South Park: The End of Obesity

While latest south park episodes might not seen as good as the earlier to mid seasons, this special was really good especially compared to the recent seasons. I really liked kyle in this movie and he exactly acted like in the prime era of south park. We finally see more of kenny who was treated like a background character in the recent south park episodes. Cartman was iconic as always and butters is butters. I loved the jokes and we finally saw less of Tegridy randy. Randy reminded me much more of the prime era south park. Tegridy has been overused in the latest seasons so having a whole south park movie with only one mention of it is a relief. The moms were funny and i just hope south park continues to bring back the good ol south park. Let's hope season 27 will be as good as this special. I still love every episode but we gotta admit that season 5 to.season 13 was the prime era for south park.

I HOLLERED at the use of "It's my life!" in this special. No, not Bon Jovi. Remember Vennu Mallesh? Yep. THAT 'It's my life'. South Park ft. Vennu Mallesh is NOT what I had signed up for but boooooy, it was a surprise :D They have labs based out of Vishakapatnam, with signs saying 'Prayogshala' etc. (surprisingly written correctly 90% :O) in Hindi and.... Sanskrit..? XD Who comes up with the ridiculous stuff like this? LMAO.

"Rich people get get Ozempic, poor people get body positivity." The commentary on the American Medical system was hilarious and sadly still prevalent. I don't know anything about Lizzo's music and don't know if the criticism of the music was justified, but someone got a prescription to listen to Lizzo five times a day because they couldn't afford medicine and their insurance wouldn't allow claims. The Cereal Mascot acting like mob-bosses, LOL. Wut!? XD Leave it to South Park to come up with some of the most random things.

Classic South Park? No. But if you're a fan, it's enjoyable. If you know have heard of Vennu Mallesh, this is a must watch.

I don't have any especially strong feelings either way about the new South Park special, although I believe it's a fairly valid one. This time, the subject is the American healthcare system, insurance companies, and the maddening labyrinth that these entities will put people through.

However, it also concerns body positivity and uses Eric Cartman to represent something I've sometimes noticed within the body-love discourse. A lot of people simply want the thing that THEY are insecure about to get destigmatized so that they can then poke fun at other people's shortcomings from a position of superiority -- of not being "ugly" themselves. They want to be able to dish it out without having to take it.

Something similar happens in "gender wars" discourse: Many incels espouse that they should be worthy of love even if they are short or thin, but will gladly demonize fat women, while a woman who pushes for fat acceptance may readily use the very language she's decrying when it comes to small schlongs and "skinny b-itches". Both sides will tell you it's totally different when the other does it.

But I digress. How is the rest of the episode/special/"Paramount+ event"? Well, it has some laughs and it lets a lot of characters shine. (Randy, as per usual, gets a pretty funny B story where he gets in on the South Park moms' obsession with semaglutide drugs.)

Also, it has appreciably better cereal mascot gags (yes, cereal/sugar companies also become involved in the plot) than anything we got in Unfrosted.

One of the funniest and realistic South Parks of All time !!

I can't remember the last time i laughed throughout the entire show and this one deserves a thumbs up for originality and execution and Kept me engaged and drawn in from start to finish and the plot was genius !!

If your looking for one that represents all generations and can relate to the current times of weight loss influenced by medical pharma and your own struggles then this one will Knock your sox off without out a doubt if you have a soft spot for comedy !!

A+++ Highly Recommended For The Viewer Looking For a Great Laugh and Reset Above and Beyond The Current Times We Are In !!

I loved this one and I don't get why others didn't. But comedy is perspective I guess.

My favorite part was the opening theme. If you're a horror fan, you would recognize it as the same theme as Dawn of the Dead (which just passed its 20th anniversary). The tie between the cell mutation and mindless consumption, to a zombie like culture was perfection.

The word play was good, the realistic and unbearable hoops, and struggles with the health insurance industry, the multiple layers of roasts thrown at Lizzo, the vanity and constant need for validation by the moms. I personally enjoyed the show from beginning to end.

For the comments saying they didn't go far enough or the show isn't the same, I think that's a good thing. A show that does the same level of comedy on a constant basis will make the entirety of the show dull and predictable. Creativity is meant to change and flow in different directions. Some people just don't like change, and if you prefer the old episodes, then just put your device on loop and repeat the old episodes then. I remember when everyone who was mad about the opening theme to the series being updated.

This was a fun, and entertaining special. Totally worth the watch. Don't go in with a negative attitude and high expectations. Just relax and enjoy the show for what it is... making fun of everyone and the popular trends.
