The episode scheduled for Appromised to resolve the mystery, but was in fact an April Fools' Day joke on the creator's part: " Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus", an entire episode revolving around the two title characters. What follows is arguably the most meta thing South Park has ever done, as the teacher reborn embarks on a fourth-wall-breaking quest to retrieve his students and confront those cannibalistic paedophiles who are supposedly controlling our lives.The first season of the show concluded with the episode " Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut", broadcast on Comedy Central in the United States on February 25, 1998, and had a cliffhanger ending regarding the identity of Cartman's father. The Vaccination Special sees him return to his old teaching job, acting as if he hasn't just spent the last four years sending the country to hell – literally, in some cases.īut with parents taking their kids out of school for their own safety, and instead having them home-tutored by QAnon conspiracy theorists, Garrison is faced with an empty classroom. However, now that Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States, South Park has managed to regain some of that satirical freedom by reverting Mr Garrison back to his original form. It was funny for a bit, but since it was practically impossible to make a more ridiculous character than the real-life person, the satire suffered and a significant chunk of the show was forced into a predictable corner.

Partly responsible for this was the ongoing gag that Mr Garrison, the kids' former school teacher, had morphed into a President Trump parody, complete with Tangoed skin, puckered lips and terrible hair. Which actually sounds like something South Park would come up with.) (The far-right conspiracy that claims that a secret group of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic paedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring while also plotting against Donald Trump during his time as president. The kids, meanwhile, are last in line for a jab, but they're being infected with something else entirely – an insidious dose of QAnon Theory. In their 45-minute ' Vaccination Special', the adults of Colorado’s most screwed up mountain town resort to desperate measures to get their COVID-19 shot, all while the already-vaccinated pensioners party in the streets and mock anyone without immunity. And, like the rest of us sitting around doing nothing, they've even had time for a bit of self-reflection. South Park's latest episode is a thunderous return to form for the series, proving that creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone haven't lost their satirical edge over this past miserable year.
