Trey Parker and Matt Stone are probably two of the most courageous and talented satirist the world truly needs right now.

Props to them for being one of the only people who views Woke as something else other than just the cringe way of saying “Political Correctness”

Truly admirable and sagacious comedy CHADS!!!

    Ehh, they are funny but they have had some Ls in the past. Two episodes come to mind:

    • Both parties are the same
    • Comparing being trans to identifying as a dolphin.

      Bro they’ve done 340ish episodes, they’re going to miss from time to time. 99.5% is pretty damn good.

      They’ve absolutely been on the wrong side before, but they’ve also acknowledged past mistakes. Climate change is a big example.

      We’re all wrong about stuff - and that’s okay. It’s what we do after we learn we’re wrong that matters.

      I grew up in a time and place that had me believing homosexuality was immoral and that white men were being discriminated against by affirmative action. What I believed was wrong, and is not representative of who I am now. But I didn’t have social media or a television network keeping a record of every time I said something awful.

      wp:Talk:South Park Republican#Pushing Republican Views

      (my bold)

      Yes they certainly do. Is everyone forgetting what Kyle says at the end of the Bin Laden episode? “America may have its problems, but it’s our home, and if you’re not gonna root for your home team, you might as well get the hell out of the stadium.”

      Another thing, Bush has been shown a few times on the show. Normally when Bush appear in a popular cartoon, he is made fun of for his incredible stupidity. Bush has NEVER BEEN MADE FN OF ON SOUTH PARK. They rarely give him lines, and when he does speak, Parker and Stone do not make him say anything stupid. This is implicitly pushing a Republican viewpoint on the audience and makes them believe Bush really isn’t all that bad when it is historical fact that he is hands-down the worst American president ever.
