Credigree Weed St. Patrick’s Day Special

Butters is excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

You Look Very Festive

Blegh , more weed, this sucks

[shadmaster]

I was right! Terrible episode, one of the worst in the series.

[triplemultiplex]

I'm genuinely amused by Butters being treated as sex offender for pinching someone. The most harmless pussy in South Park is treated as a monster and that is funny. The court appointed lawyer coming back in the room to slap Butters in the face one more time. When he's in jail praying to St. Patrick for any help, maybe even a leprechaun, and you already know that Randy's on his way to jail dressed as he was, it's like oh, boy here we go.

Way too big of a giggle from me over the name of the Irish Pub in South Park; "Farty O'Cools."

Couldn't help but notice Detective Harrison deliver his trademark "Freeeeeze" that was the runner in Butters' Bottom Bitch.

It got a little weird with Randy suddenly having magical St. Patrick's Day powers. And then again with the appearance of the actual St. Patrick. It honestly had me thinking everything after Randy smoked up in the jail cell was all in Randy's head and the end of the episode would be Randy going around the holding cell groping the other detainees as if he were St. Patty. Playing it straight and having St. Patrick's Day "cancelled" fell flat by comparison.

Leave it to America though, to take a celebration from somewhere else, turn it into a booze fest, then start fighting amongst themselves about it. St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, ... and I guess that's it. (So much for that idea.)

The reveal about Credigree mixing their weed with Tegridy, I thought they would turn that into some kind of metaphor for America; how it takes things from other places and combines them to make something that's more than the sum of its parts. Like the union of the two weeds was better than either by itself, just like a hokey ethnic celebration can become something more fun for everyone to enjoy; something like that. Oh well.

Overall, Butters' story was funny, Randy was more annoying than funny without a good payoff at the end. Really felt like a subject that Fatass would weigh in on.

Right???? These episodes feel so disjointed without the main 4. Doesn't feel like South Park.

I was right! Terrible episode, one of the worst in the series.

The last 3-4 seasons have been dog sh*t. Very few good episodes sprinkled in. Facebook and tran episode are all I can think of.

They hated Trump and never sh*t up about him despite him being on every channel.

Now we have Biden and a terrible leadership that needs to be ripped to shreds, and they literally ignore.it.
China is locking their citizens down worse than ever. Nothing.

They are bought out or something..

SP woke me up to how terrible CCP was and how terrible wokeness is, now all they do is seem like they're mildly woke and it's pretty upsetting.

Their TDS may have ruined the best show on television.

[Big-Will]

South Park Republican spotted.

Yes, they hated him, due in no small part to Trump himself, but they gave him a reprieve when he was out of office but still able to use executive privilege. They went after QAnon instead.

Now we have Biden and a terrible leadership that needs to be ripped to shreds, and they literally ignore.it.
China is locking their citizens down worse than ever. Nothing.

You do know we're still in a pandemic, right? Season 24 only had two episodes, and there are two and a half years to go on Biden's Presidency. They'll get to him.

"Band in China" didn't do it for ya?

SP woke me up to how terrible CCP was and how terrible wokeness is, now all they do is seem like they're mildly woke and it's pretty upsetting.

I didn't know anything about being woke until I read about it online. South Park never used the term.
When I finally read about it, it was only from the right, and never in the original meaning. Never heard it coming from the left.

I will agree that the show sucks now. Just look in this thread: we're not talking about the episode at all.

You weren't around black people then. Woke used to mean mainly black people realizing that black people were clearly being abused by cops and are clearly/obviously being kept down by the powers that be.

White people, especially ones that are self righteous, have taken the term over. So for a brief period it was a positive thing, however self righteous left wingers have turned it into a political left vs right BS game.

Sure right wingers use the term woke, but pretending that only brain washed right wingers can call brainwashed left wingers woke doesn't really compute.

I had "lefties" calling themselves "woke" and anyone that didn't agree with them "racist", and I went to a primarily black school.

It was ashame that Matt and Trey hate Trump and take sides - they are not as smart as one would think. I did learn about Zen from them, but they have all but lost that.

Woke would still be a good thing if woke people, or the people who clearly act woke(but you want to say that the name is just a right wing insult), weren't a nightmare.

At least you are aware South Park has become very bad.

Like the other user. I am stupidly holding out hope they go back to bashing both sides, embracing Trump's idiocy, and admitting that their recent approach is dog sh*t.

The FaceBook episode came out in 2010. Also I think the show was fine until Tegridy became the main thing. I wouldn't even mind that the creators are more liberal now, (They aren't) because they still sh*t on both sides. There's just more material on the right side currently.

[KelpFlakes]

Terrible, hate the direction we're going in. Last time I checked this show is about the 4 boys, not Randy, who isn't even funny anymore might I add.

Agreed, although I did enjoy his role in The Streaming Wars

The right moved away from the creators. That's what you saw over the reign of the disgraced orange guy. The SP guys didn't change that much, but one of the political parties took such a hard turn toward this cult of personality that they left dudes who dabbled in Libertarianism (like Matt and Trey) well behind.

Wtf are you talking about?

Trump was okay with gay marriage, and was okay with weed.

First of all no Republicans were about that at all, and that completely changed. Second the left wing is the wing that has went completely off the rails. The fact that you were saying anything else is kind of nuts.

Trey has officially bought into left-wing propaganda, including global warming. Global warming is a tool to make the left wing money, and get them votes. If it were as simple as saying we are dealing with global warming, and that alone would fix it, we'd be good. But it's a lot more complex than that. Our minds need to radically change, until then things won't get better.

Big Will calls me a Republican because I dcanr stand how left wing South Park has become. Because they had TDS.

If anyone on the left had any type of brain, including the people from South Park apparently. They know people are fed up with how terrible our leadership has been, and Trump is nothing more than a middle finger. South Park should have backed Trump, because Trump is basically them, well was them.

And those were good on his part. But who in his party now is talking about these issues?

Trump being okay with gay marriage was the reason Caitlyn Jenner was his running mate in Season 20.
Trump being okay with weed is the reason Towelie became a central character during the Trump years.

...and that completely changed.

Why did it change? Why did he choose judges who are against the things he's for?

Second the left wing is the wing that has went completely off the rails.

I think everyone sees that, but if you could elaborate some more on that...

Trey has officially bought into left-wing propaganda, including global warming. Global warming is a tool to make the left wing money, and get them votes. If it were as simple as saying we are dealing with global warming, and that alone would fix it, we'd be good. But it's a lot more complex than that. Our minds need to radically change, until then things won't get better.

Global warming as propaganda? Each year these days is warmer than the last, leading to extreme weather conditions. This is NOT propaganda. Just look at the thermostat in your own residence and tell us it's spouting propaganda at you.

Big Will calls me a Republican because I dcanr stand how left wing South Park has become. Because they had TDS.

I call you a Republican because only Republicans used "TDS" for what everyone else calls criticism.
By the same token, I can call all your criticisms of Democratic policies and Trey's apparent capitulation to them "Democrat Derangement Syndrome," and it would work just as well as TDS serves you.

If anyone on the left had any type of brain, including the people from South Park apparently. They know people are fed up with how terrible our leadership has been, and Trump is nothing more than a middle finger. South Park should have backed Trump, because Trump is basically them, well was them.

Nobody wanted a middle finger leading the country, which is why Trump served one term instead of two. This is why Matt and Trey soured on Trump becoming President - they would have had a field day - hell, a field season - with Hilary. This is also why Skankhunt42's storyline changed once Trump was elected.

[shadmaster]

Let's stop all this political beef guys (although Will is 100% the right one here) and talk about how AWFUL this episode was!
