I hope that new teacher gets an actual personality now that she's staying.

> avoiding trump jokes

what a bunch of spineless wimps.

That's not the issue. The issue is that the Trump jokes went nowhere. Matt and Trey can't keep up with Trump. Where's My Country Gone should have been a one off episode. It was great satire and it predicted Trump's win.

They're avoiding Trump jokes because they're too easy.

They said that at the end of last season. Why do people keep thinking this is news to keep re-reporting?

Makes sense considering their main fanbase are redditors that browse r/the_donald

South Park has historically avoided Presidential riffing. Very few Clinton, Bush, or Obama appearances across their presidencies.

well what the fuck are they gonna do with garrison then

How do you make jokes about him? Seriously, he's beyond being mocked in any satirical way because he is the living embodiment of Poe's Law. Any joke you make he's either already done worse or will do exactly what you joke about before the season's done. He absolutely kills the rewatchability of any satire of him by just making it a mildly better version of what he actually did.

Dude for once I have to agree. It's not just low hanging fruit-
It's fruit that's been buried underground.
It's too easy.
There's nothing challenging about it.

Yeah one of the better nu-South Park episodes,
Trump isn't the problem, it was overuse of him in a show that hasn't been political until it has a biting point, the writing last season was atrocious because they didn't even consider a Trump win was possible (also that weird troll plot-line should've been a 2-parter)

Good. If last season was any indication they have no idea what the fuck to do with Trump. That was only one contributing factor but it was still another one in massive fucking dumpster train wreck it was.

And what sort of masterfully hilarious Trump jokes would you like to see?

The one where people call him "Drumpf"?

That and they hate making fun of the same shit everyone else is.

you can't make jokes about him because anything he does in real life will be funnier than any fictional scenario you can come up with

You could just use his actual policies and statements.

Kinda like a [this is what scientologists actually believe] sort of thing

>that time when Matt and Trey had to rewrite the post-election episode literally hours before the premier

stuff like him not understanding why the civil war happened or thinking andrew jackson could have stopped it

Yeah pretty much just repeating what he does is comedy enough.
An episode about how much golf he does while his tweet about Obama golfing too much flashes in a corner the whole time, for example.

Yeah, avoiding low hanging fruit, how cowardly of them.

>Garrison orders syria to be bombed
>Trump's tweet about needing permission from congress pops up

>"Drumpf"
>grown adults using grade school bully "LOL, I said a made up word instead of your actual name, I'm so funny!" humor

>nothing challenging about it
Has literally never stopped South Park before.

The problem with Trump is that whatever they make fun of him for, he'll outdo it himself in a few days. Whether or not you agree with him politically, the man is a goddamn buffoon with far more evidence supporting him having no idea what he's doing than there is him being a secret genius playing everybody.

They make a Trump episode and a few days later Trump has done something that makes the Trump episode feel utterly outdated. There's nothing they can do.

It would be better if most of the people making fun of Trump didn't fall back on the color of his skin, his hair or a last name of a dead family member.
Oh wow, it's already been done. and to death.
There is a reason you two don't write comedy.

>implying Andrew "these redskins I'm boiling ain't potatoes" Jackson couldn't have stopped it if he wanted to.

Trump is already a walking parody of himself, and they probably still feel the sting of their last season being ruined because they hinged it on the election results

>>>tumblr

>They make a Trump episode and a few days later Trump has done something that makes the Trump episode feel utterly outdated.
This.

Doesnt help either that Matt and Trey approached making fun of him in the laziest and most obvious ways we've all seen a million times before.

>Oh wow, it's already been done. and to death.
Cool, it hasn't stopped being hilarious.

They need a few Trump jokes every now and then. Not every episode, but maybe ~15 seconds every few months.

maybe r/the_donald is more your speed

The last season had a lot of Trump jokes. If anything, they're avoiding repetition and reusing old material.

Yes, just like spelling his name "tRump."

Truly the height of enlightened comedy.

this site got trump elected to btfo sjw's. no matter what he does they get triggered

>hinged it on the election results
That was the biggest mistake. Clinton was never going to win.
I'm sure people still think Family Guy is funny. I'm also sure that those people think they have valid opinions. I think you and those people are one in the same.

South Park is supposed to be surprising. What's surprising about being completely in harmony with the Failing New York Times?

I'm sorry you're really butthurt about people laughing at a perpetual laughingstock but that's just the natural reaction to a massive hypocrite who makes a fool out of himself on a daily basis.

>>>tumblr

>Accuse someone else of old jokes
>This is your idea of a comeback
lul

They always confuse me when trying to insult his "Muslim ban".

Without fail, they'll claim it's racist, and then ask why (some other Muslim country) isn't on the list, as if they suddenly want more Muslim countries to be banned.

Remember, these are liberals you're talking about. Any semblance of wit left them long ago.

there's no point in making fun of trump when he consistently makes fun of himself everyday

it would get boring

I'm sorry that I'm sick of lazy "humor". I'm sure you are hyped for Amy Schumer and Dane Cook's next shows, but I'll wait for actual comedy writers to make funny jokes that aren't just
DUDE HE'S RACISIT LMAO
CHEETO xDDD
(((DRUMPF)))
You can enjoy that, but I'd rather not rely on lazy quips/

>I'm sorry you're really butthurt about people laughing at a perpetual laughingstock

There's only so many times you can watch Stupid Man Does Stupid before it gets tired.

well I know I'm tired and it's only been like 4 months

pinnacle of comedy, ladies and gentlemen. Lap up this man's artistic juices before they run dry

He literally cannot be mocked. When they tried doing so with that bit in the last season where you could easily manipulate Garrison just by being the last person who gave him information, it ended up being prophetic.

but we got 8 years of 5d chess that people think are stupid

Even if you wanna mock Trump, Hillary supporters made shit like this. youtube.com/watch?v=vLGFyxAP0QE
This is beyond parody.

they ask why countries trump does business with arent on the list

>lazy humor
It's a different joke every day, it's just coming from the same source.

Well you shouldn't have elected a literal reality tv star then, what else did you expect.

for him to make america great again which he is doing. we btfo obamacare and muslims and are making the mexicans pay for the wall. next is locking shillary up

>they'll be avoiding Trump jokes next season:
No they won't.

Actually Drumpf was the original Germanic spelling of the Trump name, the problem is that retards don't understand that Drumpf is still pronounced "Trump" and they only changed the spelling

>They'll be avoiding Trump jokes
I guess they just don't want to bring him up at all then. Fair enough.

good, cartoons need to do the world a favor and keep out of political shit

>shit eating libertarians who think both sides are as bad as each other and you're even worse if you care aren't going to take an unambiguously bad person to task

Gosh, shocking.

But I thought Drumflumphflumph was literally Adolf Hitler.

Why would Adolf Hitler be doing business with oppressed minorities from the Religion of Peace?

South Park almost never made fun of Obama, or even Bush for that matter. I didn't see you guys bitching then.

>it's just coming from the same source.
No, it's coming from people like Samantha Bee (Also, the fact that anyone listens to a fucking Canadian about politics is a joke that's funnier than anything she's put out), Colbert and others. It's the same 3 jokes. Over and over again.

DROOMPF!!!

*Sup Forums laughs*

Because he was secretly a jew all along.

>next is locking shillary up

That would probably help the democrats a great deal.

Nobody can stand her, but she refuses to fuck off.

Hitler was a jew. Spoilers.

You hear how her pact is looking into 2020? The delusional bitch is actually thinking about running AGAIN.

No its different jokes, you just pretend all of Trump's fuckups are the same boring old fuck up people should expect instead of a new and exciting one every day.

>Comey had to find out he was fired from the news
>Trump's letter to him thanks him for saying he told him he wasn't under investigation three times
it would be a comedy of errors if the leader of the free world wasn't in Russia's pocket

I miss when liberals weren't turbo Alex Jones tier conspiracy theorists.

go back to being episodic and have the kids react as kids would.

or age the main kids up to high school.

If the hyping of Chelsea by the media is anything to go by, the Democrats will push her instead for "youth appeal"
Problem is that some celebrity trying to boost his ego and Mark Zuckerberg will be gunning to be the Democrat rep for 2020, plus the socialists will demand Bernie and YAAASSS SLAY QUEEN XD crowd will demand Machelle Obama run
The left will be divided like fuck over who wins the Democrat seat that Trump is guaranteed to win

At least Alex is entertaining.

>trump's gonna be gunning for the democrat seat
I know that's not what you're implying but it doesn't sound that out of character at this point.

Thank fucking god

I'm tired of every talentless hack on hollywood putting a bunch of Trump jokes together and calling it a day. Even they jumped on the bandwagon and it sucked.

Trump jokes weren't the problem with last season

The whole season was 1 joke (trolling) and none of it was funny

>Trump becomes the nominee for both parties
>his VP pick is himself

I miss when conservatives didn't stick their head in the sand and ignore reality

oh wait

>Well you shouldn't have elected a literal reality tv star then, what else did you expect

I'm not American. I, like most non-Americans, are sick of hearing about your shitty leaders. Clinton was a grade-A cunt and it's a testament to how unlikable she actually was that she lost to a candidate a fucking turnip could have beaten. A literal goddamn turnip, with a Reagan face drawn on in sharpie.

Sorry should have said
>Problem is that some celebrity trying to boost his ego thinking he can follow Trump's footsteps while spending these four years mocking him will be gunning for the democrat seat

What reality are conservatives ignoring?

>>Problem is that some celebrity trying to boost his ego thinking he can follow Trump's footsteps while spending these four years mocking him will be gunning for the democrat seat
still sounds like trump

nothing it's the sjw libcucks who ignore how great trump is doing

>t. user from an alternative reality

Stan Marsh? More like Stan DARSH

Last season had a lot of problems. You could probably write a college thesis on just how many ways they fucked up. Sad part is that wasnt even a memorable train wreck. SP discussion seriously died down when the season ended unlike with 19 where people were talking about it all the way up until 20.

the reality where the candidate they elected is a joke of a human being who has no idea what he's doing and can barely perform the basic functions of his position without throwing a temper tantrum and going to blow off steam with a nice round of golf every weekend

>blow off steam with a nice round of golf every weekend
can a man not golf without being attacked anymore

They're not ignoring reality, they just can't tell which one it is anymore since Trump changes it every time he opens his mouth.

I was hoping for a serious answer, but instead I get some Washington Post-tier soundbite like this:

turnabout is fair play

>Clinton was never going to win
Probably would have if not for the email shit. It's not like Trump won in a landslide. It was very close.

Sup Forumsmblr

What was the original supposed to be about?

The reality of how, despite 20 months now of investigation, there has been literally zero evidence discovered that supports collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to affect the election, yet this somehow means TRUMP IS RUSSIA'S LAPDOG GUYZ.

>Trump is in Russia's back pocket! That's why he bombed the shit out of Syria, Russia's ally and the reason why Obama and Clinton wanted us to go to war with another nuclear power!

Don't blame the Russians just because your people are so fucking stupid that they elected a cunt for no other reason than "He's a cunt" He gained popularity for not other reason than upsetting the PC crowd. That's your nation's mentality, you don't get to pretend it was a foreign powers doing just because you don't want to acknowledge what the world has been saying for years.

Americans are fucking stupid.

No "evidence", user. Please keep your facts straight when quoting the president.

You guys remember that time Cartman unironically spent an entire season being a SJW?

It's not a conspiracy theory when the FBI actually gets involved.

You're talking about Obama, right? Because that describes Obama to a t.

I resent that Russia thinks they're better at nonsensical shitposting than we are. American Sup Forums really needs to step it up.
