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 felt like the third act worked well and really tied everything together. Also, Randy has a great one-liner in this. However, the first two acts just kinda replayed the same few bits over and over without much variety.

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.

The episode was sporadically funny. The theme is probably not the greatest because it is already "overused", but it doesnt make the episode bad. I like how they separated the episodes, like they did before season 19. Very exciting about how this season is going to develop!

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