Just give me single episodes like we had for the first ten seasons or so and don't be too preachy or try too hard to use the show as a vessel to express political or cultural beliefs.

"Cartman tries to create a racket to make $10M by stealing tooth fairy money" is much more fun than "Cartman reminds us he hates the Jews Part 50".

The rap was great (and even better in context having seen the Logic song) but would've been funnier if Cartman weren't pinning his intended suicide on the girlfriend he's convinced is abusing him when it's the other way around, if anything. It's Cartman's excessive shittiness showing up again which you're hoping gets paid off in it coming back to bite him.

Randy Marsh Adventures have always been hit or miss for me because it comes down to whether or not his indulgence is entertaining (Medicinal Fried Chicken) or grating (More Crap).

Randy's making out with the Native American to try and get his DNA in his mouth so he could be part Native was good, but the rest of it was kind of a miss.

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.

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.

I didn't like or dislike Marcus but it was sort of weird to have this new character show up for no particular reason. It probably shouldn't be weird, but I guess they haven't done it in a while.

It was as bad, if not worse, than PewDiePie showing up and breaking the fourth wall in the last episode of whatever season that was, but at least that was related to the content of the previous episodes.

Waltzing Along posted:

Avoid everything from this season and last season. That's 20/21. Everything before it is pretty high quality with hits and misses. Except season 16. That's a bad season, too with only a couple worthwhile episodes. The first half of that season (the spring run) is total trash. The second part is back to normal, but that's only 7 episodes of which a couple are good.

Must sees:

13: fish sticks, pinewood derby, fatbeard, butters bottom bitch, W.T.F., The F Word
14: tale of scrotie mcboogerballs, medicinal fried chicken, 200, 201, insheeption, coon trilogy, creme fraiche
15: humancentipad, T.M.I., you're getting old, assburgers, broadway bro down
16: sarcastaball
17: informative murder porn, world war zimmerman, ginger cow, the hobbit (and sorta the 3 part game of thrones black friday thing. it would be better as two episodes but the butters stuff is great)
18: go fund yourself, gluten free ebola, grounded vindaloop, cock magic
19: the whole thing because it is a somewhat linked. Not every episode is great but the running storyline works fairly well
20: none at all. just ignore it because everything that did work in 19 failed in 20.
21: none

I generally agree with this list with the inclusion of A Nightmare on Facetime and Poor and Stupid (because I'd always wanted to see SP do a NASCAR episode and was surprised with how well they did with it). Butterballs is worth it for the payoff at the end alone Butters :iceburn:ing his Grandma by telling her she's going to die fairly soon and he'll carry on as a happy-go-lucky kid.

This is the second song playing during the Prison/Old People scene.

I was really into this dude for like a month and then spent $15 to go see him at a bar for the luls and he spent fewer minutes on stage than dollars I spent to get in. He Milli-Vanillied 2 of his songs, then did some fake coke out a plant in the crowd on stage and left and the crowd (Philly) got angry and weird basically immediately.

I'm so stoked they used this song for an episode of South Park

I didn't really hear the song the first time I watched the episode, so the lyrics about collecting money with Mrs. McGillicuddy coming down the hall was amazing the second time through.

"We have to get to them before something stupider happens." is a great line for many things in the run of this show, both the enjoyable stuff and the lame stuff the last couple years. Has anybody else picked up on how they're starting to use Stephen when they need a paranoid character? The drone episode, now the witch delusion.

This was a fun episode that kind of felt like the old days, but honestly the running gag of "girls take a long time to get ready am I rite guys" is such a lazy joke, and would be comedy poison if not for seeing how much it makes Cartman miserable.

Cartman and Heidi at this point is just downright not fun. Him being pissed about missing the festival could've been fun but, instead of finding another way to pay that off, he goes "I should just kill her". It's becoming a constant theme that we're having fun episodes but then (rolls eyes) The Adventures of Cartman and Heidi happens.

It's almost like there's a writer who's miserable in a relationship right now and is using Cartman as a vessel to deal with it and they're just running it into the ground because they're figuring people are watching and going "Yep, I feel your pain.".

JazzFlight posted:

I just want episodes to be centered on Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny/Butters again.
Too many of these new eps are either the parents, side characters, or Cartman only. They're missing the straight-man in comedy who points out the absurdity of the wacky characters, so all we have left are the selfish weirdos taking up all the airtime.

They're almost using Randy Marsh Adventures as crutches at this point and, as people talked in this thread not too long ago, they're hit or miss.

That episode was alright except for yet another misfire in the Cartman/Heidi plot (and, subsequently, Kyle's campaign). Cartman having to deal with the monster he created (and struggling to find ways to do so) was fun last week and it looked like an escalation of that might continue this week until they pulled the old "Let's pile on the Jew!" card again and you knew it was an opportunity wasted.
