Well yeah, now that theyre introduced the “variant” concept, anyone can play Loki.

Sounds like he wants his future roles to be a bit more low key.

Did you really think his parents would name their child “Token” Black? Wow, just wow...

Great episode! My wife and I both thought that this is Cartman’s first step toward ending up homeless like we saw in the future episodes.

I really enjoyed this one. It felt more like the South Park of old where you’d take a topic, give it a silly spin and just keep upping that to ridiculous levels. The city people only being able to say certain words was completely dumb but I kept laughing every time as it grew. Cartman’s story was perfectly Cartman and…

I initially thought Stan and Tolkien were playing one of my favorite board games, The Dark Tower (yes I am old) only to discover on these here tubes that there is a new kickstarted version called Return to Dark Tower which is probably what they were actually playing.

Token actually being named “Tolkien” might be the best retcon of all time.

Loved the running gag throughout the episode of Stan increasingly over-correcting his pronunciation of Tolkien’s name. "Hey, Tolllll-keeeeen...?"

I think this one is going on my list of all time favorite episodes quite frankly.

This retcon was the most I’ve laughed at an episode in years. The 4th wall breaks just killed me.

You know its funny, the first time I saw Lord of the Rings Through the Two Towers, I thought Tokens name legitimately was Tolkien.  So I guess the younger me was correct, it just took what, 18 years?

Thank you for that articulate and clear statement. Here is my rebuttal:

No, it doesn’t.

I feel a bit strange about this. Is it cultural appropriation to participate in a mode of speech that has more or less entered the mainstream, an outcome that in my heart of hearts seems like, basically, a Good Thing?

he has used the accent from the country in which i live, and i don’t think it’s funny at all.
but i’ve never understood the whole ‘make fun of people’s accents’ thing.

Well, Awkwafina isnt actively “doing” anything, she is just talking how she has learned to talk over the course of her life. She isnt imitating anything, thats...just how she talks. She is just a new target for people to be angry at.

First Akwafine thought, first time I heard her talk (Crazy Rich Asians) I thought she was doing a Miley Cyrus impersonation so that’s my take on her voice.

Hannibal Buress is arguably the person who publicized the allegations more than anyone else. Dave Chappelle talks about Cosby all the time. Tracy Morgan makes a joke about Cosby being a rapist on 3o Rock... back when he still had a pristine reputation.

possibly the most respected black man in America.

It continues to air on TV One to this day.

One of the tragic byproducts of this asshole finally being taken to task for his behavior is that a whole cast and crew have been robbed of potential royalties from one of the most successful and syndicated sitcoms from the 80s. He should have to compensate them.
