Turning Gerald into a troll is a brilliant move as it adds some serious nuance to the conversation of the type of person that would become an internet troll. When "South Park" looks at the world of online trolls, the season shines the brightest. The special concludes in a tearful speech from Stan, reminiscent of the, "You know, I've learned something today" speeches that ended many classic "South Park" episodes. As many are struggling, Randy is also thriving since his Tegridy Farms is doing better than ever - until he discovers that he is the very reason the pandemic started, partially thanks to the influence of Mickey Mouse. The special is a fascinating look at how kids have been affected by the pandemic and isolation while kids like Cartman thrive, others, like Butters, have experienced a far greater impact on their growing brains. He even walks around his house with a six-foot stick, in order to keep his own mother away from him. "The Pandemic Special" opens with a fantastic Cartman song, "I Love You, Social Distancing," all about how he's never been happier to be social distancing since it's allowed him to be lazier than ever before. We’re all addicted to something.Season 24 is the least traditional season of "South Park" as it's comprised of two hour-long specials made during the COVID pandemic. The secondary story has Cartman entering a black market to manage his fried chicken addiction. The images are among the very best visual jokes the series has had to offer. This isn’t an issue until they grow so large he has trouble getting them through the door of the dispensary. The downside (aside from, you know, testicular cancer): His testicles continue to grow to the point where he eventually uses them as a bouncy ball to get around town. This gives him testicular cancer and gets him his needed script. When told this is not the case he tries to give himself cancer, eventually putting his testicles in a microwave (no clue how he shut the door or got the microwave to work with the door open, but it is a cartoon after all). Allegedly inspired by a real-life Los Angeles dispensary that set up shop in a closed KFC, it follows Randy, Stan’s dad, as he tries to secure a prescription for medical cannabis. The episode where “South Park” squarely takes on the issue of legal cannabis is not only spot-on, but one of the funniest of the series. Season 14, Episode 3 Original air date: March 31, 2010 It appears those items – including an actual Towlie towel – are no longer for sale.Ĭartman, for a change actually serving as the voice of the audience, comments toward the end of the episode “You’re the worst character ever, Towelie,” to which he (it?) meekly replies “I know.” Image courtesy of South Park Studios Medicinal Fried Chicken The episode also featured a fake ad for Towlie merchandise, though the show later sold actual merch thorough its website. Please don’t cite this as proof of cannabis as a gateway drug, especially if you happen to be Attorney General of the United States). Though Towlie’s drug of choice is cannabis he eventually slides into crack and meth use in subsequent episodes (Note: this is a cartoon. One that involves the boys, the military, a secret government plot (of course), and eventually aliens trying to take over the world (even more of course). The series’ only true stoner, an anthropomorphic towel with the catchphrases “Wanna get high?,” “I have no idea what’s going on,” and especially “Don’t forget to bring a towel.” While he would appear infrequently in subsequent episodes (including an intervention in 2010) this is an origin story. Season 5, Episode 8 Original air date: Aug.
