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

Weight loss drugs are all the rage though obtaining them can be problematic. However, some of the mothers of South Park clearly have no problem in obtaining them, as Randy Marsh discovers. Meanwhile, Cartman is desperately wanting to lose weight and a weight loss drug would be ideal for him.

Another hilarious, topical, button-pushing South Park special from Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Not the most obvious subject for a comedy show but Parker and Stone have a knack for turning seemingly-unfunny topics into something hilarious.

Some hysterically funny moments and also a great indictment of the US healthcare system.

This special was quite good, I was actually kept interested throughout the episode. Some of the reoccurring jokes were funny, had a good premise for an episode, and made some absurdist humor that isn't often seen in South Park anymore. Kind of a happy medium of early season South Park and modern topics. And the episode ended on a good song as-well.

The previous specials have been alright, but had been hit or miss when it comes to certain things, such as pacing, and overall plot. In my opinion, this special did a lot better at those two things. Good plot, and good pacing.

The only bad thing about this special was a couple of the jokes didn't land for me, one of the jokes was a little outdated in my opinion. Otherwise, it's decent modern 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.
