Got a Nut

Not gonna lie, while I felt like I wanted more, I am totally believing they are setting up even worse skewering ahead in future episode. Like the setup of the Island, clearly the reason they didn't address it directly is they are gonna plan to focus on the (fantasy) Island with a episode all to itself, or over many episodes as a theme etc... Either way, i'm in. Haven't been watching South Park for a decade, but I have never been so into watching every episode this year.... as Finally we see someone in a privileged position willing to not pull their punches on the lunacy that has been going on....

Me and my friend laughed through almost the whole episode. Genius. The humor was on point for this episode and imo its even better than the last one. I swear in every scene we found something new to laugh at. This bold humor is exactly what south park is made for and it reminds me of the old south park era.

This was a pretty good episode not gonna lie, but the end just felt...off? There are some parts I feel like were unfinished not in a bad way but like, I could tell they wanted to do a lot more. Like they barely touched the "Charlie Kirk" stuff and you'd think it have just as much focus but something tells me even with this main topic of the episode that Paramount watched them like a hawk, especially with that ending like, I dunno. Still good but I'm worried if paramount will do this consistently.

This was better than episode one, I felt that the target of episode one was more the American public than the maga machine but this episode deals with those guilty of complicity beyond simply being conned at the ballot box .

Showing the proud and patriotic ICE agents as perma-masked hired goons in it only for the money and terrified of the mask slipping was very clever. There's a lot to unpack from having the most woke\liberal\kind\caring character become a masked Blackshirt and it forces the viewer to consider the issue of complicity. In the years to come I feel complicity will be a huge topic.

Cartman losing it at a Charlie Kirk clone (and to be honest I've zero awareness of who that is, although I recognise the type, we have analogues in the UK) was brilliant. It seems that Cartman being furious at his losing the ability to outrage will be a strong theme this season. Master-debating might be an old joke but it is brilliantly apposite when directed to the likes of Kirk whose vitriol comes not from conviction but a desire to make his "nut". Clever.

The virtual imprisonment of Kirk\Clyde in a mar-e-lago "play room" where the patron's are all very very old and the waiting and massage staff are all very very young was interesting, evidently there's some places even Trey and Parker still fear to tread with their trademark bluntness. Contrast this tip-toeing with the NAMBLA episode from many years ago.

A very good effort and I'm keen to see where the light is shone next week. However I am slightly concerned that they are showing signs of fear of repercussions and are holding back.

.. here I am. I've watched the SP Movie and random episodes over the years, but this season HITS HARD and I intend on watching every single episode. Does the imagery bother you? It should. This is what they do on SP-they make you think, talk, and see how absurd things are. I think it's called, satire? Yes, that. But it's very much not exaggerated, so.... lol

Anywho, just trying to get my nut over here. So I can afford my Botox. Hopefully Noem doesn't off my service dog, once I get it from a veteran's group. They still like us right? Veterans? Safe? No? Wait, nope, saw one deported the other day.
