Featured review
Not as funny as the last episode but still good
It's weird that instead of big pharma or big oil, who are way more relevant right now, South Park is like - "big toilet paper is the current thing we should make an entire episode about."
And there's Hogwarts Legacy thrown in in the beginning, clearly just because it was a hot topic for a week. As a joke it led nowhere, clearly just shoehorned in because the creators always want to throw in relevant things into the show, but can't really make them work into it in a funny way... Like this time around.
It wasn't a set up for anything, like you may hope; not even a joke - it's just "here's a thing people are talking about right now." Not the first time South Park does this, and it disappoints a bit.
But yeah, still an interesting episode, just not exactly funny. They go about how toilet paper is wasteful and inefficient, and it's one of those cases where you can't tell if the South Park creators are being serious or completely joking, or perhaps trying to use "big toilet paper" as a metaphor for big pharma, but I really doubt it. There's rarely deeper meaning, even if people love to search for it.
Not that there needed to be. Some better jokes would've been nice, though. No one likes the Randy weed farm sub blot. In fact, back when that got introduced is pretty much where the show started falling off.
