See now, this episode is the sort of thing where I might agree with them in theory, but they go about saying it in a completely assholish way.

Not really. it's barely exagerated. barely.

You and I most have different definitions of the word "barely" then.

The shit I see on tumblr, yeah this is barely exaggerated. the only thing I see that is exaggerated is them beating people up because sjw's would never try to resort to violence because that means they have to leave their parent's house and go outside. making the sjw's pc bros and a bunch of literal white knights is hilarious if inaccurate though.

I thought it was funny, although I'm a little sad that Principle Victoria's been kicked out of the School. I like that Cartman actually didn't get away with his shenanigans this time, but I think PC Principle went too far with the way he dealt with Cartman. I wonder how a PC Cartman could work? His character was really supposed to be this dumb, manipulative, racist, fat kid, so taking away the racist part might hurt him comedy-wise.

You guys think this will be another season with an arching story line like last season?

The whole making the SJ Ws a bunch of bros is outside the box thinking there. I expected something along the lines of the usual stereotypes like hipsters or Tumblrinas, but bros that is a new one.

Bros are normally the opposite to what SJ Ws stand for, and I find that hilarious.

[up][up] And yeah, it seems like this season is going to be one huge story arc like the last. I mean, the old principal of the school is gone and they have this new one; I think the plot line here is far from over.

making them bro's fit though. it is a clique that acts all smug just for being them and lords it over others. frat bros are just usually on the other side of things.

...oh sweet strawberry Jesus this episode sucked. The PC-bros were anti-comedy, NO not anti-humor, that's ends up being funny in an ironic way, they were just a hammered in joke that made me wish the episode was over.

This Episode was fucking hilarious. I was waiting for the day when they were going to start bashing PC culture and neo-Progressives.

This episode made me laugh heaps and the making SJWs bros was not what I expected but it worked well. Even before this episode Kyle was a bit of a bigot though, so it's hardly surprising to me that he was the one the PC Bros went after after Cartman.

I'm curious as to how this will continue, whether it's continuity based or what. But I don't doubt that Principal Victoria will return once the status quo resets just enough for PC Principal to get fired.

Maybe Victoria will return in some other capacity.

After watching the episode(thanks to recording it) it was alright. But its the first one for the season, so i'm giving it time before it warms up. Principle P.C is already becoming The Scrappy for this since he's a complete asshole and he almost killed Cartman. What are the odds that there will be an episode where the boys try to get principle victoria back as the school principle?

[up] More likely, she'll come back on her own to take her Principle job back.

Also, I don't think we can call Principle PC The Scrappy just yet. Sure he's one note right now, but who knows what they can do with a Frat-Bro who's also insanely Politically Correct? There's (hopefully) a lot they can do with the character before he's gone.

[up]According to Mackey, Victoria got involved with something really bad. I'm not the only one who thinks the guy(principle pc) is a scrappy, but if you guys go on facebook on the south park official group, there are people who are already wanting this guy dead.

And Randy's gone back to his old drinking habits again. Typical.

Avclub has my opinions exactly, the PC-bros were just SO repetitive, and they've done they've made fun of this topic all ready a million times before. Also if this IS a continuity season I really hope they do something actually funny with PC-Principal, cos he suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked in this one.

I will say that PC Principle beating the shit out of Cartman was hilarious.

[up][up]The Scrappy is one of those tropes that gets thrown around so much it (along with Mary Sue and other negative tropes) they've basically become meaningless.

[up]If he's a season-stay, let's wait to see what he does before attaching labels to him. I won't rule out the Scrappy though.

Yeah, like, The Scrappy is constantly shoehorned in as some attempted-likable character and fails miserably. This guy's meant to be a critique of political correctness and its rampancy in colleges. He's not sticking around for long and he's not mean to be someone we like.

Then if the scrappy wont' be a suitable trouble to describe principle PC, then what trope can be used to describe how unlikable he is?

[up]It would be very suitable if principle victoria makes her return and kills him.

While I loved this episode (the whole Deflategate sideplot was brilliant on every level imaginable), I'm a bit concerned as to how it'll stretch out into a full season plotline.

The PC Frat Boys were a funny idea that really thought outside of the box of overtly PC stereotypes and going about it in such an over the top way, but I do think that if they keep as is the whole PC Bros joke is going to get old fast, because there are only so many jokes you can make about that idea.

I also subtly suspect that they won't entirely lean on the idea that PC is inherently bad in South Park's usual "piss on both sides" way, though it's pretty clear what side of the conversation the show's on as a whole.

So in all, great episode, slightly curious/concerned as to how the rest of the season'll go down.

[up]He always had that problem it never went away. It just pretended it was not a problem.

Also it's not Principle PC, it's PC Principle.

My only critique with the episode is that it was too predictable that Randy would get indoctrinated into the PC Frat.
