South Park

Maybe there will be use for them next season, like a subplot for them infecting the voters who still think America is going to Hell with Garritrump.

The election threw off everything.

Life imitates art.

Considering that Trolltrace was on for a while, I bet the aftermath of it will play a small role, like a throwaway line or something.

Also, the Member Berries better come back. Maybe President Garrison (Who knows how dangerous they are) could do something?

If only South Park wasn't banned from the label. Lennart would be a good candidate for Complete Monster.

The thing I dislike the most is the amount of talent wasted on ultimately useless things.

The various trolls all have quite unique designs and their rooms that we can see for a split second are full of interesting details and easter eggs, but they, outside of the whole "trolling the entire Denmark" stuff (that happens entirely offscreen), do nothing and pass the time humiliated and closed in a room. Cartman's Mars visions are quite elaborate, but in the end add nothing to the "men vs women" subplot. Elon Musk's cameo is terribly boring and unfunny. The sequences of the Memberberries in the club/speakeasy have very good visuals but their subplot gets cut so they go nowhere. Basically they could have spent more time fixing and improving the script instead of showing off how good they've become with the computer graphics.

Okay after this rant I will stop posting, because I'm becoming repetitive and annoying, but I really, really disliked this season.

I think TreySt'Mapark should have just simplified the scripts or made the season longer... Honestly I would have opted for making the season longer, because so far I've liked all of them.

Here's the thing though; I feel like this season was legitimately less funny. Seasons like 17 and 18? Those were hilarious! S20 just didn't have quite as many bullseyed jokes.

My engagement with Season 20 was mostly from the gravity and intrigue of the story, which kinda carried it for me. If this season had no continuity progression in some alternate reality, but was just as funny (or lacking in it) as it is in this timeline, I would dislike this season. It's the continuous arcs that prevented me from thinking this season was really boring...

They ether need to make longer seasons or go back to single episodes.

Personally, for me, I found Seasons 17 and 18 lackluster; I didn't even like the majority of Season 18 Episodes (although I really do like "Freemium isn't Free"). I found Season 19 to be one of the best Seasons of the Show to date. It felt smart, funny, and poignant with it's satire and political commentary.

Season 20? I like it over all, but I do think they sort of bit off more then they could chew. I enjoyed the main plot a lot, and most of the jokes still work. It does feel obvious that the minute Trump/Garrison won, they ran into problems, especially with the Space EX and Misogynist Butters sub plots. The Member Berries are also confusing as hell, and I didn't like that Cartman lost all of his 'character growth' in the last 2 Episodes of the show. Overall, I think it's a good season, but it's certainly not as good as 19 was.

That would require them to rework their contract with Comedy Central again, and it would also hamper them with their non-Cartoon work (which was the reason why they shrank their Seasons in the first place).

I'm watching Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and it just hit me. In the game The Stick Of Truth, Cartman has an Ability called "Curse", which is Cartman basically saying a string of varying curses and firing a thunderbolt, similar to what he did near the climax of the movie when he discovered he could break the VChip. Does that mean that the VChip was never removed from Cartman at the end of the movie?

I guess that's what they want you to think.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone think it's too hard to satirize Trump, so don't expect a lot of Mr. Garrison-as-Trump Episodes in Season 21.

Seems to me like they're just chickening out. And what else is there to make fun of these days? There's nothing left in the USA, if not the world, that Trump isn't ruining either directly or indirectly.

Yeah. It's a shame though. Trey comes from a part of the country that probably voted Trump, so he's perfect to make fun of those impulses. Like with the "To many minorities at my water park song", just replace water park with "country", and you have the mentality of many a Trump supporter.

Last season was a little underwhelming.

Or I dunno, i felt with so many weird things happening in 2016, that we'd have a rich season filled with various jokes (Celebrity deaths? Harambe? Pokemon Go?), but I just couldn't get into the troll stuff. I guess what most are saying that the election threw them off is true.

Still hoping they get back to the "one story 1 episode" deal. I think going serial hasn't worked for them.

Or do what they did for Season 18 and 19 and have a three part movie at the end of the season.

I kind of get why their not doing Trump next season. Literally every show on television is going after the man. Colbert, SNL, John Oliver. At a certain point he just takes the oxygen out of everything. I don't think the two of them have anything to say on the topic nobody else has already said, he's orange, various errors like coffeefee, etc. That said the two seemed very fatalistic, their convinced their going to be run off the mob by a mob of PC people. Then again, given the reaction to them not going after Trump, I can't say I fully blame them.

Covfefe! I must swim!

Even if they're not going after the small-handed Orange Foolius, I really hope there's some manner of resolution with those blasted berries and Gerald's shit next season.

I want to see the former eradicated, and the latter outed for what he's done and possibly savagely beaten up. Why just let him get away with all that? The more I think on it the more it annoys me.

they didn't resolve the plots from last season.

Not to mention, there's the question of who's going to be the kids' teacher now that Mr. Garrison is President.

member Ms Choksondik? I 'member

Can't they hire Munchma Quchi?

Isn't that Asian woman their new teacher?

Three words: Race based difficulty

Genius, isn't it?

Well the last game made Jew a character class as a mockery to Race Based Quirks in RPG (Elder Scroll). Might as well pull out this joke.

For the record, its a good thing my inherent weeabooness prevents me from making created characters based on my actual race.
