South Park: Das Ende der Fettleibigkeit

This special was quite good, I was actually kept interested throughout the episode. Some of the reoccurring jokes were funny, had a good premise for an episode, and made some absurdist humor that isn't often seen in South Park anymore. Kind of a happy medium of early season South Park and modern topics. And the episode ended on a good song as-well.

The previous specials have been alright, but had been hit or miss when it comes to certain things, such as pacing, and overall plot. In my opinion, this special did a lot better at those two things. Good plot, and good pacing.

The only bad thing about this special was a couple of the jokes didn't land for me, one of the jokes was a little outdated in my opinion. Otherwise, it's decent modern South Park.

While latest south park episodes might not seen as good as the earlier to mid seasons, this special was really good especially compared to the recent seasons. I really liked kyle in this movie and he exactly acted like in the prime era of south park. We finally see more of kenny who was treated like a background character in the recent south park episodes. Cartman was iconic as always and butters is butters. I loved the jokes and we finally saw less of Tegridy randy. Randy reminded me much more of the prime era south park. Tegridy has been overused in the latest seasons so having a whole south park movie with only one mention of it is a relief. The moms were funny and i just hope south park continues to bring back the good ol south park. Let's hope season 27 will be as good as this special. I still love every episode but we gotta admit that season 5 to.season 13 was the prime era for south park.

I don't have any especially strong feelings either way about the new South Park special, although I believe it's a fairly valid one. This time, the subject is the American healthcare system, insurance companies, and the maddening labyrinth that these entities will put people through.

However, it also concerns body positivity and uses Eric Cartman to represent something I've sometimes noticed within the body-love discourse. A lot of people simply want the thing that THEY are insecure about to get destigmatized so that they can then poke fun at other people's shortcomings from a position of superiority -- of not being "ugly" themselves. They want to be able to dish it out without having to take it.

Something similar happens in "gender wars" discourse: Many incels espouse that they should be worthy of love even if they are short or thin, but will gladly demonize fat women, while a woman who pushes for fat acceptance may readily use the very language she's decrying when it comes to small schlongs and "skinny b-itches". Both sides will tell you it's totally different when the other does it.

But I digress. How is the rest of the episode/special/"Paramount+ event"? Well, it has some laughs and it lets a lot of characters shine. (Randy, as per usual, gets a pretty funny B story where he gets in on the South Park moms' obsession with semaglutide drugs.)

Also, it has appreciably better cereal mascot gags (yes, cereal/sugar companies also become involved in the plot) than anything we got in Unfrosted.

To be honest, I didn't know anything about semaglutide before watching this episode. After checking about it, I found that they showed everything kinda right and in a fun way. I like when they make the show Cartman-centric, showcasing all his bad sides. The good part is that this special has all five lead kids and Randy doing his crazy stuff like always.

I haven't heard any songs by Lizzo and don't know much about the cartoons of the sugary brands, but this episode was still fun for me.

Overall, it's a good, fun episode for South Park fans but probably not for Lizzo fans and Pakistani people.

I'm waiting for the 27th season of South Park. It's been more than a year-please just release it ASAP.

Weight loss drugs are all the rage though obtaining them can be problematic. However, some of the mothers of South Park clearly have no problem in obtaining them, as Randy Marsh discovers. Meanwhile, Cartman is desperately wanting to lose weight and a weight loss drug would be ideal for him.

Another hilarious, topical, button-pushing South Park special from Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Not the most obvious subject for a comedy show but Parker and Stone have a knack for turning seemingly-unfunny topics into something hilarious.

Some hysterically funny moments and also a great indictment of the US healthcare system.
