![]() ![]() ![]() She said yes to Cartman in the first place, because she was in a bad place for so long. Kyle tries to understand why Heidi is going out with Cartman, and it’s from there we get a lesson. Heidi starts feeling bloated, and Cartman then starts calling her fat behind her back, and Kyle can’t stand this. After becoming vegan, he not only turns back on that, but tricks Heidi into eating KFC by saying that he got food from a restaurant called “Beyond KFC,” an offshoot of the vegan store “Beyond Meat”. He promises Heidi that he’ll become vegan if they get back together. Cartman’s manipulation is cranked to 11 this episode. Heidi has broken up with Cartman again, and Cartman just cries his way back into that relationship, as what always seems to happen. ![]() I just never got why Heidi would go out with someone like Eric, but this episode puts this relationship into a wonderful, new light. While they don’t seem to have a good idea on how to use President Garrison offensiveness to good effect, they’ve been using Cartman’s offensiveness in amazing ways for several years now.Ĭartman and Heidi’s relationship has always been a rocky plot for me. Unless satire really is dead… whoa, that’s a depressing thought! The President is an open target for satire, but they could have done better than this. South Park works great when it uses science fiction or the fantastical to satirize real life situations. This might have worked better with some sort of fantastical element (The Memberberries cameo isn’t enough). It’s like a bad Saturday Night Live sketch that has a kernel of an idea, but doesn’t know how to make it work. The biggest crime of these scenes is that there’s no real plot, nothing to keep you invested with what these characters are going through. While a couple jokes work, most did not, because we already know he’s an incredibly offensive, and a terrible human being. These scenes don’t do anything more than let you know that, “There is a terrible person in office, and look at all the terrible things he does!” There’s a lot of jokes that play off of the fact that the President is an incredibly offensive person, and that he’s like an abusive father, or husband to his family of White House officials. While the sexual assault is implied, it doesn’t make these scenes any less cringe inducing. They all get sexually assaulted again at the end of the episode. The aides find it hard to defend the President and his actions, and Paul Ryan decides to use the information regarding the controversies and the low poll numbers, so that he can get the swing voters to vote against him, and so he doesn’t have to work for him anymore. One of his oaths to office was that he would “fuck everyone to death” after all. So of course, President Garrison rapes them, because that’s what he does. The aides plead with the President to watch what he’s doing, so he doesn’t make things worse. President Garrison’s aides find out that his approval ratings have gone down after doing some controversial things, like excessively mispronouncing a certain African country, among other things (this show really likes to comedically display the worst of humanity). I may as well get the bad out of the way first. I would have almost forgotten all about it if it wasn’t for the fact that I was taking notes throughout the episode. ![]() After a week hiatus, South Park is back! With it, comes a roller-coaster of emotions! This is the most soap opera episode I’ve seen in a while, and that was actually some of the best stuff I’ve seen in this show! Unfortunately, there was the poorly thought out B-plot involving President Garrison that went almost nowhere. ![]()
