    I just finished the full season and I really like the show. It's a little rough, but I'm a fan of Bill Burr so I'm already more invested than most in the characters. I think one aspect of the show is that, as Burr is basing it on his life and family, it is very well planned out and the cast have a great idea of the

    He looks like he is incredibly baked in that screencap…

    There aren't words to express how astoundingly well his films have aged. A true master.

    Wow. At the time I thought it was just because he was the top PC guy in the house, but in retrospect, after seeing him with Leslie in the ad, that is probably spot on. Good call!

    I loved Jimmy's response to being called "special". "I prefer handicapped." It reminds me of some really cool people that I know with disabilities. They hate people pandering to them.

    I was really liking this episode at the beginning. Ruxin faking Sophia's death to win at fantasy football is perfectly in-line with his character and would have been a great final Ruxin-centric episode as they wind down the series.

    Solid list. I was a huge EU fan when I was younger, but I care for it less now that I'm older because most of it is terrible.

    Yeah. While much of the EU is terrible, I loved the bits that fleshed out the Empire. Pellaeon is perhaps the best example of how we saw that many people wouldn't give a crap about the Force and Jedi/Sith conflicts. What was important was their belief the Empire was a stable government that was superior to the

    "PC is exclusionary and stifles dialogue. It doesn't help people. It just generates outrage on both sides of an issue and divides people further."

    Well, you have fun with your sarcasm and whining about how life isn't fair. I'm sure telling white people that you don't give a shit about their feelings and that they aren't useful if they are alienated by your methods will lead to great success.

    I wasn't intending to say that they are philosophically devoted to being moderate. I merely meant that Trey and Matt are conservative or liberal on the American political spectrum and it allows them to lampoon both sides for their ridiculousness. I find that to be moderate when most television is inherently devoted to

    "Anyone else notice that Taco always dresses like he’s in Canada or Fargo?"
    That makes sense since Jon LaJoie is Canadian and I've always assumed that this show pretty much just lets him do whatever he wants.

    Nick Wanserski. That is beautiful. You are my new spirit critic.

    I disagree that they don't have a set idea. While the general definition of PC may differ, I think South Park's idea of PC has been very consistently represented as people "checking privilege" and standing up for the disenfranchised to feel good about themselves while bullying anyone who disagrees with their views.

    Wow. There is a lot in there. I don't know why you would think I believe black people are making things up. I've been talking about police brutality a fair amount and I'm aware of the statistics. But that doesn't mean an entire race of people live in fear. That's a pretty strong exaggeration.

    Personally, I don't feel uncomfortable. I merely find the greater issue of police brutality important and think that making it a racial issue takes away from the central problem. It isn't that bad cops only target minorities. They target anyone who doesn't have power and minorities frequently lack that power. By

    The example that I gave is actually at a mostly (if not entirely) black office for supplemental education programs. No, racism isn't dead, but it cuts many ways. In this case, my friend is upset that the BLM campaign and the focus on black people are ignoring other people in these neighborhoods. In this case it is the

    Some people would take you aggressively saying "there are red apples" as an implication that they believed only green apples existed.

    Has Black Lives Matter really brought attention to issues? I don't think I know anyone who was unaware that minorities are more likely to be targeted by the police before the campaign. I'm not very close to the issue, but as I said, my friend who is finds it very exclusionary and dislikes the implications that

    "South Park isn’t against PC culture as a whole. It’s against fake PC culture, those individuals who use political correctness as a means of personal gain or personal validation."
