South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2

It's somewhat nonsensical and it relies on literal toilet humor. But it's entertaining and short enough that you don't get too bored by it. It's still a weaker South Park than seasons past and doesn't target as much of the current political climate but it does live up to the premise. Streaming services are helping create lower quality programming to fill their broadcast slots. This is a lower quality than normal for South Park but that could be simply because it's stretched out over 50 minutes instead of a tight 22.

I'm continuing to feel that none of these really require the Paramount+ runtime, and are regular episodes worth of material stretched out. But i just adjust my mindset accordingly, i'm watching a "special" episode, and it's not a problem really. Very decent, far from perfect, and not exactly great, but very decent. Randy is gonna be actually himself from this on, i'm so happy!

This is labeled as a movie, but it really is more of another special. I like the episodes better. This movie/special features a drought coming everywhere with Pi-Pi taking advantage of the situation by using pee for his water park, or I guess pee park is more accurate. We learn that Manbearpig has a family and Pi-Pi is using them to control them. I really did like the use of celebrities here. I thought that Randy would be returning to his form.

I was annoyed at how he was just going back to what he was doing earlier. At least we get a nice resolution and good pacing from the previous installment. It could have used more jokes. It was good how the celebrities were more disgusting by what was going on than the audience. That's how comedy should work. They mentioned events that happened three years ago, yet how are the characters the same age? ***

Not overly funny, just appropriately targeted satire at streaming, crypto, and celebrities, especially spot on criticism of streaming services not obtaining talent, especially considering I also watched the abomination that was Netflix Resident Evil also today, no amount of properties are gonna matter without any talent to actually make them good.

What's the point of repeating the celebrities backing up for pipi+? Being sarcastic? Once would have been enough. There's no fun in it at all and it's way too disgusting.

Tegrity Weed should've been a one- or two- episode thing, but it lasted for years and the idea of this weed thing never make any sense. Many characters had been out-of-character for a long long time, the most terrible ones were Randy and Garrison. Hope to see the whole show get to "normal" soon. I love South Park, I don't want it cancelled, or live on like the recent seasons.
