    good until the transphobia :(

    Ive wanted to become a fan of southpark for a few months now, after constantly hearing praise for the series i wanted to give it a try. I used a random number generator to pick a few episodes and this was one of them. Its funny sure, then they make fun of someone who is presumably a trans celebrity (and if shes not it makes it WAY worse). A running bit in the episode is where they call the woman ugly, one of the insults against her looks is just calling her a "transvestite" which lots of trans people find very offensive, including my self.

    Crazy funny

    I burst out laughing, why did they stop making such episodes! There haven't been episodes like this for years, the part at the end where Butters is lying on the dresser and the broadcaster in the background shouts that he hopes he gets buried, I burst out laughing.

    The day the creators of Southpark make Cartman a really badass again, and Butters in most episodes suffers from the children, it will be great again.

    Meanwhile, from season 19, everything went downhill, I didn't laugh even once.

    There is no shortage of things to criticize, but the foundation is always the best, the first seasons with Hanifar Lopez, for example, are iconic!

    Brilliant episode!

    After the mediocre "Sexual Healing", The Tale Of Scrotie McBoogerballs is once again another excellent south park episode.The plot revolves around the age old issue of controversial novels.The boys get assigned to read "Catcher In The Rye" for school.They dislike the fact, but after hearing that the book is "controversial", they are excited.They then find that the book is not actually controversial at all(especially for today's standards), so Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny decide to write the most disgusting novel of all time.They do so and despite the fact that everybody who reads it throws up, they love the book! The boys just meant to be as gross as possible, however everybody else keeps analyzing the deeper meanings of the novel and praising it.The boys thought they would be in trouble for writing it, so they use Butters as a scapegoat, therefore he gets all the fame and glory.The episode also pokes fun at actress Sarah Jessica Parker.The episode raises the questions "should we ban disgusting novels?" and "what(if any) are the deeper meanings of them?".There have only been two episodes so far, but if Trey and Matt continue like this, the season will for sure be great!

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the beginning the kids were told that John Lennon's killer was inspired by "A Catcher in the Rye". Later, when Butters was being interviewed on television the interviewer said that President Ronald Reagan's attempted assassination was inspired by "A Catcher in the Rye". Which is definitely true for Mark David Chapman, when he was arrested after fatally shooting John Lennon he had a copy of the book on him which he had purchased that day, he wrote on the cover page that he was doing it for the book's main character. After John Hinckley Jr. was arrested following his attempted assassination of President Regan the book was found in his hotel room, though both the FBI and the Secret Service dismissed it as being relevant as he had a dozen other books in his room as well. However those opposed to Catcher and the Rye continue to falsely claim that the book influenced Hinckley, when in fact he was insane and his only motive was to try and impress actress Jodie Foster, who he was obsessed with, by killing Regan.

      Stan: [reading "Catcher In The Rye"] Did you get to *any* dirty parts yet?

      Kyle: [also reading "Catcher..."] No! It's still just some whiny, annoying teenager talking about how lame he is.

      Stan: I don't get it, dude. What's so controversial about this? All he's done is said "shit" and "fuck" a few times.

      Kyle: I know! I'm almost at the end and there's nothing.

      Eric: [enters, slamming door] Mother fucker! The whole thing. I read the whole *fucking* thing! I kept thinking, alright, the cool, offensive stuff must be coming. And then after a hundred pages I was like, *alright*, I guess all the dirty stuff is at the end. And then I got to the last page! And I was all, what da fuck is this! I JUST READ A BOOK, FOR NOTHING!

      Kyle: Why the hell was this book banned?

      Eric: They fucking tricked us, that's what they did! Tricked us into reading a book by enticing us with promises of vulgarity.

      Kenny: [enters, mumbles] Dude, what the fuck is this...

      [rest is indecipherable]

      Eric: We know! We we're just saying that.

      Stan: Why would anyone think this book was obscene and dangerous?

      Leopold 'Butters' Stotch: [just finished reading "Catcher..."] Kill John Lennon. Kill John Lennon. *Kill* John Lennon!
