Cupid Ye

Look, I love south park, how they aren't afraid to pull any punches or anything like that, but i think that is a "wasnt", it's not "not offensive enough" it's just not south park level of writing, cartman being semi PC doesn't sit right with me, it wasn't an exactly enjoyable watch, seeing my favorite characters seem degenerated, go back to any episode season 5-16 everything is completely different writing wise, and that sucks! I loved how they'd have serious people say "nuh uh" or something because guess what it was funny. But they still have current events, which was all this one was, i just wish they'd go back and be the witty, offensive, enjoyable and engaging show it once was.

Ok so after the eh season 25 I'm glad to see the Boys back in the spotlight.

It needs to be said, there was too much Randy in the last handful of episodes and specials. He's a great character and has had fantastic moments throughout the show, but once the Weed farm started, It just continued and they ran through every possible story with him. It was stale by the end of streaming wars. He's fine when it's part of the ensemble, as it should be with other characters.

The heart and soul of this show has always been the boys and their misadventures, that's all we want!

Last season had the Air soft episode and it was simply Perfect and hilarious.

Just funny random stuff they get into and the never ending rivalry between Cartman and Kyle.

This episode has heart in it, and great banter we expect from this show.

I hope this is the theme for this season. It's well needed after all this time.

After 20 plus seasons, it's fully understandable any show would dip in quality. And I felt it was happening here, but seems Matt and Trey realize what people want and now can return to form.

Definitely one of the best season premieres of South Park in a few years. The idea of Cupid Ye was just hilarious, really was looking forward to seeing if they would comment on the interview and was glad to see they did! I enjoyed seeing Cartmans slight character development in this episode and am interested to see what it will lead to in later episodes or if this "new" cartman was just a one off. Also NO MORE TEGRIDY! It appears that stan has now moved back into South Park and Randy is back in his old geologist outfit (about time). Now on to the bad; Kyle and Tolkien's friendship came out of no where and seems so sudden . Tolkien and Stan were forming a really nice friendship in the last few seasons and now that the Tegridy storyline is done it seems so is their friendship. Kyle and Tolkien just came out of no where and the fact that their friendship is bonding over tiktoks? The tiktoks themselves were hilarious though and I did kind of enjoy the reference to it but I can see it getting old quick. I do overall enjoy Kyle and Tolkiens new friendship but I hope it's more built upon as it just initially seemed really sudden. Stan: he just seemed really off this episode I know he was upset over Kyle finding a new best friend but he was pretty bland, with Randy seemingly not being the centre of the show anymore I hope that doesn't mean the neglect of Stan's character . Overall the episode was good, made me laugh a lot, solid start to the season but I'm hoping for better the next episode.

South Park is my number one favorite show regardless of how downhill it's been going since Season 20. That's my opinion, I said it, I'm standing by it! I enjoyed this episode since they are staying somewhat relevant to what's going on in the world. TikTok and Kanye CLASSIC would've been great to see our old pal gay fish. I wish it had more WOW factor for me, everything they talk about and show has been talked about and shown on podcasts. It may be the digital world we're living in that South Park can't be ahead of the game anymore, but I didn't laugh out loud or gasp or thought about it in depth. Excited for more episodes though! More Butters in my life please!

P. S. Can't stand the voice changes of Randy, Cartman and Stan.

P. S. S. I know Tolkien is a running joke, but I miss Token. Doesn't sound right when they say Tolkien. RIP TO AN OG.

It was overall a well done episode and a good starting point to the season! I enjoyed Cartman's subtle character development as Cartman constantly being a menace was starting to get overused and tiring. I like how they kept Cartmans personality and he is still over the top but have made subtle changes to make him more bearable and this will probably make his meltdown moments funnier as I found it to be in this episode. Cupid Ye was downright hilarious and I definitely enjoyed seeing Cupid Me return. However there were some parts of the episode I did not enjoy which goes for most things. I was definitely happy seeing that they ended Tegridy Farms as it had definitely run its course through the seasons. However I would have liked some context onto why they moved back to South Park. To me it was pretty confusing to see Randy in his crazy Tegridy phase jumping back to his home in South Park and in his geologist uniform. I'm unsure if it will be addressed further into the season but I guess I'll just have to see. Also again with the out of context events I found Kyle and Tolkiens friendship come completely out of no where. I thought it was pretty random and was hoping with Stan back from the farm they would have a stronger friendship unlike the last few seasons where it went up and down. I also have seen the jump in the different voices of the characters through seasons. I definitely miss when their voices were higher pitched but now all the characters voices (with the exception of Kenny and butters) kind of sound bland and everyone sounds the same. Overall it was a really great episode and I found it pretty entertaining.
