I need to check it again, cause I don't remember off the top of my head what the season was. I did all of South Park though. Caught up on it these last few days.

@alyx

I'm referring to the episode where Stan starts seeing and hearing everything as being shit and cures it by starting to drink alcohol.

I think it's Trey and Matt subtly telling us they really can't give much of a shit anymore.

Still appreciate their efforts.

@alyx

Ah was wrong. It's a season 15 episode. "You're getting old." Subtle but not subtle.

@nerdman@kiwifarms.cc @alyx@gameliberty.club that was basically wen south park took a shitdive in quality. only recently tegrity farms has brought the quality back a bit

@shit @nerdman
Tegrity farms was ok, but I think they overdid the weed thing. Still, the Pandemic Special was hilarious.

@nerdman
Oh, that one I remember quite well. I guess I'd interpret it as an admission that their work isn't that good anymore, but they're still going forward while accepting that they can't reach the same standard.
I don't remember money being a big theme of the episode, so it's harder for me to see it as "we're still doing it for the money".

@alyx

Yeah, your take probably more accurate than mine. I love Trey and Matt. And we are getting older.

@nerdman
I recently saw a clip of the episode, and I think it was Kyle that gives Stan the advice to keep going forward by taking a left turn instead. This I see as an admission that the show can't really continue in the same formula, and they need to change things around a bit. And after that we can indeed see some season wide themes being introduced for instance.
