who tries to meddle too much into shite.

The Trump penis shite is just dumb at this point. It's literally just the same joke over and over and not clever in the least. And for guys who are usually sharp and clever as frick with their humor, it just feels super lazy. I could almost buy into it a little bit if something happened and they are just doing the same joke over and over to try to piss Trump off I guess, but did anything like that happen, or are they just pumping out episodes trying to get to the end of the season?

And Towelie didn't even call a single person a towel I don't think. I did like the ketamine shite with Him and Randy though. And the ChatGPT thing was pretty good. But all in all, this episode was a miss for me.

I really hope we get some episodes focused on the "boys being boys" this half-season. I mean, were any of them other than Stan (who was in it for about two seconds) even in this episode at all? SP without the boys isn't the SP I want to see.


ETA: I'm catching up on the thread, and I see it's mostly just people arguing back and forth about idiocy. So my apologies for posting about the actual episode. Weird how many threads lately have been ruined by this kind of stupid bullshite. Also weird how it seems to center around the same small handful of posters every time too.

Old South Park would have made fun of trump by having Cartman run for class President and been "trump" for a few episodes.

Or something like that. That's how they would have gotten trump. And could have been funny.

Then have Trump on and get mad that Cartman is a better Trump than him or something.

According to the M/TV greater minds, there has never been a better season.
