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.
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 am glad to see Trump back. I loved the 20th season of South Park, which was all about the elections. It was awesome and very funny. Even though this episode didn't feature Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, Butters, and the other school kids, it was still enjoyable to watch. It would be even better if they paired Cartman with Trump. Also, it was shocking that they didn't use Trump's name in the show and instead named him Garrison, but in the 20th season, they named him Trump. The ending was a bit like a gay romantic movie, but the last dialogue hinted at Trump's possible return, depending on what happens in the real-life elections.
Overall, it was a fun episode to watch, but it might be the last episode of the season. I'm hoping to see some movies of South Park too in the future.

Huge South Park fan here. I laughed maybe twice during this, hence why I don't rate this a 1. What a weak finale in what was an otherwise strong season. The Garrison/Trump and Randy Tegridy farms storylines have long overstayed their welcome. And they combine both into one episode. How can you have a season finale without the main boys (with the exception of Stan)? There's almost nothing to talk about in this episode. It was just a boring episode, and about halfway through I was just waiting for it to be over. We've pretty much seen everything here before. It's a shame because earlier in the season they've done one of their best episodes in a long time (The Worldwide Privacy Tour), and then they end with this. I much prefer the episodes where the boys are the focus. Oh well. Still an otherwise good season, and I'll be watching in the future.
By far the worst episode of the season, maybe the only bad episode after some solid entries. Randy feels off character, he makes decisions that don't combine with him, Andrew Tate is just there, he doesn't add anything to the episode, and the final message is something quite confusing to me, hard to really understand what the writers were trying to say. To make matters worse, seeing Garrison as Trump again brought back memories of the show's 2016 season, which I'd rather forget. Also, the episode's pacing felt sluggish, and the humor didn't land as well as in previous episodes. All in all, a disappointing entry in an otherwise short but decent season.

- TriviaAfter Randy crashes, in the outside shot of Tegridy Farm, there is a drone hovering in the upper left with a cat attached to it. That is a nod to Major Boobage (2008) where cat pee was used as a hallucinogenic drug.
- GoofsThe MAGA club is shown in long shots to have a large open area in front of it but in close-ups it's right on the street.
