This scene is awesome because it alludes to the point that people in Cartman’s position who cite bullying often use it to instead bully others who may disagree with their position. Finally, Butters is brought in and agrees. She too refuses and is given two weeks of detention. Next, Wendy is brought in and is given the same ultimatum. Kyle refuses, citing the fact that Cartman could easily just get off social media, and is subsequently given two weeks of detention. In response to this heinous body-shaming, PC Principal brings Kyle into the office and orders him to act as a social media liaison for Cartman Kyle will filter out the negative comments and only give Cartman the positive ones on paper. The episode begins with Cartman in PC Principal’s office, crying as he tells everyone’s favorite PC bro about the negative comments he received online after showing off a picture of himself in his underwear.
It is abundantly clear that Matt and Trey are not happy with the current trend of political correctness and that they are poised to fight tooth and nail against it. However, with this season, especially this episode, they are in no way beating around the bush. Not necessarily that they tread lightly around putting people on blast, because they certainly don’t do that, but they usually use metaphors to make a roundabout point about a person or issue. South Park has always been fairly subtle with it’s social criticism. It had a few good moments for sure the comparison to ISIS was well-done and the “Boogers and Cum” song was hilarious, but for the most part the rest of the episode fell flat for me.
I am glad they took such a shady company and its users on, but I just wasn’t feeling it. Perhaps it could be that I just don’t have any experience with Yelp, other than that knowing it sometimes extorts businesses for reviews. I had a fairly busy week and honestly, I didn’t feel as though the episode was that strong anyway. First off, I’ll apologize for not reviewing last week’s episode: You’re Not Yelping.
