South Park again proves it's at its best when addressing gun violence

Comedy Central long-running animated series is usually hit and miss, but not when it comes to gun violence. The 2015 Season 19 finale that satirized America's obsession with guns was one of South Park's best-ever episodes, says Matt Miller. Wednesday's "Dead Kids" Season 22 premiere also showed South Park at its best, tackling the wave of high school shootings. "Last night’s episode wasn’t about one school shooting at South Park elementary school—it was about a lot of school shootings," says Miller. "I lost count because they were constantly happening in the background of the episodes—the students and teachers and parents carrying on their lives as if nothing is happening. In a rather mature move, we never actually see a child open fire. We never see the gruesome deaths of South Park Elementary School students. Instead, it’s just something that’s happening—an annoying hum—as the boys are all more concerned with failing a math test."

"Dead Kids" never manages to find insight or catharsis, ending instead on a darkly unsatisfying note

Butters holding a M16 as Hall monitor is hilarious
shareYep and they had two ways they could have gone with that and both would have worked just as well, the other being if it was Tweek holding it.
shareI second that comment! Butters walking around with an assault rifle while wearing a "hall monitor" sash was hysterical! I also laughed pretty hard when he was providing cover fire for Cartman.
Not their best, but decent episode, and South Park is still the best going of the classic animated comedies (Simpsons, Family Guy, etc.)
Also the Randy tryin’ to give hints with a red rag was quite funny 😄
