A Boy and a Priest

I think this may be their last season. They've poked fun at everything, and now they are holding the mirror to the people who watch them: everything sucks, but you suck too. You got used to all the bad things everybody around you happens.

Ah well, we have to take it and watch the last episodes, we're doing penance like the priest at the end, who understands the joking is deserved.

Also, keep an eye on Butters. He's the anti-Cartman, and towards the end of this series run is emerging as the greatest character. Cartman gave us the cynicism, the funny evil, the demolishing aspect of this show, showing everything sucks.

Butter is the opposite, the candid, foolish innocence that is invincible because is so good. The cynical ones appear unbreakable, but it's the good-kid-at-heart who is truly invincible. Maybe there is a recipe there for getting rid of the social ennui typical of the last 20 years.

I loved everything about this episode, absolutely amazing, loved the way it potrayed the catholic church

South Park has always been a blend of comedy and satire, but this season the emphasis has been heavily on dark satire while tackling very controversial subjects in a way that only this show can. Obviously there is nothing funny about school shootings or child abuse cover ups, but South Park satirizes our reactions to them and gets laughs out of the absurdity.

The ironic #cancelsouthpark hashtag implies they are going to be pushing the boundaries throughout this season even by their own standards. The show has changed from what it used to be. If you miss the random zaniness of the very early seasons you won't like it, if you appreciate the show's unique ability to skewer our culture then you will enjoy.

South Park is back and powerful as ever. This episode was an awesome portrayal on the recent controversy lately on priests.

South Park is usually topical, was this? The issues with the Catholic priesthood are how many years old? Five, maybe ten, years ago this would have been better. Fresh topics = fresh humour. This wasn't just stale, it was dusty and crumbling.
