Why did the fast food cabal have a KFC rep? Wasn’t KFC previously driven out of South Park? Or did they come back at the end of Cartman’s KFC smuggling plot (I don’t recall if so)? ---

And how was Kenny in this episode if he died in a previous episode? ---

The one-hour South Park documentary explained why season openers seem to be weaker than the other episodes. Quite interesting for this South Park fan. ---

or completely maddening. WHY do they have to push episodes out in 6 days or less? ---

> [@MyFootsZZZ](#): > > They \*\*never \*\*said why they were a target. Yes, they never said it. But that’s clearly the inference you are supposed to make. When Kyle first joins, the Assburgers say that their goal was to remove the aliens or whatever that was making everything shitty. Later they tell Kyle that they have an important mission for him. Next we see him, he’s trying to kill all the restaurant franchise owners. Could they have been more explicit, like they usually are? Sure. But that’s one change I was actually happy with. ---

TBG: > [@](#): > > Why did the fast food cabal have a KFC rep? Wasn’t KFC previously driven out of South Park? Or did they come back at the end of Cartman’s KFC smuggling plot (I don’t recall if so)? I’m actually a little more confused by the fact that there seemed to be both a human representative of KFC, and someone in a chicken costume (who I originally thought was emblematic of KFC). ---

> [@pancakes3](#): > > or completely maddening. WHY do they have to push episodes out in 6 days or less? Because they try to deal with current events whenever possible. You haven’t been a fan of the show long, I take it (or if you have, you haven’t been paying very close attention to the subject matter). ---

It was Stan who was recruited by them and went on their mission. Kyle was in business making Assburgers with Cartman.
