I just read each site's review of the latest season of South Park and they seemed to have zero sense of self-awareness about what the show was mocking or why. But it also seemed like maybe they were aware but for some reason wanted to pretend there was something vague about the episode in order not to talk about these things.
In any case, when did these sites become so cringy?
Have they ever not been?
I don't know what AV Club is, but IGN has always been awful. I'm not sure why you're surprised.
Why are you even visiting these sites I've never heard of
I don't know anything about IGN, but AV Club is crammed full of underpaid interns cranking out content. Anyone talented at the Onion (that is making OC instead of reviews) is doing something else. The "aspiring writer" of this shitty review barely has any followers on twitter.
The whole damn industry has gotten this way because the ads have taken over.
I find out a lot of normie tv shit from the AV Club, and the comments section can be kinda okay when they aren't all trying to be comedy writers.
All I know of IGN is when they tried to form an anime group and couldn't get past the OP of Monster Musume
AV Club is under The Onion you hermits.
They want to be progressive and SJWy, but they also have to seem cool, which means they have to like South Park. Remember when they didn't understand the point of the Safe Space episode?
And they idiotically claimed that it was SOUTH PARK who didn't understand the meaning of "safe spaces."
It's almost like they know they can't openly criticize South Park so they can have to pretend that the content is "confusing" while passive-aggressively sniping at it.
There's a nice parallel here with GTAV's impotent rage cartoon, people are ok when you mock a group they dislike, but when you also mock them they get confused and frustrated.
>Remember when they didn't understand the point of the Safe Space episode?
Care to elaborate?
I think south park honestly invites it at this point, being nothing but satire of things that reallllly don't need any more attention given to them
I disagree. Some things need to be publicly mocked, regardless of how ubiquitous they are.
>Everyone gets all excited about a JJ Abrams reboot
>It ends up being a remake of the original
>"It has all the parts we loved!"
10/10 episode, how can anyone disagree.
would anyone care to suggest any alternatives, if these 2 are not good sources?
i'm with you on that, but this doesn't feel like mockery anymore. it feels like getting two big fistfuls and crawling ass-deep up inside to smell what it's cooking.
i mean i know that the best satire is well-informed satire, but yeesh.
plus they're not even really going as deep into the causes behind this shit. it reminds me of the whole anti-anti-smoking episode where they got tangled up in the obvious false-flag operation the tobacco companies were putting up, and neglected to see past it. this whole election exists to sell satire. You don't cash in on it when that happens. You focus on the fuckers pulling the strings because political news has become an empire
So why was Mr. Garrison orange? Is it just a really obvious way of making him an allegory to Trump? Cause i thought that was already supposed to be pretty clear.
A lot of people these days have issue with Cartman never actually becoming a better person, he's always going to be Cartman. They fail to see that it's just what people with his views are like in real life. They're not going to stop being who they are any sooner than the people complaining would stop being who they are.
>it reminds me of the whole anti-anti-smoking episode where they got tangled up in the obvious false-flag operation the tobacco companies were putting up
lol what.
>Care to elaborate?
They disagreed with it and criticized it, which means they're too stupid to get that they're supposed to accept its message.
>it reminds me of the whole anti-anti-smoking episode where they got tangled up in the obvious false-flag operation the tobacco companies were putting up, and neglected to see past it.
how the fuck are you people so stupid
every single one of you liberal retards misses the whole fucking point
Care to elaborate beyond pulling the "you just don't understand it!" card?
The Onion Labs twitter account was advertising the episode. Does that mean there's some bias with the AV Club then? Should they not disclose this advertising relationship?
I cried once they started making fun of Trump.
Fuck this liberal cuck show.
>THE TRUTH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
>DUDE DOUCHE AND TURD LMAO
>EVEN THOUGH WE WON'T RIP ON TURD WE'LL JUST CALL HER A TURD TO SEEM LIKE WE'RE AGAINST BOTH EVEN THOUGH WE'RE REALLY NOT LMAO
I only check AV Club when they have Gwar perform.
What's wrong with hating one candidate slightly less?
>liking either candidate
kill yourself user
They don't need any more POSITIVE attention, no.
Who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?
Is this TRULY Sup Forums related?
How much has to be explained? How much time does a person have to sink, just to convince--Wait who are you?
Is this time well spent?
We're not all gamblers user.
And I know a lot of SJWs do this. "You're not entitled to my time, I don't argument" And I hate it when they do this. But they're clearly not FOR smoking.
Just listen to their commentary of that episode. For some people, a drag of a cigarette is the only real vacation they get.
Fuck.
The second it involves a cartoon in any capacity, yes, it's Sup Forums related.
I hate you and people like you for thinking you can muscle shit off the board because "I DON'T LIIIIIKE ITTTT"
You can go to another thread. At any. Fucking. Moment.
It's the wrong candidate to hate slightly less
>GTAV's impotent rage cartoon
GTAV openly mocking Sup Forums was hilarious though. It was really the only good PRB episode.
YA CANT SPELL IGNORANT...
Well you don't have to conservative to appreciate that episode, I got it and I'm liberal. It made perfect sense to me how both sides can demonize eachother and in the end it's not as bad as it is.
>You can go to another thread. At any. Fucking. Moment.
That doesn't make this thread any less shit.
It's owned by the same company but it's not a satire site.
Kyle is always exactly the same too
Plus there is no people like cartman, how stupid can you be? Cartman is completely over the top and a stereotype spoiled kid who has magic plot powers
What are you a fucking triggered faggot?
To be fair South Park is perfectly capable of hating people more for their personality than their views and they really hate smug douchebags and agree with Trump or not the dude is a massive Smug Douchebag.He probably even plays it up. Hillary is just another slimy politician but Trump is Trump.
Reminds me of that time that all the SJWs finally turned against Caitlyn Jenner once South Park started mocking him.
It's as though all of them forgot that the day before, they were screaming at everyone who said he wasn't putting the "her" in "hero".
Completely and utterly devoid of self-awareness.
Progressives are subhumans.
Why is Sup Forums raiding every board right now?
This thread would be happening with or without Sup Forums.
>implying Sup Forums needs to raid boards
>implying Sup Forums is a containment board
>implying Sup Forums isn't almost entirely made out of crossboarders
No it wouldn't Sup Forums is clearly the root of all hatred and bigotry on Sup Forums. If Sup Forums weren't here we'd all say kumbaya and jerk eachother off and nobody would call it gay because Sup Forums was gone and such homophobic remarks wouldn't exist.
If Sup Forums weren't here we'd be considerably less faggy and self-important.
I think IGN deliberately kind of stay away from sjw and anti-sjw crap. Even in games they don't seem to focus on this nearly as much as smaller review sites.
Boards have universal Anonymous, not just for each board.
I don't know if their serious or making fun of a cause anymore.
>pol is now a boogeyman for the tumblr tourists
not even surprised honestly
also don't bother replying to me with even more whining about pol or saying I browse it, I'm going to sleep
It's pretty hilarious watching my Liberal Secular friends praise the show for mocking Conservatives and Christians, but they act honestly offended, like a child, when South Park starts criticizing their political beliefs and secularism. It's the same blatant hypocrisy I see with the comic book industry: It's only "provocative" and "revolutionary" when it aligns with our political interests and social views. Something that goes against it? Well, they're part of the establishment with their own nefarious agenda, not us, despite being just as mainstream.
Cartman is, and always has been evil. It's just that now evil means sjws for matt and trey
No, we wouldn't. What you're witnessing is the direct result of politicalization of the internet as a whole, and Sup Forums's reaction to it.
Self-important fagginess was going to seep into this site regardless because despite our best efforts (and they were valiant), the internet inevitably became SRS BSNS.
More importantly, did either of them throw a shitfit at the Jew being behind it?
>AV Club writer tries to get Sup Forums to read his article.
>Sup Forums falls for it.
Sure they pay people to get like 10 extra clicks.
Yeah uhuh.
Sup Forums should fuck off regardless.
he does it for free
I imagine this episode and last season make 0 sense if you dont spend all day on the internet
It's too late for that. It's been too late for 4 years now.
Except when they had to lie about actual evidence to make the episode still work
Are you the guy calling everyone cucks in the AV Club comments?
I really don't get why they had such a hard time with it, this episode wasn't especially taking the piss out of the left
It seemed more focused on the trolls who don't give a fuck and people who just reveal in the drama. The only real piss take of the left was Hilary (when they equally shat on trump) and that the whole not standing bullshit was really just stupid.
But you don't Have to be here user.
I was disappointed Tumblr wasn't in an uproar after the episode. Lousy reasonable people who get the joke.
>Episode is about how just because you bring something from the past back doesn't mean it's still funny
>They prove this by showing how tired the Turd/Douche thing is
>I was disappointed Tumblr wasn't in an uproar after the episode
South Park is a sacred cow for tumblr.
Even when it disagrees with them, they'll give it a nervous laugh to save face.
It's the metric that tumblrites use to gauge whether they're genuinely obnoxious or not.
>H-hey, I didn't get angry at south park. That means I'm one of the reasonable feminists r-right?
>Even when it disagrees with them, they'll give it a nervous laugh to save face.
Completely false. They'll just twist it to mean something they want it to mean to appear as if South Park took their side.
Sounds like Sup Forums.
>They'll just twist it to mean something they want it to mean to appear as if South Park took their side.
Same difference. They'll try to rationalize it regardless.
>South Park made Hillary look good in this episode
Yeah, she sure does look healthy
I think we should pay more attention to the fact that Cartman is the good guy and that the villain manipulating everything behind the scenes is a Jewish lawyer.
I can't wait until Cart the Man blames this all on the Jews.
I think Sup Forums should slit its wrists.
>Cartman is the good guy
>2016
>Still falling for Cartmans guy good act
I don't think South Park has ever made fun of secularism. It's had like three episodes about atheists and one about agnostics, but none of those were about secularism itself.
PC Principal has shown him the way, brah.
why are you visiting IGN at all for any reason ever?
Kinda.
But something you need to recognize is that tumblr is much more wrapped up in appearances than Sup Forums is.
The immediate collective 180 they did on Caitlyn Jenner after that episode came out should be indicative of how important it is for them to "like" south park.
I've seen some people saying this episode was weak and devoid of jokes
You must be a special kind of brain dead to not have enjoyed this episode, it was layered as fuck
Being sincerely, if you watch a old episode and then this one,you see the difference.
Yeah, the animation is very different.
>But something you need to recognize is that tumblr is much more wrapped up in appearances than Sup Forums is.
The hipster contrarian sekret club faggots running rampant around this place say otherwise.
fucking THIS
Is there anyway I can share this or follow you?
Honestly if people are actually still surprised that South Park made fun of something, 20 years later, then they are either fucking retarded or they just started watching the show.
The show has made fun of just about every major religion, most major celebrities, had Mohamed on the show twice, has been making fun of lbgt everything since the beginning and never stopped, every major demographic has been made fun of, black riots compared to zombie apocalypses, made blatant racism into comedy too many times to count....
Honestly no one at all should ever be "surprised" that something they hold sacred was made fun of by this show at this point. Clearly Matt and Trey consider nothing whatsoever to be sacred at all and do not care how much influence said group they are poking at has.
I just wanna point out
>It's implied that Sharon ,who's often to voice of reason, seems to prefer Garrison/Trump over Hillary
>makes fun of feminist humor/Amy Schemer
>makes fun of Black Lives Matter and sitting/standing at the national anthem.
>makes fun of all the shitty "more diverse" reboots
>The common Jew is the one who's is behind the whole splitting genders/races apart.
Yes they made fun of Trump a lot, sure maybe they could have made fun of Hillary some more (I think they will later in the season it's still early days) But at the end of the day I'm not one of those people who can't laugh at the things they support/believe in. As much as I want Trump to win this election, I can still laugh at his overall ridiculousness.
As usual South Park is mocking both sides pretty evenly. I expect a Hillary health episode somewhere this season. As long as it never gets too one sided then South Park is still good in my opinion.
This and last season are a hell of a lot better than the 07-12' era where each and every episode was just a parody of whatever new movie or tv show was popular.
It was just Avatar episode, Equilibrium episode, Honey Boo Boo episode, Whale Wars episode.....
Never seen Equilibrium, what episode is that?
The only people who cared about MUH secret club are summerfags
Were you just born yesterday? They have a history of bashing clinton. Stop pretending otherwise.
AVClub has been shit since at least 2011.
IGN since like 2009.
Still not as bad as Rolling Stone which became irredeemable c.a. 2008.
Did I miss it or was the Anthem not changed to the "cops are pigs" lyrics?
New Anthem was literally Anthem Classic, but with the addition of 'please stand... or sit... or kneel for the national anthem' at the beginning
I didn't notice any pigs in the song.
>It's implied that Sharon ,who's often to voice of reason, seems to prefer Garrison/Trump over Hillary
No, it was only implied she didn't necessarily want to vote for Hillary. It's the same thing as Hillary supporters in real life that can't fathom you considering voting for Trump because it's 2016.
It's one episode, obviously Clinton is gonna get her go, I mean look at it.
You're just like the fucking libs who get assblasted when someone mocks their ideology while they wank off to John Oliver., this cuck too Having it be the sneaky Jew Lawyer at the end was fucking golden.
Tumblr can't get mad at south Park because they love their OOC porn and ships too much.
I can't wait for the heel turn.
Remember when he fought for a women's right to choose just so he could acquire stem cells and clone his own pizza place?
That was only for the commercial.
Which was funnier than the entire episode honestly.
