    Is it worth checking out the South Park episodes?

    They had some really funny episodes in the 2000s. Don’t think I’ve seen anything more recent except for one or two episodes.

    Outside of that, a lot of their political commentary felt like word salad from regressive provincial Americans.

      They basically revived their early 2000s style with this in my opinion, I’d say it’s worth watching just to see if you like it

      I would recommend them unless you are likely to be offended by your beliefs being ridiculed. South Park really loves to make fun of EVERYONE for whom have a good enough premise. Some people really don’t have beliefs strong enough for scrutiny and get upset. If you can laugh at yourself in general, you will probably enjoy Southpark.

        I’ve watched South Park before, mostly stuff from the 90s and 2000s. Some episodes are really funny and well made. It’s rare that I remember an episode name for series, but “Scott Tenorman Must Die” is an all time classic.

        I eventually tuned out (other than occasional episodes) and as it got a bit samey and IMO they always had a lot of filler/badly made episodes (even in the 90s/2000s). Trying too hard to be edgy.

        I was just curious about their most recent output. I am going to check it out. Another user mentioned that if they felt their recent output was closer to earlier stuff from the 90s and 2000s.

        You don’t know the meaning of the word provincial or do you mean you’ve never encountered it in this context?

          Of or relating to a province.

          Yeah as I thought. Given that America has no providences, my question was more than fair.

            That’s not how you use the term. Provincial as an adjective isn’t solely tied to geographic distribution in counties that formally use provinces as a regional government form.

            I explained what I meant in other reply.

            I honestly thought you know what I meant and were trying to discuss something else entirely. Sorry about that.

          Ah I see, as I expected, just trying to sound smart. Otherwise you would’ve just explained it
