Couldn’t they just animate literally any white house press conference and call it a day?
Im curious what they will come up with

Yes. The show has been writing itself since 2016.
M137@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
It’s kinda been writing itself from the very start. There are always enough weird, funny and fucked up things going on to make episodes about. I think it’s just harder now because of how quickly everything happens and how much there is to choose from.

Now that “Anti-woke” ideology has been revealed as a psyop by the Epstein files, I’m very curious to see if Trey Stone and Matt Parker will choose to reckon with their own contributions or if they’ll double-down.

Anti PC culture was already around for a long time, it just got tossed into overdrive with the 4chan Epstein stuff, they’re pretty self aware though, so we’ll see
FrChazzz@lemmus.org 9 hours ago
Yep. I remember the film PCU quite well. It was a very nineties sentiment in some circles to push back against “political correctness.” IIRC Matt and Trey at one point had to explain to people in the early days that they weren’t conservatives, it was just that they felt that “liberals” tended to be easier to make fun of most of the time (particularly self-righteous celebrities).

Cartman should freak out about it while no one else cares.
Then Stan tells him they won’t be held accountable and it’s never brought up again.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
Alternatively, Cartman is in the files (because Epstein used his paint the walls in shit revenge service to prank one of the actual visitors to the island) and when told he can make the girls do anything he wants, he gets one to make fun of Kyle on video, where he is clearly being an asshole to her.
And Butters is also in the file because they tried to recruit him after he went viral for What, What, In the Butt, which Cartman latches on to and spends the whole episode trying to help Butters clear his name (so that he can clear his own name in the process).
Also Randy is on the list because he was trying to get them to sign Tegrity Farms up as their official weed supplier and he spends the episode trying to supress the information entirely but gets Streisand effected hard, leading to the follow up episode where Trump tries to pin the whole thing on Randy (and everything else, too, and starts bringing up shit that isn’t even public). In the end, Randy gets “one of the harshest punishments ever given to a rich person”: a fine for $3.50, and everyone realizes that it wasn’t a judge presiding over the case, but a 3-story crustacean known as the Lochness Monster and the episode ends with everyone getting together to yell at Nessie (and the incident is never mentioned again).

South Park sucks now. Kyle and Stan said that, and since they are Matt and Trey, i don’t think they enjoy writing this crap. It’s that they can’t stay silent about it, so I personally think they hate that. And I hate it too, everything about Trump makes me want to vomit.
abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
They’re making the big bucks. Theyve regularly tried to get the show cancelled with that joke of “South Park Sucks Now” they even got the hashtag #cancelsouthpark trending on purpose. If they really wanted to walk away, they could. But they just keep coming back with more and more ridiculous demands for pay and they keep getting it.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
As far as I can tell, they are genuinely good folks. After taking ownership of Casa Bonita, during the renovation period that followed, they said that they will pay the existing employees, but only if those employees do charity work while the place is being renovated. Mat and Trey make money but they don’t seem hungry for more. They also renewed a deal with Paramount; but when CBS tried to cancel Colbert so that the duo’s parent company, Skydance, will have the Trump admin approve the merger with CBS, Mat and Trey unabashedly criticised their company without fear of cancellation and despite having just signed a renewed contract. They were not punished nonetheless and if even if there are, they will stick to their guns.
Liuone@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I guess you are right. It’s just about the money now. They already made the deal, so a lot more lazy episodes will be coming.
wpb@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Whenever they take on real world stuff, they’re incredibly smug and sanctimonious about it. This has been the case since the start, and I can’t say I’ve ever been able to get past that.
Liuone@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I grew up on that show, and I don’t really see what you mean. Maybe because my political views are more or less aligned to theirs. But I get this type of humor is not for everyone, especially if you don’t agree with the message they are trying to send. I don’t enjoy their new stuff but it’s because I mentioned in my previous comment. Real world right now is crazier than any fiction, so you can’t really laugh at the jokes when it’s just the world. it’s more depressing than funny.
hector@lemmy.today 11 hours ago
I don’t think so, I think that sounds like some criticism from someone that doesn’t have anything real to criticize.
People like that suck too, like at least be decent to wait to find something with merit to ctiticize, just pushing through some ad hoc criticism anyway is annoying. I mean, how is it sanctimonius of them to critique current events? How is that any more smug than the person criticizing them for being smug for the crime of lampooning current events?
More than likely the criticizer is a dick rider of someone they are making fun of, without anything real to criticize, but a social media following and perhaps a contract for pr.
FrChazzz@lemmus.org 9 hours ago
I remember years back, when they took their first extended break and there were speculations about South Park being done, Trey Parker said something about having Cartman’s voice in his head constantly and so he needed to make the show to kind of exorcise that voice. I bet it’s the same with Randy at this point, too. They can’t help that they have the most obnoxious and insistent muse that’s ever mused.
I also think the title of the recent season finale (“Crap Out”) has multiple layers of meaning: they more or less crapped out a conclusion to a storyline, the story itself is literally a kind of crap out, AND I think there’s a lament/realization that what’s all happening in the US will simply crap out itself rather than be properly addressed and dealt with.

If they don’t enjoy it, they can simply write episodes that they do enjoy.
BananaTrifleViolin@piefed.world 9 hours ago
I seem to be the only one confused by this - what leak? Is it just a typo?
A leak is when something is released without authorisation? So far the only information is authorised releases of the files with lots of stuff redacted, and allegations there is more being held back. Has there been a leak too?
zikzak025@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
There were a couple instances where they accidentally released unredacted versions of files before they realized and replaced them with redacted versions, but that’s all I can recall off the top of my head.
I think there may have been some documents released without authorization before, but I can’t recall when, just a vague recollection.
Killer@lemmy.world 23 minutes ago
There was some that were “redacted” ie the stuff was blacked out but you could highlight and copy/paste it.

You expect South Park, which is owned by two Jews, on the Paramount network, which is owned by Larry Ellison, an ultra Zionist, to make episodes about an Israeli blackmail operation? Shitting on Trump or drawing Muhammad is one thing, but as South Park days, “Either everything but one thing is OK, or nothing is like that one thing.”

If citing like 5 different things from South Park lore wasn’t enough, let me include another. This is their chance to #CancelSouthPark even if they were just on Viacom Comedy Central, but being a Paramount show now makes it that much worse.
