South Park

^It is?

Really? Any source for that?

Huh, it was Trey's 50th birthday last month. Matt is 48 already.

These guys are getting old.

That's what I've been hearing for some time, as the two separated earlier this year.

And Butters and Mummy definitely reads like someones venting their relationship problems.

Yeah, venting your relationship problems through your work is not the healthiest thing to do.

I think that was a reference to Creepshow or something similar.

It was more just making a joke of it. I found it funny.

Part of what irritates me about this arc are the occasional bits of self-aggrandizing. Randy's line at the end of the Halloween "Well I enjoyed it" felt like meta commentary about how Matt and Trey are having more fun writing about Tegridy Farms than some viewers are watching it. Now the latest episode ends with Randy saying "Hopefully you'll agree that it turned out better than expected."

It's bad enough when a series has an arc I don't like, watching the writers pat themselves on the back for it just makes it worse.

I found that meta humor funny.

So did I tbh.

And that's okay, too. No one is saying you can't find it funny.

Though I was hoping the Marshes would get to be free of Randy by the end.

How do you mean free?

I mean I was hoping he'd be jailed for good.

Knowing South Park, that seems very unlikely.

Also, Randy has clearly become a Creator's Pet by now, so Matt and Trey are unlikely to get rid of him.

He could end up like Garrison, essentially reworked into a narrative role that simultaneously gives him more importance and less ubiquity.

I too wondered once or twice if the point of this story is that it’s to be a big arc that finally does something about Randy one way or another.

Yeah, but what I mean is that it doesn't seem likely that they will. But you could be right.

It makes me wonder if Shelly's going to be the one to burn down the farm. She already did burn down Randy's blockbuster.

Randy burns down his farm to claim the insurance money

Yeah, I was thinking about Shelly burning down the farm as well, actually.

I actually hope that happens in the final episode of this season, along with Shelly giving a "The Reason You Suck" Speech for what has happened this entire season.

Even if this does end the Tegridy Farms arc, I'm still disappointed that Randy mostly evaded any consequences. I'm hoping that Tegridy Farms' end is violent and traumatizing.

Traumatizing to who? Not the viewer, I hope?

You just know everyone in the town is gonna get high off of the fumes of the fire.

If trey and matt actually made tregidty weed, would any of you guys buy it? I know I'd like to have a tregidty burger.

Not a chance.
