I always loved Wendy and Kyle, but over the seasons PC and Strong Woman turned into my favorite characters. They are really dorky and surprisingly seem like one of the sanest characters. I liked their small story arc.

I don’t really have a fave season, though I do have a soft spot for the first ones since I watched them as a kid. Picking a favorite episode is hard too but I do especially love the scott tenorman must die one kek.
I recently replayed the games too, have to say I prefer the stick of truth, but I honestly think it’s just for the fact that I prefer fantasy over the super hero stuff!

>>203118that episode is so good! although the game tie-in was a bit weak compared to the E3 trailers, but the content of the episode is one of the best (funny how Butters has lost some of his innocence, specially when Chaos is used as an antagonist).
also, the fight at the end is fucking delightful and absolutely not expected. kinda happened the same in Cartoon Wars II, but this one was absolutely anticlimatic lol.

allsp.ch. i hate using shady piracy sites filled with porn ads and can't currently torrent due to my living situation, so shoutout to the rando on reddit who mentioned that.
irrelevant but i love how some of the episodes are actually recordings of the initial broadcasts from over a decade ago, adds a bit of charm. imo SP is best enjoyed when not in HD, feels more right i guess

I haven't watched the show for a few years now (thinking of picking it up again though) but was wondering if any other old fandom nonas ITT remember an infamous fanfic called The Rectum is a Tomb? iirc it was written by a fakeboi and was a bit of a running joke years back for being the South Park British AIDs fanfic.

About towellie there's just something about his voice in Spanish that makes him funnier. There's a special charm to watching the first seasons in Spanish cause the characters didn't have a concrete personality so they all would use the raunchiest insults ever.

It was not what I expected. Kek. The Karen joke got old fast. Knew right away the kids were talking about Randy. Liane actually standing up for herself. Not holding my breath, I feel like she will give into Cartman. And holy shit Cartman. He got the boob job instead. The line "they do this to kids in 2022" made me think about the yeet the teets hack surgeon. PiPi being the real villain, did not see that. How did he get manbearpig to go along with it? Also kek at manbearpig looking like a mobster. So thoughts and predictions? I spoilered my thoughts because I figured I'd give all nonitas a few days to watch the special without spoilers. I will watch again because I ended up watching it late at night.

Cannot name favorite episodes either, but some I remember laughing about like a fucking idiot are the Ziplining episode (growing up around old people just made me relate to too many idiotic things in that story) or Cartman's attempt of getting himself frozen up to skip the waiting time till the release day of the new console. It's just these things I can relate a lot to that make me laugh the most.
For recent stuff I must admit that I genuinely loved the Covid movies. Especially when they were grown ups.

>what do you see happening with the show in the future?No idea, south park's a show that I can never really guess what direction the new season is heading in.

Dusting this thread off since season 26 just started off with episode Cupid Ye.
I hate that Matt and Trey are still calling Token Tolkien. I think it would have been funnier to just go back to using Token and not acknowledge it. Cartman continues living in the hotdog restaurant. Randy was back to wearing his usual outfit and not the tegrity weed farmer outfit at least for this episode. Overall I wasn't too impress with this episode. It bummed me out the other characters could actually see cupid me instead of Cartman doing all the hijinks while the other characters look scared/confused. Also Stan being sad Kyle isn't doing stuff with him wasn't that strong and could have easily been written out.
Thoughts on this episode?

can't believe this thread still exists! sorry nonas, i'm OP, it's just that it seems i forgot all about it orz
new seasons sure have been slowburners, season 25 was pretty bland, with the exception of the airsoft and St. Patrick eps. The special was pretty solid, although the whole karen/manbearpig subplot was ultimate filler.
the concert was really, really good! matt killed it, he seemed so happy playing with Rush.
nonas, sorry for disappearing ilu all

>>274996yes, yes and yes. I own all of them (BDs) and only the home media has fully uncensored episodes, with the exception of seasons 1-4 (original audio track is lost) and episodes 200 and 201 (they are 90% uncensored, but Trey's comment is a beep of around 10mins long).
I also have Paramount+ and some of the episodes are PG13, so they have been edited to fit on that rating. so of you want to see them somewhat untouched, go for the boxsets.

No. 281567
>>281518Same. I enjoy it but it's rather weak so far. I haven't watched the newest episode yet, will do now!
The first episode had an IMO good or fine first half, but became a bit too crazy later, and the end felt very abrupt to me.
Second episode was the worst for me, because I don't know anything about gossip and those royal fucks and neither do I care, so I zoned out all the time while trying to watch it. Hard to say how it was, qualitywise.
Third episode started with IMO great potential but is the perfect example of what I usually don't like with SP: I loved the premise of Stan's family getting an expensive as hell luxury product and the feelings of inequality it causes which led to problems for Stan.
This is exactly what I want from SP. Social conflicts caused by things the kids weren't directly responsible for or not actions that weren't meant to end that way. It's such a relatable feeling IMO and I also love the conflict and misunderstandings between parents and kids. In this case it's Randy being happy and feeling like bragging about the toilet without realising what issues this might cause for his kid who has to deal with the reactions in school.
I would have loved to see this conflict progress and eventually get solved. Instead, the school part was just an intro for yet another global conspiracy story and the ending was absolutely lame. It felt like it was building up to something at least when Randy was in his coma. But then he jumps up and stops Stan's speech and the episodes basically ends with a "nevermind, opposing the mighty is bad, back to business as usual". And this annoyed me a bit.
Just make more down-to-earth stories again, they are a much better fit for episodical series.
I bitch a lot but it's not that I hate it! I actually bitch because I think it could be so much better.
No. 281595
>>281567pretty much agree with your summary. it feels like sometimes they run out of time to finish what they started, and a lot of that time is wasted on scene-setting fluff.
the second one was awful but i did find it amusing that they made the royal family canadian - just as a concept but they didn't use it to its potential.
i definitely wish they would just make more silly storylines that aren't constant references to political themes every time. let me know what you think of the latest episode though because i genuinely enjoyed this one!
No. 281601
>>281595Update. I watched the latest episode now and I absolutely agree with you. The best one so far.
This is exactly what I want from SP. A current but not too short-lived trend/issue being properly implemented into inter-personal conflicts. The chat AI is an IMO great opportunity to comment on social interaction or the lack of ability to act the way others expect from you. No conspiracies and politics needed, not even the rest of South Park. Only the clique of boys and Garrison.
It was pretty funny (especially the toilet parts) and relatable at the same time. Classic South Park IMO. I also liked that the two plots meshed well or were rather two sides of the same issue. I feel like the plot a/plot b format is hard to write. Usually at least one of them is getting cut short due to time restrictions and only stole valuable time in hindsight. This is no issue if there was only one plot to begin with, maybe with a bit of sidetracking. It was also nice to see the good old Garrison again. It reminds me of why I loved that guy in the older seasons.
The only open question here is what Garrison will do with his partner now. And how Stan will respond to Wendy's messages from now on.
Technically you can say that Wendy is half in love with the AI now, since that's who has written the messages she needed so much. This is both hilarious and sad at the same time, even though I also understand Stan here and I am pretty bad with such dialogues as well.

>>281601yep definitely felt like it was more classic South Park. my favourite bit was the "technician" sent from the school board being some kind of shaman with a trained hawk and spiritual rituals. an amusing nod to how anyone who claims to be a guru offering these extremely niche services are usually fraudster wackos.
>nice to see the good old Garrison againyes! i loved him listening to sexy german music whilst the students read out their assignments (picrel) kek
>I also understand Stan here and I am pretty bad with such dialogues as wellsame and I actually do the
thumbs-up-reply thing all the time, because I never know what to say to people. now it's made me a bit paranoid that people think i'm being rude (even though that's what i was trying to avoid).
i actually think it would be cool if they developed the AI storyline with Wendy. maybe she could leave Stan for a chatbot or something.

>>281603>i actually think it would be cool if they developed the AI storyline with Wendy. maybe she could leave Stan for a chatbot or something.Yeah I felt like it should have been a two-parter. Garrison's issue is basically a cliffhanger (unless he only goes home to call his lover out on this and go to bed) and Stan still has the huge fucking problem that he only barely managed to avoid for now since they were in that bar.
It could of course be that he spent the next night scrolling up the logs to read all "he" has written as well as the things Wendy revealed to him to avoid further fuck-ups and maybe he is lucky that she won't dig too deep or stumble upon contradictions, but still.
Her leaving him for an AI is actually an ending I could see happening if this was a two-parter. I feel like Matt and Trey are more used writing longer stories now. I wouldn't complain about casual two-episodes arcs. Fans liked older trilogies or two-parters like Cartoon Wars or Go God Go, it was the serialised plots that took an entire season to end that the majority wasn't happy with.

Matt and Trey are vocal about how all three pre-Stick of Truth games suck extremely, and I can't speak to the other games but I think that opinion is pretty unwarranted for South Park Rally. Maybe it's nostalgia glasses but I have the sneaking suspicion they didn't bother to play it beyond the first two or three races because they're all actually pretty varied and interesting, and I didn't beat the entire thing until recently almost two decades after first watching my sister play it on PS1. The Valentine's Day race early on where you have to shoot the NPCs always killed my playthroughs when they barely even started, and my sister found the Easter race to be a serious challenge which I myself couldn't beat until I got fed up and checked a walkthrough for tips at my age of 22. This game isn't given enough credit for shaking up the racing kart game dynamic since it incorporates direct player-to-player interaction, like ramming into someone for a weapon or item. I guess one thing that nerfs the game the most is that higher ups apparently ordered the devs to turn down the max speed by a lot so it just feels really slow when it was designed for speed, like the in-game maps having a lot of ramps and rails the characters can grind on which kind of end up being a moot point when the speed required just isn't there anymore, but remnants of the mechanic are still in the physics since some character's carts 360 or 720 flip better than others. I just really love this game and think it's severely underrated (and funny from the voice lines while still being roughly age appropriate too, not that kids know the PG rated references anyway because I certainly didn't at the time), and it could seriously benefit from a remake with the improvements to make it more forgivable in M&T's eyes too.
