End up in Solitaire. Dead

 

[buttery fistful]

lmao this song is incredible

 

[Trojita]

That song 😂😂😂😂😂

 

[MIMIC]

I am crying at the farting old lady xD

 

[vatstep]

This Marcus character is the worst

 

[Jarrod38]

I am crying at the farting old lady xD

The piss stains on her is something else.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

The boys singing is too great.

Edit: Holy shit Grandpa Marsh!!

 

[MIMIC]

Jesus xD He destroyed her

 

[t hicks]

That was probably the best South Park I’ve seen in recent memory
This season has been great so far

 

[Trojita]

I knew he was going to swing that shit lmao

 

[MrSaturn99]

"Now you know how we do shit here."

 

[Ogodei]

This episode seemed a bit on-the-nose. The topicality was more appropriately subtle, but the metaphor of the old-folks home was too blatant to work.

 

[Strike]

I am crying at the farting old lady xD

Yeah, that was killing me. Especially how Stan, Randy, and Sharon we're acting around her.

 

[Meatfist]

Holy shit, the song with Killer Mike 😂

 

[Dynasty]

The song was amazing.

 

[adamsapple]

Damn.

That wasn't the level of power I was expecting from those figurines lol.

This was a good episode.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

ok, that was funny.

 

[Bersi]

This will never not be funny.

Great episode,i hope we see more of that marcus kid in the future.

 

[davepoobond]

The Marcus kid was pretty funny. Was he Columbo or something? Not sure what the exact reference is

 

[Jackpot]

Doctors bit seemed tacked on at the end, considering if you want to do anything relevant on opioids you need to mention the pharma industry working in concert with the government to push drugs.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Great episode, this season is so much better than last. Killer Mike song was hilarious too.

 

[JeTmAn81]

This Marcus character is the worst

Hmm. A little too worst?

 

[Audioboxer]

Was last nights episode good? Wasn't the biggest fan of last weeks. Will see last nights later tonight.

 

[Sanjuro]

I thought last night's episode was really solid, and arguably the best of the season.

 

[perfectchaos007]

The hip hop in this ep was low key fire

 

[Rentahamster]

The hip hop in this ep was low key fire

Yup, and the barbershop quartet pop covers were pretty funny too.

 

[curi0usBystander]

Lol at the nursing home/prison and the solitare room. What I don't know is who was that Marcus Kid referencing.

.

I love the fact that they just freeze while he's there.

 

[kirblar]

Lol at the nursing home/prison and the solitare room. What I don't know is who was that Marcus Kid referencing.

I think he's their version of a "Sherlock Holmes" type character.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Well that was surprisingly dumb in a good way. Felt like old South Park with an actual plot.

Also that moment you realize it is an original song.

 

[buttery fistful]

Hmm. A little too worst?

I laughed. Love Marcus

 

[Clydefrog]

Hahah, Peppa Pig

 

[zorlaczerohero]

This will never not be funny.

Great episode,i hope we see more of that marcus kid in the future.

Funny every time because I had a mate at high school, yes HIGH SCHOOL, who would do this.

 

[Trojita]

The rap songs always make me laugh. I can't stop laughing every time Cartman uses the whistle too.

 

[Dangansona]

Another classic alt-right South Park episode about the exploitative nature of the Pharmaceutical industry.

And for what it's worth I assumed Marcus was supposed to be J Edgar based on his face and odd way of speaking.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

this episode was amazing. Jesus. THIS Matt and Trey. THIS is classic South Park.

 

[Surface of Me]

Best episode of the season easily. I fucking lost my shit at the barbershop quartet bit.

 

[SaintGalgo]

I was really worried after the first episode, but other than that I like the season so far.

 

[Real Hero]

I was really worried after the first episode, but other than that I like the season so far.

Same, big step up from season 20. It's not up there with season 19 yet though

 

[UnnecessaryTodd]

Marcus is one of the most fun characters they've had in a long time. I hope he sticks around, I love him.

 

[Korigama]

Loved this episode.

 

[NameGenerated]

The rap in the middle of the episode was one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time.

 

[Bitanator]

I love Stans grandpa, he was great in this episode and the cash for gold from a few seasons back.

 

[shira]

Everything played out exactly as expected, except the beating at the end.

 

[Kaizer]

I just saw the Zuckerburg episode & yeah.............. I didn't get what they were going for at all. Anytime Zuckerburg was on screen it was just dull.

 

[loki 16]

This season has been great. The rap song was FUEGO.

 

[Frankie Williamson]

I just saw the Zuckerburg episode & yeah.............. I didn't get what they were going for at all. Anytime Zuckerburg was on screen it was just dull.

Yeah, I was in the same boat. I had no idea what the fuck bad martial arts movie dubbing was supposed to be a metaphor for.

I did laugh since I'd already played Fractured But Whole and knowing how the super hero stuff was going to end up.

 

[Audioboxer]

I thought last night's episode was really solid, and arguably the best of the season.

Yeah, it was better than last weeks. I think my favourite is still Holiday Special.

In news related to South Park

You get the sense South Park wants to be more progressive than the show's structure allows, which again calls into question why South Park is being used as the vehicle for these jokes at all.

I get why people still watch the show, and by extension, want to play this game. It's goofy and ridiculous and quite often, there are really funny jokes that don't come at the expense of anyone. The world's in a bad spot, and justifiably in many cases, everyone does suck. Despite being on the air for 21 seasons, South Park feels like the kind of show that could punch back in a satisfying way. But every time I revisit the show, whether it's on TV or through a video game, the ratio is off. For every joke that lands, another one makes me feel uncomfortable, even if I end up chuckling along the way.

I'm not asking for people to stop watching South Park, or even to pass on playing The Fractured But Whole. Part of the reason I'm continuing to play it, and the reason I'll finish it, is because I'm interested in my reaction to it. All I'm asking is that if you, like me, have enjoyed South Park for a long time, it's worth examining why you're laughing at certain jokes—and whether you would be if you were the butt of them.

I really don't understand why people on this side (politically), keep falling over themselves in 2015~2017 (PC Principal really kicked off the anger in 2015 for the left, season.... 19) to act and behave like the Conservative right of 10+ years ago. I guess history just repeats itself sometimes.

The bolded is precisely the point. It seems nearly everyone is okay with South Park till it jokes about them and then it's crossing a line. Have more damn conviction and confidence in your own beliefs than to get bent out of shape the second anyone satirises or jokes about what you hold close to you. Especially an animated cartoon that airs on broadcast TV.

 

[Real Hero]

PC Principal really was a big moment for people turning on the show which is funny when in the entire arc of the season where he is a good guy. People seriously underestimate how self reflective that season was by Matt and Trey on where south park fits into the modern world. A lot of people who I side with politically choose to focus on it in a vary surface level way unfortunately

Well, that, combined with the waves of people who claimed the show was pro-Trump (and still try to) really showed some asses for who actually watched season 19 and 20.

 

[Basoes]

so the episode last night, wasn't as good as the previous ones but it's nice to see a Halloween episode, feels like we haven't gotten one in awhile
