Buddha Box

Its rare these days that a show is brave enough to poke fun at liberals. Actually SP rips on evryone. No one is safe.

I found this episode to be refreshing and funny.

Well people, here I am reviewing again. Without my glasses, it's been too long since I've seen a movie in theaters. This episode features Cartman being diagnosed with anxiety. The very first scene of the episode is Cartman recapping what's been happening in the previous episodes. The shootings, ManBearPig, everything. I thought this would be a satire of Buddhism or Eastern religions.

It really wasn't. Well, maybe I'm not familiar with them enough to understand the jokes. The best part might be the "Muppet Babies" parody with the PC babies. I feel dumb for not checking for new episodes in the past month. The ending is surprisingly heartwarming. This was quite entertaining even if it wasn't one of the best episodes. ***1/2

I get what this episode is trying to do. However, in an attempt to critisize people with made up mental ilnesses, plenty people won't understand it and end up talking bad things about people with actual anxiety and depression.

People that try their hardest every day and battle to do things everyone else does naturally. It's not because they're weak or because they want to victimize themselves. People that never lived throught it can't possibly understand it.

People like that don't openly say anything about it, they just try their best. And a lot of them will be alone and depressed their whole lives, and now they have to deal with hate speech, just because some npc's said they have anxiety when they really don't.

This theme really should be avoided. It just confuses people.

Wow, what a fantastic episode! Very daring to portray society as it is quickly becoming, a society of severe mobile phone addicts and a society that finds an excuse for everything that's wrong with them although of course it's never their fault. People spending more than 8 hours a day watching a phone is simply weird and out of this world, and it's unlikely that 50% of the population all of a sudden has severe anxiety problems, so 'yes' an excuse to be lazy, lame and disconnect from society - well said! So, all of you out there, keep rating this episode as low as you want, but realize you're only doing that because South Park is showing you a mirror image you simply don't want to see or admit to. Again, love it to bits! Now, where's my phone?

This episode is definitely a classic South Park episode in modern times. The social commentary messages were informative and accurate. South Park is dominating this season as one of their best seasons of all time.
