Well, I guess South Park is back

It never went away.
The beauty of South Park is that it has an absolutely endless supply of material. It basically writes itself.

Sorry to be a downer but as a yank...
...it was a bit low-brow IMHO and lacked the actionable message that Kyle often brought in the end. It just depicted more unsettled chaos and came off as a parody of South Park itself.
It's harder to find monkey poop flinging like this funny as the very real and wide-spread consequences of our Christo-fascist administration, greedy corps, and tech-bros playing Caesar, becomes more dire and affects regular people in more horrific ways. Even the Daily Show reboot doesn't hit the same.
We should also feel bad that Satan hasn't fostered the self-confidence to find his way out of abusive relationships.

I watch(ed the whole) cartoon online. If it seems lowbrow it's because it's showing America a mirror.
I liked it a lot. Sadam is back! Loads of nice little touches of continuity and some fun theological stuff. Mr. Broflovski heralding the coming of Superman Christ. Kenny complaining he can't understand wtf Jesus is saying. Cartman unable to cope with a world run by Cartmans. PC Principle defeated. Jesus, having been sued, warning that the president can do anything he wants. This is peak South Park!

Personally I liked the cheapness of the tiny tiny willy.
Looked like a little finger with an elastic band wrapped around it. Because it was.

It was ultimately defeatist when people are looking for hope and drive to fight the current administration.
Trey and Matt are billionaires so they can do more than draw Trump with a tiny dick. That doesn't change minds. They can afford lawyers and lobbyists to actually change things.
It's also not a mirror of all Americans. I never thought all Brits were idiots when they passed Brexit because I'm not an yokel xenophobe.

Sorry what, they're looking for hope and drive to fight from a satirical cartoon?
They must be hopelessly stupid then.
Matt and Trey should stop doing the successful thing that has just earned them billions of dollars and start a lobbying group instead? Um, okay.
(The United States of) America is a country. Americans are people. I hope that clears that up.
I'm not a xenophobe either, and like you I don't get a nation confused with a nationality, but unlike you I don't pretend to do that to try to win an argument on the internet.

I'm just stating my opinion. You're the one who replied to my thoughts and viewed a difference of opinion as an arguement.
And my opinion is that SP following the same decades old formula isn't hacking it in this case. Their original formula was actually more of a humorous but thought-provoking social commentary. The Trump episode was just shit-flinging. The net is already drowning in that content as anyone can make AI pics and vids... so they need to do better than that. They certainly have the money and comedic resources to do and say a lot more.
