Because somehow we don't have a thread.
Looking forward to the postponed Charlie Kirk episode, though I'm going to crack up more if it turns out to be a Terrence & Phillip troll episode.

That's kind of a myth about SP. In the past they've definitely satirized elements of the leftist/woke culture or whatever, but they absolutely cowered the last 10 years or so. If they were all about laughs at anyone's expense, Biden/Harris was literally a gift from the comedy gods, but they turned a blind eye because they knew the limits. This whole "they take jabs at each side" thing hasn't been true for many years.

Exactly. A little satire hiatus when our country has a literal alzheimers patient at the helm, with a lady who cant string two coherent thoughts together as VP. If they had balls those could have been their best seasons ever.

Well, my point was that saying they satirize both sides just isn't accurate. I think some of their recent stuff is funny and clever, but they are Dem establishment guys. They'd have been run off a long time ago if they weren't.

They never put out a full season during the Biden/Harris years. Like 3 specials a year at best

So MY worldview is narrow but your middle of the road, equal-opportunity satirists took a little break while our country was going through a hilariously woke ****storm after electing a corrupt dementia patient with a coke addict son? Seems kind of like SP is siloed.

They are typically equal opportunity insulters. But apparently their attorney (who they have been with from the beginning) is also very tight with the Bidens and Hunter in particular. Probably explains why they never went after Joe and Hunter.

You think the South Park guys didn't go after Biden because of their attorney? These are the guys who blasted their friend and turned his character into a pedophile because they went after his religion.

Considering the plentiful opportunities Joe and Hunter Biden offered over the last 4 years, I think it's pretty plausible. Admittedly, I have no idea but why do you think they avoided Hunter. That dude was born to be a South Park character.

It's the same thing that happened to Always Sunny. They went from comedians willing and able to joke about everything funny and ridiculous around them to being drawn in by the industry establishment and season by season their show morphed into exactly what you'd expect it would need to be to stay in the good graces of decision makers. Earlier episodes of Always Sunny and SP (the ones that havent been disappeared for making people uncomfy) are like a time capsule of what it was like when comedy didn't have to be Dem propaganda.
