Disclaimer: I didn't pay for Paramount + to watch this special. I watched it on a website. Just wanted to clarify that I didnt give another shitty streaming service my money lol
I thought it was okay, but I knew they were gonna pull the "muh both sides" shit. The sub plot with randy was kinda funny too. Still isnt as funny as older south park though, and a user said here in another thread that South Park isnt as anti establishment and contrarian as it used to be, and he's right. South Park has so much stuff to make fun of in this clown world, but I feel like they are holding back a bit. Is it just me?
After Trump won (or maybe it was more after he lost) they went not full TDS but definitely worse
You can tell they were writing with the anticipation that Trump would lose 2016. Made him over the top and crazy while Hillary was portrayed as relatively sane and normal. Gone were the days of giant douche vs turd sandwich. They clearly were taking a side (or had their marching orders from their Overlords).
Was hilarious how they had to write around that when Trump won. They worked hard to suppress their TDS but clearly it was there
AFAIK it was also the first time they didn't make an episode for either side winning because they were so sure he would lose. That's why the episode was delayed.
