Skylar Webb never thought about it like that before but yeah, you're right!

South Park has no sides, and creators revel in that fact; it's so completely neutral and it's considered outstanding by some. The Gang makes you think about the side your on. It considers both side instead of marking them as pointless and stupid for even being a thing. Like the Gun Fever episodes, they show both sides in positive and negative light and it's up to YOU to make what you will of it. RGC gave us the Legos and it's up to us to create something with them.

Yes.

THANK you. Honestly as much as I love south park, I feel like it gets its head way too far up it's own ass sometimes

Holy crap that is a perfect way of putting it, thank you!

He always comes out on top

Heather Calun ah, the plot thickins

Good catch (no pun intended). I hadn't noticed that until now. Itls one of those subtle jokes that could go either way. On the one hand, egging is a thing, but on the other it could be a commentary on how both sides hate ech other so much that they just use the issue to bash each other over the head, not realizing they become part of the problem. I actually once saw an anti abortionist comment somewhere that he wanted to troll the other side by posing as pro life and staging a protest where they all smash fertilized eggs to prove that it wasn't actually life or whatever, and record the reactions of the pro life people who would probably not react well.

So many layers.

You just cracked an egg of knowledge on these peoples heads. Lol But yeh I agree, was obvious

Kind of a stretch dude.

it's great to pay half attention to for this reason. I still find new funny little jokes every now and then

That's exactly how I described Sunny and South Park to my girlfriend who has seen neither.

saw a meme about sunny being a show about dumb people for smart people, the way the big bang theory is about smart people for dumb people

MrGrimlocke the whole show is!

@Django Fett it is objectively the worst tho its fantastic and funny, does a brilliant job establishing the characters, and without it Danny Devito would've never come aboard but it's easily the least quality overall out of the 13 we've gotten so far

@Hi How Are You? its true, the only season i cant rewatch...only episode i can is "Underage Drinking: A National Concern"

Season 1 is way better than the newest season. Don't @ me

Hi How Are You? I’ve never come across a show that started so strong “the gang gets racist” was amazing

Sounds like a good episode to check out. Thank you for the recommendation.

@@phaedrus4931 watch every episode :3

Especially with the property owner talking to them about where the "dividing line" of the property is! Palestinian/Iranian Border, anyone??

@@bluesira This Jews in for a ton of work!!

Pretty sure Dee has the right to vote…

Dee is the only member of the gang who votes

the way you said it sounds more like animal farm, frank is napoleon, dennis is squealer, mac and charlie are the other animals, except actually discuss stuff in always sunny

That’s exactly how I interpreted it on my first watch.

Yeah I have no idea how Dennis is supposed to be the media. But "Le media bad" is an easy scapegoat is guess.

Dennis only wants the *illusion* of power... and he didn't see an ounce of puss

Nah, Frank is the government, since he controls the coinpurse. Dennis lies to the people to distract them, which the media does.

frank is definitely a libertarian

Frank doesn’t want the liberal yahoos taking his guns

Labels

frank is more political than anyone else

I agree - I don’t personally get how people can watch the show and not get that it’s coming from a leftist perspective but I guess there are different ways to view things I think there’s a possibility an alt right minority who watch it just go ‘haha it’s offensive’ and the point sails over their head… (someone in this comment section called Dennis “rational”, so those people must exist….) but I hadn’t considered previously that’d it’d have any appeal to those kinds of audiences

@@BigKicksMix from what I’ve seen, the alt-right group is actually a lot bigger than we think. My dad used to be one of them when he introduced me to IASIP, but the show actually ended up convincing him to become more moderate lol

replying to tis after three years lol but yess. the show is definitely from a leftist perspective with the opinions displayed throughout the show - showcasing the ridiculousness of capitalism, the alt-right, and other matters such as abortion, palestine, gun control, queerness and the like. far-right people who watch the show are fans because they think the show is 'on their side' so it does cultivate some ambiguity but a bit of critical thinking brings forth what the show is really about

they've gotten worse at it. See season 13.

@@joeconkle8826 how when in the first episode they shit on the whole diversity thing and needing change. also how this issues are just used for profit. and the way u say left leaning... identity politics really has screwed america coz nothing can be looked at objectively

and one can have varied opinions depending on the topic. i can support abortion and still want guns around. but no that's too complex for a human being. left/right, americans are so dumb. this system was used by the british ruling class to divide the people and forget about feudalism. i mean people actually had a fcking civil war coz they couldn't agree slavery was bad. but am guessing u are gonna say it was republicans that wanted to abolish slavery forgetting that the party abandoned their ideals and were for segregation. some issues are just about the humane thing to do, but when this affects someone's money they can use the public to their advantage coz some people want to validate some horrible opinions they have formed coz they don't wanna seem like bad people. leading to this whole left/right bs. like seriously how can u sum up someone's outlook on society and life issues into two groups and u fall on one or the other??? left leaning... sorry but that is so stupid

@@joeconkle8826 agreed. Season 13 was waaay too preachy

@Demacai disagree I would argue that episodes 1, 3, 4, 6, and 10 were all trying to teach me something, which I never got those vibes from previous seasons. Season 13 just seemed a little off, and I personally attributed part of that to feeling like I was getting preached at sometimes, but I also thought there were 2 legit dud episodes (8 & 9) in season 13 which I've never experienced from Sunny before.

Another commenter used the term "chicken abortions" He is now my nomination for president

DJ Blades i think the point of all sunny is to make me laugh

If you stand for nothing, Burr, what will you fall for?

Also the news doesn't have to have a bias, legit the BBC in the UK is completely unbiased as it's state run. Do some surface level research before assuming everything is the same as America's shit media

@@ImK4Os The UK's media is definitely biased rofl. For the record I'm South African, not from US or UK. I'll 100% grant you that it's less biased than US media, but to sit there and try to act like it's entirely unbiased is honestly unbelievable. ALL media is biased. The fact that it's state run is not some kind of positive point for your argument. It just means the UK government (which is not perfect by any means) has a say in what is reported. Just look at how the media reported on Count Dankula, for a joke that no reasonable human being would think was hate speech. The bias is there, and if you can't see it then you need to take a deep long think about things.

@@dotanon since you're from South Africa, I'll try to simplify things for you given you don't live here at all. The government has NO say in what the BBC does, it's an entirely separate organisation that is FUNDED by the government as a constant, so that they don't change what they say for higher funding. The wording of all news titles is unbiased, stating only facts and actions. It doesn't say "people outraged over etc etc" they will say what happened. End of story. All of the BBC funded comedy and political shows are biased as they cannot have unbiased comedy, but THE BBC NEWS is. While yes I know it won't be ENTIRELY unbiased, as that is physically impossible unless it was automated, but it's the closest we can get. They don't have to care about ratings as they get funded equally DESPITE HOW MANY PEOPLE WATCH, they don't have any insentive to be biased and any time a news presenter says something remotely one sided they're sacked instantly. It's as close as humans can get so don't come to me as if I'm some ignorant sheep about a situation you obviously have a surface level amount of knowledge about. Do some research, perhaps try BBC news, they're quite fact driven I've heard :)

Dee may have been the "voice of reason" in season one but she her motivations have been shallow since the first episode. Their politics seems fairly left leaning, but it's always reprehensible characters spouting either side of the argument. Plus, it's shown early on that Dee's character has no political knowledge at all, in later episodes she even talks about how pointless it is to read the news. "Eww now I can never vacation to syria" My point is that even South Park falls into the pitfall of preaching with it's mouthpiece characters like Kyle and Stan, whereas sunny made all of it's opinionated cast have no moral ground to stand on. Even charlie ends up wanting to ditch the waitress after he promises her a baby to sleep with her. Also that pickle party line sounds more like a jab at all parties, not just the tea party, but you are probably very right about the tea party being a reference.

The tea party was extremely loud, misinformed, and racist (also funded by billionaires). If you were remotely informed you laughed at that line, regardless of political affiliation.

Tropic Mephisto Wow you really are an enlightened centrist type, huh? First, I get being fed up with people repeating the same bits of rhetoric over and over, but that should have no bearing on their value. In the end, someone’s context and exposure are the only things that really determine what they decide to believe, hence the “attention is king” model of political discourse in the digital age. Second, you realize that this and south park are SHOWS, right? Dee’s writing is not necessarily internally consistent beyond what fit the narrative that took shape as the show progressed. It often doesn’t make sense to attempt to square certain later attributes of characters with their previous incarnations (see Brian the dog). That’s how shows work. You can’t go back to make things internally consistent, and to say the Sunny crew know precisely where they were going is really quite naive. A perfectly reasonable explanation for Dee’s later callousness as opposed to her original (relative) voice of reason is that they found her stride in being just as terrible a person as the rest of the gang, even though their original conception of her was not so absurd. This is also consistent with the fact that Sunny’s creators are left wingers (they are). Additionally, I love how you still seem to read The Pickle Party as an indictment of “all sides” even when faced with solid rationale for why it was specifically targeted. Not saying that unhealthy elements of modern politics across the board aren’t present, just that your assumption seems much more indicative of your perspective than of reality, given that you didn’t get the reference in the first place. And you do realize than Kyle and Stan are *intended* to be laughable while simultaneously providing valid points. A valid interpretation of the intent behind their mouth piece ness is that Matt and Trey intend to portray how annoying and preachy liberals get, despite sometimes having (in their eyes) the moral high ground. Above all, these are real issues that affect real people’s lives. I get making fun of people for being annoying, but it’s very unhelpful to allow the ubiquitousness of politics in culture to jade yourself to the point where criticizing the presentation of ideas becomes the focal point of your worldview, like South Park. It’s helpful to take steps back from the conversation, check eachother and ourselves, but I see so many people who have become convinced that the dynamics of discourse matter more than its content that I believe it’s become toxic. In conclusion, do you really think you’re qualified to be making analytical youtube videos like this? It’s not revolutionary or interesting to just say that people spout off the same talking points, or that they’re insufferable for doing so. The fact that you criticize South Park for including a base amount of moralizing (and the fact that you don’t get that it’s simultaneously poking fun at said moralizing) tells me that your worldview is purely the jadedness of a young person who feels like the world is stupid and myopic. And it is. But it’s not helpful to make that your worldview.

Spouting "enlightened centrist" straight away really helped me ignore what I am sure is just rambling idiocy, so thanks for that.

The Menkhu Pray tell why that’s a disqualifying term?

This used to say "20th time" I am suddenly skeptical.🤔

Chris Serpicø Yep, a great balance of Liberalism, athiesm, and the most right wing viewpoint acceptable in hollywood, left wing Libertarianism

Danny doesn't necessarily have as much to do with the writing but he makes Bernie Sanders look like Pinochet.

so??? at least they show how both sides think and how easily the people in power use these divisive topics to hide their true intentions. at least leaders in your country actually try to do their jobs. in africa they get away with stealing billions by just bringing up divisive moral topics

falaflani not really most right wingers are business owners they know what’s going on but liberals most of the time can’t understand the nuances of politics and want an easy answer which is why we get moron Democrats that let are city’s burn down that not me picking a side it’s a fact

IASIP has no soul.

That’s true. A conservative show would usually have mild humor, all homogeneous and religious ppl and not talk about society at all.

charlottesasaki Actually, Hollywood used to be very conservative back then. Then there was a shift. If you look back at all the movies that were black and white and probably up until the 1970s, that’s when liberals started taking over and it seems it will stay that way for a while. Not sure what happened or how things shifted in Hollywood, maybe the diversity of immigrants in California had something to do with it.

One, silence dink. And two , I was only saying that because he never mentioned the fact that Dennis was the media rather than frank's main puppet mastering in the situation. I also felt Dennis more represented a political pundit rather than the media in general, more similar to someone of the likes of Stephen Colbert or Charlie Kirk.
