Yeah, Biden would be very hard to find anything to make fun of or take shots at. Being this delusional must be pure bliss.

Why would they? Only people who believe that are Trump voters. If they’re going to rip on him it’ll be for his age or his speech problems or something on those lines. Hell even in the past they didn’t shite on presidents that much other than Bill and Hillary. Bush was only in one episode about 9/11 and Obama was a jewel thief. Although Douche and a Turd could definitely be seen as shitting on Bush and Kerry Difference is with Trump and Bill they’re basically in real life South Park characters so it’s probably easier to and more fun to take shots at them.

Have they made an episode about Biden diddling children?

They lost me a bit with the covid specials, when they said that Garrison/Trump wanted covid to last forever, and had him flame throw a scientist who was going to end it. Immediately afterward, they broke the 4th wall and told the audience to make sure to get out and vote.

I think they sold out to get their play made, or maybe Sheri Redstone replacing her father as head of Viacom forced them to go leftward. In any case, it's been noticeable.

None of these were critiques of anything leftist, and there have been ZERO Biden episodes, which is pretty odd seeing as how Biden is a comedy gold mine.

How many conservatives do you know that use mental health as a crutch to not work?

Book of Mormon was released in 2011. What are you talking about?

Her father resigned in 2016. Is she actually "the head of Viacom"? Wiki says she is a "non-executive chariwoman." Regardless, this came out in 2019:



Yes, they still make fun of anybody. They choose what they think is funny to be a topic in an episode, regardless of what side politically something falls on. They aren't like SNL with "how can we really stick it to Trump this week?" Some of you seem to think that is what South Park should be, but replace Trump with Biden. It would suck IMO.

Yeah, the same year they made the episode 'arse burgers' in which Kyle cryptically says 'sometimes, when you want to go forward, you have to make a sharp left turn.'

No one ever said they became hardcore leftists, but they are definitely no longer based, and haven't been for years.

Just admit that they could do a Biden centric episode and you’d still complain that they made fun of trump more. Not that this will change your mind, but:


Yes, I know they were probably kidding.

Who gives a frick?

All they did with Obama was make him a jewel thief and Bush was just part of the 9/11 conspiracy. They did go hard on Hillary and Bill though. Trump just makes it so easy because he’s virtually a South Park character anyway

The PFAW thing happened back in about 2001-2002. The article is about Larry Elder mentioning it on the radio in 2018.

I know because the event company I worked for in DC got the PFAW account because the previous organizers had been fired for securing Parker and Stone as honorees for what is a VERY liberal organization.

Da fuq was this? Absolute garbage. Been a great season and then they lay a giant turd on our face.

Both storylines sucked arse. The Garrison stuff is stale. The Randy story was dumb.

After 5 fantastic episode, they pissed it away.

Agreed. This season has been great so far but this one was bad bad.

I absolutely can’t stand the whole “Garrison as Trump” thing. It was stupid when they started it years ago, it was stupid when they ran. It. Into. The. Ground. Over. And. Over, and it is stupid now that they are apparently bringing it back. You want to make fun of Trump? Fine. But to literally make Garrison INTO Trump not only doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t work on any level whatsoever.

Also, the politics in this one were just stupid. They didn’t even feel tongue in cheek or anything like that. It was a rundown of what the left feels like the right is like. Nothing clever. Nothing funny. Just that straightforwardly. I don’t care which side you make fun of, just make it clever or funny and I’ll laugh at if. This was neither.

And the B plot of Randy and spring break was kinda stupid too. I’m all about Randy trying to rage, but it was similar to what I said above…there was nothing funny or clever about it. It was literally just him trying to rage while Stan and Token played their game. The funniest part of the episode was when Stan’s mom got home and bitched at him for playing on the kitchen table.

This episode was a HUGE miss. Disappointing.

Yeah. This episode was a dud. It barely got a laugh out of me and just wasn't very interesting. They should have let sleeping dogs lie with Trump Garrison. There was no need to bring him back. I'd be more understanding if it were 2024 and in the heat of the presidential race / campaigns, but why do this now?

I would have rather seen some Asspen sequel with Gwyneth Paltrow and the kids.

Butters is getting more assertive. He stood up to Cartman and got his money back he invested in DikinBaus.

Agreed. The worrying thing about the end of this episode is that it felt like Trump Garrison still might not be done. "We'll see what happens."

The season has been good because they were FINALLY focusing on the boys again. This episode just felt lazy and out of place.
