I didn't like the Douche vs. Turd Sandwich thing when they did it the first time since John Kerry wasn't really all that douchey/turdy, just criminally boring and unwilling to defend himself against attacks. The Douche/Turd Sandwich thing applies FAR better to Trump and Hillary. I can't wait to see where this season goes, though. On the other hand, I'm less eager to confront all of the real life bullshit that's going to inspire future plot points.

I'm on the fence on how I feel about continuing serialized seasons. It led to some really great moments last season, but it kind of lost steam near the end and got somewhat convoluted to a point where I don't think any conclusion would have been satisfying. It also means you get an episode like this which served no purpose other than to catch up on the last 10 months and "set the table." That said, I liked that they set up SO many things right off the bat so the season has a clear direction to go.

Wasn't a fan of having the dumb giant douche/turd sandwich thing again, especially for 2016 but the member berries were amazing and made the whole episode.

There is a huge plot hole they overlooked. If people want to not support the anthem they could lay on the ground, that wasn't addressed in the reboot.

LostRook posted:They are protesting because Eric Cartman wasn't being punished, someone we know to be innocent (for once.) The whole thing was weirdly out of touch where PC Principal acted like his hands were tied unless he knew who Skankhunt was, but all they really need to do is learn how to IP ban. It was two problems at once: That Skankhunt was trolling, which like you said, could be solved with an IP ban; and them wanting Cartman to be punished because he's the usual culprit, except that he's not, and they had no hard proof that it was him, so of course PC Principal can't punish him. And what if Skankhunt just finds a way around the IP ban? Maybe it will lead to a plot where the girls try and get even with Cartman, leading to the "Is it right to do bad things just because the target is a bad person? And this time they are innocent" conundrum. And I'm curious of why Kyle's dad Member Berry wine has lead him to become a troll in an elementary school site. Is he trying to remember the good old days when you could say any stupid poo poo without consequences?

This strikes me as funny and a bit on the nose, because putting it this way actually makes GD/TS a lot more apt in my eyes. It makes me feel old, but Howard Dean vs. John Kerry in the primaries was basically the beta test of Bernie v. Hillary. On that side of the fence, there was a progressive/socialist type from Vermont who got kids incredibly excited, and [insert words here about how he lost, by whose hands and why] and we ended up with an absurdly wealthy and entitled Turd Sandwich in both cases. Meanwhile, Dubs and Trump have proven public records of being Giant Douches. Huh. Propaganda Machine fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Sep 16, 2016 |

No matter how you look at it, it's basically an objective fact that these are the two least-liked candidates in history, so there's no better time for the GDvTS metaphor. And even in-universe, it's a metaphor this time around. The candidates are actual people. But the people of South Park perceive them as Douche & Turd. Yet they're still very passionate about defending the Douche or the Turd because it's all they have.

So I guess I'm the only person that really hated the Douche vs. Turd thing this year given that Garrison/Trump is basically a giant racist garbage fire and should be called out on it more but their worthless the truth is in the middle bullshit doesn't work for this.

Disclaimer: I am not an american It seemed to me that their stance was definitely not "truth in the middle" in this case. Even their Trump analogue thinks that Hillary is a better choice. It's just funny framing the current race as DvT.

Yeah before this episode I was thinking they really wrote themselves into a corner, since douche vs turd seems a lot more apt this time around, so it was fun to see them say gently caress it and just bring it back without the metaphor this time. Plus of course they'd have to do something like have Randy complain about everything getting a reboot before launching into the bit.

How would that work at all? If the show starts talking about politics, nobody actually derails anything. The only way to enforce this would be to straight up ignore all political plotlines, or by banning the creators, I guess. On second thought, that seems reasonable.

I will admit, I enjoy this thread showing how crazy CSPAM Hilbots are now that they aren't surrounded by their fellow cheerleaders to shout down any diverging opinions. Not saying that the other teams are better, but the Hilbots have pretty much dominated the political forums and as such have some nasty hivemind.LostRook posted:People coming in to the thread to say nothing more than essentially "how dare they not agree with me 100%" is really the problem.
