South Park is going the way of the Simpsons

>>212986397 (OP)
It has been since 2017, maybe earlier I don’t know.

>>212986397 (OP)
>$1.5 billy for the least funny South Park episodes they will ever make

You've been pushing that narrative for years now. People are still watching, and paramount just paid them 1.5 billion for 50 episodes.

>southpark cost 30million an episode

>>212986497
it's mind boggling to me trey thinks the early episodes are the worst, ie the ones he wasn't treating the show as his political soapbox and the episodes were all nice and neatly self contained, this overarching season long plot shit is terrible

>>212986397 (OP)
Yea. Once your cartoon gets big enough you can ride it out on merchandising indefinitely. Its more of an ad to buy t-shirts and shit at this point.

Honestly who the fuck is even watching South Park in 2025? I literally know a single person who watches it and even she's just like very apologetic about it. I never even hear people talking about South Park ever.

>>212986397 (OP)
cautiously optimistic 10 episodes a year is likely fast enough so these hacks cant think up dumbass season long current thing narratives and instead have to make self containt episodes of the kids doing insane kid shit again, could be a return to form.

South Park was always terrible. It only became popular because of the cultural taboo. Once you get past the novelty, it's just a series of obnoxious pop culture references and sex jokes.

>>212986542
>ie the ones he wasn't treating the show as his political soapbox
The show has always been that, but they didn't take themselves so seriously.

>>212986397 (OP)
Drawn Together will always be the superior adult animated comedy kino

show's been dead for ~14 years. I consider You're Getting Old to be the spiritual end of the show

the season long plots, the bad Trump jokes ( I have no problem with them making fun of Trump but it's literally the same jokes everyone else is making) and then Randy becoming the main character mark that this is entirely a new show

the fact that Matt and Trey have no problem continuing it shows how much of sellouts they are

>>212986397 (OP)
>going

>>212986397 (OP)
How the hell are any of these zombie shows still worth that much?

>>212986599
They are not producing new episodes regularly, so it's not hard watch a new season.
People who liked it in the past can still remember to check them out.
Also, they manage to be less dumb than the McFarlane shows (most of the time).

I forget the show exists. Modern meme culture has made this kind of thing insufferable anyways.

I'm almost forty and this show has been on since I was in elementary school

It's been a long time coming to retire it.

>>212986397 (OP)
South Park is insanely profitable even if maintains barest minium number of views, because animation cost must be extremely low.
For comparison, Sponge Bob episode costs half a million, and Family Guy costs 2 million

>>212986473
2001. This show turned to shit once Bush got elected and they got up their own ass trying to be political messiahs.

>>212986517
>people are still watching
Are you sure about that? Who? I haven't seen a new SP meme in a decade. It's a zombie show you know like the Simpsons. Sure it exists but you don't watch it. Nobody does.

>>212987422
>Also, they manage to be less dumb than the McFarlane shows (most of the time).
That's not a very high bar when the bar is
>Episode where a guy does 2 voices about eat da poopoo
Imagine having Alex Borstein, Patrick Warburton, Mila (Cunny) Kunis but you decide what you need to do is talk to yourself about eating your own shit instead. I'll never understand it.

>>212987667
True, I am just providing one realistic reason for South Park having an audience.

>>212987422
>Less dumb
Depends on your perspective. South Park is about 30 minutes of the same joke repeated as nauseum. They go to great lengths to explain every joke. To me, this only appeals to absolute retards.
>Fish STICKS...fish DICKS. Get it???? You like fish DICKS so you're gay. See, stick kind of sounds like dick, and if you like dick, you're gay. So if you like fish sticks...
While a Family Guy joke may not be understood by the viewer, at least they don't waste more than thirty seconds before moving on to the next thing. Don't get it? Don't worry, it doesn't matter.
Idk I legitimately feel more stupid after watching any given South Park episode than anything made by McFarlane.

>>212986397 (OP)
ten whole episodes a year?

>>212986397 (OP)
Chuds SEETHING in this thread.

>>212986397 (OP)
Gotta pay for the Casa Bonitas acquisition.

>>212986397 (OP)
>$1.5B

lmao

>>212986517
>People are still watching
Are they? I haven't heard anything about a south park episode since the randy-becomes-a-weed-farmer episode

>>212986397 (OP)
It lost its way when they started trying to make it relevant for the news happening that week. It was better when it was just parodying pop culture in general, they had more time to think of things instead of just grabbing random shit from that week and throwing it all together.

>>212986397 (OP)
it looks like a funny season we'll see how it is

>>212986397 (OP)
Younger millennials based their entire personality and political sensibilities on South Park. I wish it would die.

>>212986397 (OP)
Last time it had 10 episodes was 2019 and had been like that since 2013. Even at the highest it was 18. They've never made a full seasons worth of episodes. Matt and Trey have other side projects they've been working on since then so South Park has been put to the side.

Just a scene of one of the girls farting. That's all I need

>>212989076
they always made the episodes in a few days

>1.5 billion to write low effort unfunny trash while the show hasn't been good in near 20 years
what the fuck man. this isn't sustainable at all.

>>212986397 (OP)
>Paramount Global was going to give them $3 Billion for 10 years and Skydance laughed in their faces.
This is still retarded. $1.5 billion for 40 not funny episodes. What a joke.

>>212988514
The KK one was pretty good but they let her off easy.

>>212986397 (OP)
>10 episodes a year
so paramount is freely admitting they intentionally slow-walked the series to defraud warner bros
they should take this deal to court today as an exacerbating circumstance against paramount and ask for a billion

>>212987503
family guy is still hand drawn apparently despite looking like stiff rigged animation.

>>212986397 (OP)
what kind of drugs do they take, now that they're so rich?
https://www.bitchute.com/video/74L19UkAHwBG

They brag about writing the episode in a day or two like it doesn't obviously hurt the quality and cause them to repeat jokes

>>212990244
And all the side projects suck too

The only thing that could redeem South Park is Jesus' return.
That and the girls queefing for a full episode

>>212986599
>>212986627
Comedy Blasphemy,
Only reason The Early 2000s wasn't a Politically Correct Society like the 90s & 2010s were, is because South Park Reached Mainstream more than (That FAKE Wrestling Crap) & (Any other Highschool White Guy/Black Guy as friends Sitcom Shows in the 90s) all together could ever Influence anybody,
I remember watching Timmy Episode from 2000 on HBO Max & Also Trapper keeper Episode on how they Crucified Rosie O'Donnell,
To me South Park is to Comedy & Television to what People thought of Beatles or Unrelentless 80s Nostalgia Stories

>>212986397 (OP)
Wait, does this mean 10 extra episodes for the streaming service or is it just the renegotiation of the whole show on comedy central?

>>212986397 (OP)
Simpsons at least isn't annoying. I could probably put on a recent Simpsons episode and just zone out and fall asleep.

>>212991264
Jesus is returning for the season premiere tomorrow night.

south park is not worth that money what the fuck

>>212987422
I liked it in the past and haven't bothered to check it out since streaming wars

>>212990561
>The KK one was pretty good but they let her off easy.

that shit was terrible i did not understand why people pretended she got "owned" in any way at the end its made out that only cartman is the one who doesnt like her shit aka loud minority

>>212986497
You either die young as the good guy, or live long enough to become the villian

>>212986933
Wild that You're getting old would now be at the series midpoint

>>212986397 (OP)
>>212986535
The difference is that the South Park money goes most to the show's creators who are involved in everything while Simpsons is expensive because of the voice actors.

Is it becoming stale and repetitive? Stale and repetitive stale and repetitive? formerly fresh

>>212992384
matt stone does almost nothing but voice act. trey does 90% of the heavy lifting. even then the show has sucked ass for almost two decades so i don't understand why it's worth this much.

>>212986517
That just tells me that Paramount is desperate for content.

>>212986776
As what’s happened with most successful shows/people, they begin to see themselves as the moral arbiters of society and use their show/platform to preach, when before, their goal was making a funny show with crude and inappropriate humour. The family guy Covid PSA episode comes to mind. Mind boggling bad.

>>212986933
The second South Park game after Stick of Truth sucked because it started referencing shit from the later seasons that I don’t give a shit about.

I’ll agree, I think “You’re Getting Old” is around the point when I bailed. Didn’t they follow that up with a retcon saying that Stan just had Asperger’s or something?

>>212986599
I occasionally watch older episodes, but never anything post 2013/14

>>212987747
The joke was that Kanye is an egotistical retard, and evidently you weren’t bright enough to get the joke either.

>>212992439
Whatever, they are a thing. They said that some people tried to separate them multiple times and Matt knows Trey is the mastermind of everything, he's just an executor.

>>212991517
Which is why I put that

>>212987747
You sound like a 15 year old who just had a cognitive thought for the first time and thinks he's very smart for making a surface level observation

>>212986473
There hasn't been a season with more good episodes than bad ones since S10-S11. PC Principal (S19?) is the point where it became unwatchable.

>>212986933
>Not Without My Anus
>6.2 on IMDB

Truly the ultimate pleb filter episode.

>>212992677
Well, I think it's hypocritical how South Park didn't get dragged for the Karen joke. How fucking lazy are they?!

>>212993024
the karen joke was pretty fucking bad.

It was pretty fun when they introduced the director PC and Strong Woman.

South Park wasn't even funny back in the day. Now it's just a soapbox for Trey Parker to basically look into a camera and say his tepid boomer takes on current issues

>>212987747
Family Guy has more laughs per minute easily. Watch any Family Guy random clip compilation and every single joke is funny. South Park just takes something from irl and makes Cartman do it like buying a nintendo wii or something. The joke is just LOOK IT'S A THING FROM REAL LIFE IN A CARTOON

>>212993210
Why did they make it Randy of all people? Sheila is right there!

>>212986397 (OP)
So normie women will watch it now?

Is South Park really worth billions of dollars? Just let it die

>>212992603
I got the joke. My issue is that it is retold over and over for half an hour. Their repetition makes the jokes less funny to me, but I understand for some people thats exactly why they find it funny.

>>212993721
That's most of South Park. Family Guy is the opposite, with rapid fire jokes that hit or miss

>>212986397 (OP)
I’m shocked they signed such a large deal after the whole fiasco with the first

>>212986542
Early seasons are pure sovl. I think the show did get generally better by the 4-5th season but but that didn't last exceptionally long

>>212986542
they were still trying to be creative and take chances back then, Trey is comfortable with the current predictable format the show settled into

>>212986933
The thing about their Trump, is that they can't decide if all the shit he does is because he's actually Garrison as the president or if it's genuine Donald Trump. So we just get this horrible undeceive mess of a character.
