Nah, it went pretty light on her. Now, if they start touching on ESG and the likes of Vanguard and BlackRock, and cultural marxism as an ideology and its methods? I'll be more impressed. This just seemed to whitewash Kennedy to some degree, even if she's still portrayed as uncreative and petulant. Cartman is basically a strawman of people concerned with wokeism, or the worst slice of them. The best part was PC Principal pretending it wasn't happening and trying to gaslight Cartman's friends. That part is apt. But I think it's sadly easy to turn this into a strawman about concerns regarding wokeism, when this is an ideology that is very entrenched in large institutions and with a lot of clout behind it, and is not merely reactive in nature.

Personally I think they are crude vulgar and neither clever nor funny. Making fun of stupidity doesn't mean your smart, but that's my opinion and they have made more money at it than I have so take my opinion for what you think it's worth
While Kathleen Kennedy is responsible for the destruction of Star Wars, through TLJ, firing Gina Carano, interference in Book of Boba Fett, and Last Jedi-ing Kenobi in his own series, and also for Indy 5 and Willow flopping, her responsibility only covers Lucasfilm. All of the other flops are the responsibility of Bob Iger since they were started and/or released while he was CEO. So they should have maybe gone harder on Bob Iger too. Funny episode though that says what we've all been thinking and saying for years that Disney execs just don't want to admit.
The problems with Disney go a lot further than Kennedy who, I suspect, was just following orders as a good Employee does. The Buck should stop at the Top of the Board Room, but in the best of current fashions, a good Fall Guy - or Girl - should do the trick in footing the blame. @@amalekedomite
Technically the destruction of Star Wars began as soon as Kennedy bought the franchise back in 2013 and erased every book, comic book and game with original stories in the Star Wars lore that was considered canon.
the only problem I have is I wish they would've taken more shots at Bob Iger THE REAL ARCHITECT of all chaos and destruction at Disney even though he got his fair share of scrutiny but I hope they do a follow-up and cover all of the idiotic things that Iger has done at the company yeah sure it's funny making fun of Kathleen Kennedy but it's Bob Iger who's the real problem
@@lolcat5303 and also total bs to claim cartman could also have been at fault.. how exactly did he write hate mail about shows and movies that werent garbage/before they existed. even if people write negative comments about a movie based on a trailer. theyre doing so because of what the creators decided were the important aspects of the movie and then put in the trailer, or the marketing. it was way too over simplified. they could have gone into companies buying up nerd/geek culture websites and turning them into shill sites, basically corrupting the culture, as well as mainstream sites like imdb/ rotten tomatoes and how they even changed the way their sites work to appease the corporations they are supposed to be providing unbiased information about. and thats even before we go into the total bs of these companies calling anyone who dislikes their garbage must just be "racist". they even support this in the episode when kk says she received racist messages.... rather than the reality. that people disliked something, and then "racist" was used as a way to attack anyone who said anything bad about their products. south park lost its balls.
As a 67 year old and had the pleasure of growing up on a ranch, with a grandfather that took care of "everything " in house, (meaning he had the skills to do quite literally "anything"), and passed that knowledge on to me...... I approve this message.
I'm so glad shows like South Park still exist. An elephant in the room: celebs like Zegler, the Kardashians alongside with these 'insta-fame-vain' people should've never been celebrated in the first place. An over privileged douchebags already famous, being promoted even further by other over privileged companies like Vogue, GQ, Jimmy Fallons of the world etc. 'what's in my designer bag? a brand new iPhone.' That level of vanity is obscene. The same people who, back in the day, considered anyone who was computer savvy or a gamer, or had a Myspace profile to be 'a loser'. Before they started to use these platforms to make money and share their vanity with the world and destroy self-esteem of others. I have a voice acting background and remember fighting preconceived notions that it's not as demanding as regular acting; but the vocal training itself and perfecting the craft may take more time than any acting school. I know all too well how impossible it was to even book an audition - that's why I sound maybe too bitter and biased. PS. You almost saw me as Leon in those new Resident Evil games :)
The was an incredibly soft touch for South Park, Paramount must have come down HARD on them. And given that ESG now has it's hooks into Paramount, this is about as hard as they can go. It's really pathetic.
Because it bullies you for actually giving a damn about real world problems and trying to do some thing about them, especially when those real world problems affect you directly.
@@Nmdixon-cu7vm For how long? not like robotics isn't advancing to give the AIs 'hands' to do things with. Truth is this technology's capabilities are exaggerated atm. Certainly hasn't done much to replace programmers by and large nor is it in a position as it is basically just copy/pasting what it finds on google to produce code. Guess what? Programmers have been doing this for ages. It's not the hard part.

This is a Bud Light moment. Dissent was always dismissed as being a few rogue incels (as if maths worked that way), but they can't say that any more. It's out in the open, and the cries of ism and phobe are too tired to work as excuses. The market doesn't like being lectured to, social engineering doesn't work as entertainment, and we know they know we know.
South barf actually showed a graphic depiction of emasculation on television. No wonder a professional degenerate like Norman Lear watches this show while staging tacky and embarrassing live productions of his old shows casting buckbreakers like Gabrielle Union and stunt-casting non-dead but still degenerate yt *F(r)iends* cast members in roles they weren’t good enough for when they were the right age to play them.
If he has t watched it in 15 years, how has he managed to tune into certain episodes every once in a while..? Feels like he’s afraid to just admit that tuning in once in a while means you have watched it. Because SP pokes fun at both sides, no one in the culture war can admit they partake in anything that may have maligned them or their cause at any point in recent history.
So I take it this might be your first time seeing PC Principle. He is a funny character that pokes fun at the woke ideas people seem to have, with a mix of the "Dude Bro" personality. With him living with other PC Bros like a frat house, going around collecting consent forms from his bros after they banged women the next day. Beating up the shit out of Eric (who was trying to blackmail PC Principle) after Eric used the word "spokesman" instead of "spokesperson" saying that Eric was trying to exclude women, and saying that Eric was reenforcing negative stereotypes of Italians when Eric used the word "capiche". Later PC Principle got pissed off at the school newspaper which used words that he found insulting to disabled people, wanting to break that person's legs. Seconds after he finds out the writer for the school paper is Jimmy, a disabled boy whose legs don't work, with Stan going "So you're going to break his legs PC Principle?". With woke ideas coming and going you can always count that South Park will have PC Principle say something about it even in the smallest way.
I hate how they depict him as a bully when he was eminently justified in delivering glorious accountability, sweet, sweet accountability to that prejudiced lardass Cartman for his years of verbal terrorism against protected classes. I hate it for the same reason I hate the way they depict Jewish women as being bellicose warmongers when they are *FREEDOM FIGHTERS.* Sheila B (making Jewish names hard to spell and pronounce is an antisemitic stereotype) was right about those Bieber-enabling hockey jockeys, and they make her look subhuman for valiantly waging war against an illegal occupation of indigenous land for promoting degeneracy.
As someone who has been a carpenter for 20 years I'd say they messed up on that plot point. Im in california and wages have not gone up in 20 years at all. Next year when fast food goes to 20 an hour you literally are better off making tacos at taco bell than working in the trades. Outside any union construction is a dying trade that will be entirely occupied by illegal immigrants flooding the border.
The "panderstone" is also a satirical reference to the plot of Wonder Woman 1984, which is where most fans/critics started really voicing their concerns about all of the Leftist BS and propaganda coming out of Disney and the rest of Hollywood.
Mockery is a tool even the Old Testament prophet Elijah used against the prophets of Baal - "And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” 1 Kings.18:27 ESV
Oh, it is dead on. I've been trying to find someone to do a job for months. They don't call back or when they do, they never show up. The one guy who did come out gave me a quote about 10 times the price I paid for the exact same work about 8 years ago.
The episode was alright. Had its funny parts, and the stuff about colleges, AI and the plumbers made me laugh. Thought it was spot on with characters like PC Principal pretending 'Cartman' wasn't changed and trying to gaslight his friends over it. I thought it went quite light on Kennedy herself, though. She's never shown contrition for what she did to SW and the whole blaming it on the fans approach is unprofessional and a lazy cop out, and really woke ideology's spread isn't down to some "haters" vs hollyweird writers feud, but has more to do with institutional capture through cultural marxist ideology (consider who educated a lot of these hollyweird 'writers'), with ESG (and the likes of Vanguard and BlackRock) providing the financial carrot and stick behind it. Cartman is, in this sense, a strawman of why a lot of fans have a problem with the rampant wokeism on display by many large organisations. Maybe they couldn't go further out of legal concerns and whatnot, but I think the focus on the 'hater' fans and Disney writers missed the opportunity to touch on what's really at play here. Like someone else said, the panderstone should've been a black rock... KK is basically the bug woman at the end. People should not forget her victims, like Gina Carano.
exactly, south park has lost its balls. they go soft on things they should go hard on, and they try to go after people who are completely in the right, in some naive attempt to claim that is "going after both sides".
Thank you for remembering Gina Carano, this crap really is not funny it harms real people. The fact it isn't funny doesn't mean it doesn't DESERVE to be laughed at but ultimately no accountability for the woman who does terrible things sounds very Kathleenish to me
it depends on what you mean by woke ideology. I think political correctness is in fact poison but I don't see how trans and gay people wanting to be treated fairly is muh wokeness. My morality updates have stalled since 2013.
@@abbeyprice7413 well it boils down to the ideology behind the "trans and gay" people. a lot of gay and bi people dont want anything to do with "the community". because theyre a bunch of nut jobs who are pretty much in a cult. and its the woke cult. so theres that connections. the people who dont want anything to do with "the community" tend to be the people who have no interest in identity politics. so they are very much separate. the "lgbtqai2s+" gay people whos sexuality is typically the one and only character trait they have are very different from people who are gay and its just one apsect of who they are among many. so then we look at what the "lgbtqai2s+" community want, and they want have more rights than everyone else. I cant force a church to marry me to the two women that i love and who also love each other. and i dont believe i should be able to force them to do that. But i do believe the government shouldn't be allowed to make it illegal and there should be a government recognised equivalent to marriage, much like civil partnerships. Whereas the community wants to force churches to be made to have to give them a religious ceremony. then we get to the whole "trans" thing, and this is where the anti science ideological aspect of what the community does really shines. they took the template of what they did with feminism, then gay rights, and are not applying it to whatever group they can get to join them in some way. even if its people who believe in the teaching of islam that go against everything the community has tried to do before. They make up words to call people who dont give them what they want and appease them every way they want. Thats why its an ideology of "wokeness"< because they believe they have become awakened to some oppression that exists that they have to do something about. but in reality they have found people with psychological problems, who hate their bodies and they have told them lies about "being born in the wrong body", about chemicals and surgeries that are "totally reversible"< despite leaving people castrated for the rest of their life. both chemically and surgically. they drive these people to further internalise their incorrect self hate filled beliefs and make them a part of their identity in the same way they make their sexuality their only characteristic. making it even harder for these people to accept reality and stop hating themselves for the way they are and feeling they need to change to be happy. They dont care about the scientific reality that brain scans have shown there no such thing as a male/female brain for them to have the wrong brain/wrong body. instead they have just infected medical associations and psychological associations that anyone can join if they pay the joining fee, but then also black list and cancel anyone who disagrees with them, and sue anyone who disagrees with them and tries to actually help these people. that, and bunch of other things are why the specific "lgbtqai2s+" community is "woke" nonsense. because its all an ideology that has nothing to do with "being treated fairly". They all have the same rights as everyone else. i cant go to a doctor and tell the doctor they have to make my body whatever i want it to be, an anorexic person cant go to a doctor and demand diet pills and liposuction/lap band surgery and claim they arent "being treated fairly" if the doctor says thats not a valid treatment for their psychological problems.
I think the only reason this episode of south park seemed good was because Southpark has been pretty sub par for the last couple of seasons and TV in generally is just bad. They ruined most of the commentary about woke movies by implying that the reason for them making woke movies is to combat real racism, and even making Cartman cuck to KK and apologise? Just lame. And the AI subplot had the makings of something great but the punches were obviously pulled and it just felt weak. Its very obvious that Matt and Trey spend most of their time trying to prove that they aren't actually right wing which is why they will shoehorn some lame mea culpa in about racism and they have toned down Cartman.
They didn't go far enough....and there were many missed opportunities.....but....it's a start. Also in my opinion if it was not for the You tuber's like yourself and many many others this episode may not have even existed.
I think people who complain about South Park "not going far enough" or whatever just want it to affirm everything they think. Matt and Trey aren't even conservative or anything and I'm sure the networks even make them hold back a little. Plus, I always thought it'd just be lame if South Park came out and got canceled over something kind of mundane... Like "owning the libs." That's such low hanging fruit. I think if South Park is going to seriously risk cancellation, they'll want it to be over a very profound point. I genuinely think they're saving the day they get cancelled for a magnum opus.

The one part they left out was to have PC Principal first deny that Eric had changed at all and try to claim that he was always diverse and point to a few obscure quotes and scenes from earlier episodes to try and make this ridiculous point. That's something that people like him always try in reality, although they usually abandon it pretty quickly since it gets in the way of celebrating the new hack version and labeling the classic one everybody loves as problematic.
matt and trey really let kathleen off the hook here. made her almost sympathetic. now go back and see how they portrayed george lucas and Spielberg over one movie, crystal skull. and their take on miles moraels, hes where all this bullshit started. he wasnt an original character
The only problem I had with this episode is the both Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy are sjw feminist zealots. This took away agency from Kathleen Kennedy and made it look like she was just replaced by crazy version of herself, when in fact it was her and Bob Iger all along with their DIE and executives that caused all this.
When do you give people you're lampooning the benefit of the doubt, and when do you not? Remember, in 'Team America: World Police,' they reveal that Kim Jung-Il was actually being controlled by an alien space bug. So, it wasn't really him doing all the evil. While I think 'Team America' is likely the funniest film of all time, and the best movie about tin-pot dictators ever made, couldn't we also conclude that Trey and Mat "Let the real bad guy off the hook too easily," with that plot twist? (Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore, aren't given any leeway at all in the film. Do Trey and Matt really believe that Kim Jung-Il is less evil than Michael Moore? I think it's more accurate to say that they're personally bothered and offended by Moore, over Kim Jung-Il, which accounts for the discrepancy in how each is portrayed.) ...One of the things that really would make a better world, is if we gave each other the benefit of the doubt, more (if the person gives any room to deserve it). So, we're better off examining most peoples' statements & actions, w/o trying to read minds. While Kathleen Kennedy isn't my favorite individual, do we actually know, as an established certainty, that she despises strong male characters, and wants to grind whites and males into dust? Is there any possibility that her motives aren't as black as Emperor Palpatine? (While I doubt it, I'm no expert, so I'm open to evidence that would support that view.) :)
@@tranya327 I'm glad that episode of South Park was made because it clearly pissed off Disney ,Kathleen Kennedy and Bob iger enough to threaten South Park creators with legal action. Team America World Police was a cheap parody satire made using puppets on purpose. If I were to take your argument as honest you would be saying Stalin, Stalin , Hitler, Mao etc all deserved the benefit of the doubt. Benefit of the doubt is for people that deserve it (when you don't have reason/evidence that they have malice, bad intent. Kathleen Kennedy among others has shown what they think by their actions, repeated actions over time. clearly you're either being dishonest or you wrote this post without any critical thinking.
@@dsadik666 Disney threatening legal action WAS a terrible move; Did they do that to keep from losing a shitload of money, or because they were upset about Iger and KK’s portrayal (or both)? I think we do know, that: - people very often do things for more than one reason (threatening legal action); - public figures (like KK) are often arrogant, thinking that they’re victims, or the only ones who could be right; - news that’s reported about public figures is always or almost always wrong. (specific facts may be correct, but the report drops context, giving a distorted framework for how the facts should be viewed.) We agree that people deserve the benefit of the doubt, when they’ve earned it. You’re convinced that KK’s actions have done tremendous damage to beloved franchises, and to the culture generally. I lean in that same direction; I suspect it’s probably true. You’re convinced that KK has a done a series of bad actions across time, sufficient to remove doubt: She’s a bad actor, with bad intent, and Trey & Matt didn’t portray her harshly enough. We all have areas where we know a lot, and other areas that we know less well. I don’t spend my time researching KK’s personal history, actions and statements. Even if I attempted to learn them, we live in an era in which no big organization can be trusted, let alone those who report news. I also don’t believe stuff merely because it’s reported a lot. I know that Bob Iger and KK are two Disney executives, that they’ve made a number of bad decisions, that they’re likely to be misguided in their view of how woke the company should be, and like other people, find it hard to admit major errors in public, especially when their jobs are on the line. I don’t know much else about them. Would I fire them? Yeah, probably, but I don’t get to decide that. Trey and Matt allowed that the real KK is a flawed human who got in over her head, as opposed to being rotten to the core - so they seem to have a view similar to mine: Not liking what she’s done, skeptical about portraying the inner her as other than misguided.) If we’re wrong, and KK is way over the line, and the evidence totally supports that, they can always do a follow-up. It should also be easy for honest people who know the topic, to enlighten the rest of us. So, in the words of Vinnie Gambini, “Let me see it, show it to me.” And - I'm glad this South Park ep was made too - both because it's entertaining, and because yeah, I too like to know that powerful people can still be mocked - even if they've used 'diversity' and 'combating racist fans' as a shield.
What did you think of the part where the episode talks about the sexist shit Cartman said to Kennedy? The part where they both say that they fed off eachothers anger and basically doubled down on both their beliefs and trolling?
The satire of South Park is complete truth, And if they try to sue them for something that's completely legal They're going to lose a lot more money than they are with their woke garbage movies😂
south park used Cartman as a strawman and went too soft on disney lucasfilm by not even mentioning the ESG, activism and blackrock and vangaurd elements
I mean with the ego of winning in two party system in USA one side isnt gonna admit being made fun of, knee jerk politics and all.. But its obvious, Kennedy + Cartman is 100% making fun of American TANKIES in this case. The regular Cartman is still the same so they got that Terminally Online debate to go with.
@@sirtrancealot I'm just done with lukewarm fence sitting in any capacity. Wokeism is a cult, and its adherents don't try to walk any line, they hate anyone not in the cult, so it's necessary to meet them with equal fervor.
I was watching something about the movie "The Wild Geese" something that would not be made to day because it was filmed in South Africa. Roger Moore commented a saying from one movie maker (I forget his name) "Western Union is for sending a message."
Interesting! I've seen the film - fairly recently actually - yet I wasn't aware of that particular fact. Heh, the more you know, eh? Kind of ironic too, when you consider how the political establishment attempts to totally manipulate the situation in the film itself, not that it does them any good at the end of the day. (^_^)
I was a programmer for a few years. I'm training to be an HVAC technician now. It's purely a coincidence that this is objectively a good thing, but still such fortuitous kismet.
I didn't find it scathing or brutal. I thought it was wishy-washy and confused. There were some good bones but they failed to flesh it out. The end basically gives KK a pass because Cartman was mean to her. His epiphany of "wailing on woke is lame" is actually insulting the youtubers who comment on it - the same ones who are currently exclaiming in delight over the episode. Did anyone notice that?
Because the audience of the TH-camrs who comment on “woke” content are actively being pandered to and most of them are too delusional to understand This is apparent to almost anyone looking in, many of whom also find “woke” content annoying.
If anybody cares, or doubt the claims, during Kathleen Kennedys tenure Disneys stock price has gone from a 189 to about 63. Roughly. Got that from Yahoo finances.
I always try to fix stuff myself before calling a handyman, but sometimes even the internet is no help. After I moved into a new apartment the fridge door just wouldn't stay closed. It would stay closed for a few minutes only to open back up. I looked online but couldn't find any solutions, I even asked Reddit but none of the suggestions were helpful. I literally went to Home Depot and asked the person who worked in the refrigerator section but his suggestions also didn't help. Reddit claimed that I needed new magnets, but that didn't apply since the door used suction to stay closed. The person at Home Depot said the refrigerator might be leaning forward, but that didn't help since the refrigerator was on a flat surface and it wasn't leaning forward. Finally I called a handyman, he took one look in my fridge and said that the shelf wasn't pushed in all the way. I was genuinely shocked because I didn't even know that those shelves could be pulled out. Also no one either on reddit or at Home Depot suggested that it could be the shelves. What made it incredibly hard to diagnose was because the door would genuinely stay closed for a few minutes before opening back up.
something blocking the door would have been my first thing to check. cant remember how many times my dad has put food in the fridge and i've found it with the door open leaking cold out because the food is just jammed in and sticking out too far, or he's put a bottle of something in where it will hit a shelf in the door. then i'd have said take all the shelves and everything out. if it still opens then i'd have said check its not leaning. then i'd have said clean the magnet strip, cant see why it'd ever need to be replaced unless it was torn and barely holding on. magnets dont tend to stop being magnets.
Meanwhile I've seen a video saying how the Panderverse actually 'humiliated' the anti-woke lol, talk about trying to spur the narrative around so hard it's full-blown delusional.
Perfect - I watched it last night and loved just how many areas they targeted in this episode with their flaming arrows of satire- brilliant work. Hopefully the masses will finally start to see through the agenda driven crap and start demanding better from Disney etc. thankfully I still have my DVD library so can rewatch the classics pre-panda verse until normality returns
Oh wow, you’re the first review I’ve seen that actually mention the college/A.I subplot…how Randy believes he’s living in a parallel universe 😂 How they got those two plots together was genius!
They also made a dig at people who shout "woke" at literally everything. Which I thought was a good way of balancing things. It reminded me of the new Fable trailer- the comments are just filled with Critical Drinker fans talking about how it's too diverse and it's for "modern audiences" and *the message* when in reality it just had a female protagonist who wasn't particularly attractive and it had one black man in it. And also the fact that Kathleen Kennedy isn't the antichrist. She's just an out of touch executive who tried to put her beliefs into films where they didn't belong.
Dave.. you need to watch more South Park, they have been on the front line of the culture war for decades. I envy someone that has missed 15 years of content.
I'll just stick to old school films and classics now. I watched Where Eagles Dare again the other night for the umpteenth time and it was a wonderful 150mins.
I'm personally not a huge fan of South Park, some of the gross out humor goes a little to far for me, but I will eternally respect them for seemingly being the only writers in the world that remember the golden rule of comedy; there is no one above being made fun of, everything can and should be satirized.
"Brutal Takedown"?!!? Matt and Trey completely shit the bed in the final 10 minutes when the missed the mark on every single idea they built during the rest of the episode. To let Kennedy off the fucking hook was an abomination. It would have been a better ending if the Kennedy in the Panderverse (the real KK from our universe) would have explained that she didn't make any of the screwed up decisions that destroyed Disney...it was all the Cartman version of her. This would have allowed them to bring her back to her original universe (ours) with the promise that she'll clean up all the woke horseshit her evil counterpart caused. Also, I really expected Sharon to finally say "Fuck You!" to Randy and fix the oven door herself. That would have been a more satisfying ending to the "handyman" thread than for Randy to SOMEHOW...MIRACULOUSLY...go all through the multiverse collecting up all the toothless old white handymen from other universes. They came on strong with great concepts and, in the end, it was a though they got bored with making the episode and just said, "Screw you guys, we're going home!".
The Pander Stone should have been a Black Rock.
The Pander Stone reminded me of the plot device, the wishing stone, from WW84

While Kathleen Kennedy is responsible for the destruction of Star Wars, through TLJ, firing Gina Carano, interference in Book of Boba Fett, and Last Jedi-ing Kenobi in his own series, and also for Indy 5 and Willow flopping, her responsibility only covers Lucasfilm. All of the other flops are the responsibility of Bob Iger since they were started and/or released while he was CEO. So they should have maybe gone harder on Bob Iger too. Funny episode though that says what we've all been thinking and saying for years that Disney execs just don't want to admit.
The actions of Kathleen Kennedy, as an employee of the j Bob Iger, are his responsibility ultimately.
The problems with Disney go a lot further than Kennedy who, I suspect, was just following orders as a good Employee does.
The Buck should stop at the Top of the Board Room, but in the best of current fashions, a good Fall Guy - or Girl - should do the trick in footing the blame.
@@amalekedomite
Right, it would have been even more funny if Iger was the proponent of the panderstone and Kennedy his chief minion doing his bidding :-)
Technically the destruction of Star Wars began as soon as Kennedy bought the franchise back in 2013 and erased every book, comic book and game with original stories in the Star Wars lore that was considered canon.
@@LightStreak5672012
As Eric July would say: “We gotta mock, shame, and ridicule these losers who didn’t come to their positions by way of logic”
the only problem I have is I wish they would've taken more shots at Bob Iger THE REAL ARCHITECT of all chaos and destruction at Disney even though he got his fair share of scrutiny
but I hope they do a follow-up and cover all of the idiotic things that Iger has done at the company yeah sure it's funny making fun of Kathleen Kennedy but it's Bob Iger who's the real problem
shame that in the end they wanted to make her look like a "good" person

@@lolcat5303 and also total bs to claim cartman could also have been at fault.. how exactly did he write hate mail about shows and movies that werent garbage/before they existed.
even if people write negative comments about a movie based on a trailer. theyre doing so because of what the creators decided were the important aspects of the movie and then put in the trailer, or the marketing.
it was way too over simplified. they could have gone into companies buying up nerd/geek culture websites and turning them into shill sites, basically corrupting the culture, as well as mainstream sites like imdb/ rotten tomatoes and how they even changed the way their sites work to appease the corporations they are supposed to be providing unbiased information about.
and thats even before we go into the total bs of these companies calling anyone who dislikes their garbage must just be "racist". they even support this in the episode when kk says she received racist messages.... rather than the reality. that people disliked something, and then "racist" was used as a way to attack anyone who said anything bad about their products.
south park lost its balls.

The BEST part of this was Gina Carrano's scathing posts on X. She took the piss out of Lucasfilm/KK like a warrior on a battlefield. 😀
I'm so glad shows like South Park still exist. An elephant in the room: celebs like Zegler, the Kardashians alongside with these 'insta-fame-vain' people should've never been celebrated in the first place. An over privileged douchebags already famous, being promoted even further by other over privileged companies like Vogue, GQ, Jimmy Fallons of the world etc. 'what's in my designer bag? a brand new iPhone.' That level of vanity is obscene. The same people who, back in the day, considered anyone who was computer savvy or a gamer, or had a Myspace profile to be 'a loser'. Before they started to use these platforms to make money and share their vanity with the world and destroy self-esteem of others.

If you haven't watched South Park in 15 years, it's crazy how much it's evolved and managed to not only stay relevant, but stay top-tier.
It's brilliant. Keeps reinventing itself to stay fresh. Unlike family guy and Simpsons which are Waaaaaay past sell by dates
Unfortunately, they still utter vulgarities and profanities. So out the window they go along with The Simpsons and Family Guy.
@@BayStateObserver You sound like a blast at parties. What's an Amish person doing with internet anyway? Heretic!

Feels like he’s afraid to just admit that tuning in once in a while means you have watched it. Because SP pokes fun at both sides, no one in the culture war can admit they partake in anything that may have maligned them or their cause at any point in recent history.
@@MrWiggsy4I heard that recently the Simpsons managed a comback
So I take it this might be your first time seeing PC Principle. He is a funny character that pokes fun at the woke ideas people seem to have, with a mix of the "Dude Bro" personality. With him living with other PC Bros like a frat house, going around collecting consent forms from his bros after they banged women the next day. Beating up the shit out of Eric (who was trying to blackmail PC Principle) after Eric used the word "spokesman" instead of "spokesperson" saying that Eric was trying to exclude women, and saying that Eric was reenforcing negative stereotypes of Italians when Eric used the word "capiche". Later PC Principle got pissed off at the school newspaper which used words that he found insulting to disabled people, wanting to break that person's legs. Seconds after he finds out the writer for the school paper is Jimmy, a disabled boy whose legs don't work, with Stan going "So you're going to break his legs PC Principle?". With woke ideas coming and going you can always count that South Park will have PC Principle say something about it even in the smallest way.
I hate how they depict him as a bully when he was eminently justified in delivering glorious accountability, sweet, sweet accountability to that prejudiced lardass Cartman for his years of verbal terrorism against protected classes. I hate it for the same reason I hate the way they depict Jewish women as being bellicose warmongers when they are *FREEDOM FIGHTERS.* Sheila B (making Jewish names hard to spell and pronounce is an antisemitic stereotype) was right about those Bieber-enabling hockey jockeys, and they make her look subhuman for valiantly waging war against an illegal occupation of indigenous land for promoting degeneracy.
Eh, it would have been better if it debuted in 2018. Now it just feels like desperation to hop aboard a train.
As someone who has been a carpenter for 20 years I'd say they messed up on that plot point. Im in california and wages have not gone up in 20 years at all. Next year when fast food goes to 20 an hour you literally are better off making tacos at taco bell than working in the trades. Outside any union construction is a dying trade that will be entirely occupied by illegal immigrants flooding the border.

Mockery breaks TOS everywhere, if and when they want it too.. That's why it's not used more.
South Park did an epic special and I loved it.
Dave, Panderstones are the perfect gift for this Holiday Season! Believe me when I tell you that this year, Santa will Not pass Hollywood by.
Thank you! Fantastic and it was great. I hope they all continue to do this. The movies continue to tank and they deserve it.
I haven't been laughing at SP the way I did back in the earlier days. But this one had some genuine LOL moments.
I hope this is a return to form.
The "panderstone" is also a satirical reference to the plot of Wonder Woman 1984, which is where most fans/critics started really voicing their concerns about all of the Leftist BS and propaganda coming out of Disney and the rest of Hollywood.
Mockery is a tool even the Old Testament prophet Elijah used against the prophets of Baal - "And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” 1 Kings.18:27 ESV
The Handyman thing is definitely a thing! Especially in the last few years
Oh, it is dead on. I've been trying to find someone to do a job for months. They don't call back or when they do, they never show up. The one guy who did come out gave me a quote about 10 times the price I paid for the exact same work about 8 years ago.
The episode was alright. Had its funny parts, and the stuff about colleges, AI and the plumbers made me laugh. Thought it was spot on with characters like PC Principal pretending 'Cartman' wasn't changed and trying to gaslight his friends over it.
I thought it went quite light on Kennedy herself, though. She's never shown contrition for what she did to SW and the whole blaming it on the fans approach is unprofessional and a lazy cop out, and really woke ideology's spread isn't down to some "haters" vs hollyweird writers feud, but has more to do with institutional capture through cultural marxist ideology (consider who educated a lot of these hollyweird 'writers'), with ESG (and the likes of Vanguard and BlackRock) providing the financial carrot and stick behind it. Cartman is, in this sense, a strawman of why a lot of fans have a problem with the rampant wokeism on display by many large organisations.
Maybe they couldn't go further out of legal concerns and whatnot, but I think the focus on the 'hater' fans and Disney writers missed the opportunity to touch on what's really at play here.
Like someone else said, the panderstone should've been a black rock...
KK is basically the bug woman at the end. People should not forget her victims, like Gina Carano.
exactly, south park has lost its balls. they go soft on things they should go hard on, and they try to go after people who are completely in the right, in some naive attempt to claim that is "going after both sides".
Thank you for remembering Gina Carano, this crap really is not funny it harms real people. The fact it isn't funny doesn't mean it doesn't DESERVE to be laughed at but ultimately no accountability for the woman who does terrible things sounds very Kathleenish to me
it depends on what you mean by woke ideology. I think political correctness is in fact poison but I don't see how trans and gay people wanting to be treated fairly is muh wokeness. My morality updates have stalled since 2013.
@@abbeyprice7413 well it boils down to the ideology behind the "trans and gay" people.
a lot of gay and bi people dont want anything to do with "the community". because theyre a bunch of nut jobs who are pretty much in a cult. and its the woke cult. so theres that connections. the people who dont want anything to do with "the community" tend to be the people who have no interest in identity politics. so they are very much separate. the "lgbtqai2s+" gay people whos sexuality is typically the one and only character trait they have are very different from people who are gay and its just one apsect of who they are among many.
so then we look at what the "lgbtqai2s+" community want, and they want have more rights than everyone else.
I cant force a church to marry me to the two women that i love and who also love each other. and i dont believe i should be able to force them to do that. But i do believe the government shouldn't be allowed to make it illegal and there should be a government recognised equivalent to marriage, much like civil partnerships. Whereas the community wants to force churches to be made to have to give them a religious ceremony.
then we get to the whole "trans" thing, and this is where the anti science ideological aspect of what the community does really shines.
they took the template of what they did with feminism, then gay rights, and are not applying it to whatever group they can get to join them in some way. even if its people who believe in the teaching of islam that go against everything the community has tried to do before.
They make up words to call people who dont give them what they want and appease them every way they want.
Thats why its an ideology of "wokeness"< because they believe they have become awakened to some oppression that exists that they have to do something about.
but in reality they have found people with psychological problems, who hate their bodies and they have told them lies about "being born in the wrong body", about chemicals and surgeries that are "totally reversible"< despite leaving people castrated for the rest of their life. both chemically and surgically.
they drive these people to further internalise their incorrect self hate filled beliefs and make them a part of their identity in the same way they make their sexuality their only characteristic. making it even harder for these people to accept reality and stop hating themselves for the way they are and feeling they need to change to be happy.
They dont care about the scientific reality that brain scans have shown there no such thing as a male/female brain for them to have the wrong brain/wrong body. instead they have just infected medical associations and psychological associations that anyone can join if they pay the joining fee, but then also black list and cancel anyone who disagrees with them, and sue anyone who disagrees with them and tries to actually help these people.
that, and bunch of other things are why the specific "lgbtqai2s+" community is "woke" nonsense. because its all an ideology that has nothing to do with "being treated fairly".
They all have the same rights as everyone else. i cant go to a doctor and tell the doctor they have to make my body whatever i want it to be, an anorexic person cant go to a doctor and demand diet pills and liposuction/lap band surgery and claim they arent "being treated fairly" if the doctor says thats not a valid treatment for their psychological problems.
I'm sure the real kk will be back from the other universe. No way the promise will be kept in parts 2&3
*At **4:32** why do I have the feeling it's no coincidence that they are meeting in "City Woke" prenounced as "Shity Woke"* 😆
They called both sides lazy😂
It's just too obvious for anyone to ignore.
I think the only reason this episode of south park seemed good was because Southpark has been pretty sub par for the last couple of seasons and TV in generally is just bad. They ruined most of the commentary about woke movies by implying that the reason for them making woke movies is to combat real racism, and even making Cartman cuck to KK and apologise? Just lame. And the AI subplot had the makings of something great but the punches were obviously pulled and it just felt weak. Its very obvious that Matt and Trey spend most of their time trying to prove that they aren't actually right wing which is why they will shoehorn some lame mea culpa in about racism and they have toned down Cartman.
I was disappointed at them for forgiving her at the end of the episode. They dropped the ball.
They didn't go far enough....and there were many missed opportunities.....but....it's a start.
Also in my opinion if it was not for the You tuber's like yourself and many many others this episode may not have even existed.
I think people who complain about South Park "not going far enough" or whatever just want it to affirm everything they think. Matt and Trey aren't even conservative or anything and I'm sure the networks even make them hold back a little.
Plus, I always thought it'd just be lame if South Park came out and got canceled over something kind of mundane... Like "owning the libs." That's such low hanging fruit. I think if South Park is going to seriously risk cancellation, they'll want it to be over a very profound point. I genuinely think they're saving the day they get cancelled for a magnum opus.

Well deserved takedown, but a bit too kind to KK.
The one part they left out was to have PC Principal first deny that Eric had changed at all and try to claim that he was always diverse and point to a few obscure quotes and scenes from earlier episodes to try and make this ridiculous point. That's something that people like him always try in reality, although they usually abandon it pretty quickly since it gets in the way of celebrating the new hack version and labeling the classic one everybody loves as problematic.
I miss your work over on Bitchute
almost 2 months! I guess you have to take a break for a while to keep feeling positive though.
matt and trey really let kathleen off the hook here. made her almost sympathetic. now go back and see how they portrayed george lucas and Spielberg over one movie, crystal skull. and their take on miles moraels, hes where all this bullshit started. he wasnt an original character
Why is Jake from State Farm now Black? Why can’t he just be new guy John, or Carl or whatever that takes over the position or works alongside Jake? 😐
The only problem I had with this episode is the both Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy are sjw feminist zealots.
This took away agency from Kathleen Kennedy and made it look like she was just replaced by crazy version of herself, when in fact it was her and Bob Iger all along with their DIE and executives that caused all this.
When do you give people you're lampooning the benefit of the doubt, and when do you not? Remember, in 'Team America: World Police,' they reveal that Kim Jung-Il was actually being controlled by an alien space bug. So, it wasn't really him doing all the evil. While I think 'Team America' is likely the funniest film of all time, and the best movie about tin-pot dictators ever made, couldn't we also conclude that Trey and Mat "Let the real bad guy off the hook too easily," with that plot twist? (Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore, aren't given any leeway at all in the film. Do Trey and Matt really believe that Kim Jung-Il is less evil than Michael Moore? I think it's more accurate to say that they're personally bothered and offended by Moore, over Kim Jung-Il, which accounts for the discrepancy in how each is portrayed.)
...One of the things that really would make a better world, is if we gave each other the benefit of the doubt, more (if the person gives any room to deserve it). So, we're better off examining most peoples' statements & actions, w/o trying to read minds. While Kathleen Kennedy isn't my favorite individual, do we actually know, as an established certainty, that she despises strong male characters, and wants to grind whites and males into dust? Is there any possibility that her motives aren't as black as Emperor Palpatine? (While I doubt it, I'm no expert, so I'm open to evidence that would support that view.) :)
@@tranya327 I'm glad that episode of South Park was made because it clearly pissed off Disney ,Kathleen Kennedy and Bob iger enough to threaten South Park creators with legal action.
Team America World Police was a cheap parody satire made using puppets on purpose.
If I were to take your argument as honest you would be saying Stalin, Stalin , Hitler, Mao etc all deserved the benefit of the doubt.
Benefit of the doubt is for people that deserve it (when you don't have reason/evidence that they have malice, bad intent.
Kathleen Kennedy among others has shown what they think by their actions, repeated actions over time.
clearly you're either being dishonest or you wrote this post without any critical thinking.
@@dsadik666 Disney threatening legal action WAS a terrible move; Did they do that to keep from losing a shitload of money, or because they were upset about Iger and KK’s portrayal (or both)?
I think we do know, that:
- people very often do things for more than one reason (threatening legal action);
- public figures (like KK) are often arrogant, thinking that they’re victims, or the only ones who could be right;
- news that’s reported about public figures is always or almost always wrong. (specific facts may be correct, but the report drops context, giving a distorted framework for how the facts should be viewed.)
We agree that people deserve the benefit of the doubt, when they’ve earned it. You’re convinced that KK’s actions have done tremendous damage to beloved franchises, and to the culture generally. I lean in that same direction; I suspect it’s probably true.
You’re convinced that KK has a done a series of bad actions across time, sufficient to remove doubt: She’s a bad actor, with bad intent, and Trey & Matt didn’t portray her harshly enough.
We all have areas where we know a lot, and other areas that we know less well. I don’t spend my time researching KK’s personal history, actions and statements. Even if I attempted to learn them, we live in an era in which no big organization can be trusted, let alone those who report news. I also don’t believe stuff merely because it’s reported a lot.
I know that Bob Iger and KK are two Disney executives, that they’ve made a number of bad decisions, that they’re likely to be misguided in their view of how woke the company should be, and like other people, find it hard to admit major errors in public, especially when their jobs are on the line. I don’t know much else about them. Would I fire them? Yeah, probably, but I don’t get to decide that.
Trey and Matt allowed that the real KK is a flawed human who got in over her head, as opposed to being rotten to the core - so they seem to have a view similar to mine: Not liking what she’s done, skeptical about portraying the inner her as other than misguided.) If we’re wrong, and KK is way over the line, and the evidence totally supports that, they can always do a follow-up. It should also be easy for honest people who know the topic, to enlighten the rest of us. So, in the words of Vinnie Gambini, “Let me see it, show it to me.”
And - I'm glad this South Park ep was made too - both because it's entertaining, and because yeah, I too like to know that powerful people can still be mocked - even if they've used 'diversity' and 'combating racist fans' as a shield.
What did you think of the part where the episode talks about the sexist shit Cartman said to Kennedy? The part where they both say that they fed off eachothers anger and basically doubled down on both their beliefs and trolling?
Brutal? They were incredibly kind and show that they have no understanding of the actual problem with Hollywood.

Interesting! I've seen the film - fairly recently actually - yet I wasn't aware of that particular fact. Heh, the more you know, eh?

I didn't find it scathing or brutal. I thought it was wishy-washy and confused. There were some good bones but they failed to flesh it out. The end basically gives KK a pass because Cartman was mean to her. His epiphany of "wailing on woke is lame" is actually insulting the youtubers who comment on it - the same ones who are currently exclaiming in delight over the episode. Did anyone notice that?

That episode is so relatable. My mom hired a handyman to fix the porch, but he keeps delaying her offer.
If anybody cares, or doubt the claims, during Kathleen Kennedys tenure Disneys stock price has gone from a 189 to about 63. Roughly. Got that from Yahoo finances.
I always try to fix stuff myself before calling a handyman, but sometimes even the internet is no help. After I moved into a new apartment the fridge door just wouldn't stay closed. It would stay closed for a few minutes only to open back up.
I looked online but couldn't find any solutions, I even asked Reddit but none of the suggestions were helpful. I literally went to Home Depot and asked the person who worked in the refrigerator section but his suggestions also didn't help.
Reddit claimed that I needed new magnets, but that didn't apply since the door used suction to stay closed. The person at Home Depot said the refrigerator might be leaning forward, but that didn't help since the refrigerator was on a flat surface and it wasn't leaning forward.
Finally I called a handyman, he took one look in my fridge and said that the shelf wasn't pushed in all the way. I was genuinely shocked because I didn't even know that those shelves could be pulled out.
Also no one either on reddit or at Home Depot suggested that it could be the shelves. What made it incredibly hard to diagnose was because the door would genuinely stay closed for a few minutes before opening back up.
something blocking the door would have been my first thing to check. cant remember how many times my dad has put food in the fridge and i've found it with the door open leaking cold out because the food is just jammed in and sticking out too far, or he's put a bottle of something in where it will hit a shelf in the door.
then i'd have said take all the shelves and everything out. if it still opens then i'd have said check its not leaning. then i'd have said clean the magnet strip, cant see why it'd ever need to be replaced unless it was torn and barely holding on. magnets dont tend to stop being magnets.

Meanwhile I've seen a video saying how the Panderverse actually 'humiliated' the anti-woke lol, talk about trying to spur the narrative around so hard it's full-blown delusional.
I've loved south park for years. I don't watch it all the time. Mainly for the intro, Les Claypool rocks!
I'm still waiting for the pendulum to swing!
Is it a coincidence that "Kenny" looks like Sabine?
car mechanic is a good earner they have so much work on that it can take a week to get an appointment
I knew it be good just from the name "Panderverse". South Park has done it again.
KK is doubling down in response to the episode.
She must have _something_ on Iger.
Perfect - I watched it last night and loved just how many areas they targeted in this episode with their flaming arrows of satire- brilliant work. Hopefully the masses will finally start to see through the agenda driven crap and start demanding better from Disney etc. thankfully I still have my DVD library so can rewatch the classics pre-panda verse until normality returns
This is really closer to mocking us
Yeah, a *Not Another Woke Movie* so needs to be made.
We needs more lazy ideas for movies instead.
I haven't watch south park in years but this esp I laughter my ass off maybe this esp will bring back good comedy to
Alas, it wasn't very brutal. It was pretty milquetoast. Chato called it.
I don’t normally watch South Park, but I did take a look at this episode and it definitely poked at both sides.
Big big fan Dave ❤
One of their great episodes! I live in la ca, this nonsense and everyones feelings getting hurt goes on daily. Ridiculous
This was a work of art. Seen it 3 times now and it’s the best episode since Scott Tenerman ate his parents.
Your voice is so calm you must be a chill Af dude. Love your insights
Just watched it. Hilarious
Beautifully said, thank you.
Oh wow, you’re the first review I’ve seen that actually mention the college/A.I subplot…how Randy believes he’s living in a parallel universe 😂 How they got those two plots together was genius!
When I first saw the thumbnail on Paramount+, I misread it as Pandaverse.
They also made a dig at people who shout "woke" at literally everything. Which I thought was a good way of balancing things. It reminded me of the new Fable trailer- the comments are just filled with Critical Drinker fans talking about how it's too diverse and it's for "modern audiences" and *the message* when in reality it just had a female protagonist who wasn't particularly attractive and it had one black man in it. And also the fact that Kathleen Kennedy isn't the antichrist. She's just an out of touch executive who tried to put her beliefs into films where they didn't belong.
southpark called out channels like these too, but i huess you wont talk about that.
Dave.. you need to watch more South Park, they have been on the front line of the culture war for decades. I envy someone that has missed 15 years of content.
Are you sure they're not the ones helping pull it into the cess pool?
Bring Original Disney back!!!!!! That Disney that let us dream and have fun. That Disney we learnt to love and respect.
I've not watched Southpark for a long time. But I was forced to watch World Wide Privacy Tour. Because it was perfect.
I'll just stick to old school films and classics now. I watched Where Eagles Dare again the other night for the umpteenth time and it was a wonderful 150mins.
think we can both admit it wasn't all that brutal. and they backhanded the antiwoke crowd by calling your content lazy.
it went far easier on them than it should have, tbh
People are going to post clips out of context. Remember: never a good thing to agree with Eric Cartman.
@@lolcat5303 it did take it prety easy on the antiwoke crowd but I guess thats low hanging fruit
OMG! You came back! I miss you! New channel - awesome!
I'm personally not a huge fan of South Park, some of the gross out humor goes a little to far for me, but I will eternally respect them for seemingly being the only writers in the world that remember the golden rule of comedy; there is no one above being made fun of, everything can and should be satirized.
That was a great episode. Either everything is game or nothing is
Until you get slapped with a multi-million dollar lawsuit. South Park team can afford lawyers, most comedians can't.
"Brutal Takedown"?!!? Matt and Trey completely shit the bed in the final 10 minutes when the missed the mark on every single idea they built during the rest of the episode. To let Kennedy off the fucking hook was an abomination. It would have been a better ending if the Kennedy in the Panderverse (the real KK from our universe) would have explained that she didn't make any of the screwed up decisions that destroyed Disney...it was all the Cartman version of her. This would have allowed them to bring her back to her original universe (ours) with the promise that she'll clean up all the woke horseshit her evil counterpart caused. Also, I really expected Sharon to finally say "Fuck You!" to Randy and fix the oven door herself. That would have been a more satisfying ending to the "handyman" thread than for Randy to SOMEHOW...MIRACULOUSLY...go all through the multiverse collecting up all the toothless old white handymen from other universes. They came on strong with great concepts and, in the end, it was a though they got bored with making the episode and just said, "Screw you guys, we're going home!".
I believe it was the Shakespeare whom said, " truth spoken in jest is often times spoken best"...
Only Matt and Trey could get away with this without being "CANCELED!" Way to go guys!
Cancel culture isn't real
THIS is why South Park has been my favorite show since it debuted. It isn't afraid of calling out ANYONE.
