Least favorite South Park ep?

Least favorite South Park ep?

Never really understood this one it was really preachy and boring.
Not really sure why they needed to paint the 660 billion dollar a year tobacco industry as an underdog and I'm really not sure what their beef with Rob Reiner is since he seems like a pretty nice dude from what I can tell I guess they just hate him because he's fat? And eating is even worse than lung cancer?

They kind of over sympathized the argument and then painted the opposing view as a caricature as usual basically.

I guess they just wanted to be pointlessly contrarian like a 4channer which is cute I suppose.

Banning smoking from bars is retarded. You can't say muh children because it's a fucking bar

That wasn't the point. It was that people who give smokers shit sometimes have their own unhealthy vices

So?

There is a direct correlation between the faggotisation of the west and the anti tobacco lobbying.

So they should worry about their own lives instead of trying to tell others what to do.

I really dislike Christmas/T&P episodes

The zip lining one, where literally half way through for no reason whatsoever it swaps to actual people on a boat for the rest of the episode

Those laws were passed on the basis that it harms the employees, not children. What so oppressive about stepping outside to smoke?

Because smoking affects people around you. If some fat fuck wants to eat 5000 calories for dinner it doesn't violate your space.

>Because smoking affects people around you. If some fat fuck wants to eat 5000 calories for dinner it doesn't violate your space.

Pretty much exactly this.

Yup, as faggotry goes down does smoking

But smoking affects their life.

>correlation is causation

Kill yourself

As a smoker, I appreciate that episode.

t.non smoking liberals

Cock smoking faggot detected

A cigarette is a pacifier for the smoker. And every time you try to take the pacifier away, they cry like the babys they still are.

it violates my eyes

t.le "smoking made me the coolest guy in 6th grade" guy

anti-smoking people are obnoxious though

So have bars specifically for non-smoking
why does it need to be a universal law to ban smoking in bars?

yeah, but it used to be a part of the masculinisation of women

probably women smoking to prove how "liberated" they were was a thousand times more obnoxious than today's anti-smoking campaign

...

But that's wrong. Obese people put just as much of a strain on the healthcare system as smokers and raises the cost for everybody else.

How's middle school bud?

>something got subverted to jewish propaganda
>implying it makes it somewhat something that was always bad

my brain, I feel the needles

Both smokers and fat people are actually better for that since they die earlier.

Matt and Trey lean towards libertarianism. They just don't like people trying to tell others what to do, and used the hypocrisy of telling others not to do something they enjoy because it's "unhealthy" when there are plenty of other unhealthy habits that are done. That's the only point.

Jakovasaurs is a really bad episode, not funny or insightful at all. I think they we're making the movie around the same time so its understandable that they just hacked this one together at the last minute.

I don't know, you must be 18 to post here.

I reported you for underage.

I remember playing pranks in middle school to girls who smoked and they'd lose their shit no matter if they were during class or not.
Even shouting "WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU PUT MY CIGARETTES ASSHOLES" as the teacher was speaking.
Smokers are druggies.

...

nah, didn't say that
I don't think tobacco is bad. I just don't like it when women smoke. It should have stayed a man thing.

Pretty much this. They also tend to make fun of both sides in arguememts

Here's a crazy idea: let the bar owner decide to ban smoking and the employees can choose to work in smoking or non smoking bars

Ginger Cow, I stuck with South Park even during the shit seasons but that one left me wondering what I had just watched. I could barely pay attention due to how boring it was

no it doesn't

It was "all sides in this are shit."

No, it was pretty pro-tobacco companies.

jakovasaurs is especially painful when you know people who act exactly like the jakovasaurs

That was one of the best m8. That Van Halen logo was 10/10

>why does it need to be a universal law to ban smoking in bars?
Because of two reasons:
1. Smokers are literally children, if a group of 10 people go out and 3 of them smoke, the 3 smokers will bitch moan and cry for their sucking addiction until they get their way and the 7 other people are gonna have to suffer for it because smokers are selfish and literally children about it
2. In my country they did that actually, 1 night later ALL the bars and clubs became smokers areas because the owners were afraid to lose customers because again, smokers are selfish manchildren who cry and run in their corner if they don't get their fix for 2 hours while they are in a bar, gladly they banned smoking outright a few months ago
Smokers should be castrated honestly, my dumbass brother included

Lmao at this guy still not getting it. Holy fuck.

>Smokers are druggies
fucking this. this is what it comes down to
>I-i need a fag in my mouth every 30 seconds.
>I only smoke socially(i try to look cool in front of people).
ok you tryhard middle school faggot.

We ban factories from letting carcinogenic/noxious fumes waft all over the employees.

Why shouldn't bars be subject to the same legislation?

Why should some people be forced to choose between being unemployed or having cancer?

Sounds like you need to make better choices and allow others to make their choices as well

you've got a lot of growing up to do kiddo

People who constantly shriek about muh smoking are fucking annoying and Im an asthmatic non smoker.

>never experiencing a cigarette after a long shift at work
>never had a cigarette after a good meal
>never had a cigarette after sex

you're missing out

>I don't like this thing so we should make it illegal

Go to some Islamic shit hole if you hate freedom

Kind of a slow episode. It was funny when they buried madea though

I viewed that mostly as contrarian and deliberately absurd. No one is supposed to take the "poor wittle tobacco conglomerate" stuff seriously.

I quit smoking because you smell like shit and you look like a faggot sucking on a phallus. Outside of Belarus nobody under the age of 25 smokes

libtards please leave and never fucking come back

>That wasn't the point. It was that people who give smokers shit sometimes have their own unhealthy vices.

That's a pretty stupid argument.

Something from s1 probably

Early seasons are shot

>the paradigm is shifting so that people associate smoking with smelling like shit and cancer
>now what will i do to look cool

We tried that at the beginning of the industrial revolution and it turned into a giant race to the bottom in terms of safety.

It's simple: go outside in the fresh air

This is retarded. You only thing smoking is enjoyable because you've linked it with enjoyable things like eating and sex. Literally psych 101. But please continue to act like some kind of refined gentleman because you buy 3 month old camels from Abdul at Walgreens

My city allows smoking in bars and about 15% of bars allow indoor smoking. The rest freely choose to not allow it and do just fine. In fact the reason it's 85% smoke free is because people are smoking less and prefer a smoke free environment. If you don't like smoking you don't have to deal with it. If you want a smoke with your beer you can. Everyone wins and no tax dollars are wasted enforcing yet another law. If you have a problem with a place that has smoking talk to the owner instead of immediately crying for laws.

>mfw plebs that dont love the smell of an ashtray

I vape

I have no sympathy for cancerstick smokers

>thinking I still smoke

Nah man, I grew up. But those moments are made better with a cigarette. You can't dispute it if you've never tried it.

>I vape

>you now remember back when people smoked in restaurants

Friendly reminder that banning smoking on airplanes actually made the air in the plane less healthy and was a money-saving tactic.

Y u so mad?

Again it's not about customer safety, these laws were past for the sake of the EMPLOYEES.

In a society with skyrocketing asthma rates not everyone can work in a fog of tar for 8 hours. Nor should they have to.

>implying you can prove causation on a global scale

Same, vaping right now. Don't really care if some study pops up saying it causes cancer or whatever, it's definitely better than smoking at least and it actually has flavors. Cigarettes taste like shit desu, I smoked for 5 years and it wasn't for the taste

>So have bars specifically for non-smoking

WHAT DON'T YOU GET ABOUT: IT HARMS EMPLOYEES?

Fellow non-smoking asthmatic here, and I agree. I go to the bar quite often, and I think banning smoking from bars was just stupid. The shit never bothered me. What does bother me is now anyone I'm drinking with that does smoke now has to get up and go outside every 15 - 30 minutes, usually more and more often the longer we're at the bar.

It really should be up to the owner of the bar if you can smoke or not. As a non-smoker, if I don't like a bar that's full of smoke, I would just go to a different bar.

There's nothing wrong with how he's dressed, that's an actual fedora (worn by leading Hollywood men) vs the trilby that kids wear.

It was during the peak of the "TROOF" campaign.

>You can't dispute it if you've never tried it
not him but ive tried smoking and it was the least fucking enjoyable thing ive ever done. proof that people that do it are drug addicted degenerates

Ok alan.

So don't get a job at a bar.

Fuck off with your socialism. If the employees don't like it they can get another job.

Liberals will never understand this don't bother

I bet you enjoyed beer the first time too right?

It's the relaxing feeling it gives you, almost a lightheaded high but not enough to essential with your motor functions. It's blissful relaxation. I don't smoke anymore but I remember the appeal.

Cigarettes have literally never done anything for me I would just smoke them because I'm an aspie and they give me something to do with my hands or give me something to do when waiting

Daily reminder that smoking makes your breath, your clothes, your car and anything else you come into contact with smell like absolute dog-shit.

This is why many people look down on smokers. Not because of some kind of hate-filled campaign of propaganda.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I dislike any of the Michael Jackson episodes. Probably some of the laziest stuff they put out. The only jokes in there that they came up with were "lol he talks funny". Everything else they just stole from somewhere else. But I guess a good chunk of what they "write" they just copy shit they find on youtube anyway.

Why do people not understand that certain legislation exists to make work-environments less dangerous?

The logic shouldn't be "Don't want to get maimed by unsafe machinery? Don't work at a Steel Mill". The logic should be that Steel Mills have to conform to OSHA standards.

So don't smoke at a bar. Or smoke outside. Or don't smoke at all.

There's a limit on what you can do in public spaces. Most adults get that.

I think they were just pissed that everyone was becoming health obsessed and "safe"

back in the 90s living fast and dying young was still fashionable.

Good luck finding enough full time smoker bar staffm you fucking moron.

Maybe you considered tipping $10 after every smoke to help pay for bar staff cancer treatment and aftercare it's only a couple 100k... sorry to enlighten you, must be so comfy to never have to think of consequences.

I always thought the episodes where they just spoof the latest hot topic on the news or a movie were the more poor ones. Season 14 was the last season I watched so I don't really know if they still do that that much.
D-Yikes I can't stand at all for example.

Getting maimed by unsafe machinery is one thing, but there are lots of barkeepers that smoke themselves and like to be able to do so during work.

Isn't that where they introduce the Irish cop? I liked that part of it at least.

>at the bar
>guy walks in
>begins spraying liquid shit in his pants
>ask him why he's doing that
>he says it's relaxing and it's the best thing after a hard day at work
>ask him to stop
>he says if you don't want to smell liquid shit then don't come to a bar

Yeah I remember that one neverland episode where all the "jokes" were literally just lame shit that teenagers had been saying online, only done a year or two late when they were old and barely relevant to cultural consciousness anymore

See
I'm not a smoker. I'm just an adult who is old enough to know that we don't need the government to regulate what we do with our free time.
And that machine comparison is beyond stupid.

>I'm probably in the minority here
you are.
This nigga had a sleepover with a bunch of 8 year olds and cartman had a gay stress dream.

Lot of their staff don't smoke and don't want cancer

Well I suppose trying to justify smoking isnt as bad as when people here try to justify drunk driving.

18+

I work in the tobacco industry and this thread is making me laugh

False equivalency.

So why did they seek employment at a place that is known to have smokers all the time?

>but there are lots of barkeepers that smoke themselves and like to be able to do so during work.

Good for them. There are a lot MORE staff that don't smoke and don't want cancer.

that one was gold tho

You realize there are still bars where you can get a tobacco license and allow customers to smoke (like hookah bars), and they don't actually have trouble keeping staff because SOME PEOPLE ENJOY SMOKING. Hell, I know of several bars where they just allow smoking anyway and patrons contribute to a "get out of jail" fund in case they ever get caught.
