Cartman Gets an Anal Probe

So I just noticed that the South Park Epic Episodes page has been updated, but what it neglects to include that Cartman Gets an Anal Probe beat Stupid Spoiled Whore on Instagram and I believe Facebook too, as I saw more people preferring the first episode over SSWVP, but I'm not sure what the statistics are for Facebook. How do you feel about this? Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset is often considered one of the better episodes, and from what I've seen people don't seem very fond of Cartman Gets an Anal Probe. Do you think this was a well-deserved victory or do you think fans need better taste?

Hey guys!

The first full South Park episode I saw was "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" sometime in the late spring of 2017. If only I knew what was going to happen in Season 21. Anyways, what was the first full episode of South Park you watched?

Hey everyone!

Today, I'm making this post because I noticed something while I was re-watching the earlier seasons.

In those older episodes, everyone talked with each other. That's just how it was, social interaction everywhere in South Park. The boys were closest then, the only form of social media was their computers, but even then they didn't use them very often. I think the reason why the older seasons may be more entertaining to watch is the fact that they are kids just being kids, nothing really distracted them from going out and living. The only electronic devices they used were their their phones, video game consoles, or TV. They were always outside playing or spending time with their close friends.

Fast-forward a few years, now everyone is using smart phones and the boys have been slowly drifting apart. I think "Buddha Box" really did a nice job touching on this, because people ignore pretty much everyone around them when they are on their phones. Cutting themselves off from everyone else, sometimes resulting in lame episodes. Don't get me wrong, "Skank Hunt" was an interesting episode because it showed the negative side of social media and the affect it can have on people.

Now future generations won't have much experience with social interactions, and I realized that the second part applies to me. I'll never know what it was like to be an eight year old in the year 1997 and that's another reason why I like to watch South Park. It's kind of history because Matt and Trey constantly referenced events and shows from the time they were making the episodes (and it's still going on right now, especially with "The Pandemic Special".

Just my thoughts. How has this made you feel?
