This season started off very strong! Hope it's as awesome as ever.
“Member South Park?” “Yeah, I member.” Less of a television season than a 10-part miniseries, South Park’s 20th season takes on internet trolling and asks the pressing question, was Star Wars: The Force Awakens really that good? When Gerald trolls his son’s elementary school’s internet message board he stirs up trouble that pits the girls against the boys and leads a Denmark company to develop a troll trace program that could cause universal Armageddon when everyone’s online handle is exposed; meanwhile Mr. Garrison does everything he can to sabotage his presidential campaign. One of the funnier recurring jokes of the season are the Member Berries; little berries that say “Member” followed by some ‘80s pop-culture reference, and causes people to mellow out and feel nostalgic…and like the J.J. Abrams Star Wars reboot. But most of the humor is focused on internet trolling, which is kind of niche. And the episodes are over serialized, to the point that no one episode can stand alone. The crudeness and vulgarity is also problematic, and saturates every episode in the troll comments and the boy’s pride marches; which involves them exposing themselves in public. Season 20 has its moments, but overall it’s one of South Park’s weaker seasons.
yayyyy!! cant wait for this!! :D

Another great season. They just won't stop giving us great parody/comment on the dumb things we do as a society. Of course, this time they have some really, really dumb things to talk about. I wonder if they're secretly happy about what they get to do for the next four seasons now. Does it outweigh what I'm sure they don't enjoy on a reality way?
The two biggest that I really like though are the comments on group anti-oppression movements and online trolling. You get a good look at overreacting to a lot, even when you're on the morally justified side. Oh, and dick jokes. Dick jokes are always funny.
