What You Missed About “South Park’s” Harry And Meghan Takedown

“The Culture’s Pulse” is the best show to keep its pulse on culture.South Park.”

This long-running series denigrates both the Right and the Left. You better duck if you get in the show’s crosshairs.

Ask John Travolta and Tom Cruise.

So, when Comedy, Inc. declared Prince Harry und Meghan Markle out of bounds, the show’s braintrust acted fast.

“South Park” Just uncorked “The Worldwide Privacy Tour,” An episode mocking the couple’s glaring hypocrisy. They insist on sharing their private lives, but they don’t want to be kept in the dark.

• Documentaries
• Tell-all interviews

It’s a comical slam-dunk. “South Park” took no prisoners.

This episode received a lot of press coverage and that was for a good reason. Why don’t we talk about the show’s other, equally ripe subject?

Victim status.

Subplot: Kyle attempts to rebrand to make himself more acceptable at school. Butters recommends a branding consultancy firm, but the name is too vulgar for us to mention.

Kyle’s consultant shared a list of brands that could be considered. He could be a vegan or someone who enjoys the outdoors.

Each option had one constant persona: the victim.

The episode’s genius is in how it made it easy for viewers to understand the meaning and use of the word. There are no lectures or attempts to explain why victimhood is so important in today’s culture.

We all know this, regardless of whether we are willing to admit it. Without saying a word, the comment is juxtaposed with the royal couple.

The couple slumbers in VictimhoodThey are not, despite their wealth, fame, and privilege. They’re not the only ones. The culture is flooded with victims seeking to be recognized.

“South Park” It doesn’t allow it to get trapped in an ideology bubble. This is why it thrives. It is not dependent on the Left or the Right and can hit as many juicy targets as it needs.

Prime example?

This show was about the woke revolution, before many people understood its insidious nature. “PC Principal Final Justice” The episode debuted in 2015. It featured a social justice warrior running amok. The episode’s principal dude-bro ruled South Park Elementary with an affable fist. [Warning: Adult Language]

The word “woke” Although it wasn’t fashionable eight years ago PC Principal’s aggressive strategies proved to be eerily in tune with the times.

Words can be violence! Punch a Nazi (and anyone we hate is a Nazi).

The warning was ignored by society, but it didn’t matter.

Our lust for victimhood is our target. “South Park,” Another indication that the show hasn’t yet jumped the shark.
