Got a Nut

The guidance counselor is fired due to budget cuts so he decides to join ICE to make his "nut". Cartman is upset that a fellow student is successful at a podcast saying politically incorrect things when that should be him! Kristi Noem's face keeps melting and she keeps shooting dogs. And Donald Trump and his VP J. D. Vance treat Mar-A-Lago like Fantasy Island! This was another funny ep of "South Park" making fun of the current administration. I can't wait for another one, that's for sure!

South Park is back to form this season with the "celebrity" bashing at its peak. Noem was depicted with scary accuracy, wont get into spoilers but Matt and Trey delivered. It wasn't even that offensive of an episode, the MAGA crowd is just insanely sensitive like delicate little snowflakes. Not as good as the first episode but still one of the best SP episodes in the last 5 years.

Man I laughed so hard. I thought the first episode was a one off, but somehow this is even BETTER.

It's TOO BAD the creators are late to the party and couldn't make fun of any of this stuff when it was CLEARLY apparent the anti-progressive crowd were going to lead the country off a cliff.

South Park has never been more relevant and funny. This will also age like fine wine as you wont find a single person in 10 years who says they ever supported the PDF File in Chief and the movement.

.. 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.

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.
