South Park Season 27 - discussion

That sounds like the start of a racist joke!

I noticed the first reference. Kristi Noem starts to melt, calls for botox, a crowd of people stand in front of her and wave their arms, and she is restored.

I saw a Noem clip on some news program shortly after I watched this episode, and they really got her look accurately. Especially the lips.

I laugh at her shooting the dog angel. So, dogs do to heaven!

Thanks!

I totally missed the earlier instances of that but played back a couple. Without those final “loo loo loos” I’d not have thought to ask and missed a relatively good gag and tribute to Bill Melendez (director of CB Christmas & many others) and a terrific animator.

I guess we’ll find out if Trumpelthinskin is stupid enough to piss off the manosphere component of his base by pressuring Paramount to cancel South Park

The ICE agents apparently were inside Penske vans and drove up to Home Depot’s where day laborers gather. Those they arrested were brought into custody in standard ICE vans that arrived just after. Penske says they were unaware Federal Agents were using their vans for this purpose and it violates their rules about passengers in the cargo area. That’s a loss of rental deposit for sure.

Watching S27 E03 that TechRadar apparently was perturbed at the end of.

The “Techridy” vans may have been a reference to ICE using Penske vans,

So Towelie has to go to DC to lobby for Marijuana to be legalized at the federal level.

Union Station, Washington Memorial (entirety) , Captiol Building swarming with tanks and troops and a bronzed trump in the Rotunda (small penis). This is getting a little scary. Lincoln memorial, with small dicked statue of Trump in the chair. i am scared.

White House, natch, tanks and troops.

Randy has to sell the farm… say what about Towelie since he’s (Randy) been frealkn’ on Ketamine?

(back at white house)

He (Towrlie) and Satan speak and Satan say they want to escape this place (White House).

Horrifying! Will never watch (this episode) again!

We need Jesus more than ever.

Salad with French fries is a great idea. Still miss the old Boulder Brewery that had that on the menu.

A word salad is a “confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases”

Okay, fair enough.

So not enough people are buying Randy’s marijuana and it would really be good if Towelie wentl lobbying to DC, which seems to be occupied by troops and tanks everywhere, including statues of Trump in the Capitol rotunda and replacing Lincoln on the Lincoln Memorial.

Randy becomes a ketamine freak and has to leave his pot farm. Next episode will be inspired by some John Steinbeck novel about grapes, perhaps.

And in the horrendous third act, we’re back at the White House. Diminutive Vance (still dressed as Tattoo) offers Trump the rag he’s been using to get off with of late, as Satan finally gets out of bed and laments in the bathroom with Towelie how there’s no way out - either Satan’s relationship or the White House.

Hilarity did not ensue. Except this episode would have made no sense at all 10 years ago.

So is this whole season going to be about the Trump administration?

They have something of a DC arc as all three episodes have scenes with Trump (not funny), Satan (not funny) and now Vance (very much not funny) and Towelie (whom I don’t like).

This is one of the few episodes that didn’t have the four kids (not sure if Stan had a line). So 3/10 episodes in (none next week). If the events of the last two weeks had no influence on this show, skip the DC arc for six episodes and do something funny with DC in the 10th.

I just watched the Labubu episode and:

  • I’m a middle school teacher and had not heard of Labubus. I’m sure I’ll notice them now, though.

  • I know it is stupid. But I still laugh at all the Trump and Fox News stuff.

“Go Wok, go broke!!!”

Never heard of them either. I assumed it was just something made up for the show. In fact, I didn’t realize they were real until one of the youtubers I watch mentioned it when he was talking about the episode. I spend a good chunk of time flipping through whatever gets posted to imgur and I don’t recall seeing anything about them there either.

I only heard about them a few weeks ago on the Podcast Sounds Like a Cult. The market is a primarily grown women; not children.

They are the latest big fad since SP covered the previous big fad for those big sippy cups who’s name escapes me at the moment.

I had no idea what a trapper keeper was until South Park did a show about them.

Pity the poor Fox editor who had to choose between this story and the one with the headline, “CBP harassment of Americans at US Airports at all time High.”

Out of curiosity, how old are you?
I was born in 1980, from the late 80s to the early 90s, so when I was 10 +/- a few years, they were everywhere. If you were school aged, you were either surrounded by them, or surrounded by people complaining about the school not allowing them.

Are you from the United States?

I was born in 1978 and Trapper Keepers were a huge part of middle and high school.

I still think they are kind of cool.
