This was a very mixed season of South Park. There were a few clever episodes that made me laugh, but too much of it was either filler or an attempt to cash in on current events. Further, South Park instead of resolves shows by using surrealism/fantasy as an easy way out. For example, "Freemium Isn't Free" starts off as a humorous satire of "Free" online games but then turns into an absurd fight between Satan and a Canadian Devil to end the episode. And even their funniest shows, such as Mystery of the Urinal Deuce are often marred by dumb poop jokes, crassness, attacks on Christianity and surrealism (in a bad way). South Park is often thought as Anti-PC, but most episodes never stray too far from standard Hollywood liberalism. Season 18 is no exception. Football owner Dan Snyder is attacked for using the Redskins team name, while the underlying message of Season 18 is the need to accept Transgendered individuals.
