One of the worst episodes of South Park I've seen.
From all the things happening right now, the South Park creators make this a topic for an episode?
It's perhaps too US centric of an episode, Brett Favre is no one you could know in Europe unless you're into the NFL.
I had to google that guy and what it was about with Jenner and his clap. Uhhh, wow, big deal.
Additionally, there's seriously nothing funny about Cartman getting punched half dead by a grown man.
We all know South Park sometimes is very brutal and what a little bastard Cartman actually is, that he kind of had it coming the last 18 seasons but I didn't think it was done in a way that is tolerable or even justifiable. Nor did the episode made me chuckle even once.
I was bored throughout and I find political correctness, inclusional speech and "don't offend anyone" mentality incredibly exhausting and annoying, making that a topic as being a very forced thing (and therefore exclusional of its own) nowadays isn't bad of an idea but still exhausting. I was even disgusted at the Cartman scene, something I have never felt in any SP episode ever and there were incredibly crazy ones. Terrible start for this season.
Errr. What the dili donger was this? It was terrible!
i waited till the end to see that those thugs get what's coming for them, but this is Weak Souce.
And BTW Caitlyn Jenner is NOT a hero, far far NOT.
There's nothing better than when South Park references the Patriots and their love of cheating. The one thing that kept popping into my head during the Tom Brady/Goodell/Belichick dream sequence was:
"...How do I reach these kids/keedz?"
This episode was stunning and brave.
Everyone seems completely out of character in this episode. Eric gives up and becomes PC for 4 days of detention? [Remember Casa bonita?
("well kid you made an entire town panic, you lost all your friends and now you're going to juvenile hall for a week, was it worth it?" "Totally")
Scott tenorman must die? or other countless episodes?? and Eric is straightened out by four days of detention??].
Kyle goes to Eric to get help? Eric gets beaten the shit out of him for no reason and he's again ready to give up? No revenge for this from Cartman? (Remember Prof. Mackey throwing Cartman under the bus? that was funny, not this). Eric tries to help Kyle(?) instead of enjoying Kyle getting punished for no reason at all? Kyle, the voice of reason in the show gives in to PC bullys? (And why does kyle stop everyone when PC cults where finally getting what they deserved?). Everyone in southpark gives in to PC bullys? (Remember how they pushed out jersey folk despite being labelled intolerant by media?). In these newer seasons, I especially dislike that Eric is now just a little mean normal kid, instead of the deranged, racist, intolerant asshole he was. And Kyle isn't as reasonable as he used to be. Now they're both just some kids, instead of characters with their own traits.
This episode has received its fair share of criticism but I found plenty to enjoy.
Cartman finally getting the ass-kicking he’s deserved multiple times over the years, at the fists of PC Principal, was brutal.
An adult man repeatedly punching a small boy isn’t funny - but when you think about what they each represent, it’s kind of ironic.
Foul-mouthed, obnoxious, selfish and bigoted Cartman - being brutally physically assaulted by someone who stands for sensitivity and tolerance is wrong, but right-by-proxy. The little bastard is guilty enough for the beating, but not for the ‘crime’ the Principal thinks.
What a hunk of SHIT!!! In season 9 episode 1 "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina"
"But I paid five thousand dollars to be a woman. This would mean I I'm not really a woman. I'm just a... a I'm just a guy with a mutilated penis!" -Mrs Garrison
FFW to today... "YOU'RE A HERO!!!!"
WTF DID I MISS?!?!?!?
I think the episode was kind of all over the place and had a lot of references. And i had to google some of them to get it all. but with the direction southpark is going they wan to make the seasons more of a big story instead of separate ones. I had the feeling that with this episode they are setting the stage for the new ones. i love that they addres the fact that you cant offend nobody anymore. the fact that the episode addresses this subject makes the beatdown/rape blackmail far more intense. I hope they will use this as a setup for the other episodes
A rare miss for me with South Park. I was really hoping for a lot more with this season's opener, though "Hot Cosby" and Cartman's nightmare sequence both definitely got a chuckle out of me. I hope they're building up some kind of great story arc with this because I really need to see PC Principal get it from Cartman.
6.5/10 - a solid episode but one that falls into the trap that recent South Park has a lot in recent years - offering mishmashes of current events references that kind of relate to each other, but not really, and providing interesting commentary on the topic de jour, but never really tying the points together or building to a satisfying resolution. I appreciated a lot of the pieces of this one, particularly the episode's take on the virulence and anger of the current PC movement (and, less seriously, the digs at Tom Brady), but the "see, sometimes using non-PC humor can lead to supporting the PC cause" seemed a little too neat a button to put on the whole thing. The show seemed to acknowledge this in the final line, but still. Again, it's a typical modern South Park episode, with the POV and wit that provokes the viewer, but without the structure or cleverness of earlier seasons' episodes that makes it all hang together.
I love South Park because they consistently walk the line almost perfectly. They are one of the few shows on TV that can push the boundaries without breaking them, and this episode is a great example. It's brilliant.
great episode, good start to the season
Why do people rate this episode, it's not even aired yet. lol
