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?
Biden is the most farcical president there's ever been. The election was obviously rigged, with the extremely flawed system of "mail-in votes" that nearly all had signatures that didn't match and often also addresses that didn't exist, and all of those votes randomly showing up after 3 am and being counted when the polling stations were "closed", coming out of boxes and bags of votes that were hidden underneath tables or being taken in with coolers, with the votes being 98%+ for Biden. His administration's policies are also the worst we've ever seen, worsening every problem there is, causing incredibly rampant inflation from worsening the covid measures and impeding oil production so much that the US is no longer an oil exporter but rather an importer, increasing the price of transportation and making everything more expensive from the downstream effect of costs. Biden shat his pants at the Vatican, can't form fully coherent sentences without rambling unintelligibly when he's not doped up and following a prompter, and can't stop tripping when going up stairs, being on a bike or when shuffling his feet on a floor with a few wires.
There is so much content that could be parodied right there, and yet I don't recall them making a single joke about him. The producers of South Park are afraid of being controversial and of offending their Hollywood buddies. They are only making "safe" jokes, that often fall completely flat because of how little they apply to reality, how they mischaracterize arguments, and how lightly they criticize abhorrent behaviour.
I've been disappointed with them since season 19, when they introduced PC Principal. If there was ever a joke that missed the mark and that's been going on for way too long, it's that character right there.
With nothing bad happened to pc principal it kind of showed their attitude "well yeah it kinda sucks, but that's the reality we're living in now, get use to it"
