I loved the episode. Unlike others who thought they drove the joke into the ground, I found myself wishing that it was a two-parter. I think the PC Principle is a great antagonist for the show, and the ultimate outcome felt unsatisfying. I hope he remains as part of the season's overarching story. At least I hope they continue that. I enjoyed it last season, and frankly I think it helps make up for the show's writing getting weaker as it gets older.

They never did much with Principle Victoria when you think about it. She's a breast cancer survivor...and that's about all we know about her.

I've always found it odd that the Mayor has never gotten a focus episode, despite being in the show since the beginning.

She also killed someone and cut up the body and hid it in a bunch of different places (Revealed in Season 3) and is one of the few adults prominent in Cartman's life to stand upto him and not let him boss her around.

And I love the idea of the new episode, it's perfect for Mr. Garrison since he's been racist since Season 1 and asks every Christmas if they can get rid of the Mexicans. Which is one of my favourite Mr. Garrison jokes.

I don't remember that at all, but I haven't rewatched the earlier episodes as much as I have the later ones.

Principal Victoria says it in Sexual Harassment Panda in court when Gerald's pressuring her to answer if Cartman was called an assucker, it's brushed off though.

Cartman is a bully. PC is just a form of moral bullying and a means of attaining authority. The two are a perfect fit and Matt and Trey know this.

Actually, yeah, pretty much. Hatespeech and PCspeech are equally bad things.

Jenaiqueserasera, I don't recommend engaging. My 'bad faith sense' is tingling.

[up]Because I asked a question? I fail to see how asking people to explain their positions constitutes "bad faith".

It's fine, I think.

Because they're both types of bullying speech. Hatespeech degrades you for who you are, P Cspeech degrades you for what you say. Those "PC bros" do exist in real life, very much in fact. Go to a college campus and say you dislike Bruce Jenner, and you'll get dogpiled.

[up]I thought we were speaking in general here about why political correct speech, annoying as it often is, exists at all.

I guess that was a mistake on my part then. Though as for PC Principal, I still think he's a miss, but for different reasons than you all do probably.

Wow, I'm really proud of what Garrison's done in this episode. I didn't think I'd ever say this about a man who rapes the Canadian president...

Really good to see at least one character standing up to that asshole principle. Honestly, that guy's so unpleasant we should get a YMMV for characters who are just unnerving to watch.

Even better then the last episode and had me laughing my head off. I did not expect the immigrants to be Canadian and it was hilarious from there, I especially loved how everyone is sick of Kyle's preaching, Garrison's plot to stop the Canadian President and all of the continuity. Plus South Park Canada is always hilarious to see and if there's more South Park Canada this season it'll be one of the best seasons ever.

The way SP!Canadians talk is hilarious. Especially when you think back on this exchange:

So, The Canadians, realizing they elected a "Joke" politician (IE, Canadian Donald Trump), decided the only course of action was to leave Canada for a certain period of time and wait for him to leave? So the Canadians here aren't making fun of Illegal Hispanic Immigrants, but the Illegal Arab/Berber immigrants of Europe instead. I guess that means Mr. Garrison is more like the Hungarian PM instead of Donald Trump.

Pretty solid episode, all around. I feel bad for Butters.

Saw the episode.

Actually laughed more than the last one.

Man, South Park's take on Caitlyn Jenner looks unnerving, doesn't she/he/it?

So hang on, was this supposed to be a satire on what's happening with Donald Trump lately?

I think they wanted us to think so, but it turned into more of a satire on the immigration flood in Europe.
