South Park: The End of Obesity

To be honest, I didn't know anything about semaglutide before watching this episode. After checking about it, I found that they showed everything kinda right and in a fun way. I like when they make the show Cartman-centric, showcasing all his bad sides. The good part is that this special has all five lead kids and Randy doing his crazy stuff like always.

I haven't heard any songs by Lizzo and don't know much about the cartoons of the sugary brands, but this episode was still fun for me.

Overall, it's a good, fun episode for South Park fans but probably not for Lizzo fans and Pakistani people.

I'm waiting for the 27th season of South Park. It's been more than a year-please just release it ASAP.

Six months after ripping into the Prime sports drink craze, South Park's back with another special, this time aiming at Ozempic weight loss drugs.

In true South Park fashion, Matt and Trey take a topical idea and ramp it up to absurd levels, culminating in a "Mad Max"-style road battle.

Firstly, let's get the one negative out of the way: the jokes at Lizzo's expense seem a little too cruel. While Lizzo's star has dimmed due to recent allegations over her behaviour, the shots at her 'body positivity' image and her music feels a bit lazy. Or, if you want to give Matt and Trey the benefit of the doubt, maybe their criticism is directed at all the keyboard warriors who love ripping into her on social media? Either way, it feels like Lizzo is an easy target.

The best thing about this special is Cartman's portrayal. We're so used to seeing the evil Cartman who cynically manipulates everyone to get his way. In this special he's genuinely vulnerable and almost resigned to a life of being teased about his weight. Even the rest of the boys - who usually love ripping on Cartman - do their best to help him, including navigating the almost impenetrable American healthcare system (with a nice little song from Butters) and Big Sugar (in the form of famous cereal mascots). And we get a nice happy ending with a genuinely satisfied Cartman.

It's also nice to see Randy in a different light. As one of the most popular characters, Randy can be massively overexposed (the Tegridy Farms stuff got old quickly), but here he actually grows: he starts out with selfish motives, and gets caught up in the Ozempic craze, but learns that he doesn't need that life. It's also nice to see him and Sharon actually being affectionate to each other.

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.

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.

Didnt talk about side effects of Ozympic or weight loss drugs in general, had lots of spots where i was asking myself where is the funny? Parts of this are brilliant like the american healthcare system skits the insurance company and the toned milf tummies and randys reaction, some parts didnt land or they could have been a bit more edgy it really feels like matt stone trey parker took the bark and bite out of SP since the 2010s and especially since the first movie in 1999, i wish i could say this was a return to form but its another hour long special of safe satire weve come to expect, its not great but its not terrible either.
