  • So, somehow, in 2023, we are in the midst of an honest to god South Park renaissance. I covered 5 out of 6 episodes of Season 26, and to close everything out, I wanted to put everything in one place and add some final thoughts on the latest season of the show. This video is basically a compilation of all of my individual breakdowns, PLUS new thoughts on things I missed or got wrong in between each episode breakdown, and finally there will be a big final thoughts section on the season as a whole.

      They did this with “the prince and his wife” as well. it’s not about not giving them recognition, it’s about showing how anyone can become these types of people no matter the name if you let your ego control and dictate your life. Not naming the characters to not give them recognition is pointless as we already know who they’re parodying.

    Stan is also mentioned in prior seasons with episodes like “freemium gaming” as having addiction problems and using board games to deal with it. So in the episode “Spring Break” him playing board games is Stan’s version of rebelling and having a “Wild bender” of a spring break

Also parallels the post-Covid special, since we know that Kenny, Butters, and Jimmy end up becoming the richest out of all the South Park Elementary alum when they grow up. Butters's work ethic especially parallels it since we know he ends up becoming a businessman.

    Personally I thought Worldwide Privacy Tour was one of the best episodes they’ve ever done. There is a bit that almost no one has caught but it’s brilliant. Notice how the Prince only does drum fills when he practices as opposed to actually playing a grove. It’s such a deep implication that he never played with anyone.

    One thing I think Dickinbaus commented on that you didnt go over was how the laziness of managers is also to blame. You can’t start a business, eat expensive mustard, and live a rich-lux life and expect your workers to be motivated to work for you. Butter’s basically became the owner at that breaking point, and his passion rather than desire for money saved the restaurant.

    It's really nice to see Kenny and Cartman have their own episode after they'd been distant in past seasons. The boys used to be structured like Stan and Kyle are friends, Kenny and Cartman are friends, and because Stan and Kyle get along with Kenny they sort of just *end up* hanging out with Cartman. So, reinforcing Kenny and Cartman's friendship was both sorely needed and refreshing.

    I think my favourite thing about this come back is the approach to having smaller arc's.

It was funny had got a good few laugh's but ultimately didn't drag on/completely over stay it's welcome. I hope that they do more mini arc's like that for other characters and continue experimenting with the status quo

    My one issue with Dickinbaus is that one of Cartmans like, 2 positive character traits is hes really, really good at being a manager. He was very effective running a Parental Revenge Center, he ran a effective burger store with Kyle that one time. He's pretty good at organizing the kids to do stupid shit, Cartmans really good at getting stuff done as long as he actually wants to do it. Dickinbaus is like the one time he was absolutely useless at running a business.

      The people that own woods don’t want a one time payout, they’re interested in continued income. And for that they need constant wood.
      So they plant new trees for the ones they cut down, to ensure a continuation of timber.
      And we all know trees create oxygen, so in a way, using more paper is encouraging the planting of more green trees!

    This is the first season in a while that I've watched all of, and all of the episodes are good. It had a good balance of humor, commentary, and also showing the characters as characters, instead of just a vehicle for the commentary.

      I felt the same thing! And, the endings now are kinda more “wholesome” than before, a lot more paybacks to the characters like cartman and randy. They are also exploring new characters, it feels like they are trying to focus more on the show and its worldview and character development:-D

    Honestly, thinking back to the longer seasons we used to get, I'm glad these ones are short now. Yes, long seasons had some peak South Park in them, but there were plenty of season where the episode quality varied heavily. I feel like the fact that they don't have to make as much content allows them to focus on just the best ideas. Some of the best UK TV shows were only around 6 episodes a season, I think it's really a case of quality over quantity. The specials are cool too, I like having the format variety and it makes the show very unique compared to other shows. With all the legal trouble, it's hard to say if they'll keep doing them in the future. I hope at least that the specials format lives on in some capacity, if it can't be exclusive to Paramount or whatever happens.

    You know what really makes me confused is Trump was actually a character in an earlier season episode. The one where garrison makes a new mode of transportation and has an investors meeting and trump is in attendance. Kinda funny they turned Harrison into trump

      @eddiemangum2326 Před rokem

      That was before Trump made a complete ass out of himself on the global stage. He was too toxic even for Matt and Trey, so they had Garrison kill him off and fill in. Nobody was expecting him to actually win the election.

    the jump in numbers is because south park clips on tiktok started to get a bunch of traction, and unlike family guy when it was huge on tiktok, south park clips make you want to go and watch more south park to get the context of the crazy stuff that’s happening in them, and a lot of young people use tiktok and most of those people are also on youtube so the traction that it gains on tiktok would translate onto youtube

    Personally, I think that South Park as well as Trey and Matt, have done well remaining popular after so long whereas other animated shows (The Simpsons and Family Guy specifically) have outstayed their welcome for FAR TO LONG, it just goes to show that South Park will hopefully never lose their edge.

    On your point about the Prince and Princess having lived in Cartman’s house not being mentioned. It can brought up later as a tidbit in a future episode. Maybe mentioning that the house had gone up in value as former celebrity house would be a nice way for Lianne to put Eric in his place. Or simply a visual gag of the Cartman house having a historical plaque by the front door would be pretty funny.

    ai and robot workers SHOULD be taking over for us. what we need now, I think, is high taxes on businesses and some form of safety net for us average citizens, we're getting to the apex of society where soon capitalism won't work anymore because we just won't have enough jobs left for humans. so instead of trying to find ways to keep ourselves in the rat race of empty work and dead end jobs, we should prepare to replace ourselves.

    In regards to the conspiracy theory; Matt Stone has made it _abundantly_ clear that he knows who it is that's keeping his bread buttered, and to appreciate his circumstantial success... 6 Days to Air used the analogy of van Halen; their creative engine being primarily Eddie with the writing songs and lyrics, but without DLR, it just isn't VanHalen.
