Well, that was something. Mr. Hankey was always one of my favourite characters but this episode fell flat for me outside of the PC Babies. Everything with the PC side of South Park is so on point I can't help but laugh always. Great ending to this episode though.

Favourite part was "Sometimes PC babies don't even know what they are crying about."
Halloween was a good episode as well. South Park does such a good job of capturing what being a kid used to be like, and then ramming the now a days technology/approach/general feeling into it.

The new Al Gore Manbearpig episode was glorious, they apologized to Al Gore for originally making fun of him, and the scene at the Red Lobster of the arrogant man talking to his wife is about the best way to mock climate change deniers I have ever seen lol

I still find it hard to believe Trey and Matt were climate change deniers. I always figured they were just having fun but the evidence is convincing. They’ve clearly made a number of anti global warming jokes thru the years. And now with the apology to Al Gore. Seems obvious.
This week's episode was pretty cringey. Apparently anxiety disorders aren't actually a form of mental illness but are really just an excuse to be lazy and act like an ####### to people.
Yeah... kiiiiiiinda missed the mark there.

Aren't those pretty much the exact words the therapist uses when he diagnoses Cartman?

I loved the episode. Just like I don't take the PC babies as representing everyone who complains about injustice, I don't take the Buddha Box users as meant to represent all cases of people with anxiety. Obviously, not everyone in South Park is meant to have real anxiety issues, but people who have antisocial behavior connected to their technology stimulation addiction would happily use the Buddha Box as a way of validating their unhealthy behavior. I think it's a commentary on antisocial phone use, not a commentary on people with anxiety disorders.
Perhaps you're just being a PC baby
