For a while, South Park was actually awesome because they criticized BOTH sides of the aisle.
Lately, it's been all 'orange man bad' which was a bummer. Now, it appears they've fully gone woke.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone built up a huge audience of center-right white guys over a period of decades on the ethos of being disgusted with the “douche or turd” choices in American politics, and then they got radicalized by, of all things, the firing of Stephen Colbert, and… https://t.co/TBFXLeHMVF

An actual clown was Alexander Vindman. They should be mocking the heck out of him.
South Park doesn’t even try to be funny anymore, they just say something about Trump and look at you like this pic.twitter.com/hINAhtzXD3

Bingo!
I've written several pieces defending their humor against the political right or online right because they usually went both ways, the joke was always that they would turn on the people who agreed with them. And that was always pretty great.

Now yeah it just feels like they're… https://t.co/O0geOgg1vn
Maybe they'll return to the old model. Time will tell. It's not looking good.
Their first jump the shark moment was getting rid of Chef. I love South Park and have a Randy Marsh tattoo, fan since about 98-99, but I don’t follow new seasons because the humor is lazy.

It's just easy to focus on the big, bad Republicans.
Did they hire a bunch of people from failing comedy central shows? Because that's what it has felt like since streaming.

My understanding is that they are deeply and sincerely mad about Colbert.

Someone should tell him it's not that deep.
The first time I noticed they had jumped the shark was back in 2018 when they released a whole episode basically screaming about global warming (ManBearPig).

The show had an episode early on making fun of Al Gore and the global warming panic. But in 2018, they released a new… https://t.co/lAnG2O0ZpK
They had moments of brilliance. It's sad they let their Trump Derangement Syndrome take over.
I knew we’d lost them when they tried to rehabilitate ManBearPig.

Matt and Trey have had TDS ever since Trump won the 2016 election, which ruined their plans for season 20 and forced them to hurriedly make a new election episode in a single day. They foolishly believed online betting sites that said Hillary would win.

The guys who make fun everyone have changed. They’re making fun of the President. https://t.co/saWQTcqIpl

That's fine. Cool. That's what political comedy is about. They could also make fun of the Democrats who are slowly collecting commies who are nepo babies. That could be funny.
Remember when Obama was president and all the comedians and late night hosts told us they couldn't parody him because "there's nothing to make fun of?". https://t.co/DU682ZFKLQ

Because he was a perfect, magical unicorn or something.

I hadn't considered the squandering of the south park brand was a middle finger to paramount https://t.co/BXvDJ0Czve
What a waste.
