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?
Probably won't watch it, but I do want to make a comment on the "both sides" trend in lefty/centrist humor.
95 percent of the time I hear that a piece or media or a comedian makes fun of both sides, its always them taking shots at the most fringe and easiest targets on the left, and then just standard right wing positions. I assume because they believe the standard left wing positions.
A lot of “centrist” “humor” seems to come down to “sure [the most obvious, least serious of the many issues with leftism] is bad, and sure it’s [light critique of the most surface-level of the left’s many harms], but you know what’s just as silly? Being mad about that! How about them angry right-wingers, am I right?”
They think they're enlightend centrists, but they are just leftists lite
