As an American it's great to see Japan's point of view of these types of cartoons, as those are shows I grew up with. Also this is great Japanese listening practice, thanks for speaking clearly. I'm definitely gonna subscribe!
In fact, the episode is a parody of how the West considers Japan to be too aggressive with marine animals (whaling or radiation in the sea). However, they give an important reflection at the end when they trick the Japanese fishermen into killing chickens and cows by claiming that they are now "normal".... Demonstrating Western "hypocrisy" ... "Because killing whales and dolphins is bad" but "killing chickens and cows is good"
Even though I am a pure Japanese I like South Park as I could learn tons of vocabularies and phrases by watching its episodes when I was a high school student Also as they often make satires against current/timely happenings So I could learn affairs/scandals/things happened in those days through episodes And the first episode you showed, that’s the “chinpokomon” episode The episode was broadcast when Pokémon became sensational world-widely

@@Lovcat428 Yes, I know However In English, the main way to make someone laugh is “sarcasm” And South Park makes really “drastically” sarcastic satires Lately it’s getting “light”, but until a few years ago, they had made really, for some “offensive”, for others “funny” episodes They did make sarcastic episodes on Mormons(religion), queen Elizabeth(hierarchy), other nations like Japan, China etc) , president trump “American comedy” is way different from Japanese comedy
To be honest, I like this kind of black-joke comedy cartoons, even though I’m a pure Japanese. They are edgy n still funny to me because I could learn some (radical) stereotypes n prejudices, n also feel “cultured.”
