Personally I think the Saddam Hussein equse tiny ducked caricature is much funnier than Mr Garrison.

Never really like Garrison as a character tbh, seemed like a more try hard and less tolerable version of Randy. (Don’t even get me started on the trans storyline)

But the way Trump was portrayed in South Park as of recently seems a lot more spiteful towards the moronic war criminal, and I’m all for it. It’s just a lot funnier that they chose to boastfully roast GOP and have a outrageous storyline of Trump fucking and impregnating Satan.

Much funnier than the messy 20th season

    They didn’t really plan for Garrison to be Trump for that long, he was just supposed to be the stand-in “crazy person running for president” and they didn’t expect him to actually win. So when he did they had kind of written themselves into a corner and the entire season after that a mess. I definitely prefer Saddam Trump.

      Yeah, that’s quite a downside to making a single episode in just 6 days, consider this a hot take but I think the 3-week delay inbetween season 27 and 28 gives Matt and Trey enough breathing room to plan out their commentary.

    I stopped watching South park a long time ago. I really prefer the early seasons before they started making each episode the week it airs. Less topical is more entertaining to me.

      While I love the earlier seasons, depending on the topic, some of the new eps can be pretty good too. Chin diapers instead of masks 👌

        But mask discourse is very dated now. I haven’t thought about face masks in years, why would I care about topical humor based around it? Underpants gnomes are timeless.

    Still funny after 29 years, it’s impressive. They lasted way longer than the Simpsons.

    I’m sad they only did one AI-generated video of Trump.

      As much as I don’t like AI, I think the Trump PSA in Sermon on the Mount is now one of my top 5 favourite SP gags.

    You kept the attention whore post up and deleted the post crying about the word cunt?

    Hahahahaha. Goddamn it’s just a perfect example of performative feminism.

          Ah, well your outburst in this thread seemed wildly of topic without that context.

          Not sure how the performative feminism comes into it tbh. Nor how this particular posts is ragebait.

            Eh if mods want to take my comment down, I’ve got no problem with that.

            It was simply a comment directed at OP.

            He was already told that saying South Park is a good LGBT+ representative was bait and he’s here now with this post, so there now his piss poor rage baiting is topical lol
