"Protestors armed with tiki torches and confederate flags take to the streets of South Park. Randy comes to grips with what it means to be white in today's society," according to the episode's description.

White nationalists made recent headlines after a protester at one of their rallies in Charlottesville was killed and numerous others were injured.

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone told The Hollywood Reporter they hoped to return to more traditional one-off storylines with the kids this season, rather than get too heavy with politics, which inadvertently happened last year after they decided to make Mr. Garrison a Donald Trump- like character, which as was done because it was assumed Hillary Clinton would the elected president.

Parker said he liked that Cartman got a girlfriend last season and that might stick, but it looks like Member Berries may be done.

South Park season 21 premieres Sept. 13.

Nice.

Is that... is that the motherfucking Master Chief?

 

[Trojita]

Seems to tie in with AI voice apps (taking our jobs)

Is that Master Chief? lol

 

[BY2K]

Oh wow the Master Chief cosplay.

 

[kirblar]

Not surprising that they're going after them after seeing the preview footage of Fractured But Whole. (the scene after you talk to Mackey)

 

[brickarts295]

Oh man it's that time of the year again.

 

[Sanjuro]

Halo is dead.

 

[SwiftDeath]

lol at using the master chief to symbolize the militarization of the police

 

[Trojita]

:O at Heidi x Cartman might still be a thing. I hated the seeming end of their relationship due to the fucked up ending caused by the election.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I'm going to guess that Matt & Trey don't take kindly to these types around here.

Spoiler

People accusing them of being right-wing are completely misguided.

Cartman as douchebag faux-feminist boyfriend was amazing.

 

[Dangerblade]

Going by what they said about one-off episodes for this season I really hope this isn't the start of a season-long arc.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

They took our words?

Always surprised me when people did that to be honest.

 

[snausagesUK]

The thing that's missing in that above image I feel is that the big youth presence in these white nationalist/alt-right demos. It's not just deydurkerdurrs rednecks

Laughing with instead of at Cartman.

All because PC Principal lol.

Did you see the Master Chief cosplayer?

 

[Xevren]

More tradiational one off storylines?! Yay!

The last two seasons had people talking out their ass here when it was obvious they hadn't even watched the latest seasons. All started because of the meme spamming of PC Principal and people ironically getting triggered(!) over it.

 

[Slaythe]

I've recently rewatched a lot of the seasons, and god damn was the last one really awful.

I have full faith in them, it was just a bump they hit. I'm sure they learned a lot from it.

 

[shamanick]

but how will they continue to pander to the alt-right?

They're not left-wing, either.

 

[His Majesty]

They're not left-wing, either.

Stone and Parker are neo-nazi's confirmed

 

[Trojita]

Trey and Matt are still dumb as fuck about Global Warming. At the very least their message about it is.

 

[Bersi]

Oh wow,didn't know the new season is almost here.

 

[BriGuy]

Dr. Frankenstein takes on his monster.

Yeah, I know that's super unfair to South Park and I'm not being entirely serious, but part of me feels like a lot of the 20-something alt right crowd are probably fans who aren't "in" on a lot of the show's jokes.

That said, what a turn around from the PC Principal angle last season. I think that world is effectively dead.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Are they gonna do a Fractured But Whole tie in you think?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Please don't end the episode with a shitty Both Sides monologue. Please.

 

[wandering]

Stone and Parker are neo-nazi's confirmed

Oh wow, you're really clever.

 

[Previous]

I love South Park, can't wait for the new season.

 

[Xe4]

The last two seasons were pretty bad to be honest (though it's been going steadily downhill since season 12 anyhow). Hopefully this is a return to form, but we'll see.

South Park is best when it's just a bunch of kids going around on crazy adventures. The less involved it is in politics, the better, though it's impossible to be totally non-political, especially in today's climate.

 

[John Rabbit]

They're going to "both sides" the shit out of this aren't they?

 

[Slayven]

Please don't end the episode with a shitty Both Sides monologue. Please.

You asking for too much, it will be the lazy "Ehh everything sucks, why care?" bullshit

 

[Trojita]

Are they gonna do a Fractured But Whole tie in you think?

If anything like the Black Friday episode, a joke at the end of an episode would be expected at most.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Ohh, I might have to watch this.

 

[Syder]

They're going to "both sides" the shit out of this aren't they?

As per usual, yes, of course.

Still looking forward to Fractured though.

Agreed. They made stupid jokes you could laugh at but morons took them at face value and now you have people that will quote South Park when discussing politics.

 

[QuantumBro]

After Matt and Trey got Trump elected by not praising Hillary enough, I'll pass on any new South Park.

 

[Aleh]

I liked the last two seasons to be honest. But still glad to see they'll be going back to the one off episodes style again!

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

Parker and Stone are cool and the world would be a better place if more ppl were like them.

 

[DarkKyo]

I've recently rewatched a lot of the seasons, and god damn was the last one really awful.

Which is sad because I quite enjoyed the season-long story about ads and gentrification in season 19. But yeah season 20 sucked major donkey balls.

 

[Sou Da]

They already off base in how they're depicting these guys from that image alone.

[Abilidebob]

What is Halo doing there?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

The world would be unbearably cynical.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Hahaha, oh my god. Can't wait!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

No, they won't. Will people debating the subject do so in good faith this time?

wat

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

 

[Trojita]

wat

They have been trolling in all the past relevant threads.

 

[DarkKyo]

They're going to "both sides" the shit out of this aren't they?

Give me a fucking break. There are tons of issues they haven't "both sides-ed", you're being disingenuous.
