I didn't like the season much overall, but the finale was great.

We're going to kill him with kindness... but instead of kindness we'll kill him with guns!

This season had it's moments, but I wasn't a fan of the overall arch. Season peaked for me when Randy was being hassled for charitable donations.

Please just drop the PC thing and relegate PC Principal to the Principal Victoria role.
It was a great episode - bashing the gun issue but weirdly not bashing it - but the idea of making PC Principal a hero in the end irked me. And then to keep him on? Guh.

I guess in the end they still showed to be kind of an hypocrite with his speech.But he is porbably not going to be 100% bad guy,probably about 85%

They seemed to hint that the story arc will continue into next season. I'm not sure where else they can go after sentient ads, unless they instead focus on Garrison's Presidential campaign which is more likely with the election next year. I'm ecstatic that not only did PC Principal pull a face turn, but also they decided to keep him on. He's the best new character they've had in ages and is utterly funny so I'm glad he gets to stay. I can't remember the last time in any other show where a new character added to a show managed to breath so much new life into it.
Great season and great finale.

A good season undone by a supremely underwhelming final two episodes.
I was generally fine that last week's episode wasn't good or particularly funny, because I knew it was a building block to the season finale. Kind of in the way that you know how a movie like "Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" isn't really going to achieve much because it's only purpose is to set up "Part 2". But then the season finale came along and about midway through it I was saying to myself, "They took a good story idea and put way much effort into making it a whodunit thriller to the point that they sacrificed the humor".
I watch "South Park" to laugh, but I found myself not laughing during the final two episodes because they really weren't funny, because in a sense they weren't trying to be funny. They put all their eggs into making people ask questions about how the season would end, how PC Principal would be undone, etc. and didn't deliver any sort of pay-off.
Again, I thought this season was largely very solid. It was a renaissance for "South Park", especially for a viewer like me who hasn't actively watched the show in almost five years. But I don't think I'll get the bitter taste out of my mouth from these final two episodes until the new episodes air next spring.

Meh, I liked this season. I've wanted to see SJWs get reamed out for a while.
It's thanks to them that people think I got my job not because of my accounting and business qualifications, or the 4 years stressing out at university and sometimes forgetting to eat because I had work to do, but because I have boobs.
Or that Caitlyn Jenner is a hero just because she came out, when people like Laura Jane Grace have been going for trans rights for years, and my fiancee works every day at looking better just so maybe one day people will stop calling her a "tranny faggot" in the street.

I really enjoyed the season as a whole, and am happy PC Principle is staying around. Its a small thing, but I became fully sold on his character late in the season, during 'Sponsored Content', when he was trying to get the rest of the PC's to focus on getting people to stop marginalizing what they were doing and all then kept bring up was crushing. His sad "NOOO" at the end of the scene really made me believe he at least 100% believed everything he said compared to the other guys, and that was endearing.
Craig and Tweeks yaoi episode was my fav, because there was so much terrific fan art.

The first comment sounds like plain old misogyny, and the second comment is just the societal hive mind latching onto celebrity causes as always. Neither of those have a thing to do with SJWs. Anyway, a decent enough finale; the plot and overall message was muddy and not wholly satisfying, especially given the time invested, but man there were some good gags. The gun stuff in particular was wonderful.

Y'know, despite her being part of the least popular famous family since the Hiltons

sigh............ this season imo wasn't too funny.............. there wasn't even a conclusion to the story Well it Garrison and Jenner is probably going to be the bulk of next season sataraizing the 2016 election and it would be too silly to drop that storyline a year before the election really picks up. Plus Trump's continuing popularity probably has something to do with it since Garrison is pretty much satirizing him. But that was one of the best seasons and I'm glad South Park has been shaking up the formula the last two seasons. South Park was becoming way too complacent in it's lets do an episode last minute on whatever is current right now creating more misses than hit episodes. Plus PC Principal has really grown on me and South Park needs some new characters since almost everybody has been done to death to already.

A poor season over all imo. No stand out episodes and no really hilarious moments.
I look forward to Garrison becoming their Trump punching bag, but over all.....I think they've hit another plateau

Especially City Part of Town.

PC Principal is not a Chef Replacement, but there was a void when Chef left and PC Principal is the first thing of meaningful substance to address that void.
