This season has seen South Park experimenting with continuity more than they ever have before.
Do you think this experiment has worked?
Will this be an approach theyll continue with?
But weve never seen anything like this.
I think for the most part fans enjoyed and appreciated it.
The only downside is that the writers never further explored why Butters burned down the gym.
However, I dont really considerSouth Parkto be Dan Harmon when it comes to callbacks.
Doing it once for the first time in 18 years is hilarious.
Promptly ignoring the continuity for year 19 would be even better.
Daniel Kurland:I thoughtSouth Parkmixing things up this year with a somewhat serialized season was some wonderful stuff.
Unless they get bored again.
What did you think of this?
Would you like to see other thematic ideas explored in future seasons?
I didnt even know that freemium was a word untilSouth Park, much less who Pewdiepie is.
I would love to see them continue unpacking themes just as they did with Broadway afterBook of Mormon.
I can only support it.
We certainly got more Randy this season than we have in quite some time.
Coolest dad on TV.
He had the best storylines.
But his greatest trick?
Finally becoming the star of the series for at least a season.
DK: Randyor rather, I guessLorde was really the lynchpin of the whole season, wasnt he?
Randy has certainly become as essential to the show as the main boys have.
This year went even further with this though, almost using Randy as the connective tissue through the year.
Best Supporting Actors: Which characters besides Randy stood out for you during season 18?
CL: Timmys enemies, Mimsy and Nathan, deserve more screentime.
DC: Does Lorde not count?
I suppose if I were to give an honest answer, Id lean once more towards Butters.
Hes not a woman, hes not a man, hes something that youll never understand.
But he would die for me.
persona that fuels the devastation of the finale, Cartman was in top form this year.
Runner-up goes to Nathan and Mimsy.
This was a big season for new celebrity cameos… and holograms.
Who was your favorite superstar to get the South Park treatment?
CL: Matthew McConaughey was driving Handicars long before he was getting paid to drive Handicars.
But what was the icing on the cake?
Bill Cosby luring in Taylor Swift to Baby, Its Cold Outside.
Nothing was held back duringThe Washington Redskins Go F*ck Yourself Holiday Special.
And, it was nice to hear youre ignorant again in that high register.
DC:I really feel like Im being baited to quote Lorde at this point.
Shoot him and then choke him!
Wildly inappropriate and probably too soon, its also mercilessly eye-popping commentary for these days.
The Internet went nuts over these few seconds, and not without good reason.
The latter was a ton of fun, but I can make a stronger argument for the former.
DC: Easily The Cissy.
If you could sum up season 18 in one sentence…
CL: Go Fund Yourself.
DC:I am Lorde (ya, ya, ya).
DK: Engaging in a feedback loop with the audience.
