Synopsis
Garrison is still on the campaign trail.
Plot
A girls' volleyball match in the South Park gymnasium appears to be massively attended by the townspeople. However, the vast majority of them are only there just to see how many of the players will sit down during the anthem to protest a misogynist Internet troll on their school's message boards, with Randy Marsh even having placed a bet. Meanwhile, Congress decides that The Star-Spangled Banner needs a reboot in order to fix the divisiveness caused by the protests, and turns to J.J. Abrams for help.
Randy is later visited by a Gallup pollster, informing the pollster that his family will vote for the turd sandwich instead of the giant douche, much to Sharon's anger. Stressed out over the political climate, a friend of his recommends eating a superfruit called "member berries" to relax. The member berries, which are small purple berries that utter nostalgic phrases, initially relax Randy until they start asking him to remember the repression of minorities causing him to spit them out.
As Mr. Garrison's presidential campaign picks up steam, whle having a very wrong sun tan, he quickly realizes that he will be unable to carry out his ludicrous campaign promises. Realizing that he also cannot quit without "looking like a jackass," he vows to continue running but in a way that will ensure Hillary Clinton's victory although he cannot figure out how to do so until a newscaster announces the rebooted anthem. Garrison decides to sit out the anthem at a football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Carolina Panthers attended by both him and Clinton, only to be thwarted by the fact that Abrams' reboot simply allows people to choose whether to sit, stand or kneel to honor America, essentially making protests meaningless. From their homes, Wendy, Bebe, and Nichole angrily walk away from their TVs.
Kyle and the victimized girls strongly suspect that Cartman is responsible for the messages, but cannot prove it. Cartman also denies being the internet troll, although he does not help his case by failing to host a girls' stand-up comedy session in the gym and pretending to have been attacked by the girls afterward. The end of the episode reveals that the troll is actually Kyle's father Gerald. SigKauffman: Wikipedia
Critical Reception
The AV Club awarded this episode B+. Esquire said it was "disjointed and rather bland." IGN said "topical humor alone can’t make up for the lack of a good, solid story ... "Member Berries" boasted some clever ideas and funny gags, but the many warring subplots failed to coalesce into a satisfying whole. The show is never at its best when it tries to cram too much topical humor into one episode."
