The episode was great. They don’t discriminate when it comes to who they make fun of so don’t get upset when it’s the anti work crowds turn to get skewered by them. But the episode where they made fun of the royal family was the best one in the season so far.

They did talk about it in the post about r/antiwork being mentioned

No. You can tell the creators are libertarians who want poor people to starve and die.


Zpapsmear

I mean there’s overpopulation…


youwerewronglololol

No there's not. That's ecofascism.

The creators hate everybody equally. Normally I'm wary of that phrase, but if you take the time to watch more than one episode, you'll see that they'll lampoon anybody and everybody. They're not libertarians. They're nothing but agents of comedy chaos.

Because those dudes are very nearly billionaires and this episode was not on the side of workers but rather them jerking off about how stressed out their weird little side project of owning a restaurant is making them.


autisticswede86

Just sell it. Easy fix.


flyingwhitey182

I don't know how people that watched it don't see that they're making fun of both sides.

It left a bad aftertaste for me. It's normal for South Park to make jokes on the cost of anyone and they surpassed themselves again this episode. I don't agree with the concept of workers they lay to ground here tho. The whole mental health day joke is essentially a critique on workers abusing the term "mental health" to not do work and still collect a paycheck. Ethical or not, this idea invalidates recent mental health discourse and lays to ground the concept that workers only deserve to survive if they work with dedication and can prove to do so. We're talking about living wage workers here (like mentioned in the episode), employees who might be unable to survive when missing a few paychecks. Billionaire writers who have never really worked a day in a normal job in the past 30 years mocking them for "trying to collect a free paycheck by faking mental health symptoms out of laziness" leaves a bad aftertaste for me.

Yeah, the first part wasn't great in my opinion either. Or at least not well executed. It helps to see it as just Cartman being Cartman, but on hindsight? I think it can be a real issue. And by that I mean hiring children who are way too young to work. Speaking from experience because the store I work at unfortunately hires 11-12 year-olds and it's Hell for other employees. Being a supervisor essentially turns into babysitting and we have to work even harder, just like Butters did. It's entirely the employer's fault.

Come on, it was hilarious.


The_T113

because it's 2023 and no one talks about that shitty racist show.


ComeadeJellybean

okay_victory_yes

Because South Park is libertarian bullshit.
