It's just not very funny.

Everything should be fair game.

But it's just not funny this season. Pretty simple. And it's definitely not just TexAgs.

Just a wild ass guess: Matt and Trey probably started feeling that the right had staked a claim on South Park due to years of mocking woke ideology. I think this season was their attempt to "balance the scales" and to prove they don't belong in either camp.

I think Trump going after Kimmel and using the FCC to try to get him off the air permanently made them switch to doing a Trump centered season and a half. I didn't watch most of this past season but the episodes I caught did feel like the same jokes on repeat. It felt like I was with my kids when they think they did/said something funny and keep repeating it until they get the reaction they want.

I know they have this huge money deal, but is there a way to money-whip them into doing something classic and funny again?

I can chip in about tree-fiddy.

I am shocked, shocked that Texags didn't enjoy this season of South Park.

That said, I really didn't enjoy the through line about trying to kill a pregnancy. That was largely too dark to land laughs on my end. It also just didn't really go anywhere or deliver on its buildup. It's like they had a funny start in mind and thought they'd figure out the rest as they went along, but then just couldn't come anywhere close enough to sustaining it let alone nailing the landing.


I think the consensus has been that Trump jokes would have been fine but at least be 1. original and 2. funny in the style South Park is known for.

Do you think they did that?

Yeah it's been pretty tired this season.

The first episode was pretty funny and moderately shocking.

That's unfortunate since the Venezuela smash and grab will be front and central for an episode, but once again it will be another DJT episode. I say this as a CM.

If there was ever a person that cried out for the South Park treatment regardless of politics - a privileged, powerful, famous person in the headlines for all the wrong reasons - it was that laptop forgetting, selfie-taking, hookers & blow connoisseur, Ukrainian oil money bag man with White House access.

But crickets. I'm just sad and disappointed at the missed opportunity for laughs that were ripe for the taking.

Old school South Park would be aking fun of the 'Somali situation' in Minnesota...have they touched that one yet?

I know most on here won't be able to entertain the thought, but what if the satire is deserved and necessary?

The country is in an incredibly dangerous position right now and that some are still willing to call it out is a good thing.

Can you elaborate? Where is most of the violence coming from? Are conservatives ambushing and attacking/killing ICE/BP and other federal agents? Or are those the lefties who have been told by people like Kamala Harris that those agents are comparable to the KKK?

But I assume you mean that Trump or conservatives are dangerous? We could also go into FBI crime statistics by demographic if you want?

Or just...Somalis.

This guy is a prominent politician there. Do a joke along the lines of "i'm the daycare manager now" or something. Or poke fun at the rampant inbreeding in the culture (sorry, this is FACT). Boom...easy.



South Park used to be edgy and almost nothing was off limits. My wife is Asian and she would laugh at them making fun of Asians. But they only seem to make fun of people who are peaceful/pushovers. Come on, make fun or Muhammad. Have they ever done that?

ORLY???

Shooting someone gunning their car at you (an officer) as you are trying to arrest or detain them for unlawful activity is "murder" now?

Nah...I have always known not to do something like that...because it is wrong, and because you can bet your ass it's an easy way to EARN a couple bullets through the windshield.

These agents are constantly facing violent attacks. All from one side.

The current season ended before that stuff came out.

LOL far from a bootlicker, I have just seen the video. Do you think people can just do whatever they want as long as they are breaking the law for a certain social justice cause? You can't just block roads and interfere with law enforcement, and once you get in trouble for doing do, YOU CANNOT FLOOR YOUR CAR DIRECTLY AT AN OFFICER TRYING TO STOP YOU. He was right in front of her.

They made fun of Mohammad but IIRC they wouldn't show him and the character had a big black Censored rectangle over it

The original version of the Super Best Friends episode depicted Mohammed. He had the power of flame.

You conveniently left out the fact that she was in a car trying to run them over. That isn't murder, get help.

He fires as soon as the car starts taking him out. The car pushed him to the side while firing. Physics.



Walz calling ICE agents Gestapo and many other leftist politicians putting targets on their backs has ensured that the violence will probably not die down any time soon. Crazy how violent one party is and how peaceful the other one is. South Park should do an episode or two on this phenomenon.

Still sticking with that narrative? Remember, these are split second/life or death situations. Probably best not to floor it at an officer directly in front of your car who is attempting to detain you for unlawful activity, right?

Female genital mutilation. A sad and disgusting part of the somalis culture that affects something like 98% of somali females.

That sounds like a horrible topic for a comedy satire show. Even for South Park in their heyday.

LOL, not the best analogy. This woman was gunning a vehicle at an officer standing right in front of her....that is attempted murder. I am not saying anything on Ashley Babbitt one way or another bc this thread is already a bit derailed, certainly played stupid games, but you can acknowledge that this is wayyy different right? Even if you are partisan and don't want to believe it? Attempted murder with a vehicle +/ rioting and breaking through a door unarmed (I do not blame them for acting as if she was possibly armed btw...no way they could know).
