I still remember watching a documentary about the success of South Park back about 17 or 18 years ago. In it they said they were using South Park as a vehicle to launch their movie directing career, and in 20 years we would look back on it as "the show they did before they became famous movie directors".

Or something like that, I don't remember the exact wording. Still, it is kind of funny to see it still going after they wanted to kill it just a couple years into it's run.

I can see their point in a way. Theres so many people going after trump they feel they dont need to give their take, plus they did make fun of trump, via mr garrison recently, too.

A lot of SP fans actually wish for a return to kids being weird kids and not this news topic of the week type show it is now.

They're not avoiding it, they just want to be controversial in other ways. It's easy to make fun of a Trump, and everyone is doing it. Hey want to challenge themselves and. E different from everyone else.

Also they spent the last 2 seasons making fun of Trump, in sure they're burnt out on it. I know I am.

They pride themselves on being able to make an episode in six days so they can put all these current event things in it, but how about they take two weeks to make an episode and actually come up with a funny story that doesn't rely on current events that we're all living already.

Their show went from the best to eye-roll-inducing. It managed to stay pretty strong into season 18, with only 1 and 16 not being very interesting now, but 19 was fairly mixed (though alright) and 20 was hot garbage...

What has really diminished my interest in South Park is the reliance on current events to tell a story. It makes for less originality and a product that will age very horribly. Even if they did go that route in older seasons, like the Somali pirate episode, it stands on its own merits and doesn't feel like you're watching the fucking Daily Show...

Yeah that works too. I was just trying to give them twice as much time as they normally get.

Even the worst South Park episodes are at least mildly amusing, so I figured doubling the time would be enough.

Honetly, South Park has some genius episodes but it's never really been one of my favorites. The first movie is still a top five animated movie ever for me though. That movie was truly magnificent. One of the best musicals ever.

I actually had no huge issue with that episode. Cartman is usually the character doing stupid stuff that gets called out, and other characters did tell him that what he was doing wasn't okay. And if you think the show's record talking about controversial topics started with that episode then I don't know what to tell you honestly.

Didn't say anything about what the show talked about stated that you didn't have an issue with it until they attacked something related to you. If you're issue is the show covers controversial subjects in a comedic way then you need to apply some ointment to that butt hurt.

Making fun of Trump is the opposite of controversy. It's the mainstream. They're trying to stop their show from being a boring anti-trump show just like every other topical comedy show on TV right now.

Good for them.

They're not avoiding it, they just want to be controversial in other ways. It's easy to make fun of a Trump, and everyone is doing it. They want to challenge themselves and be different from everyone else.

Also they spent the last 2 seasons making fun of Trump, in sure they're burnt out on it. I know I am.


everyone's burnt out on trump but we still talk about it and make fun of him because what else are we gonna do for 4 years? the guy's not gonna suddenly become competent

if you can make fun of the social/political status in america without mentioning him then go ahead and try

It's not controversial if it's a common opinion. Hard to make jokes of something when it's no longer a joke. It's now reality.

This might shock you to know NMB, but there are in fact jokes outside of Trump.

I know this is a revelation for you. Take some time to yourself and think it through.
