South Park : La Fin de l'obésité

In this special, South Park makes several statements about modern social trends, and they are all 100% accurate.

It draws attention to how horrible and hypocritical big pharma is, and also evilness of corporations that feed off the unhealthy lifestyle of middle, mid/low, and low class tiers. It also focuses on the plight of the average unhealthy American, and how it IS a choice for many to be overweight, but also how difficult it is to choose a healthier lifestyle. It teaches us acceptance, while farting in the face of social predator morons like Lizzo.

And the jokes are fantastic. There are blatant jokes, and sort of subtle jokes. I especially loved the random 1-sec long doo-wop singing of the classic "Golden Crisps" theme. It's a small, yet blaring piece of evidence that the brains of South Park still got it.

And let us not forget the CLASSIC and typical story arc and motivation of Cartman's character. It's on point, never-changing, and it's one of those episodes where he either gets his just desserts, or it ends with him winning and everyone else frustrated. Either way, it's a win for the audience, especially those of use who have been with the show for eons.

Only a few minor drawbacks to this special. For one, there are a few moments when it seems like they're either phoning it in, or trying too hard to be "typical South Park" (case in point, the side effect of "Lizzo" with the ears). But then again, maybe that's what makes South Park so "South Park" and they're merely sticking to the original recipe of the show.

I HOLLERED at the use of "It's my life!" in this special. No, not Bon Jovi. Remember Vennu Mallesh? Yep. THAT 'It's my life'. South Park ft. Vennu Mallesh is NOT what I had signed up for but boooooy, it was a surprise :D They have labs based out of Vishakapatnam, with signs saying 'Prayogshala' etc. (surprisingly written correctly 90% :O) in Hindi and.... Sanskrit..? XD Who comes up with the ridiculous stuff like this? LMAO.

"Rich people get get Ozempic, poor people get body positivity." The commentary on the American Medical system was hilarious and sadly still prevalent. I don't know anything about Lizzo's music and don't know if the criticism of the music was justified, but someone got a prescription to listen to Lizzo five times a day because they couldn't afford medicine and their insurance wouldn't allow claims. The Cereal Mascot acting like mob-bosses, LOL. Wut!? XD Leave it to South Park to come up with some of the most random things.

Classic South Park? No. But if you're a fan, it's enjoyable. If you know have heard of Vennu Mallesh, this is a must watch.

While latest south park episodes might not seen as good as the earlier to mid seasons, this special was really good especially compared to the recent seasons. I really liked kyle in this movie and he exactly acted like in the prime era of south park. We finally see more of kenny who was treated like a background character in the recent south park episodes. Cartman was iconic as always and butters is butters. I loved the jokes and we finally saw less of Tegridy randy. Randy reminded me much more of the prime era south park. Tegridy has been overused in the latest seasons so having a whole south park movie with only one mention of it is a relief. The moms were funny and i just hope south park continues to bring back the good ol south park. Let's hope season 27 will be as good as this special. I still love every episode but we gotta admit that season 5 to.season 13 was the prime era for south park.

I loved this one and I don't get why others didn't. But comedy is perspective I guess.

My favorite part was the opening theme. If you're a horror fan, you would recognize it as the same theme as Dawn of the Dead (which just passed its 20th anniversary). The tie between the cell mutation and mindless consumption, to a zombie like culture was perfection.

The word play was good, the realistic and unbearable hoops, and struggles with the health insurance industry, the multiple layers of roasts thrown at Lizzo, the vanity and constant need for validation by the moms. I personally enjoyed the show from beginning to end.

For the comments saying they didn't go far enough or the show isn't the same, I think that's a good thing. A show that does the same level of comedy on a constant basis will make the entirety of the show dull and predictable. Creativity is meant to change and flow in different directions. Some people just don't like change, and if you prefer the old episodes, then just put your device on loop and repeat the old episodes then. I remember when everyone who was mad about the opening theme to the series being updated.

This was a fun, and entertaining special. Totally worth the watch. Don't go in with a negative attitude and high expectations. Just relax and enjoy the show for what it is... making fun of everyone and the popular trends.

This special was quite good, I was actually kept interested throughout the episode. Some of the reoccurring jokes were funny, had a good premise for an episode, and made some absurdist humor that isn't often seen in South Park anymore. Kind of a happy medium of early season South Park and modern topics. And the episode ended on a good song as-well.

The previous specials have been alright, but had been hit or miss when it comes to certain things, such as pacing, and overall plot. In my opinion, this special did a lot better at those two things. Good plot, and good pacing.

The only bad thing about this special was a couple of the jokes didn't land for me, one of the jokes was a little outdated in my opinion. Otherwise, it's decent modern South Park.
