It just seemed like a mix of edgy try-hard silliness and enlightened centrism for years, to me anyway. Because it's that specific mix, it occasionally (hell, even frequently) makes good points that people go along with, but it misses often enough too. It's just a very easy show to just go along with until you don't. And as the political climate gets more and more serious, the South Park method of mocking it gets more and more outdated to everyone but the most enlightened of centrists. A lot of political humor these days is focused on being brutally sincere, not aloof and above it all. Irony is dead and South Park's style of humor is behind the times. Plus the writing quality noticably went downhill. Even as someone who enjoyed the games and seasons surrounding those, there were a lot of duds. The last season I watched I can't remember anything about other than they did an episode about how anxiety was fake which was not only a toxic premise but didn't even have funny jokes. In other words it's just the same thing people are saying about everything. People change, media hasn't changed all that much. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
