You can probe it watching all the old characters appearing through the episode, specially Mr. Garrison back at his old-self after being the 45th President. And he still the same, no 'flanderization' here. Neither him nor anybody on this show and that's majestic after 24 seasons. I don't recall any show having such a consistently quality for so long.

The boys plot was fun and striking with the story actually focused on them. Since Tegridy Farms started becoming tedious this was really refreshing. Also after a long time of being almost ignored, Kenny gained protagonism again. Who didn't appear was Randy, perhaps a sarcastic response from the creators to those complaining about him owning the show.

About the QAnon people, they nailed everything with them. As a Libertarian -the real Right- it was fun to see how out of mind conservatives have become. Not to mention about how they're crying because of this Guess who's the real crystal generation? Anyway, I also loved the animations of celebrities and politicians. Priceless.

There was a lack of the "shock"factor of old-school South Park. But after all this is a 45 min. episode that never gets you bored, and for a 24 years old show that's enough. I'm one of those who don't need to laugh every single second to enjoy a good story, that's why I'm a defender of the "serialization", which was nothing but the show maturing.

I give it an 80% approval. PERIOD.

All of the satire in this episode was funny but there was a couple of twists at the end that come completely out of nowhere. The character drama was far superior to anything in the last 3 seasons but they completely disregard Kenny's development for the sake of a unfunny relationship = bromance gag. I don't understand why they gutted all his agency despite the fact he's the most morally righteous and actively just of the 4.

The Vaccination Special was excellent. It was clever and accurately addressed everything going on in the REAL WORLD. All these 1/10 reviews are sour Republicans.

I find it hilarious how this comment section is filled with so many angry Republicans. Crying because a show that's literally made fun of EVERY DEMOGRAPHIC KNOWN TO MAN FOR OVER TWO DECADES laid into them for an episode. Crying because this episode didn't make fun of Joe Biden when it's LITERALLY THE FIRST EPISODE SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE. This show has made fun of Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump... and it will make fun of Biden. This comment section truly goes to show who the real "snowflakes" are.

There's a reason there are literally NO successful conservative comedians. Nor are there any "funny" conservative shows. Literally, none. Because conservatives aren't funny. They can't dish a joke nor can they take one. Not a funny bone in their body.

Enough said.

It was very funny and worth your time watching it. It satires so many ridiculous things about last year. And there first time braking the 4th wall properly was well timed. Trey and Matt don't want to stay stale. So they are always looking for ways to mix things up. The splitting apart of the boys perfectly represents how this divided political america has destroyed so many friendships and families.

The episode also tried a different style, mixing in some more elements from the older episodes and blending that with how they have been doing them recently (it was a nice break to not see randy until the end., those are often the weakest ones recently except the china episode)

This one will likely offend people from both sides of the isle.. So if you're level headed and dont subscribe to any specific ideology, I think you'll find this just as funny as I did.

I thought it was okay, not bad but not that great, and I didn't really like it more than the Pandemic Special. It's not terrible, just not amazing.

Such a fun episode, we get to see growth from the characters I've loved for so many years, as well as so many nostalgic but not forced moments that I couldn't help but smile at. It's a fun, twisted, dark, and absolutely hilarious little episode- and perhaps the weirdest episode in years. South Park is truly back at it again.

Fantastic episode! It's great to have Mr. Garrison back - who is dealing with the repercussions of his presidency. One of the most cleverly thought out installments of South Park and had me laughing throughout. Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who are notoriously unbiased in terms of Republican and Democratic ideals, have really begun to lay into the delusional fantasy world that the Republican Party has become. Any reviews saying otherwise and all the "thumb downs" on positive ratings are more than likely Republicans who didn't get what they were hoping for after all the build up for the vaccination special. However, South Park has never discriminated in terms of who they make fun of over their 20+ year history. The plot lines will be eagerly anticipated in the coming seasons with all that has gone on in the world in recent events!

People giving this 3/10 are delusional, this was decent. Trey and Matt being in the Elite photograph along with Oprah was hilarious. I've watched this show religiously on repeat for the past 16 years and it's still going strong. I will always watch South Park right up to the very last episode.

I really like the episode, it hit on a bunch of Issues, that no one is really talking about in a civil manner. We all have different views about social; political; & Family matters. I'm not here to get into a political debate. But the episode hit on so many issues, and Mr. Garrison's last line in the show; was absolute gold. It's interesting, how we heard so much about The Hollywood elite,in the beginning of the pandemic. But, it's as if, no one is talking about it anymore. Interesting. I hope everyone who reads this, is doing well, staying safe; & Staying aware, most importantly. Take care.

• So long the days where you see the boys role-playing, playing with their toys, acting like 'innocent kids but with filthy mouth'.... they are now adults, too mature, complicated, basically 30-40 years old in kids characters...they aren't innocent happy or even friends!!
• Not funny?? I don't recall having a single laugh the entire episode?? Some smiles here and there but laughs? none really
• I watch South Park to have a break! have a laugh watching them 4 kids in their quiet little red-neck po-dunk white-trash mountain town ..... However, you see Qanon, COVID, red vs blue, left vs. right, and NOT really that funny (because unfortunately, this is real life here, we were living in dark/black comedy era) I was watching the news but animated ...that's all

It is not a lazy attempt, but it wasn't funny to me....it isn't South Park to me

These hourlong specials are the best thing in existence!

I did not even pay attention all the way through, it got so boring. The jokes are just flat and too on the nose and Kyle and Stan were annoying. I hope the creators are not losing their touch. Please let this not turn into Simpsons, Family guy or American dad. Better stop than ruin it. Long gone are the classic hilarious eps.

Don't listen to the Q reviews. This episode is amazing I am really glad we got Mr Garrison back he was wonderful in this episode

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'.

I admitted to missing the continuity that the previous special had. Randy and his Tegridy Farms plot only appeared at the very end. Still, it was awesome to see all those old characters back again. Even God had a cameo! I...assume that God wouldn't need to get a vaccine? Anyway, this special (episode?) features the four boys trying to get the Covid-19 vaccine to the teachers so things can go back to normal at school.

There's an odd subplot where Mr. Garrison has to get the vaccine, but Mr. White was being changed by the elitists. Trey Parker and Matt Stone themselves appeared on the elitist board. I guess the joke was that they, the real life creators of the show, were messing with the characters? It's hard to understand, but it's always great to see this show back. I thought the Qties might have been a reference to that much hated film "Cuties". A pity Joe Biden doesn't appear as a character, nor does it chronicle Trump's downfall. ***1/2

It was enjoyable to watch but in the pandemic special kenny was killed by the swat team. And in this episode hes alive. Just a little goof. I still enjoyed this episode.

Another year, another South Park COVID-related extended episode, "South ParQ: Vaccination Special," following up on the prior "Pandemic Special." Right from that title, there's a sense of greater optimism with vaccinations, albeit with the "Q" indicating lingering political problems in the America that Trey Parker, Matt Stone and company satirize. The gags here over teachers and the masses being jealous of the elderly's being vaccinated and Qanon conspiracy-theory stupidity are hilarious, if repetitive. The post-presidency of Mr. Garrison is pretty funny early on, at least, too, as the Colorado town's residents gawk with annoyance at him for the destruction his administration wrought. If you don't know who he's a stand-in for, you might've been living under a rock the past four years, let alone not be familiar with the "South Park" TV series.

The bro-ships, or whatever, between the four perennial schoolboys wasn't as amusing. It doesn't live up to the outrageousness of Randy and Mickey Mouse copulating with a bat and pangolin in the "Pandemic Special." And, the hand-of-the-animator reflexivity that is made out of fulfilling the Qanon nonsense is rather too derivative in a computer-animated fashion of "Duck Amuck" (1953). Still, hit-and-miss as it is, "South Park" may as usual be counted on for a few laughs.
