South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone . The show revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town. It's also know for being crude, tasteless, vulgar, and smart biting satire that pushes the envelope.
The show has been on the air since 1997. We are currently on the 21st season.

As of now if looks like Hulu is the only legal streaming service, that I know of at least. Or you can watch live on Comedy Central Wednesdays.
So share you thought about the current run, past episodes, the upcoming game, or even the past games. So come on down to South Park.

Which is funny because Eminem is known to do Cartman impressions from time to time.

"Growing up, I always thought we were Italian! We did Italian this, Italian that... Italian everything! But then I found out we're actually German so I shit-canned all my Italian stuff and bought a pair of Lederhosen!"
Despite probably never having set foot in either country.
ha!
I honest to god thought the test result was going to be that Randy is a direct descendant of Columbus.
It's the "and then we totally changed all of our family traditions" thing which baffles me. Like, at the point where you have really involved family traditions where you get everyone involved and it brings your family together, why would you abandon that for some totally new traditions? Like at that point it doesn't even really matter if you're Italian or not.

As someone who has sung in ceremonies and powwows... going from the chanting to the "and then he kissed me" and I couldn't stop laughing.

The rest of the episode was really funny but I just. . .don't understand what the Zuckerberg joke was? Or at least the bad dubbing like a martial arts movie. Is that a thing he does or. . .?
The "both sides"-ing of the central issue was a bit eye-rolling too. The usual Libertarian blaming the victim for entering into a contract by signing up for something and "you asked for it" even if the other side is terrible. Yeah I'm sure when most people signed up for Facebook it was for poorly-sourced news.
The only parts that seem weird to me in all the focus they put on crappy TV in those days, but then I remember they came out in the late 90's when basic cable was still relevant.
Apparently they haven't learnt enough from the 2000 elections.

Chaos City was good, I thought the Zuckerberg stuff was showing how he's fake (this VR thing must be the anchor though). The Heidi running joke is actually succeeding for me with how Cartman goes more and more despondent.
The "shtoyle" thing was funny though if only because of how stupid it was.
It's supposed to be like those old badly dubbed kung-fu movies where the lips don't match the dub. I'm not sure why they went with that for this though :P
Maybe South Park isn't for me anymore? I'm a bit sad.
Honestly, the show hasnt been must-see for me for 10 years. It feels a lot like once they stopped being the most shocking thing on TV, they tried way too hard to be about social commentary to the point that a lot of episodes just crawl up their own ass trying to make a point. Not helped by the fact that the writers dont have a clue what they're talking about half the time. Remember the episode about the Canada strike and "Internet money"? Not to mention they tend to be unsettlingly anti-trans and pro-bullying. Maybe they're trying to be iconoclast about a new social issue, but they showed those issues years before they became mainstream, the bullying issue as early as season 3. They even talked about how kids need public schooling rather than homeschooling because you apparently need to be abused to the point of suicide in the playground to learn to socialize properly.
...Oh
Right after I started to lose faith in this season/South Park in general, the hummels at the end turned it around completely. It was too perfect.
I really need this to be a running joke somehow. I don't know how, but I need more of this. I was on the floor.
I didn't really get the thing with Marcus. Why not use a character we actually knew? Was he a parody of someone?
