South Park to take on Caitlyn Jenner

16-09-2015 5:10pm

I love south Park! we exploit what we deem as "normal" people every day - minorities should also be subject to this as we are all "equal" otherwise everything would be censored and there would be no equality or freedom of speech....

I dont get the obsession, sure shes just a "little hobbit"

Good review here in the Telegraph-there's going to be a lot of butthurt PC fanatics out there this morning:

I don't know who caitlyn Jenner is.
Am I missing out?

Aongus Von Bismarck · 18-09-2015 10:16am

I’ve attempted to watch South Park on more than one occasion. Apart from the terrible animation and fascination with explosive bowel movements, I found the satire to much more miss than hit. Broad strokes of easy-to-digest satire in a show that really isn’t as clever, funny or insightful as it thinks it is. Rather like its fans one would opine.

The legacies of Swift, Rabelais and Molière as satirists and social commentators aren’t in any danger as a result of a show like South Park.

Well I am shocked.

4zn76tysfajdxp · 18-09-2015 2:00pm

South Park used to be class but ever since it's been increasingly focused on current affairs, it's lost its edge for me. It's all well and good for a programme to try and be satirical but if it's not funny, it doesn't have any value as a comedy for me. Unlike some of the halfwits I know who like it, I don't need a TV show to do my thinking for me on certain topics.

Tarzana2 · 18-09-2015 3:18pm

OP, wtf is the "politically correct bridage" comment about? I'm one of those dastardly people who thinks that, by and large, political correctness has been a good thing for the world. It's what stop us calling people darkies and dykes and the like. And I LOVE South Park. Not all people who are PC have had a sense of humour bypass.

Not too high at all. Satire is one of the oldest and most profound aspects of the human condition. It's best delivered with a razor-like softness of touch. Having some pale mustachioed pastiche of manliness take the world's biggest bowel movement as a way of representing resentment for rock stars like Bono, is the equivalent of using a digger to drive through a door when a simple knock would do.

The Randy Riverbeast · 18-09-2015 11:13pm

I just watched the episode. Pregnant mexican women and jared from subway got it worse in that episode. The people who complain about everything being too PC got the most mileage from it.

Please. You wish you could write satire as well as Parker and Stone. And believe it or not, there is more than one exemplary way to carry off satire. Open your mind a bit.

And re: the animation. I'm arty, I'm pretty good at it, I'm interested in it, and to me the animation has its own charm IMO. My very talented secondary school art, who really knew his art history, loved South Park. The creators' inspiration was the crude animation of Monty Python. They said "That animation was crap, and we thought "Hey, we can make crap"". There's a very deliberate impishness to it.

I think its to highlight, that we dont need to be so PC we lose our opinions (Butters says everyone is keeping their mouth shut). Or that we cant be so PC there is no satire in our lives eg this is one of the least funny south parks I have seen. I think PC Principal also highlighted just because youre PC, doesnt make you a good person, as PC Principal was a douche bag but he seen it as fine as its important to spread the PC message.

My favourite part of the episode was talking about how they were "privileged",as they were white, straight males. So therefore their opinion was less important. If you watch I am Cait. Caitlyns opinion is constantly disregarded in the show as she is "privileged". Some people have a belief just because you fit the category for "privileged", your opinion has less weight than others, which contradicts what being PC is about.

Absolute ****e episode, Randy was awesome as usual, the rest was muck.

Randy has become the best in it.
Him smoking weed and bouncing on his balls was possibly the funniest episode I've ever seen.
Cart man singing the theme at the end of this episode was funny. But again brings the main point. ........who the fcuk actually gives a **** about what the kardashian a do in life.
Headlines in a newspaper would be "Kim and Kanye have a coffee in Starbucks " an a tiny little bit in the corner
" Bruce Jenner killed people while on his phone while driving..."
So to some it up Kim and Kanye having a poxy coffee is so much more important than anyone else's lives.
Unless it was a frappachino or something then that's totally understandable

I thought it was pretty good, much better than most of the previous season. Cartman's dream about breaking the rules was a particular highlight.

I could take or leave Randy these days tbh.

Beefy78 · 19-09-2015 7:23am

Loved the Tom Brady stuff and Cartman's line about PC Principle not wanting to end up like Jared from Subway.

cournioni · 19-09-2015 7:38am

Mr Garrison will probably play a huge part in this episode I'd say...

This post is about the use of the utterly mindless phrase 'political correctness brigade' as if everyone who is in some way PC is a humourless ninny. Yes, there are professional offence-takers out there, but they're in a minority.

And don't get me started on 'Political correctness gone mad' - as someone said somewhere on boards recently, the people who use this phrase are often people who get a bit butthurt that they can't spew some horrible viewpoint anymore.

Reported for homophobia.

Didn't find it particularly great either. Any episode with mostly Randy or Butters is usually good.

"Butthurt" is a homophobic slur which also trivializes rape.

Jon Stark · 19-09-2015 3:46pm

Randy is a joke in a bad way now.

He peaked with the Bat Dad episode. Didn't get any better after that.

When with the word 'Butthurt' beome associated with homophobia?

Mr. Garrison: Gay people, well, gay people are EVIL, evil right down to their cold black hearts which pump not blood like yours or mine, but rather a thick, vomitous oil that oozes through their rotten veins and clots in their pea-sized brains which becomes the cause of their Nazi-esque patterns of violent behavior. Do you understand?

OP here. I didn't write that. That was taken from a facebook page which quoted the Entertainment Weekly piece. I didn't wanna put a quote within a quote (quoteception?!) so just copied it word for word. The last paragraph is all my own thoughts and writings though.
