I'll say "Kenny Dies" is a relevant episode for me. I've had a friend that had medical issues that bad enough to actually kill her shortly before I started high school (note: Childhood Bone Cancer sucks). This is most true from Stan's perspective. I didn't know how to react when she got the original diagnosis, and most kids that knew her before got really weirded out by things.

Nowadays, the treatment of Amazon employees has gotten better, now I'm not sure how accurate the South Park fulfillment center is compared to other centers, but at the one I work at something like packing the shipments is done completely by hand so I would be very concerned if someone packed another person into a box like that and would probably see them get put in jail for manslaughter

Honorable Mentions: *The Dark Side Of Disney -To fans of Disney and their properties, Mickey Mouse was a legend. But to the people behind the scenes in the world of South Park, he was horrible. Here, Mickey is depicted as a greedy, violent, selfish, uncaring, power-hungry tyrant who creates and condones a hostile work environment and will resort to any lengths to get what he wants. He's abused and assaulted his own employees and stars, cursed out religious groups and even his own audience on live tv at a televised Jonas Brothers concert, went on a rampage as a giant, and was even partially responsible for the COVID-19 Pandemic. It's sad to say that looking at Disney today, it sadly now has more in common with South Park's version of Mickey Mouse than the one Walt Disney himself had envisioned for the company.

I will never not love that when that South Park N episode came out a bunch of news organizations tried to do these gotcha interviews with people on the street and from civil rights organizations and most were like "No this was handled really well actually, we have no problems with it, we love it."

2004 was not only a hellacious year for Stan Marsh, but for Leon Kennedy as well. On Resident Evil 4, Leon goes to rural Spain on a rescue mission to find the U.S. President’s daughter, Ashley Graham, and he went through a lot of similar stuff like Stan did. For starters, he lost his brown jacket and got tied up, which coincided with Stan losing his brown coat and getting tied up as well.

Almost nobody will acknowledge that Trayvon was in the midst of beating the living tar out of Zimmerman. Most stand your ground states don't let you use the defense if you instigate the attack. The prosecutor was trying to argue that Zimmerman goaded Trayvon into attacking him

I know it's kind of hard to summarize this but I really liked the episodes where Cartman sends himself into the future in order to get the latest game console before it comes out and finds that the world has gotten rid of religion...they say they did that because they thought religion was the cause of all the wars in the world (knowing Cartman, he probably said something about it), so they thought it would bring on a more peaceful society. Everyone's an atheist, and there are a few political parties centered around that...someone from one party caught offence at one of the others and they all went to war. The "us vs. them" dichotomy was very clear here. If someone has it in them to fight, they're going to find a reason to fight. It doesn't matter what the labels are, the tendency is the same. But then, I've done a good bit of independent study on religion so that's probably why I noticed it.

I love South Park. It’s my favorite show of this kind of genre. Most of the shows, tho making fun of everyone, are usually more Republican aligned, but South Park is super balanced between both parties and it shows just in the four main characters. Cartman-far right, Kenny-casual right, Stan-casual left, Kyle-far left. The balance of beliefs is just awesome

Its funny how Butters has the bi-curious episode and his Dad ends up accepting it. Then a bunch of time later finds his father in a gay love brothel lmao.

just for the record, George Zimmerman never claimed the "stand your gourd law" nor was that why he got off. he claimed selfdefense. yes, you claimed that he started a conflict but when he started to lose the fight he started it was then ok to shoot a man and a jury thought that made sense. So remember that, you want to legally kill someone, start a fight, let them start to win, then you're allowed to shoot him.

21:33 Jimmy's story in that episode was actually a parody of "A Body to Die For." An after school special about the dangers of steroids that stared a young Ben Affleck.

Butters rules. "All right, guys, I'll take one for the team."

This episode has a major screwup in it. The #1 pick talks about "Token" when his name is Tolkien. Which brings me to my other upset: #1 should be the episode where Stan discovers "Token"'s name is Tolkien.

I think Ghostbusters is a great example of the difference between diversity and pandering. the 2016 movie ignored the previous installments for a fresh start with the main difference being women instead of men. And it was terrible. Then Afterlife came out also included women, as well as teenagers, but continued the story of the originals and paid respect to it rather than trying to replace it. And it was good.

"With Apologies to Jesse Jackson" also has the funniest case of nontroversy of all time.

That person's name was L. Brent Bozell III, the founder of the conservative activism group Parents Television Council... and also, a white guy. He made comparisons with the time radio host Don Imus got in trouble for masking racial remarks in his show and went as far as to criiticise the founders of Abolish the N Word for their reaction to it. Ahem; a whit guy... told black people... how they should feel... about a word that was used to insult them. The irony here is delicious Now...
