![]() South Park has tackled the topic of gender identity multiple times in its modern history, the other episodes I can think of that also tackled it was “Stunning and Brave” (of course for the storyline about Caitlyn Jenner) and then “Board Girls” from Season 23. I absolutely love this episode and it’s on par with any classic South Park episode in my opinion. This is definitely why Cartman needs more character development and growth as I’ve talked about before, because I can tell they’re starting to recycle similar storylines we’ve seen of him. For example, when he pretended to have Tourettes in the episode “Le Petit Tourette”, or when he pretended to be ‘transginger’ (which is the next episode I’m gonna be talking about). Although I feel like we’ve seen Cartman pretend to have something he doesn’t as a get out of jail free card so many times before. The episode is an honorable mention because of the god awful PC Babies stuff, but the Cartman moments were fine. This episode pissed a lot of people off, but you know that when a South Park episode pisses people off they’re doing something right. Yes, I know anxiety is a very real thing, but anxiety is something everyone deals with, and you aren’t special for having it, sorry. This episode in particular makes a really good point in my opinion, about how everyone these days loves to glamorize their mental illnesses and act like it’s a personality trait they have or something. Them using Canadians rather than Mexicans to talk about immigration was a really creative use of the show’s universe.Īnother great episode that continues the trend of episodes focusing on mental health, just like “Skank Hunt” and “Put It Down”. I dislike most South Park episodes that focus on the Canadians, however I really like this one because I feel like they were implemented well and were used for a real purpose rather than just a bunch of pointless fart jokes. And it’s the best modern day South Park episode to tackle our current views on immigration. I would argue that this is the best Garrison/Trump episode we got, and the only good Garrison/Trump episode we got. ![]() Garrison’s character was really smart, having him be the anti-PC Principal, it really offered a different perspective and was a way to mock both extremes. But they were able to use that prediction to their advantage in this episode, and satirize how fucking ridiculous Trump’s campaign really was at the time when we were all laughing at it. They didn’t think Trump would ever be president, which is what a lot of us thought, boy were we wrong. This was South Park making fun of the Trump campaign back before any of us knew what the next 4 years were gonna look like.
