It's almost like the Zuckerberg in South Park is entirely fictional and with a poorly impersonated voice?

That was his voice. They used audio samples.

Whether it made any sense or not I can't stop chuckling at badly dubbed Zuckerberg.

I'm still giggling thinking about it. I think that was one of my favorite celebrity depictions on the show.

I thought Zuckerberg was pretty funny too and I hope he’s in the game. My favorite South Park celebrity gags are when they have a random inflection that isn’t really something the person does in real life.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

This is still my favorite one off episode ever.

Taco-Flavored Kisses or whatever it’s called is great, but that was the heyday where it felt like every episode for like 3 seasons was just making fun of celebrities, but the idea that Ben Affleck would have sex with a 10 year olds hand just flew totally under the radar and I don’t remember anyone giving a poo poo about how they were portrayed.

NEW YORK, October 16, 2017 – Beloved entertainers are being cut down in their prime due to massive overdoses of opiates in an all-new episode titled “HUMMELS & HEROIN” on Wednesday, October 18 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.

Drugs are flowing into South Park. A passionate young health advocate has traced the source of these illegal meds and is about to expose Stan Marsh.

Fans will continue to have next-day access to new episodes, as well as the entire “South Park” library, across all internet-connected devices with a Hulu subscription.

Comedy Central's "South Park" launched on August 13, 1997. The series airs Wednesday nights at 10:00 p.m. and repeats later that night at Midnight (all times ET/PT). “South Park” season 20 will begin rolling out on Comedy Central channels internationally in October.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the co-creators of “South Park.” Parker, Stone, Anne Garefino and Frank C. Agnone II are the Executive Producers of the Emmy® and Peabody® Award-winning "South Park." Eric Stough, Adrien Beard, Bruce Howell and Vernon Chatman are Producers. Chris Brion is the Creative Director of South Park Digital Studios. "South Park's" Web site is SouthPark.cc.com.

The uncensored episodes are also available for download on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, XBOX Live, Google Play, Sony Entertainment Network, Vudu and Verizon Flexview.

It's a piece of JUNK!
I caught the Zuckerberg episode late due to a very eventful week, but I thought it was a great silly episode. I didn't link the whole kung-fu dubbing thing to the Puerto Rico video (which makes total sense in retrospect); I just thought it had something to do with him being the physical, robot-like manifestation of a creepy FB algorithm, and the adults being completely clueless that they weren't talking to a real, credible person. Regardless, it was simply funny in a stupid sort of way.

The cynical part of me wonders if Hulu encouraged them to bash Netflix, but whatever. It's still true.

Speaking of adults not being able to tell what's real on Facebook, this was my favorite quote of the episode:

Butters' Dad posted:

Look, we all know there's a lot of mixing of truth and fiction that's been on Facebook lately. And children lack the cognitive ability to determine what's true and what isn't on Facebook. That's why we now have young kids dressing up in costumes, eating poop, and having sex with antelopes in our town.

Unless they're going a different direction, the only time I can remember Hummels being referenced in South Park was when Satan and Chris moved in together during Do The Handicapped Go To Hell?.

That would be a fun callback.

I hope Heidi is in the game. (of course she will be)

And you're going to have to sit through a cutscene in which Heidi is excited to see him and he tilts his head forward and rolls his eyes, then answers her disinterestedly because there are apparently people (or maybe just the writers) who still find it funny at this point.

Trey's thoughts on this at the end of S20: "We don't want [Heidi] to go away, but I really liked how in the end [Cartman] was now a dude stuck in a relationship." Nothing about Cartman being happy in it, just stuck.

And now? He's been acting stuck all season long, not happy. So yeah, serious characterization.

Somebody sees that and gets a laugh either from sympathy or entertainment, which doesn't compute because it's a comedy vacuum.

Isn't black mastermind already?

I mean, isn't your skin color what denotes the difficulty? Lightest easiest, darkest hardest.

It's just a joke that doesn't correspond to an actual game mechanic, apparently, and it was all along.

Or at least that's what they claim. It seems to me that they backtracked when people yelled at them on the internet, which is lovely.

Exploration is ill-advised.
The race slider indicates how NPCs in the game treat you, apparently, which may or may not have some added mechanical effects (they don't give you stuff when they otherwise might, maybe?) but is separate from the difficulty levels.

The only knock against it I've seen is that its basically the same town as Stick of Truth (which makes sense) so the sheer wonder of actually playing a interactive season of South Park isn't as fresh the second time around. Still suppose to pretty good game with a much better combat system.

Ha ha, my 3 year strategy of totally ignoring Stick of Truth so that I’ll really love The Fractured... but Whole was the correct move!

The complaint that turned me off the most was the “healing items are overly plentiful” so I do hope that has been addressed
