South Park has become the most important TV show of the Trump 2.0 era | Jesse Hassenger
How could you even compare South Park to the Simpsons?
The Simpsons is sometimes political. South Park is always highly political.
As a Canadian, the moment they went to paramount, the show was basically done. It disappeared from syndication and every other platform. And after all the tegridy farms stuff, I got bored of the show.
This trump stuff is the only South Park Iāve seen in years
Aw come on, guy?
Matt and Trey are killing it this season. And the best part is they own the IP so they can tell Paramount/Skydance to go fuck themselves at their leisure.
Go watch Andor
Trump made South Park more relevant.
How long until Trump outlaws it?
He doesnāt have to. Someone at some point will preemptively comply. Most of whatās happening in the US now isnāt anyone being compelled by law- itās a bunch of cowards bending over and submissively obeying what they assume Trump may well want them to do.
Also a huge Trump ally is going to be the owner of Paramount Global, the company that owns Comedy Central. Itās probably why Parker and Stone have decided to satirize Trump this time, unlike during Trumpās first term.
I've been predicting since the election that sooner or later, Disney and Netflix are gonna purge all their LGBT content. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. Good thing Trump doesn't care about movies and TV as much as I do.
More like how long until the creators are jailed in gitmo.
Don't worry, they're rich.
The class war supercedes the others. Wealth wins in this shitty world.
I don't watch South Park but I do watch CNN's Have I Got News For You and I'm very worried for the stars of that show
Can I watch the new season on SouthPark.com or is it only on shit-ass Paramount+? Cuz that app has literally never worked for me.
Just pirate it. Parker and Stone already got paid $1.5 Billion to put their show on Paramount+
I typically find it via alternative distribution at fmhy.net
I recommend the Stemio app. It's free.
It's on Fandango
it is on comedy central if you have that channel (you may need to watch live or record it though)
as much as i enjoy their feud with streaming services and trump, i find the new stuff to be remarkably unfunny
I thought the ChatGPT stuff was brilliant.
This is the wrongest option I have ever seen
i can respect that
I agree. Ironically it's hitting hard with a lot people that stopped watching it and came back for the Trump stuff.
The ironic part being that it's funny to people because of nostalgia and not really the jokes I think. Because it's really fucking lazy imo. Like, is the Sadam/Satan and using that voice anything but just trying to hit the "remember this" really hard? Its not creative or really making a point. Though people try to act like it is.
South Parks previous mockery with the 'member berries could literally be used to criticize how a lot of liberals are taking "comfort" in it. Seeing it as a "this too shall pass" and that we'll somehow return to normal in 2028 or something.
I have no problems with people that enjoy it. But it's not funny to me AND i see it not moving the needle at all in getting people to do anything to resist these fascist. So I really can't appreciate it on literally the two things people act like it's doing.
I agree, though I'm not yet sure if it's the show being different than it was a decade or so ago or me being different.
The first two kind of sucked, but this third one about ChatGPT kind of ruled
2 funny ass episodes this year. Y'all gotta watch 'em some how! Arrrrrrrrrrr!
