The recent BAFTA controversy makes me bring up another reason they're going to hell. They had an episode on Tourettes where they meticulously went over many different variations of it... outside of the one that makes you vocalize your offensive intrusive thoughts. Meanwhile Cartman spends the episode saying the most offensive thing at any moment and "that's how you know he's faking it" Statistically it's likely that at least one major figure on social media coming out against John Davidson had their perception poisoned specifically by this episode.

2026-02-24 17:53:01 +0000 UTCI resonate so much with Lindsay’s frustration about “both sides are equally bad” arguments. Really? I’m no fan of the Dems, but they’re just as bad as the current regime violating people’s rights and just laws in general with no repercussions? They’re the same to you? REALLY?! My favourite part of the video is Lindsay dubbing over Sideshow Bob’s visual gag. Mood.

2026-02-23 18:16:51 +0000 UTCI genuinely spent the first five minutes of the video aghast at South Park still being a thing. I kind of want a follow on, a "why is South Park the way it is?" Is it a uniquely American thing to be edgy but then sort of realize wait, I actually care about things? Is it a uniquely human thing? It's part of growing up, but societies grow up at very different rates than individuals.

2026-02-23 05:49:04 +0000 UTCI do wonder if part of Matt and Trey's humor focusing on Liberals and not too concerned with people not understanding Cartman is that they grew up in the stereotypically liberal Colorado. "Of course no one would take this seriously, no one talks like this".

The problem was that middle school kids who hear their parents sling anti-Semitic (and generally racist, but less so) crap around, and then see Cartman do it too, do not get the Archie Bunker joke that we are supposed to be laughing *at* Cartman, not with him. I liked the show as a kid, but that shit was a real pain to deal with.
