South Park : La Fin de l'obésité

One of the funniest and realistic South Parks of All time !!

I can't remember the last time i laughed throughout the entire show and this one deserves a thumbs up for originality and execution and Kept me engaged and drawn in from start to finish and the plot was genius !!

If your looking for one that represents all generations and can relate to the current times of weight loss influenced by medical pharma and your own struggles then this one will Knock your sox off without out a doubt if you have a soft spot for comedy !!

A+++ Highly Recommended For The Viewer Looking For a Great Laugh and Reset Above and Beyond The Current Times We Are In !!

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.

Weight loss drugs are all the rage though obtaining them can be problematic. However, some of the mothers of South Park clearly have no problem in obtaining them, as Randy Marsh discovers. Meanwhile, Cartman is desperately wanting to lose weight and a weight loss drug would be ideal for him.

Another hilarious, topical, button-pushing South Park special from Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Not the most obvious subject for a comedy show but Parker and Stone have a knack for turning seemingly-unfunny topics into something hilarious.

Some hysterically funny moments and also a great indictment of the US healthcare system.

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.

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.
