Episode 677 – If South Park Got You? You Made It!

Joe Biden is breaking the Constitution. And falling up stairs again.

The television show, South Park, is rocking the Internet this week.

And one of the strangest couples in America celebrates an anniversary.

 

The Old Boy’s Back

Joe Biden had a busy weekend though it is not clear what he accomplished by going to Ukraine. The only thing that seemed to be accomplished is China has decided to join up with Russia.

Prophetic

There is something that you have to give pop culture. They know what is going to happen in the future. Usually, the funnier the show, the closer to reality the story ends up being. Let’s not forget it was The Simpsons that said Donald Trump would be President.

South Park is another show that makes fun of culture and usually is able to call out the future.

A South Park clip from over a decade ago was just funny then. Now it seems prophetic. Listen:

To catch you up on this important social experiment that is South Park:

  1. Mr. Garrison, a grade school teacher, was a straight man.
  2. He then became a gay man.
  3. He then became a trans woman who like men. Which means he was a straight woman.
  4. He then began to like women, becoming a lesbian.
  5. He then had his penis reattached, becoming a straight man.

This clip went viral. Can you think of anything more true than this clip.

Speaking of South Park.

Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes

I never talk about Prince Harry and Megan Markle for a reason. They are stupid, woke, boring and the are (or were) part of the royal family in England. We won a war against England so we can make fun of the royal family or, simply, not pay attention to them. Call it my dirty little secret but I do pay attention to them. That’s because those two are pathetic, especially Prince Harry.

Well, I’m not the only one who thinks so. According to Fox News:

 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry like to think they are just regular people, you know, you and me trying to figure a way through the minefield of life. 

We know this, simply because they were honored at the recent Ripple of Hope Award Gala, which they picked up for racism within the Royal family no less, Harry produced this lame joke that he and Meghan were having a “date night,” as with two children this was an opportunity to get out and enjoy each other’s company. Then he laughed like a drain with the audience.

This came off as a pre-rehearsed and badly executed plot to show Harry and Meghan’s fun, playful side, and my how we have missed that from Harry, right? It flopped badly, along with the fake laugh that Meghan offered and was so rehearsed.

That’s true. Those two are like a bad drama on CBS or whatever channel that stupid show Megan Markle was on. Anyway:

Things then took a turn with U.S. chat show kings, like Jimmy Kimmel, attacking them, and worse, making fun of the brand of Meghan and Harry. Why? Well, according to the ex-royal’s team, it’s hurtful and spiteful and, above all, they are not in control of it. 

They have a brand? It must be generic because they seem like the standard woke crap we see everywhere.

As we saw in the dreadful Netflix docuseries, Harry, if possible, is at least a better actor than Meghan. Mostly in the dramatic scenes with Beyoncé calling. Remember that Oscar-winning hand throw, and that now-infamous text from his brother, William? The way he held the phone directly to his wife was pure theater. 

So why, when this fodder is campier than a late-night Joan Crawford movie, they can’t laugh at the recent lampooning of them with the cult adult comedy “South Park” remains a mystery.

You know you’ve made it when South Park goes after you.

Harry and Meghan should and will be “very concerned” about their celebrity status in America. After being royally laughed at by the satirical cartoon, it shows really how far they have fallen.

The latest episode showed the “Prince and Princess of Canada,” a young royal couple who are begging for privacy while drawing attention to themselves time and time again in a hilarious, spoof-like way.

The flame-haired prince and his wife, who wears the exact-same dusty pink outfit that Meghan donned for Trooping the Colour in 2018, are desperately plugging the prince’s book – “Waaagh” – the cover of which strongly spoofs Harry’s bestselling memoir “Spare.”

The episode is filled with cutting digs at the Sussexes, with the show’s star, Stan, branding their cartoon equivalents the “dumb prince and his stupid wife,” while another character, Kyle, complains about the private jet parked outside their home.

It’s beyond cruel, but again, it’s also very funny, depending on your humor. Now it appears that the ginger one, along with his wife, former actress Meghan, are not quite laughing along with the rest of us. According to sources close to the ex-royals, it appears that, like so many things with Meghan and Harry, this may have legal ramifications attached.

I am a huge South Park guy. I am dying to see tis episode.

Apparently, the pseudo-royals are really upset about this and are talking to lawyers to figure out what their options are. The South Park guys, who have insulted everybody, said they have made sure this episode was legally solid. With all the crap they’ve done in the past, never have they lost a case, I’m sure they know they are in the clear.

Not to mention, they are in the clear. Public figures are always free game as long as things made up. Things in this episode were only slightly exaggerated. Everything they brought up has been covered by the media! The private planes and climate change crap, the racism crap and the “I want privacy but look at me” crap.

You know what would have rekindled Megan Markle’s career? If she had offered to voice the Prince Harry character. Oops! I hope I didn’t step over the line.

OK, Weird

In Allentown, Pennsylvania, a couple named Tony and Frances Toto celebrated their 57 year anniversary. That’s a long time but why am I bringing this up?

Prepare for a weird story. According to WFMZ Channel 69 News:

The year was 1983. Tony and Frances had four kids and a pizza shop, but then Tony strayed from the marriage, and Frances found out.

What happened next is like something out of a movie. Hollywood thought so, too, turning the Totos’ troubles into a feature film called “I Love You to Death.”

While not everything in the movie is accurate, Frances did hire teenage hitmen to help her try to kill Tony five times, including failed attempts to blow up his car and attack him with a baseball bat.

One night, Frances put a bottle of sleeping pills in Tony’s food and then the hitmen shot him.

“Twice, one in the back of my head, and one of the bullets went right through my chest,” said Tony.

“I don’t think I was thinking straight,” said Frances. “It was like it was like a love-hate kind of a thing.”

Because of the pills, Tony’s system slowed down. He was in a daze and said he didn’t feel a thing, believing Frances when she told him he had the flu.

After five days, the police found out about the plot and arrested Frances and the teenage hitmen.

Tony spent 12 days in the hospital. The first thing he did when he was discharged was bail out Frances.

“We both cry and we say to each other, ‘You know, from now on, let’s talk. Let’s talk. Let’s communicate better,'” Tony said. “Something that we should’ve done before, so that was what was missing.”

Tony and Frances said that tearful moment was a new beginning for their relationship, and to help them stay on track, they got counseling.

But Frances had to pay for what she did, spending four years in prison. Frances and Tony talked on the phone every day.

Turns out the movie, “I Love You to Death” came out after she was released from prison. The two were invited to premiers around the world.

The couple said they do not talk about the situation publicly anymore.
