Spring Break

I liked the rick and mr garrison part of the story but I feel like it could've used a whole episode. And the part with randy I feel like they could've easily done a full episode about Randy's pc background and that loser Andrew tate. And I would've actually liked it more if randy was against him. Furthermore I really feel like this could've been one of the few episodes where Sharon really got a chance to shine but she didn't. I did like the message tho, I know people like that. They just can't live normal lives without their partners. Their homes become messes their lives lose substance they just go out drinking every chance they get. So all in all it's descent not laught out loud funny with a good message. Oh and I don't know anything about warhammer 40k I am a gamer just never got in to it so can't comment on that.

This is the last episode for Season 6. I actually did care for Mr. Garrison's relationship with Rick. I remember how his first name was Herbert. He's called "Herb" in this. Thank you for introducing me to how "Warhammer 40K" is actually played. I just hear about that being mentioned on TVTropes all the time.

I did like how they were just saying that we'll see how things go with the 2024 election. It's great to hear Trump is being put on trial now. I thought Stan would at least mention Wendy. I missed not seeing more of Cartman or Butters from the last episode. Randy's being a party animal again! No, I don't think Trump will win. ***

I don't think I laughed once. The creators went a little overboard trying to connect spring break with trump and masculinity. Definitely more of an episode with a message than one that's trying to make you laugh, but those are my least favorite SP episodes. Considering this is the season finale, I'm pretty disappointed. They've been having these very short seasons lately. Six episodes? That's not enough time to hit your stride in a season. I bet they'll do another couple specials to supplement the season like last year, but it makes me long for the days where at least every other episode was memorable and relatable. Feels kinda like they're losing their edge.

Honestly, I enjoyed this episode much more than I thought I would mainly because the A and B plot center around Trump/Garrison and Tegridy/Randy which I am typically not a fan of.

For the Tegridy/Randy part, I feel like the commentary they were trying to was super heavy handed but also kind of unfocused. Like the Andrew Tate shoehorn, and Randy constantly talking about "real" masculinity just didn't work. And I feel like the commentary was just too simple. Basically boils down to partying hard bad, also Andrew Tate. Like seriously the Andrew Tate inclusion was just so unnecessary and weird, cause it's not even like its him, it kind of feels like they just made up a random character and made him look like Andrew Tate.

The Garrison arc I enjoyed a little more but only because Garrison is just such a ridiculous character and the whole Garrison Rick relationship thing is kind of wholesome. But again I feel like the commentary is both heavy handed and unfocused. Like Garrison's obsession with rallying as a metaphor for toxic habits is kind of funny but just to over the top. And I have no idea why they just started putting in footage of the capital riots during his speech it didn't make any sense.

So yeah, pretty mid episode, but still mildly entertaining. I wasn't like itching to turn it off, but I probably won't revisit it ever again.

I thought the episode was pretty good. I didn't see the twist with Garrison at first, it's a classic South Park type of joke. And I liked that they used Randy for the toxic masculinity angle. I hate Tegridy Farms but this was more like how his role used to be in contrast to Stan than just jokes about him being the worst.

But you can see from all the reviews that somehow this is the episode when "South Park lost it". Kind of interesting they suddenly dislike it now. The show hasn't been as good as its prime in forever but this was definitely not bottom tier if you're not a snowflake who can laugh at everyone else except the thing you care about.
