So many episodes of South Park. I definitely had my "South Park is the best satire" phase in high school but the older I got the more I realized it's just Matt and Trey making a strawman out of whoever they don't like that week. The non strawman episodes can be pretty great. I think the thing that irritates me the most about that show is the hypocrisy and nihilism. Caring about issues is bad, unless they're libertarian ones. Being preachy is bad, unless you're preaching about what Matt and Trey care about, then it's fine and even commendable. Everyone who disagrees with them is just portrayed as a huge babbling idiot.

If memory serves, they don't want to cover Trump now that he's president either, but I haven't watched the show in a while. I don't think they're obligated to make fun of the guy, but it seems hypocritical considering they haven't shown much reservation in the past.

spog posted:Let's be honest: the guy is so far beyond parody, how do you do something outrageous and funny about him, when the real world antics are even worse? A lot of the people they make fun of are already a parody of themselves though. They make fun of them specifically for that reason, then they make those people represent an entire philosophy. It just seems like your priorities are totally hosed when you devote time to ridiculing safe spaces, something that's relatively innocuous, but decide to say nothing about policies that are actually impacting people's lives while claiming to be satire.
