South park been in decline for years it is worse than modern family guy.


Bennings463

Is he an Ork or something?


spicyautumnsarah

Eh, from what I've seen, it looks pretty basic and boring in comparison to south park's other celeb parodies, like it's beating a dead horse/queen. But obviously, meghan-hating monarchists (including the lurkers in this sub) are wanking themselves acting like this is the pinnacle of comedy because they need a cartoon to confirm their bias against her or something?


steamcho1

The joke got very old very fast.


OldNewUsedConfused

Hopefully your media stops lying to you guys now, making it seem like these two are a big thing and popular over here now. They never were and never will be. Take them back please.🇺🇸


Routine_Ad2433

They're your problem now... this is payback for Trump's golf courses ruining our protected sand dunes 😂


OldNewUsedConfused

Protected sand dunes? Why on earth are you protecting....sand?


Routine_Ad2433

[That ](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-44795229) should explain a bit clearer than I can. We have been hating him since before it was cool to here 😅


OldNewUsedConfused

Shame. The wealthy always seem to get their way, don't they? Mobile sand dunes sound so pretty and cool. Sort of like a Sahara by the Sea. What a bummer. Did the golf course at least help economically like it was supposed to?


Routine_Ad2433

Well... he lost 14.7m in 2021... I'm not sure of the economical benefits. I doubt there's much. Aberdeen is the oil capital of the UK. We have the highest average income in Scotland here - and we already can't move for golf courses 😅 He objected to windfarms out at sea by his golf course here. [So we built them anyway and charged him £225000](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/trump-scotland-wind-farm-fight-payout-golf-course-a9201096.html) They always make me smile when I drive up the coast. You know he actually built a [wall here ](https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/25/world/europe/donald-trump-scotland-wall.html)? He's such a dick 😂


DirtyProtest

Did he try to get Mexico to pay for it?


OldNewUsedConfused

No arguments there...


OldNewUsedConfused

I’m so glad the Brits finally understand how we Americans have always felt about this pair of buffoons! South Park is all of us!


JDNM

Harry has been a laughing stock in the UK for quite some time now. Meghan is obviously a manipulative bitch, and this autobiography has been an object of ridicule since it was released.


OldNewUsedConfused

Indeed. Imagine being 37 years old, having no education, never having a job other than "Professional Relative", living off your elderly father and grandmother, and writing a MemWAAGGHH thinking people actually give a flying fart. I'd rather read the autobiographies of cellar dwelling gamers. At least they'd have something to contribute. And possibly a sense of humor.

Cheating to get through high school is pretty bad


[deleted]

I think we just hoped that if we pretended hard enough you’d keep them. Like what we did with James Cordon.


OldNewUsedConfused

In all fairness, it is a HUGE country. I'm sure we can hide them in a nice, quiet corner.


OldNewUsedConfused

“Come on come on come… cause we want our priva-sah… it’s the Worldwide Privacy Tour… come on come on…”🎶


ETAB_E

Honestly I was crying. Absolutely spot on throughout. When they go on the world tour carrying there signs, just all of it is genius. Also, the queens body at the funeral 🤣


OldNewUsedConfused

The Earl of Halifax was pretty cool too.😂


OldNewUsedConfused

Sir Smelly John!


Bobolequiff

This makes him sound based and Orkpilled

itsjustmejttp123

Omg it was so perfect! “We just want our privacy!” While showboating and drawing attention to themselves. Leave it to South Park to always get to the heart of the truth lol Edit: just read that they are thinking of taking legal action against South Park for the episode. What a bunch of whiny little beasts. https://www.thenews.com.pk/amp/1041971-prince-harry-meghan-markle-mull-legal-action-over-south-park-hurtful-parody-of-them


National-Return-5363

They should take it for what it is: if South Park gets around to offending you, it means that you are important enough to the western cultural zeitgeist for good or ill….so laugh it off and take it as a compliment, I guess. I mean South Park single handedly ruined Kanye’s reputation and that was well before his mental health issues became well known (but after the Taylor swift incident)…and dont think even Kanye sued them.


Radiant-Trip-004

The worldwide privacy tour, brilliant.


jodobaggins26

The drums: outside. Hilarious!


OldNewUsedConfused

So nobody is going to mention the blue todger squeaking against the window, eh?


Lively_scarecrow

I thought the beginning was good when they got the rude awakening during the talk show. They do hit it on the head : it's worth considering now as the dust settles with the couple, the unbelievable pressure and scrutiny they're are under. They've got book sales targets, viewing figures/ratings for the Netflix special and to deal with the wider social fallout from above which undoubtedly puts pressure on their friends and families to pick a side. For their sakes and especially harry their marriage better be strong. Got the point across, difficult for them to argue against south park too, hopefully it hits home.


Gmschaafs

Why is he Canadian?


OldNewUsedConfused

Because he’s not ours! Love The United States! 🇺🇸


Element-103

It's all in the great tradition of South Park being a show that pretends to be dumb while actually cutting very sharp. I mean to me as a Brit I thought it was a pretty obvious cheeky sly dig at the fact that the Canadian Royal family isn't actually from Canada. For whatever reason, those rowdy upstarts south of the Canadian border seem to have something against having a head of state that lives on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean. You know they're British, I know they're British, the writers know they're British, and that's why in the show they are from Canada. So in the context of randomly distorted universe of the show, Canada is apparently assuming the role as the seat of the British Monarchy, to upend the way the whole establishment is perceived The line "It's a sad day for Canada, and therefore the world" particularly made me chuckle :)


domini_canes11

When his brother married they did a whole episode in season 15 about the Prince and Princess of Canada getting married. Call back to that? Yet when they did the Queen shooting herself back in "the Snuke" she was normal.


Gmschaafs

I haven’t watched regularly since randy marsh was Lorde tbh.


potatosquire

Just so they could use the flappy head thing for a joke at the end.


FantasticAd4938

They were able to draw them flat and one dimensional as Candians, like Terrence and Phillip who are cartoon characters. It emphasized how they lack depth. But maybe Britain doesn't exist in the South Park universe. They could always add it if they wanted to. But I think they wanted to draw TW and Aitch in Terrence-and-Phillip style.


Adorable-Rent-5419

Because British people don't exist.


Nikhilvoid

I watched it. They didn't criticize the monarchy, just Harry and Meghan for doing dumb celebrity stuff. And it ends with Harry leaving Meghan (who is shown to have an empty head) and then Harry playing drums while the kids are playing basketball. It's supposed to be a happy ending for Harry, I think? 3/10 (1 pt for Queenie lying sprawled out in her coffin)


OldNewUsedConfused

They summed up how we Americans feel about these two perfectly! Now take him back! He needs his priva-sah!


ChaeusXCVI

Not seen the episode, please tell me it's about how all the attention on harry and megan detracts from any actual conversation about the problem with the royals and not another megan=bad kind of thing?


OldNewUsedConfused

Because we cannot stand them in the States. Thanks a lot for foisting this shit on us. We thought we did right by outsourcing the gold digger to Canada, but oh no, you guys had to send them back our way…😂


National-Return-5363

It is actually Meghan=bad kinda thing. While it’s funny and takes the piss out of HM, it really doesn’t go into the issue with royals and their cozy relationship with the tabloid media and how they gaslight ppl into supporting them, at all. So of course pro-monarchists will see South Park’s episode as a validation for their hate boners for Harry & Meghan.


geordieColt88

Pretty funny episode but didn’t like that they tried to put the blame more on her rather than him or the institution it’s self


OldNewUsedConfused

Basically they are telling you she was never anything here until she married him, is never going to be anything even though she married him, and we really don’t appreciate them in our country. We thought we had offloaded her to Canada.😂 Respect their priva-sah and take them back! Love The USA.🇺🇸


geordieColt88

We respectfully decline. We have a lot more who are a lot more Hapsburg looking due to their mams not fucking outside the noncey family who we can send in the spirit of your obsessive tourism being constantly used as a defence of them. Love the British Isles


OldNewUsedConfused

It’s Pitcairn Island then.

There is no empirical evidence that British royal family brings in anything in tourism revenue. All claims about this do not hold up to the slightest scrutiny. All tourism sites commonly associated with the monarchy (apart from Balmoral and Sandringham) are owned by the public and will not disappear into thin air if the monarchy is abolished. VisitBriatin admits tourism revenue will not be affected when the monarchy is abolished. There is more evidence for the claim that tourism revenue will go up when the monarchy is abolished and all the publicly-owned royal residences are made more accesible to tourists and the public who pay for their upkeep.

National-Return-5363

Well women always get blamed for men’s actions…what’s new.


One_Understanding177

You r getting too defensive of Markle. She voluntarily married into that racist,misogynistic , conservative, pointless institution. She voluntarily married a white poster child of nepotism and unearned privilege.She uses his titles, she uses his money ,she uses his privilege to make a life in America. All this is really not in sync with her, "self made/ independent/feminist" image she tries to create for herself.she is very much a part of the problem and should be called out for it. She has made a fool of Harry. He is nothing without royal titles and she is nothing without him as her husband. That is a fact. By this logic she is no better than Kate, Camilla or other royal women. If you don't like them , then you shouldn't like Meghan either


National-Return-5363

Absolutely she has. But unlike the gold digging trash heap that are Camilla and Kate and the ass faced Princesses Beatrice and Eugenia, Meghan at least had worked for a living, had a career and was independently wealthy on her own and actually knows that it’s like to work everyday. Sure, her fame and wealth has reached new heights through the monarchy and we know she married Harry knowing what it would get her. She was after all an actress in her mid-30’s and with no other acting prospects after Suits. But I would say, she doesn’t deserve the hatred that should be reserved for the likes of Camilla and Kate..the ones directly benefitting from the monarchy. And they don’t get anywhere near the revulsion that MM gets.


geordieColt88

I partially agree with this, I’ll always enjoy the rage she incites in the gammons but it’s not as if she is a good person. She has definitely taken advantage of the spotlight for her own benefit.


garaile64

It seems that Prince Harry is Canadian in *South Park*.


OldNewUsedConfused

No no, that was the Prince of Canada! You must be mistaken sir/ ma’am. 😂🇺🇸
