Fun fact: They originally planned on killing off Kyle instead of Kenny, since Stan and Kyle were very similar at the time. However, they felt the running gag of always killing Kenny ran its course, and unlike Kyle, if they killed off Kenny, they could always just bring him back should they change their minds, which is exactly what happened, a season later.
I was SO happy to see anothet video from you they're really well done and you bring up some interesting points. I'm also excited about you approaching season 7, my all time favourite (besides 3). Keep up the good work 🌟
Jesus was sort of killed-off too. He came back in season 11 but it was quite a while after this so I'm pretty sure they initially planned on keeping him dead. Also, even though Butters and Tweek were Kenny's replacements, Timmy took his part in the opening theme to keep the tradition of the unintelligible lyrics.
In seasons 4 and 5 he was like the sixth most prominent kid behind the main four and Butters, but I'm pretty sure that after Trey and Matt thought of Jimmy, they felt like they could use him in a lot more scenarios than Timmy. Character promience has always varied between seasons and I feel like a similar situation happened in the case of Officer Barbrady's spot being taken by Detective Harris.
@@mhi3280 what drives me crazy is that before they introduced Detective Harrison, whenever the show wanted to do cop drama which required more competent police than Barbrady, they used this guy who sounds like Harrison but has a totally different design (he was definitely in Li'l Crime Stoppers, can't recall rn if he was in any others)
@@JambiStambi Nope, he was only in Lil' Crime Stoppers. Also in Harrison's first ever appearance he worked for the FBI, he didn't become a cop until his second appearance.
I really did not want to like this season (because little to no Kenny) but the whole season was just a masterpiece. Seasons 4-11 were honestly the best seasons of South Park.
i understand that nothing requires me to upload at a particular pace, but i would like to put out content at a better rate than i have been. thanks for being so understanding tho!
Fun Fact: The fourth friend was going to change every run of the show,.according to the season 6 commentary. I guess it changed because everyone wanted Kenny back
now that i’m up to this season, i think this is the best of your retrospectives so far. i think this season is where south park finally perfects the formula. i’ve been surprised how much serialization has happened over these first years. lots of little stories going on in the background from the very beginning.
also, i wanna say to something to you, jambi. i hope you keep taking your time getting these out. don’t for a second feel like less of a content creator just because of the gaps in uploads. real life is messy and that should be your priority. these are art, and i think we appreciate seeing a bit of who you are through the lens of this fun show.
i very much appreciate these kind words. i do feel bad sometimes about not putting stuff out on a regular basis, but am extremely grateful for people who are willing to be patient with me and i intend keep putting out content that people enjoy, whether it's on a regular basis or every few months. (although ideally, i'd like to put more work into making it the former)
I guess the reason why Tweek doesn't appear as much anymore was the same reason why Pip doesn't appear in the show anymore as his main trait was carried over to Butters and the team also found him more easier to write for than Tweek.
Individually season 6 has alot of great episodes but the constant status quo shifts back towards resetting re-setting the show to "normal" just makes you wonder what was the point of all that change in the first place. Its like matt & trey relaised part-way through that alot of the changes weren't really working put and just to decided on a hard reset.
i think part of the reason i like season 6 so much is because it's willing to go all over the place in terms of continuity. to me it serves as a reminder that South Park will never remain stagnant, it's the kind of show that's always willing to switch things up
@JambiStambi it's one of my favourite seasons. I actually like they play around with the status quo. Its more than some other long-running animated shows are willing to do (looking at you simpsons & family guy)
Would be so funny if like after years the season seven retrospective comes out and its just how i met your mother season seven retrospective and everyone pretended its the season seven retrospective of south park
I wish they kept playing with the boys adding new friends, I wish they played around with the dynamic not tried to recreate it. I wish Wendy, Jimmy, Towelie or even Craig were added to play with how the group works. It could have been fun how a girl would react to the boys or somethingm
(random place to put this but since u brought up stan and kyle's attitude toward butters) I've tried to explain why the joke of hating on butters works better than the joke hating on pip and I think I've nailed it down. pip has little to no flexibility and his interactions w/ others are always the same; he's overly polite and earnest while everyone else is overly hateful. with butters they're at least willing to hang out with him while treating him as the loser of the group, and butters has a level of...idk "realism" abt him that makes for way better interactions. also even when they lay their disdain for butters on thick it's exaggerated to the point of absurdity; I love at the start of "asspen" when cartman says "hey guys butters is asleep" and stan says "god he's such a douchebag"
@@JambiStambi I mean I can see why they hate pip--kinda same as butters, they think he's a wimpy, goody 2 shoes loser--the thing is after a couple eps ur just kinda like "ok I get it, everyone hates pip" bc it never rlly goes further than that. (ig it's arbitrary in the sense that even ppl like chef hate pip)
@@tiablue9106 While you make a good case for why it works for Butters and not Pip, and rightfully so (Pip was a British stereotype at most), I still find the chemistry in early Season 6 to be poorly done because Stan and Kyle come off as Cartman copies. It's frustrating watching the duo betray their moral compass for the sake of putting someone else down, and it's boring due to three identical personalities and a lack of comeuppance. The only parts that work are when Cartman is putting Butters down, not only because it fits the character, but he also got major karma later on in the Season 8 masterpiece, "AWESOME-O". It's absolutely glorious.
@@fictionalmediabully9830 I don't feel that way bc it doesn't go against their characters. just bc they're acting in tandem w/ cartman doesn't make them the same as him--at least, that happens a lot and it never feels that way to me. and idk what u mean abt it "betraying their moral compass" when they bullied pip (plus others like that smart homeschooled kid) for similar reasons to butters. and they never got karma for that either, so I never rlly expected it w/ butters as it's part of the comedy how everything goes wrong for him
@@tiablue9106 Season 5 changed Stan and Kyle's characterisation - they went from being troublemakers in Seasons 1-4 to mature and well-behaved children who almost always did the right thing. Ignoring that it's a poorly contextaulised change, I expect Season 6 to stick to it, but it tries and fails to mix the quirks of the previous seasons. In that context, Stan and Kyle bullying Pip and the homeschooled kid has much better justification than Butters. Your comment is all over the place, by the way, the karma bit is redundant filler.
lol i'm not intentionally glossing over Pip, i just usually only tend to talk about characters that get a lot of usage in any given season or noteworthy character introductions. also it's not Pip's last speaking role, in 201 he asked Barbara Streisand to stop wreaking havoc on town, and she told him no with her foot
@@JambiStambi I know that but Pip was only in that scene to get killed off. Pip truly is South Parks version of Bruno. If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the movie Encanto
@@JambiStambi I hate they killed off Pip :/ especially in episodes that eventually got banned. I missed out on it when it aired & it made me quite confused on why one of my favorites wasn't showing up anymore. also Pip could be the reason why Stan & Kyle originally disliked Butters so much. since Butters was sorta being written to take over Pip's role.
I felt like this season had a bit of rocky start by overfocusing on Butters basically being the 'Meg', the one all the characters instinctively knew to hate and treat like shit, meaning we had the boys all acting like one united Cartman in scamming and bullying him for a lot of the first half. The whole Kenny replacement arc seemed to really overfocus on making the main boys totally unlikeable which got old after a while and made it feel more like a generic mean spirited adult comedy. I feel like even the creators knew it wasn't really going anywhere, hence slowly fazing it out and bringing Kenny back anti climatically. I feel like by the end of the season, however, they started to nail the more character driven satire seasons after have, Stan and Kyle and many other characters get fleshed out into their contemporary personalities and even when Butters is shifted back into focus he has a more developed dynamic with everyone. This is arguably also when Randy really started to become of the key characters. A shame Tweak didn't really catch on, but they would at least try that again later on. Also maybe the last season where Chef's still kind of a key regular, appearing in about half the episodes and a lot of them being more than just token lines. I feel like later Season Six and Season Seven are peak South Park, that perfect balance of old and new humour. Season Six was still experimenting early on, but it did eventually reach the results.
@Lucas48227 Yeah but I think the thing is that by Season Six the other boys had mellowed out a whole lot, so it felt like were kinda breaking character to be mean to Butters, hence the 'Meg' of the group. It's like how everyone, not just a jerk like Cartman but even the ever loving CHEF had it in for Pip, the joke that they're THAT unpopular that even the nice ones will be mean to them. It didn't really work as well the more South Park became character driven instead of gag/shock value driven. The whole fourth friend arc kinda felt like a study in how horrible the boys were, how they exploited their friend being DEAD to guilt trip others, with the punchline being by the final time it was used that they barely even remembered Kenny anymore and again, just wanted something selfish out of it. Would have likely worked for early Stan and Kyle, but again they kinda had to amp up their callousness by this point. Noticably as soon as it ended they went right back to their contemporary characterisations. Future Self and Me felt like another go at a proper Stan and Butters dynamic where, yeah, Butters annoys Stan, but Stan isn't suddenly Cartman 2.0 anymore. I definitely feel like that was the point Matt and Trey decided they didn't want mean spiritedness purely for the sake of mean spiritedness, to copy Family Guy of all things. It's telling that the latter half of Season Six also plays around with a lot of other characters' potential, Bebe gets an episode, Butters is getting dynamics reformated, they try something with Tweek even if it doesn't last and it's also when the parents start to become a greater focus as well, particularly Randy who's REALLY starting to become himself by this point. Again this felt like the show truly accepting being character driven.
In child abduction is not funny when Tweeks parents knock on his bedroom door and say your dead when he opens it and say what if we were a child abductor pretending to be the police that seems more like something Butters parents would do rather than Tweeks parents
to me, the whole first act of Child Abduction is Not Funny perfectly explains so much about why Tweek is the way he is. anybody would be a nervous wreck with Tweek's psychotic parents
i agree, i could also easily see the Stotch's doing the same to Butters. it's actually kind of funny, all three fourth friends have a similar connecting theme in the sense that Kenny, Butters and Tweek all come from.. let's say less stable families
Speaking of Tweek's absence after Season 6, here's something I noticed when he returns in Season 19. You can tell how out of practice Matt Stone was with his voice. Tweek sounds exactly like Kyle at many points.
I’ve always considered this season the true start of the golden age. Definitely one of the best seasons, arguably THE best, but it can’t be without Kenny.
Season 6 is alright, but revisiting it has been mildly disappointing. It comes off as a juggling act contest - it throws in several fresh ideas but none are fleshed out. Butters being a fourth member? Cool, but it's hurt by poorly contextaulised mean-spirited storytelling (Stan and Kyle are suddenly carbon copies of Cartman, resulting in out-of-character moments that result in plot contrivances). Tweek being a fourth member? Cool, but it's there for only a few episodes, and unlike Butters him leaving the group isn't contextaulised. Kenny being in Cartman's body? Hilarious, but once again, not enough episodes to justify it. It's not without its moments, though - the second half is much better than the first, and is home to some fantastic episodes that exemplify what makes "South Park" such a joy to watch. On the whole, when judged fundamentally, it's one of the weaker seasons; not a terrible one like Season 2, but far from glorious. Speaking of glorious, I finished Season 26 - some of the programme's best content yet. 26 years later, and "South Park" continues to be the gold standard of long-running animated programmes. I wouldn't say it's the only one, though, as I recently became a lover of "The Loud House", but that's a story for another day. Overall, good video.
Yeah that kinda bugged me as well, Season Six early on was bogged down a lot by stock adult comedy humour. The whole arc with replacing Kenny or trying to exploit his death just came down to all three boys being totally unlikeable which isn't as strong a dynamic. I think ultimately they realised it wasn't going anywhere and just dropped it for developing the characters, even bringing Kenny back in the end as if to admit 'Yeah that didn't work out'. I think it's why Season Six's last half is almost on a different league from the first (though the latter does have some fun moments, especially Professor Chaos and The New Terrence and Phillip Movie Trailer).
1. because i'm trans and came out publicly almost a year ago 2. it's my sorta mascot thing, an image i assembled out of several AI generated pictures of purple muppets
When it comes to all the seasons of the show I truly believe that South Park Season 13 has some of the best parody’s in the entire show, Some of the episodes in that season will remain some of the best episodes at least in my opinion
But you did kinda forget that Pip had his own episode in season 4. Many consider it to be the worst episode but I think the worst episode was the one where Stan coached the Little league hockey players
i didn't forget about it, i just didn't bring it up as even though i do find it to be a fine episode that tends to be overhated, i also wouldn't call it a highlight of season 4 by any means
This and Season 7 were some of the BEST South Park. Even without Kenny, the episodes in Season 6 have rightfully gone down as some of the very best and iconic. I haven't seen most episodes from this season in particular, but even I can quote the famous bits through footage I've seen and episodes I HAVE watched. "Fightin' round the woooorld!" "In this version, the word 'Nazi' is turned to 'Person of Political Difference' and the guns are replaced by walkie talkies." "THE CATHOLIC BOOOOOOOOOOAT! It's gonna be heading on out today!" "Now you see how easy it is to be discriminated against." "I wanna ride again! I wanna ride again!" *"BACKDOOR SLUTS NINE?!"* "Rob Schneider derp-de-derp! Until ONE DAY, the derp-a-derp-a-derpaderp!" "(muffled) Just hanging around."
Fun fact: They originally planned on killing off Kyle instead of Kenny, since Stan and Kyle were very similar at the time. However, they felt the running gag of always killing Kenny ran its course, and unlike Kyle, if they killed off Kenny, they could always just bring him back should they change their minds, which is exactly what happened, a season later.

Also, even though Butters and Tweek were Kenny's replacements, Timmy took his part in the opening theme to keep the tradition of the unintelligible lyrics.
it never made much sense to me that Timmy replaces Kenny's line in the song, yet season 6 goes pretty light on usage of Timmy

Season 6 and 7 are probably my favourites (7 with the slight edge) for the cozy collection of classic after classic

i didn't forget about it, i just didn't bring it up as even though i do find it to be a fine episode that tends to be overhated, i also wouldn't call it a highlight of season 4 by any means
This and Season 7 were some of the BEST South Park. Even without Kenny, the episodes in Season 6 have rightfully gone down as some of the very best and iconic. I haven't seen most episodes from this season in particular, but even I can quote the famous bits through footage I've seen and episodes I HAVE watched.
"Fightin' round the woooorld!"
"In this version, the word 'Nazi' is turned to 'Person of Political Difference' and the guns are replaced by walkie talkies."
"THE CATHOLIC BOOOOOOOOOOAT! It's gonna be heading on out today!"
"Now you see how easy it is to be discriminated against." "I wanna ride again! I wanna ride again!"
*"BACKDOOR SLUTS NINE?!"*
"Rob Schneider derp-de-derp! Until ONE DAY, the derp-a-derp-a-derpaderp!"
"(muffled) Just hanging around."

A very odd thing to point out, but your voice sounds less deep than in your older videos.
because i don't try to talk in a deep voice anymore. i used to be insecure about the way i sound but now idgaf
Great video. By the way, the link to your instagram on your about tab doesnt work
