South Park (ne convient pas aux enfants)

I think South Park really touched on an important topics of mass social media propaganda. While the episode mostly focuses on children being influenced, while in reality anyone who consumes social media content irregardless of age is being maliciously targeted.

The days of a few major TV companies dominating the narrative for our cultural programing is now long gone, and what we deal with now is a more diffuse and more sinister form of propaganda. Where the audience is now targeted by multiple outlets of information believing that we have an option and a choice to make while in reality social media is still dominated by the same people who controlled the cultural narrative before.

This episode is a cautionary tale not just for parents who want to maintain control over their children but to all of us.

I liked the way they've built this special, it is much more grounded than the last special, and I think a bit weaker.

Or maybe it is so because of the subject involved: I'm not sure how serious is this in the USA, but I have to tell you that in Europe it's a big deal nowdays - children being "influenced" on social media platforms (mostly YT or Twitch), by grown-ups "influencers" sponsored by the betting companies, energy drinks, pawn-shops etc. Not to mention that video chatting industry, and of course OF are just the norm here.

Randy was just hilarious and stole the show, but I think the CRED subject was a bit too much for me, maybe they've should have added another funny subplot.

But overall I am happy that at least we got another special episode this year!

Thanks guys!

Because you may be the center of the joke here. Do you follow "influencers?" Do you hang on every word of a YouTuber or OnlyFans content creator? Do you rely on the latest modern trend, or the opinion of the hottest internet influencer to make decisions in your life?

If your answer if "yes" to any of the above, then you need help. Thankfully, South Park is here to the rescue! If you're a young Millennial or a Gen-Z, or one of the freaks of nature even younger than that, then you're in luck, because with this latest covert episode of South Park, you may be able to break free of your chains of social and digital conformity if you only listen to reason and not your stupid "in-the-loop" high school buddy!

This episode hits the nail on the head. Kids these days are more susceptible to modern trends than any generation before. It might be because they're more stupid, or simply more influenceable because the internet is so sneaky and misleading these days.

Regardless, this episode does what South Park does best: expose the hypocrisies of modern trends, and crosses the line as far as possible while doing so.

If you're a victim of social and digital manipulation, there is hope for you yet. Wake up, wise up, stay in school, stop buying into the latest trends, and BE YOURSELF!!! Oh, and fight bullying!!!

I have to admit that this wasn't nearly as good as the last special. Trey Parker and Matt Stone said they're specials, not movies! Anyway, this episode featured all the kids in "South Park" being addicted to this energy drink Cred. Clyde hides the fact that he doesn't have any. Meanwhile, Randy tries to make extra money by making porn on an OnlyFans profile. I hadn't even heard of OnlyFans before!

I didn't know about Prime Beverages either. The best scene was probably when the kids got to Pueblo and children were killed. Yeah, that's morbid, but it's to be expected from this show. While slow moving, I was still eager to see what would happen next. The miners joke was nicely done too. This is why I just avoid social pornographic websites. ***

Hindan nimetatud episoodi väga heaks. Aastaid on SP naerutanud mind enda geniaalse lähenemisega huumorile, osutades igapäeva elu valupunktidele, jutustades meile lugusid maast ja merest. Selle eri osaga on Trey ja Matt suutnud tabada kas naelapead või teinud kerge riive sellele, et näidata vaatajatele milleks nad oskuslikud on ning loodan, et nad jätkavad seda teed.

Ma tahaks uskuda, et SP loojad ise endale ka aegajalt meelde tuletavad, et kui uskumatu see on et ühiskonnale selline satiir peale on läinud, ja seda mitte ainult US-s, vaid üle maailma. Hea meel näha kui visioonist saab midagi enamat kui suletud elutöö.

I rate said episode very well. For years, SP has made me laugh with his genius approach to humor, pointing out the pain points of everyday life, telling us stories about land and seas. With this particular episode, Trey and Matt have either hit the nail on the head or made a slight dent in showing viewers what they're capable of, and I hope they continue to do so.

I would like to believe that the creators of SP remind themselves from time to time how incredible it is that society has been affected by the such of satire, not only in the US, but all over the world. Glad to see a vision become something more than a closed life's work.
