Review
  • Parker and Stone like to use stereotypes to prove a point, even when the stereotype in question is acknowledging how offensive they are, and some of the episode’s best moments come from the Kim narrative. As the presence of SoDoSoPa continues to push out the McCormicks, Kenny, along with an entire child-labor force of disenfranchised kids all too happy to work, picks up a job at City Wok. Even with his new employees in place, Kim’s restaurant is still floundering, so he tries to rebrand his neighborhood as its own yupster haven. But his commercial ends up being an unintentional inverse of the ads for SoDoSoPa, soothingly describing his product while the visuals expose the pile of greasy, deep-fried shit it actually is. At the same time, it’s no less valid than the lies being spewed out by Randy, Mayor Henderson, and everyone else behind SoDoSoPa. In fact, it’s probably a little more noble .
  • While Kenny's character-driven subplot felt like an afterthought, this week's South Park served up a clever commentary on gentrification -- most notably the SoDoSoPa ads. Granted, the main joke of renovating Kenny's house only had so much mileage in it, but it was still humorous enough for one episode at least.
