I'm amazed at how South Park after 23 seasons can make me laugh out loud repeatedly while combining classic south parkisms with hilarious satire of current eve

  Trey and Matt manage to stay relevant in ways that other shows can't. I appreciate their work.

    I think a lot of it has to do with their control of the brand and subsequently the distribution, which they even acknowledged in the most recent episode. Stan was writing a movie script while a Chinese govt official was looking over his shoulder and scratching out work that he didn't approve of and eventually shredded the paper, which Stan responded with "Now I know how all the writers in Hollywood feel."

  I'm amazed at how fresh they've stayed - testament to Matt and Trey I guess. Most comedies are beating dead horses within 5 seasons.

    You said it, todays top post on HN is Apple complying with the removal of Taiwan from their OS.

      The second from the top post is about Adobe cutting services to an entire country, yet here we are, twisting our knickers over a flag emoticon.

        That's the really story though - companies bending over backwards to stay in one market, while cutting off another market so easily.

      Arent Apple chips manufactured in Taiwan? Would Wouldnt it be funny if TSMC decided Apple doesnt exist?
      • majewsky 7y ago
        It doesn't matter if Apple exists as long as Apple's money exists.

    I'm amazed at their leadership in calling out complicit US-based groups like the NBA.

  I wasn't a huge fan of the last season, but the current season seems to be a true return to form. I really hope they can keep up the quality for the rest of the season.

  I'm not saying they don't have a political leaning, but they often focus their energy and 22 minutes on showing just how wildly absurd a situation is. For me, that's a big ingredient in why they've stayed so entertaining.

    They're also a big proponent of bothsideism. For some topics that makes sense (because there are two legitimate or legitimately absurd sides). For other topics it just pollutes discourse by elevating an illegitimate side.

        Or this is how you get the creators apologizing through the characters -for almost half an episode- of being so stupid of equating climate change with a half man, half bear, half pig creature.
        • whatshisface 7y ago
          Hey, it's not like any political movement, pro-climate included, has ever been without some embarrassing missteps and overstatements. You could name anything, no matter how true or virtuous, and I could find you some wayward supporters who are doing more harm than good, and some arguments that only seem right if you focus on their conclusion.
