It’s kind of like Friends. It seemed like harmless fun when I was a kid, but now that I’m older all I see is a group of narcissists with crippling caffeine addictions. When I was younger Cartman was funny, but now all I see is a failed parent and the entitled monster she created. Probably my favorite episode of South Park these days is the one where Cartman’s mom hires all the TV nannies and Cartman breaks them. Until the Dog Whisperer gets there. That and the episode when Wendy beats the sh!t out of him.

To be honest, I’ve never really watched South Park that much.
I have caught a few episodes when it aired in syndication.
It’s not my kind of humor and that’s okay.

I think probably for me some of my fave episodes came when they actually killed Kenny off for a season and Butters became part of the main group.
The episodes that centred on him and Eric during that period were some of the best for me.
Watching Eric manipulate poor sweet innocent naive Butters only to have it blow back in his face at the end of each episode was funny.
To me he is not a Handsome Jack type villain that you kind of love even though hes a dick.
He’s much more of a Joffery who you can relish every little thing that go’s wrong for them without a single iota of guilt.

I’m not sure who Joffrey is, but I trust that you are accurate. Butters is the best character on that show. He should be the Vault Hunter, his action skill could be becoming Professir Chaos, and summoning General Disarray and Lemmiwinks. The Butters episodes are all gold. When the kids are playing Mexican border crossing and he becomes a folk hero in Mexico, when his mom tries to kill him, when he becomes the pimp with the best benefits package, all art on the same level as Citizen Kane, Fried Green Tomatoes, or Debbie Does Dallas. Real quality performances there.

I must admit it surprised me coming from Paul, who seems to have absorbed an endless amount of obscure film and literature had somehow escaped the pop culture sensation known as Game of Thrones.
It was exactly like that only the south park episode did not forget how it started by the end of the episode. Unlike GoT post season 7 when they got amnesia and forgot every plot device they built up to that point

Yeah, this extends to so many other things. I’ve never seen any Godfather film, only seen the beginning and ending of Scarface, GoT, the Sopranos, the Wire, or all of the Potter films (1,2,3, and the first half of the final book). In fact, if you name something that was popular there’s a fair chance I haven’t seen it. After a certain amount of “you have got to watch…” I get to a point where the last thing I want to do is watch it. (Or read it. That’s what my mom did to me with the Harry Potter books.)

I’m the same way with music to a point.
I have never heard any songs by Halsey, Billie Ellish, BTS or any other popular artist from the last few years.
(Except for BLACKPINK and Fifth Harmony.)

Paulo hunts for his movies using the word “exploitation” as the key word search.

ooo I would love to erase the wire and rewatch that fresh for the first time again.
I read all the Potter books and enjoyed them much more than the films.
I also never got round to the sopranos (even though I love gangster stuff) I keep meaning to watch it, just never get round to it.

Damn I just thought of who I want as a cartoon character now, well sort of.
I want the full cast of Dungeons and Dragon’s the cartoon including Uni as Butt stallion.
I have not seen that since I was a kid, and it would be fun to see how the classic RPG arc types would fit into the BL universe with suitably comic characters.

I think the cast of Equestria Girls would make great Vault Hunters.

I remember when Jetix used to air it back in the day.
Among other things, Jefe. Let’s just say that if someone is monitoring my search terms they’ve probably several crises by now. Existential, identity, psychotic break. You can only see “funny necrophilia memes” (in case you are wondering, there aren’t any. I keep checking in the hopes that some pioneer will come along, alas, it seems it is not meant to be.) so many times before it gets to be too much.

I think there were only maybe 2 seasons or so of it Jefe, but its one of the few cartoons that if I missed an episode as a kid I was genuinely pissed. No catch up tv in those days lol.
