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!!!
I don’t recall those episodes even though I definitely saw them, but that really doesn’t feel like that was the intent of the episode… that would be out of character
edit: to be clear I do mean that it would be out of character to show deforestation as heroic, and that yes it must have been satire
They have a super famous bit with the BP CEO acting like a giant dickhead apologizing for the massive oil spill when Obama was president. It’s some of the most on the nose satire of a corporate apology I’ve ever seen.
that’s the nipple rubbing, right? (among other occasions)
because yeah that shit is on brand. I just don’t see them portraying deforestation as heroic
No, the nipple-rubbing was for cable companies (and was more fantastic satire.) The BP CEO included the guy lying naked on a rug in front of a fire place.
Then watch the episode.
They aren’t fucking Colbert Report. I know. I watched all of it.
They looked for these angles. They did a similar thing with trying to make tobacco companies look heroic.
Look man, it’s not some kind of hidden thing that they were (or maybe are) right libertarians. It’s well documented for anyone who cares.
I think there was even “South Park Republicans” floating around in the vernacular for a time (the reference is probably still on Wikipedia).
