Review: South Park Episode 200

Sweet, sweet, straight, unfiltered reference. Nectar of the mind vines. The reference, in all their unfilteryness, remind you that this whole time- South Park is just a TV show. Sure, a TV show steeped deeply in its own meta world, but the first three words of that parenthetical were "a TV show". I am 24 years old, Park is 10 years younger than me, and thankfully has been smarter than me this whole time. South Park in its purest form is Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The are people, and people are what grows with you.

So, I agree with you all in saying that if you don't follow South Park you are not going to like this episode. As for me and m unabashed love affair with these smart people with a tv show. A tv show that happens to be a cartoon with children protagonists. These men get to do anything they want with these children, and they chose to make them to IE go into space and follow a Taco that pooped ice cream to save earth, which is a TV show to aliens, from being canceled. IE stab Jesus in the neck to a plot too involved to recap involving Easter and the disciple Peter actually being Peter Rabbit. I am not going to do IEs anymore. The point is: they are still on the air, remaining fresh, and challenging the viewer. Look how many Emmys they deservedly won. Look it up: The last 3, and 4 overall. This show did that. Because they have such a rich dynamic history that you can point to and is pockets of an era. Names like Pip, Miss Chokesondicks, Miss Crabtree, the time Tweek was their 4th friend. And they can, should, and will do anything they want to. Because that's called 'they earned it.' There probably is an actual word for that, but you need to be slapped with that. And please continue to support smart people making smart tv.
