Am I misremembering this, or was the 2012 South Park election episode effectively about JJ Abrams' Star Wars rigging the election?

Gerald's muffled reaction to Dildo's backstory is great.

I didn't think it was Japan either - Chen really doesn't sound like a Japanese name. I assumed China.

Interesting. Couple this with the "skull shot" of Evan Peters and I'm wondering if the re-enactment is going to be the "real" part of all this.

The Internet seems to be getting all worked up about the possibility that Uber driver Rhett Snow might/MUST be related to Myrtle Snow from Coven.

This is a shame because if the big reveal had been that the documentary was being made by a dead gay 18th century fop and his rouged nipples… well, it would have been a twist.

Oh god… so does that mean that the rest of the show is going to be AHS doing MRN doing AHS?

It's weird that it's possible for interpretations of an accent that no one alive has heard for hundreds of years to sound "real" or "fake".

There are a few weird moments in the re-enactment of this episode (see also: Paulson's Shelby referring to Gooding's Matt as "Ben" in one scene for some reason) that makes me wonder if the re-enactment is supposed to be real in some way. I don't know, it quite possibly won't add up to anything, but it's a lot of…

Yeah, I think Angela and Adina elevate Flora above the usual "ermagherd, cherld abderction" level by acting the shit out of their commitment to her.

Terry feels like a whore.

"You look like a French wizard."

"The absurdities already exist, like Trump bragging about the size of his genitals on a debate stage, or the fact that black people are being shot in open carry states for having a book in their hands. Those are the absurd things that are happening and it's almost like South Park's idea of satirizing those things is…

He did say he wanted to get to know his dad, tbf.

I suppose this is a problem for the Kindle generation, just like the compulsion to buy pretty gatefold vinyl albums just so you can hang them on the wall while you listen to the exact same audio they contain on iTunes where it takes up 1/∞th of the space.

Donald Trump being president is the laziest joke in every 1990s/2000s sci-fi comedy.

Unrelated to the book, the moment of ur-Trump for me was when, after talking up how much he'd sacrificed for America or some shit at one point, a couldn't-be-more-forgiving interview (by his son? Am I remembering that right?) involved him being asked what he thinks his biggest sacrifices have been, and after fumbling…

To quote an underrated animated show: "You don't actually have to read it as long as you buy it, it's an implied covenant."

Soooo, someone pointed out that Shelby calls Matt "Ben" while they're in the back of the pick-up (right after the hobbling), and I checked and yes, she does.

Huh, now you mention it: yeah, she did.
