  • You guys ready, ready and throw the stinky butter at them?

  • Yeah, ha ha, You stink Now.

  • Turner from its effects on small businesses to the dilemmas it's caused with reopening schools, the special covers quite a lot of ground.

  • However, being that it is South Park, it also takes time to ridicule the situation as a whole, notably poking fun at the habits we've adopted since the pandemics inception.

  • Yeah, that's good social distance.

  • Really good.

  • In the end, the special hilariously emphasizes that Covad, 19 is changing the way we live our lives and likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

  • Hence why?

  • It remains a recurring theme in South park.

  • Granted, South Park hasn't always taken climate change very seriously.

  • Look, it's really none of your beef with Jimmy, Tim.

  • It it's that bad because maybe I don't have what it takes to win without it.

  • Despite Timmy's qualms, Jimmy continually justifies his actions, arguing that most athletes do this sort of thing anyway.

  • Although his performance is enhanced, the steroids take a drastic toll on Jimmy's personality and relationships.

  • South Park, maybe a comedy.

  • But this episode, at certain points gets surprisingly dramatic and downright uncomfortable.

  • Fortunately, Jimmy learns his lesson by the end, thanks to Timmy and inadvertently Cartman.
