"Post-Covid" was the best South Park episode in years

[Mr Momentum & the Sidesteppers]

Seriously it feels like the show lost its luster almost 10 years ago and that Matt and Trey just stopped being as sharp as they used to be. In fact, I would say this episode was almost as good as "Rickmurai Jack". This episode was almost like a summation to the series itself and lived up to the legacy of Bigger, Longer and Uncut. Expecting the sequel to this episode to center on Victor Chaos, who is 1000% Butters aka Professor Chaos. The standouts from this episode would be Doctor Kenneth McCormick, Punished Randy and Cartman having his final, absolute prestige over Kyle.

Oh how far these four have come.



Bravo Stone and Parker!

This thread and the Bitcoin Mining General should be merged together. They are now the same thread.

HO

LY

FUCKING SHIT

THEY DID IT

God fucking dammit. I truly wondered if they could make Butters live up to the hype, and they fucking did it. As soon as Butters started trying to sell everyone NFTs I lost my goddamn shit. Return of Covid is even better than Post-Covid. Matt and Trey have finally found true inspiration again.

"So we'll hate him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. An Eric Cartman."



I find it beautiful that Matt and Trey have tried so desperately to teach us all not to be like Cartman, and yet in the end they have proven their own hypocrisy and that they are far less human than Eric Cartman ever was. Eric Cartman is more morally pure and truly heroic than hypocritical moralfags like Stan and Kyle could ever hope to be. Honestly, these two episodes have taught more about true human nature than anything else South Park has done in decades. In truth, Stan and Kyle ultimately achieved nothing. For all their efforts, all their moralfagging, all their supposed suffering, they achieved nothing. The only one who achieved anything, was Eric Cartman. The true instrument of everyone else's happiness was Eric. He has done more for humanity than they ever will. And his reward, is nothing. The reward for "doing the right thing", is nothing.

Eric could have killed Kyle. His victory was that ultimate and absolute. And yet he chose not to, for a family that he now doesn't have at all. In the words of Menora Cartman:

"But Dad, I don't want to survive if it means I have to be like Kyle."

Kyle has always, from the very beginning, been the true villain of South Park. Just like Batman facing the chance to kill the Joker, Eric Cartman "did the right thing". This is honestly how I feel about all of you, I would rather kill myself right now than be like any of you. I don't need anyone to tell me I'm a better human being than all of you, I've known it in my heart for years. And I'm tired of pretending I'm not. You are all NPCs, and I am the Protagonist. And yet if I was given some opportunity to help or save all of you, I would do it. Just so that you could keep on living and observe that I am in fact, always going to be better human being than you are. My own selfishness and conceit is your salvation, and don't you ever forget it. You are a byproduct of me, and nothing more.

In the end, Eric Cartman should have killed Kyle, just like Batman should have killed the Joker many times. The true moral lesson here is that the only way for a fictional cartoon like South Park or Batman to continue indefinitely is for the hero, in this case Eric Cartman, purposefully choosing to let the villain live. There would be no South Park anymore had Eric Cartman done what any self preserving person would have, and saved his own family at Kyle's expense. But the show must go on, and so Matt and Trey created the ultimate hero simply for him to let the ultimate villain survive. A truly happy ending can only come at the expense of the show itself ending, and money grubbing kikes like Matt Stone and Trey Parker would never allow such a thing to happen.















To all the Kyles and Stans of the world: Fuck you!



Oh and I almost forgot to mention how much I loved the use of this song in the episode. Deemzus has this ability to immediately identify any song from the 80s, within seconds of it playing he immediately named the song on request and told me it was from Beverly Hills Cop. What a guy.

I am both surprised and not surprised at how mediocre and boring Season 25 of South Park was. It's obvious that they wanted to return everything to the status quo after Post Covid, but the status quo of the show has become stale and shitty. Honestly unless the next few Paramount+ specials happen to be stellar on the same level as Post Covid I doubt the show will last much longer. Matt and Trey are either running out of steam or they can only excel at the long form storytelling that the Paramount+ specials grant them. It would really be sad to see South Park go the way of the Simpsons and slowly morph into a zombified, lame version of itself. Hopefully they pull the plug on the show sooner rather than too late.
