Four years of Biden's bullshit and not one word. Including his party's complete radio silence on the Epstein list, the constant child sniffing, the diary of his granddaughter describing all sorts of illicit deeds he did with her that the FBI was sent to retrieve...but yes, South Park is totally the super edgy, non-PC rebel show that doesn't hold anything back, eviscerates everyone, and tells it like it is in 100% biting, smart satire.
They lost touch by 2016. They don't know what they're doing anymore. They don't know what they're supposed to say. They don't understand the issues they present.
Including his party's complete radio silence on the Epstein list,
What is worse, keeping a complete radio silence op Epstein list, or promising to release it and then saying that it doesn't exist and then that Obama and William Jennings Byan wrote it.
Does it matter? Trump and his administration are either lying fucktards or cowardly fucktards with their 180 over the list, but the Democrats and their attack dogs in the media have no room to talk when they kept it out of sight and out of mind for four years. Both are achieving the same thing: hiding its contents.
No one should hide the list, but I think promising to release it and then breaking that promise with blatant lies is worse than never promising to release it to begin with.
Now Democrats get the chance to promise to release it only to break it when they are in power.
Agreed. South Park was at its best at the beginning of its run when it was a surreal comedy deriving most of its humor from profanity and discussions of mature and taboo topics to and between children characters who didn't understand that stuff at all. Sure there was some soapboxing, but it didn't get in the way of the rest of the show. But that changed over time. More and more episodes became about Current Thing of the Week and it got less funny as a result, feeling more like Matt and Trey's weekly rant which would age like milk within a couple weeks after airing once the Current Thing stopped being topical.
I should have been more clear, by 'traditional animation days' I meant when the bulk of animation done across the board, not just at South Park was drawn on paper and transferred to cels for ink and paint. Then to glass sheets for framing and picture taking.
But you're right. As far as I know, the very first episode was construction paper and cardboard cutouts. But I don't know if beyond the pilot and maybe an episode or two of the first season if they continued that.
It was just the pilot that did the paper cutouts thing. But I miss when they still made it appear as though it were animated that way. Had a lot more charm when the backgrounds were as simplistic as the characters.
Not sure how it ties to the story, but this clip is heavily hinting (straight up yelling at the viewer) that Saddam Hussein is possessing Trump’s body.
On one hand, I do appreciate that people aren't dropping the Epstein thing, even if it's just becoming a Democrat talking point they haven't cared about before it became a wedge issue against Trunp. On the other, I suspect this might be some gay act of solidarity with Colbert: "we have a 'fuck you' contract with Paramount so we can make fun of Trump all we want!" I'll just have to wait and see what else they do this season. South Park has been spotty the last several years, most of it has just been a single hour long special per year, even after they no longer had the covid excuse to not go into full production. And I haven't rewatched an episode in even longer. At this point I'd be fine with dropping the show entirely, like I did with the Simpsons decades ago.
TBF they did reference it. They're mad at POTUS so they go to Garrison's house and he's just sitting there watching TV with his boyfriend and they say he stopped doing that.
After their great "Where has my country gone" eps they turned into TDS when they mentioned Trump last. Waiting for a HQ rip on my high seas site to watch this. Looks like it's not airing on Canadian TV at all when I searched.
I’ve watched since the beginning and haven’t seen this episode yet but it’s recorded. They usually hit both sides but I have noticed a bit less of that since Trump came along and they really passed on an opportunity mocking the media downplaying of summer of Floyd riots

They became Hollywood, with Hollywood friends. If you aren't disgusted by it, you become part of it.
Once they stopped living in the real world, they couldn't tell stories that make sense to real people anymore.

I think South Park was more funny when they weren't a current news show.
When they were doing their own thing, making their own stories, it was fun and interesting.
But that was back during the traditional animation days, too.

Pretty sure South Park was always made in Maya. It was never stop motion cutouts.

Yes. They use Maya. The very first thing was done with cutouts, but once they got their deal with Comedy Central they switched to Maya.
This is the most in-touch they've been in years and it's still cringe.
Trump stepping into bed with 'Satan'.
This is 'Mark Cuban rapping about Trump at the Colbert show' level cringe.
Not sure how it ties to the story, but this clip is heavily hinting (straight up yelling at the viewer) that Saddam Hussein is possessing Trump’s body.
Oh, right. This was originally a Saddam Hussein bit.
They're actually doing the "Trump has a small dick" joke that Rubio made up and Colbert ran into the ground a decade ago.
Paramount just paid 1.5b for cartoon Colbert.

They did just get a new contract worth $1.5 billion to Paramount so you are more than likely correct.
For those that haven't watched since it's inception, the Trump character is saddam hussein. Literally 0 sense.
Wait, it's no longer Garrison? The hell? They can't even be consistent?
Garrison is going to FUCK THEM TO DEATH over this...
TBF they did reference it. They're mad at POTUS so they go to Garrison's house and he's just sitting there watching TV with his boyfriend and they say he stopped doing that.
Makes perfect sense- they've become woke liberals who see Trump as a dictator.
They literally outright said it on the episode.
I guess reality is suddenly capable of being mocked again despite SP saying it couldn't do that after Orange Man round 1.

Why is Trump Canadian?
Because they're redoing the Saddam bit, and he debuted in the Terrance & Phillip "Not Without My Anus" special where everyone was drawn in T&P style.

The showrunners are a jew and a white beta.
Why does Trump look Canadian?
Because they're redoing the Saddam bit, and he debuted in the Terrance & Phillip "Not Without My Anus" special where everyone was drawn in T&P style.
And nonstop "Trump has a small dick" jokes, just like Colbert.
