What's going to be more hilarious is when they make the board's liberals cry. Going from celebration to defeat will make the tears taste even better

The thread will be glorious.

OK. I finally got a chance to watch it. Long review… read if you want, don't if you don't.

Overall, it has some funny parts. And honestly, they are making fun of the woke liberals in the beginning and throughout just as much as Trump.

Kind of weird though that Eric would be so upset "woke" being dead since he's never been that character he's always been politically incorrect. But I guess his sadness is over not being able to make fun of them anymore. But then Cartman has always been an opportunist. Remember his own trans bathroom and the mobility scooter stuff.

I think it was a little tacky with the Trump parts (but they're known for this) and of course they're portraying him as a way over the top of what he actually is, but there's some minor truth there in some of the things said.

They have a very black and white view of Trump, which is not the truth. He's not the monster they want to make him out to be. And Trump is not taking bribes and he is not that overweight.

The part in the desert was very tacky though. Extremely. They would never do that to Obama or Biden or especially Kamala and it was pretty gross that they did that here.

They truly should be ashamed of themselves for that, but they won't be.

The 60 Minutes part was pretty funny. But they deserve every bit of that. They lied and lied again. And they paid for it. As they should have. But not out of revenge.

But I can tell you right now. They would've never portrayed Joe Biden or Obama or especially Kamala as being naked or screwing Satan on their show. They would've never insinuated about size of their manhood. Flat out they never would do that.

Until they make fun of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Barack, Obama, AOC, Crockett, Rosie or all the other ones out there, their credibility is a little shot here.
But they've never liked Trump. So this isn't anything new.

What is laughably asinine, though is pretending that everybody is now scared of Trump and doing things only because they fear what he will do to them. The people he is suing, has sued and is threatening to sue or people that are legitimately doing things to harm our country. It's not just random.

And a lot of this is stuff is finally getting targeted because of screwed up things like mutilating, children, men in women's sports, perverts in bathrooms, the Democratic support for socialism, indoctrination on our school campuses, DEI, being pro-terrorist, Very biased news reporting. Getting rid of lot of the excess USAID stuff is doing this as well. So again they're not being completely honest about this.

I'm sure they will completely skip over the connection between Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and half of Hollywood with Epstein and putting all the focus on Trump, the only one that kicked him out out of his life and didn't visit the island. I would be surprised if they went there with others.

I also don't ever remember them completely skewering Islam either and we know they would never show Mohammed, Charlie Hebdo anyone? So until they do that, again, they have little credibility there, too.

At the end of the day, it's a television show. You're not forced to watch it. Over their nearly 30-year run there have been several shows that over the years that they really went way too far or very disgusting. This is just another one of them. Mostly they've been pretty funny though.

Honestly. Our Democrats in office, our legacy media and our former brain dead president have said many worse things than this about Trump. That's why the left is having so much fun with this.

We literally saw the Biden administration do so many evil things so if anyone sleeping with Satan, pretty sure it would be them.

I gave it about a C-. I've seen much better, but I've seen much worse. I think in the end it reflects much more poorly on them than Trump.

I never took these guys for cowards. But they are either cowards, or not as bright as I thought they were...to pass up on sooooo much material from Obama, Biden, Kamala etc.

Do they at least make fun of the Elizabeth Warren's and AOC's?

Doubtful. If they do make fun of them, it's usually just a really brief comments. They would never go this far with any Democrat or any of the talkshow hosts. They know it and we know it. Really shoots their credibility.

It's South Park. They make fun of literally everyone.

Did they make fun of anyone in the Biden admin in the last 4 years? Show me that episode.


They tried but the Biden team kept beating them to the punch with crazier and crazier behavior and they couldn't keep up. Biden presidency was one long Southpark episode...

Well put, but note that Trey Stone etc. had some conflicts of interest there.

Would anyone really doubt the two come up with storylines high as a kite, as per hunter and their lawyer? I don't care.

And, Trump probably ticked them off by stealing their invade Canada story. That's still funny, too.

Anything more to this than some tweet of separate pictures of the people discussed in the tweet?




It's not hard to fine.

Yep...I mean, they do kind of look like gay Rocky Mountain hipsters, so I always suspected that, at best, they were most likely libertarians who leaned left on social issues.

I'm not doing it. I defended part of the show. I just had a more rational response to it. That must be the part that's throwing you. Rational. You clearly didn't read my review of the show earlier. And that's fine. You don't have to, but I can tell you didn't.

They absolutely did, and have shown Mohammed several times, including an entire episode about showing him. Mocking the entire concept of you can't show him.

They had literal death threats from extremist groups, and the episodes have been banned by Comedy Central/Paramount

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2010/apr/22/south-park-censored-fatwa-muhammad


Here's what Mohammed looks like like in case any of you have ever been curious (he's the one on the right)





The fact some of you are upset because they dared make fun of Trump is hilarious, and justifying it with "well they never went hard enough after the left" is something. They have torched everything for almost 30 years.

I voted for Trump every time. I hate Colbert with a passion and I'm glad he's gone... and them mocking Trump is funny as hell.

Pretty much. Look Trump is fair game. Have no problem with people making fun of him. I think they went too tacky with this, others who hate him don't. But again in the end, it's just a show. If they had given this treatment to Obama, Biden or Kamala, which we know they won't do, I would've been laughing as well. And I actually did laugh at several parts of this show.

i've been watching the show since it's inception. And as I said earlier, they've had some really funny ones over the years and they've had some really gross ones over the years, they have gone too far many times with many characterizations of many people.. And then they've had a lot of mediocre ones.

But they're pushing this boundary because they know they can because of the hatred of Trump. They will never, ever push this extreme of a boundary with the Democrats. You will never see a show on the jokes about Michelle being a man or Obama being gay, potentially getting arrested or Kamala being a drunk.

Especially after the pathetic uproar over Colbert and the lies as to why it was really canceled. CBS is really making a mistake letting that piece of crap pontificate the next 10 months. My hope is he will go too far and it will be an immediate cut off. But we'll see. I don't watch it. I occasionally see a clip or two, but can't usually watch more than about 10 seconds. Remember, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher are all failed actors. You can find them on old shows like murder she wrote, law and order, etc. When that didn't pan out, they pushed into what used to be comedy, but it's turned into propaganda for the DNC.

Again. You clearly did not read my review. I'm not upset. I had a very rational review of it. Quit lumping me in with other people. and I have repeatedly said on here that Trump is fair game. I'm not sure why you're not comprehending this.

I said I didn't remember them doing it. I didn't state that they didn't. It has been on for 28 years and I have seen every episode. I can't remember every single one of them. I'm glad to hear it. I did just look up the history of it, apparently, Comedy Central wouldn't air parts of it. So that's interesting. They certainly got threats, but at least didn't kill a bunch of people like they did in Paris.

I did read your review. You said you don't remember them completely skewering Islam... but you also said "and we know they would never show Mohammed, Charlie Hebdo anyone? So until they do that, again, they have little credibility there, too."

That's false, and I pointed it out because you said it definitively and for some reason said it takes away from their credibility.

Your review is fairly rational, although saying stuff like their depiction of Trump is tacky and they should be ashamed of themselves kinda suggests otherwise... These guys have shown Jesus doing drugs, Santa Claus being tortured by terrorists, Hilary Clinton with a nuke up her vagina and multiple jokes about how nobody wants to go up there because it's disgusting... the list goes on and on. It's shock value satire, that's usually pretty brilliant and salient. But now there's some people on this board (not saying you) that aren't happy because it was too harsh on Trump, because you can't say anything negative about the guy... it's comical.

Yeah, almost 24 hours later, I think the one piece of the episode I can't write off as South Park being South Park is the implication that Colbert was wronged / he only lost his job because of pressure from Trump / he's (in Matt and Trey's mind!?) a comedy peer that they are willing to stand up for and defend.

I cant imagine anyone on the political spectrum other than "far far far left" even wasting breath pretending that Colbert is a brave truth teller that tells it like he sees it and is pro-democracy and free speech and yada yada.

He deserves the treatment they gave Rob Reiner, Phil Collins, Barbara Streisand, and other sociopath unhinged Libs they've pantsed in the last 30 years.

And presidents, up until this one, have been good sports about it.

Trump went on SNL numerous times and was willing to make fun of himself before becoming a politician. He even went on Jimmy Fallon and let Jimmy touch his hair when he first ran for President - it was NBC who were poor sports about it and Fallon was hammered for being too 'nice' to Trump. Then he went on the podcast circuit last fall during the campaign and made fun of how he rambles when answering questions. I don't recall any presidential candidate since Reagan poking fun at themselves while campaigning.

So no, you aren't accurate about that at all. And you conveniently leave out old Joe, who most people weren't even willing to make fun of because the jokes hit too close to home.

They got rich and comfortable. The show hasn't been the same since at least COVID. They don't take as many chances and play it safer. Of course the show can still make me laugh, but it's not nearly as good as it used to be.

You think poking Trump is playing it safe with all of the lawsuits he has filed about being slandered?!?!?!

ETA. I agree it isn't as consistently funny as it used to be but even the early seasons had duds. Hard to stay on top of your game as long as these guys have been doing it.

They just got a nice deal with Paramount so I don't think they're concerned about lawsuits. And the lawsuits had more to do with news portion of CBS actually doctoring footage and inaccurately reporting the news...Trump didn't sue because of the late night comedians making fun of him. He's just spiking the football over them getting hurt by this.

I think what disappoints me is how much they've laid off the woke culture these past 5 years and all the non-Trump craziness in DC. They mocked the "politically correct" regularly in their early years. It just seems like a more selective, corporate, version of the show now.

If you want to understand why they are pissed at Trump in a way they weren't with Biden or even Trumps first term, it is because of Monty Python. Matt and Try bonded over MP, and for Matt he first saw it airing on PBS

I think it's just silly when they go so hard at Trump but used complete kiddie gloves with Biden and Kamala, who were historically dumb and incompetent. They were freaking TREASURE TROVES. Late night shows, SNL, South Park...all partisan hacks and/or cowards.
