South Park: O Fim da Obesidade

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The only bad thing about this special was a couple of the jokes didn't land for me, one of the jokes was a little outdated in my opinion.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.

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.

I don't have any especially strong feelings either way about the new South Park special, although I believe it's a fairly valid one. This time, the subject is the American healthcare system, insurance companies, and the maddening labyrinth that these entities will put people through.

However, it also concerns body positivity and uses Eric Cartman to represent something I've sometimes noticed within the body-love discourse. A lot of people simply want the thing that THEY are insecure about to get destigmatized so that they can then poke fun at other people's shortcomings from a position of superiority -- of not being "ugly" themselves. They want to be able to dish it out without having to take it.

Something similar happens in "gender wars" discourse: Many incels espouse that they should be worthy of love even if they are short or thin, but will gladly demonize fat women, while a woman who pushes for fat acceptance may readily use the very language she's decrying when it comes to small schlongs and "skinny b-itches". Both sides will tell you it's totally different when the other does it.

But I digress. How is the rest of the episode/special/"Paramount+ event"? Well, it has some laughs and it lets a lot of characters shine. (Randy, as per usual, gets a pretty funny B story where he gets in on the South Park moms' obsession with semaglutide drugs.)

Also, it has appreciably better cereal mascot gags (yes, cereal/sugar companies also become involved in the plot) than anything we got in Unfrosted.

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.

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.
