South Park (1997)

Review by jamesrupert2014

South ParQ Vaccination Special

South Park

7/10

Love it or hate it: there's something to amuse and/or offend everyone

Mr. Garrison returns from his presidential term and finds the boys caught-up in a squabble about access to vaccines. For all its over-the-top insensitivity, political incorrectness, brutal satire, and scatological humour, sometimes South Park seems to be the bilateral conscious of pop-culture (or at least of the pop-culture that interests me). Not many shows would support the rights of followers of organisations such as QAnon to hold, and to express, their opinions. The story is moderately amusing but will be dated to oblivion within a few months, some of the self-referential meta-humor was a bit strained, and there really wasn't enough material to fill an hour timeslot. The spin on the classic Bugs cartoon 'Duck Amuck' (1953) was an amusing way to answer the unanswerable and tie up the story (and to bring back a beloved character in a striped top-hat). As always, Butters is a highlight, especially as a flag-waving anti-vaxer whose motive was just to get out of the house. Fun, especially for fans, but not as good as last year's 'The Pandemic Special'.
