South Park: Post Covid

It's fun seeing the boys all grown up. Yeah there aren't as many laughs as a normal show but I think it's a worthwhile tradeoff. I really enjoyed the whole Tegridy Weed plot in the past so I got a kick out of it that it made a return. It does end on a bit of a cliffhanger so I assume there will be a part 2, probably in lieu of another full season. I want to know more about Butters and is Cartman pulling off the most elaborate prank on Kyle of them all? I guess we'll all have to be patient a little longer.

Some repetitive jokes aside, this one was definitely a step up compared to what we've seen the last couple of years. Not the absolute best, but certainly a reminder of what South Park CAN be. Finally, it was about the kids (albeit in grown up form) again. Also, I feel like they're gonna wrap up the whole 'Tegridy' story (which I HATE) in a satisfying way. Enjoyable throughout.

South Park has always been great at poking holes in all of our societal flaws. This special is amazing, original and hilarious. I can't wait to find out who victor really is!

I watched South Park: Post Covid soon after the passing of Virgil Abloh. I've been watching a lot of Virgil x Kanye interviews lately, a paragraph didn't pass without Kanye mentioning the South Park episode where they threw jabs at his fashion. I realize how much social commentary South Park made and the impact on our landscape.

Post Covid is not any less. They throwing jabs at the pandemic, anti-vaxxers, conspiracy theories, cancel culture, censorship of comedy etc.

The censorship of comedy is one of the things which stands out in this movie as it tries to censor itself whilst mocking how much effect censorship has on comedy (people will say this South Park's comedy sucks - uhm duh - that's the point they are trying to highlight when it comes to censorship).

Go in with an open mind and try not comparing it with South Park of years past.

This, this right here is something truly special. It goes beyond just humor and goes to the heart of what's ailing us as a society today.

I didn't expect this show, of everything, to shine a bright ray of hope, but it did. Thanks.
