South Park | Season 22 |OT| The Boys Are Back in Town
- Thread starter Dangerblade
- Start date
Just rewatched last week's episode and noticed something funny. When the boys find out it was Butters selling Vape pens, Cartman was the only one who wasn't surprised and was actually looking at the others reactions. Though that was a nice little foreshadow
Last weeks episode was definitely the best this season, if the rest of the episodes are that good I'll be happy.
Next week the episode airs on Halloween so a good chance we get one.
I understand what you're saying. PC Principal's season, and Mr Garrison (Trump)'s season both got tiring. I miss Spooky Fish, Mecha-Streisand, Good Times with Weapons, Stupid Spoiled Whore.......... etc. We did get some Mr Hanky this season, but not for Xmas, which was weird.
Sometimes politics for entire seasons is tiring. I know that's what SP has been for like a decade, though.
I would be so down for a ridiculous Halloween episode, I hope they just create an original story for next week without being political.
He broke the Harvey Weinstein story. The joke is that there's an investigative reporter in the area
There's a good chance we'd get one. Both Parker/Stone have kids approaching kindergarten age, so I think they're getting a refreshing on childhood stuff to draw from. Like ChuckECheese recently. I had to go to one of those, they have the 2000s artwork, and that mouse looks stoned all the time.
Binged the whole season so far this week. This season has been an incredible return to form for this show. Every episode has readily entertained and hasn't been bogged down by choosing to be pretty much self contained again. The last 2 season were a downward slope of disappointment. Can't wait for tonight :(

Ditto, Randy became my favorite character after watching "The Losing Edge" (s09e05), one of my favorite episodes.
holy shit, an episode where kids do kids things and have wacky adventures and Kenny is even the focus!? WHAT IS HAPPENING?
I think that was my favorite episode of the season so far. Heavy kid focus but the trick or treat aspect allowed them to incorporate other characters for some great gags/scenes without drawing focus away from the boys. Good laughs, straightforward story and good pacing.
And it was nice to see Kenny in a prominent role and I love how aware Matt & Trey are about their show hence their acknowledgment of Kennys lack of appearances.

I really loved this episode, mostly because it was just the kids being kids thrust into a situation and making the best of it. I really miss the shenanigans.
Also my cat slept on my lap the entire time like a cute lil fuckface <3

SP's setups and satire keep trailing off. With Tegridy I thought they were doing a riff on the hypocrisy of being pro-pot but anti-vape, but they never went past "vaping is gay! real men smoke weed". This week I thought it might throw some shade at the end about how massive Mackey's car was compared to the scooters that transport the same number of people so much more efficiently. But nope, it was just "scooting is gay! real men drive cars".
The jokes don't seem to change or develop from the very first instance they use them. Old men yelling at clouds.

This isn't surprising when over a decade ago they did an episode where it was "hybrids are gay! real men drive gas cars".
Think Cartman was a Fortnite character. Mr.Scotch was Megan Kelly. Everyone else not sure.
Not sure about Kenny but I read that Stan and Kyle were both Fortnite characters too
No the main point was to drive a hybrid without being a smug asshole about it and it ends with the town literally going "...we're not ready yet"
Great episode. Definitely a throwback. The narrator thing was odd though. Kind of adds to feeling of finality to this season
Hahaha I am cracking up at Mackey's whole Grinch routine here, they copied the shots from the Grinch and everything lol
Teaser for the next episode:
Anyway I felt this episode was pretty good overall still. I almost thought Kenny was about to die at the radio tower but the way the ending is now is a lot better too.
I mean they were flooded with comments on their facebook page about how Kenny doesn't even do anything anymore so... I dislike when fans feel entitled about something and annoy creators until they finally indulge and give them what they want because it always feels forced. It's even more stupid when fans critize certain things in a movie and then the sequel comes out and there is a brief scene where they explain something people complained a lot about but in the most "omg we wrote this just so you shut your mouth" way possible. Taking suggestions from fans is terrible and destroys fiction. Fans can critize, but writers should always come up with their own ideas and solutions to improve and not pick up parts from fan theory/fiction...

I agree with you, but I don't think Matt & Trey abide by fan demands or even truly care about what they want. People have wanted more Kenny since Season 19 and barely got it until this episode, in Season 22.
I just enjoy when they get meta. It shows awareness but they rarely ever sacrifice their ideas/stories in order to satisfy fans and their wordw fan fiction lol.
