To his credit, Ortega did an excellent job on the Michael Jackson film after his death.

High-energy show; expected nothing less from a hugely talented performer and director. Two genuinely funny episodes to start Season 42, (albeit perhaps relying a bit too much on pre-taped segments) and this election season is gold for the writers; Trump's shit basically writes itself.

One of the few shows on TV where you just can't wait for the next week; always twists and turns in post-apocalyptic Malibu. I knew Pat wouldn't be done for—then again, maybe wolves in the area tore his carcass to shreds.

Well put, Whistler, and I am kicking myself for forgetting about Fred's "Bunting" sketch until you brought it up. Pure gold.

This show would be a hell of a lot funnier if it delved more into horror/surreal like it did with the Librarian sketch and last season's Larry David Super Bowl party clip. That said, decent episode, although you can noticeably tell that Killam and Jay P. were gone, and where the hell was Vanessa Bayer?

Yeah, to my knowledge (it's been six years since that episode aired and I've seen it), Cartman is having a discussion with some weird thing believing his mother was indeed a hermaphrodite and the thing says "You really believe that garbage"? Scott Tenorman's father was Cartman's as well—that is, until the infamous…

Nah, that theory was thrown out in the 200-201 episodes. (that have yet to be reaired thanks to that Mohammedan wackjob.)

Didn't the boys stumble upon his mother in the German scheisse films? Continuity errors aside, his ignorance is astounding, given that as a nine-year-boy, he has already flirted with immense wealth and power, is a proven murderer, and nearly carried out a full-scale genocide against the Jews.

This has bugged me quite a bit; didn't the boys already figure out in "Fun with Veal" that you become a big pussy once you stop eating meat?

I'm certainly no fan of the Donald, but this site does have a leftist slant. Just read the review of his hosting SNL last fall. (although to their credit, it WAS a bad episode). He was f-ed either way.

Was almost expecting Randy to take a trip "down that rod" or to the K-13 after the trip to the Member Berry patch.

Look a little deeper—no pun intended.

Maybe it's just me, but this episode is as good as Kristen Schaal has ever looked on the show, especially given the post-apocalyptic circumstances, even if she's still got that weird upper-lip-disappearing-into-the-teeth thing.

You've made a huge mistake.

1999 was a different time. That jam comes on the radio every now and then—I always leave it on.

Enjoyed the Len reference; I'm a rock and heavy metal guy for the most part, (loved seeing Boston, even with Delp being dead for nine years) but "Steal My Sunshine" is a nice jam, even if it's entirely dependent on the Andrea True Connection song it sampled.

You and I both; I deleted my Facebook account years ago. (was forced to have one in college for journalism classes I took; also had to create a Twitter profile.) Both are completely pointless and a huge time suck, but Twitter is slightly more useful. People who want to contact me, they have my phone number or e-mail.

Felt a little bad that Mackey muttered to himself that Scott Malkinson quit Twitter; he's always stood out as one of the more—barely—competent faculty at South Park Elementary.

Yeah, in the film "Muriel's Wedding," which came out in '94, there is a sign behind Muriel at the video store that has a pink triangle with the words "Safe Space" overlapping it. But I personally didn't hear of the term until that SP episode in 2014.

Agreed. If anything, it nailed that ridiculous component of Generation Snowflake.
