But don't we already know those strategies? Trevor Noah isn't the first person to have one of these conversations.

It's a great interview on his part but I honest am not sure what it's helping. He seems to be genuinely listening to her and asking her serious questions and she's not listening to him at all, not taking his questions seriously…not only does she not take responsibility for her views she seems barely connected to them.…

The movie "Pride." I don't know why it wasn't a bigger hit, but it's a true story of people really being excellent. And the two groups, you think, are going to have to be opposed—a bunch of Gay & Lesbian activists and a bunch of Welsh miners in 1984.

Also Cartman seems to not see that he can find particular women not funny without finding all women not funny. Like there was nothing sexist about Kyle not saying Heidi was funny after he said (honestly) that he thought she'd been smart.

He said he just went up to people and grabbed them or kissed them—not that women came up to him and asked him to kiss them. He's suggesting he may do the same thing to this woman he's about to meet. Whether or not the woman is going to be happy about it is not known when he does it—they might or might not enjoy it.…

Also he tends to change his opinions to mirror the crowds cheering for him. If they demand violence he'll promise violence.

Not so much reminding him as telling him since, as Kyle pointed out, she's never said anything funny in his presence. Cartman's doing exactly what the girls did in confusing a general truth (that girls can be funny) with an opinion about an individual (Heidi has never personally made Kyle laugh).

I think Pauline Kael hated it at the time.

"They let you do it" doesn't mean he's talking about groupies, it means he gets away with it.

Trump would totally do that.

I don't know if he's consciously thinking of it that way, but that's how the conversation plays out.

No, I think he does really like Heidi and is possibly having a better time off social media. Did I imply otherwise?

Okay, these are the two scenes I'm seeing. In the first scene, Kyle is just shocked by Cartman having a girlfriend and holding a girl's hand. But he does not just leave him on his emotional holiday or express happiness for him.

If you don't read anything obnoxious about the couple that can't stop complimenting each other and don't hear anything condescending in Cartman's tone of voice (like Kyle does) all I can say is…it's hard to explain it if it doesn't come through by itself? It's actually a pretty familiar comic stereotype.

Well, technically if we're looking for the first show that wasn't it, because the girls were also reacting to an attack from somewhere else, one that the boys didn't care about because it didn't effect them. So their splintering wasn't particularly different from the boys. Both sides are even distorting what's going…

All the characters are interacting with each other. There's scenes throughout the ep of people talking in person. Cartman and Heidi aren't insufferable because they're not on the internet, they're insufferable because Cartman, in some scenes, is making a point of saying how superior his life is now that he's "out of…

It is sort of the natural outcome of having a zero-tolerance policy on so many issues without realizing that sometimes those issues are going to be in conflict with each other. As opposed to looking at situations individually and really trying to understands the many nuances of what are going on.

I thought the joke that Cartman being decent is also Cartman being a douche. I mean, him and his girlfriend aren't doing anything wrong, but they're insufferable.

I'll probably regret jumping in on this but I think the "dumb sitcom dad," while definitely an annoying stereotype, is a bad example of insulting stereotypes since it's a men-making-fun-of-themselves stereotype, not an anti-man takedown. Those shows exist in a very comfortable traditional gender roles universe, even…

37, yes. But he's only balding on Mad Men.
