Jimmy is the best, full proof you can have handicapped characters in your show, make entire episodes around their day to day struggles, and still write them as strong, independent and wise in spite of those struggles.
I love that part, and I don't even watch the show. But I just love how it shows how these so called "progressives" really work. They think that everyone HAS to listen and obey their ridiculous woke BS, but the second someone says no or defies them in some way, it all but shatters their world view.

@@colinmontgomery1956Have you tried looking in a dictionary for microagression? I know fact checking is hard for the anti woke crowd, but you can do it!
I loved Jimmy making PC Principal uncomfortable by suggesting he's uncomfortable around handicapped people. I kind of wish he had called out the Principal as well for telling him how handicapped people should feel about things.
In my experience, too many people who are aggressively anti-(insert type of bigotry here) are themselves projecting a level of insecurity or ignorance. Same ironically goes for bigots as well. That’s why it is important to know a diverse number of people-it keeps you from making harmful generalizations.
I’m happy that they use Jimmy to talk about understanding the freedom of speech. They show that someone who has a disability can understand why it’s important for people to use certain words (even if it is ableist or wrong. I like that they have him honor those principles.
0:58 I love the detail of PC Principal fidgeting with the stuff on his desk to distract himself from the moment. South Park can be both really out there and super realistic at the same time, I love it. I've been watching for 20 years now, half of my life. What a trip.
One scene that I love (it's not very subtle but it's still funny regardless) is when Randy tells Stan about "tells" when they are entering into the pinewood derby. Randy tells Stan not to look up and away, rub your neck or touch your nose, then he says "I love you Stanley" and looks up and away and rubs his neck 😂
I really love how they kept Jimmy as someone who is actually incredibly passionate and factual about the news from "Quest For Ratings" and still have that as a part of his character. Like the episode Matt and Trey admitted they made because "we had no ideas so we had to vent about that" actually is something that allowed a character to grow and show off traits that are still used later on.
@@CocoanutVA it's also like they've unlocked 3 stooges syndrome in terms of controversy. I don't hear anyone at all going after South Park anymore, probably because they've poked fun at basically everybody lmao.

Seriously, south parks grown a lot in the last decade, I remember being a kid and watching the first episode and pissing myself. Fun fact my nan actually bought me south park when I was 4 because it was in the kids section of a local charity shop
I’m autistic which makes me literally a sort of R word. I got banned from Twitter for a year for using that word. And not even in an insulting context. It hurts my heart to tell me I can’t use certain words.
I'm autistic as well and I got a pile on for using the word "insane" in what I thought was a pretty innocuous manner. Not calling a person insane, just using the word to describe an abstract concept. Something ironic about what I assume was mostly neurotypical people lecturing me on ableism.
Jimmy's gotta be one of my favorite South Park characters. He's awesome. It's quite ironic how a show that mocks anything and everything imaginable has better representation of a disabled character than most other media
PC Principal being oblivious of the irony of lecturing Jimmy about Handicapped people is completely 'spot on' for these sorts of intersectional authoritarians! "I am not uncomfortable around Handicapped people!" LOVED this scene!
I mean, this is anti-intersectionality but I get your point. He’s implicitly reducing Jimmy to a single category-heuristics, in another word-while feigning ignorance of his own latent bigotry.
To be honest, this really made me realize PC Principal is bias against disabled people since he thinks all of them are unintelligent. Just how he purposefully dumbs it down shows it. It's pretty hilarious
Sure you can. Retard and retarded are descriptive words. You can be mentally retarded. And when you insist we change the language to 'cognitively deleterious' or some other phrase, then guess what...we will start using that phrase as an insult too.
To "retard" means "to delay or hold back in terms of progress" so to call the lack of evolution in the cafeteria "retarded" is grammatically correct. It's only "offensive" once you put "mental" at the start.
culturally its now seen as a slur for people who are mentally handicapped, the technical definition of that word is no longer as relevant as the cultural use of the word, just like any other slur
In french: "Excusez moi pour la re tard" means "Excuse me for being late" Doctors also used the term as a medical description also for almost 5 centuries up until the late 80s /90s. But people these days think that by altering a word, that they automatically make an impact in the world & can feel good about themselves. "Hurray, we changed the term to "Handicapable" now, so that means that everyone in a wheelchair will magically be able to stand up now & start tap dancing" lmao The world is a circus these days....
That Jimmy reveal in the beginning is still the funniest South Park has ever had. I will die on that hill. *You gonna break his legs, PC Principal?*🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how PC principal won’t look at Jimmy in the eye or even learn his name, yet he’ll use his disability as something to make himself feel like a hero when he gets mad at others for saying that word
My uncle was a doctor, and he said it was so frustrating when society decided that "retarded" was a curse word. Because in the medical profession, it was always the word they used to describe people who were, well, mentally retarded! Telling a doctor he or she can't use the word "retarded" is like telling a gynecologist he or she can't use the word "vagina." There are other words that mean the same thing, but none that convey the meaning as accurately. But anyway, good job standing up for freedom of the press, Jimmy!
Reminds me of a yt short about a doctor getting a small talking too about writing "pussy" (as in the wounds were oozing of puss and were pussy) to describe someone's wounds in their medical perm record. And the older Dr being like "do you see any other way this might be taken?"
It speak volumens that i read "mentally retarded" and tought "oof, thats sounds a bit too honest" when in reality it was meant to be a medical term firm, yet the word got so tainted by it's missuse that i can't really picture it like so
I mean, i bet people were real frustrated when they couldn’t use the word Negro to describe black people but we got over it. Language and connotation changes over time.
moron, idiot, stupid, and imbecile are all words that "retard" replaced, because people would use them as pejoratives. it was only a matter of time before retard would fall victim (just this time, people are more socially aware of using slurs). Also, what condition does retardation medically describe that "mental disability" or " intellectual disability", does not?"
I was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder when I was very young, yet I have often laughed at jokes about ADD throughout my life. I find that people who get super offended about mental/behavioral conditions being used in a less than flattering way in conversation either live for political correctness brownie points or have an extreme victimhood complex. (usually both) I tend to just avoid people like that. You gotta learn to laugh at yourself sometimes. You know?
This whole script is brilliantly written. It completely turns the situation on its head because it shows how the whole politically correct white knighting has become a tactic to censor people in certain situations. the whole thing is a double edged sword, on one hand people may be offended by certain words, but on the other hand if you stop talking about a certain thing, then that thing becomes an after thought and in some cases it may be relegated as a taboo, plus not saying something doesn't mean that people don't think about said thing, and it's important to have dialogues about all sorts of topics because at the end of the day, it's understanding situations that allows people to correct and prevent mistakes, the same way as one learns history to learn from it's mistakes. enforcing censorship doesn't make something go away, if anything people will often develop interest for practices that are seen as taboo because that's the human nature! plus there is a whole problem with situations like this, because at the end of the day, it's all about diversity and it's a complex topic! people are both different from each other and they aren't! preferences and opinions have to be respect and often there are different choices for certain things and different interpretations for different situations as it's widely dependent on the point of view from which it's seen, with all that, at the end of the day, we are all human
Is PC Principal constantly asking "do you understand?" because the creators wanted to add in the nuance of him having the prejudice that all handicaps include some kind of cognitive disability? They animated in all the fidgeting, adjusting his desk, the uncomfortable placement of his hands in his armpits too.
He was originally going to be a one-time character in "Stunning and Brave", and was intended to be killed off at the end of the episode, but Matt Stone and Trey Parker liked him so much that they decided to keep him around.
What I love about this scene is that PC Principal could have actually made a point if he actually tried to. Jimmy may be a crippled, but he could've argued how he's still in no position to talk about how other people feel or think about the "r-word" and how it can affect them, yet he was more focused on being "inclusive and respectful" which made him discriminating instead. That's what happens to lots of leftist people. They become so focused on becoming advocates for every opressed group, that they don't even stop to ask what those groups actually think, because infantilizing and dehumanizing them is easier than to face the truth about themselves. I consider myself somewhat of a leftist, but PC Principal is a perfect example of what happens if you don't get your ego checked every once in a while

You don't need to put "mental" there to make it an insult. You can thank people that started to use it as an insult for it.
culturally its now seen as a slur for people who are mentally handicapped, the technical definition of that word is no longer as relevant as the cultural use of the word, just like any other slur
Phew! I thought Jimmy's legs were done for!
They always were
PC Principal's surprised tone at "what'chu say?" when Jimmy says "No"🤣

Depends on the context of “retarded” It could mean held back or slow.
that is a description of the lunch policy. All uses of the word are ultimately in that context.
no one ever asked chemicals what they think or feel about going through retardation process
In french: "Excusez moi pour la re tard" means "Excuse me for being late"
Doctors also used the term as a medical description also for almost 5 centuries up until the late 80s /90s.
But people these days think that by altering a word, that they automatically make an impact in the world & can feel good about themselves.
"Hurray, we changed the term to "Handicapable" now, so that means that everyone in a wheelchair will magically be able to stand up now & start tap dancing"
lmao
The world is a circus these days....
jimmy has more journalistic integrity than fox news
thats not a high bar
@@Isthatsimple fair
The shocking part is that there's people like PC Principal that face no consequences in the real world.
Hell, they’re practically running our entire society at this point.
Jimmy is a true journalist and takes his job very seriously! 😂
Just like he taking comedy seriously.
I like how pc principal's deescalated so fast
“South Park” has the best disability representation ever! Because they have thicker skin and great jokes.
That Jimmy reveal in the beginning is still the funniest South Park has ever had. I will die on that hill. *You gonna break his legs, PC Principal?*🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how PC principal won’t look at Jimmy in the eye or even learn his name, yet he’ll use his disability as something to make himself feel like a hero when he gets mad at others for saying that word
I have autism and was non verbal until I was 6. I use the word Retarded all the time.
Aren't you still non verbal?
No
@@ANDROLOMA I'm fluent in 12 spoken languages and 8 sign languages.
@@joebaumgart1146 And boast in all of them?
I'm autistic too, and use retarded religiously.
He reversed that shit faster than the uno reverse card 😂 jimmy typical W
My uncle was a doctor, and he said it was so frustrating when society decided that "retarded" was a curse word. Because in the medical profession, it was always the word they used to describe people who were, well, mentally retarded! Telling a doctor he or she can't use the word "retarded" is like telling a gynecologist he or she can't use the word "vagina." There are other words that mean the same thing, but none that convey the meaning as accurately. But anyway, good job standing up for freedom of the press, Jimmy!
Reminds me of a yt short about a doctor getting a small talking too about writing "pussy" (as in the wounds were oozing of puss and were pussy) to describe someone's wounds in their medical perm record. And the older Dr being like "do you see any other way this might be taken?"
It speak volumens that i read "mentally retarded" and tought "oof, thats sounds a bit too honest" when in reality it was meant to be a medical term firm, yet the word got so tainted by it's missuse that i can't really picture it like so
You can thank people that started to use it as an insult.
I mean, i bet people were real frustrated when they couldn’t use the word Negro to describe black people but we got over it. Language and connotation changes over time.
moron, idiot, stupid, and imbecile are all words that "retard" replaced, because people would use them as pejoratives. it was only a matter of time before retard would fall victim (just this time, people are more socially aware of using slurs). Also, what condition does retardation medically describe that "mental disability" or " intellectual disability", does not?"
If only all media had the same mindset as Jimmy.
PC Principal’s face when he sees Jimmy lol
I’m always impressed by how they used PC principle’s character for social commentary on the woke movement in this season.
Love it how Jimmy shuts him down by going “are you uncomfortable around people with disabilities? That’s okay lots of people are”
1:23
He thinks Jimmy is slow just cause he’s disabled
Very PC 🤣
I was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder when I was very young, yet I have often laughed at jokes about ADD throughout my life. I find that people who get super offended about mental/behavioral conditions being used in a less than flattering way in conversation either live for political correctness brownie points or have an extreme victimhood complex. (usually both) I tend to just avoid people like that. You gotta learn to laugh at yourself sometimes. You know?
This whole script is brilliantly written.
It completely turns the situation on its head because it shows how the whole politically correct white knighting has become a tactic to censor people in certain situations. the whole thing is a double edged sword, on one hand people may be offended by certain words, but on the other hand if you stop talking about a certain thing, then that thing becomes an after thought and in some cases it may be relegated as a taboo, plus not saying something doesn't mean that people don't think about said thing, and it's important to have dialogues about all sorts of topics because at the end of the day, it's understanding situations that allows people to correct and prevent mistakes, the same way as one learns history to learn from it's mistakes. enforcing censorship doesn't make something go away, if anything people will often develop interest for practices that are seen as taboo because that's the human nature! plus there is a whole problem with situations like this, because at the end of the day, it's all about diversity and it's a complex topic! people are both different from each other and they aren't! preferences and opinions have to be respect and often there are different choices for certain things and different interpretations for different situations as it's widely dependent on the point of view from which it's seen, with all that, at the end of the day, we are all human
Is PC Principal constantly asking "do you understand?" because the creators wanted to add in the nuance of him having the prejudice that all handicaps include some kind of cognitive disability? They animated in all the fidgeting, adjusting his desk, the uncomfortable placement of his hands in his armpits too.
Considering the point this character is driving home, I'm pretty sure that's the intention. Which is pretty cool detail.
we need someone like Jimmy to stand up against this woke agenda
And then we never get anything good like timmy or jimmy content sad
That "NO" was beast 😂
No I don't like PC principal I am sorry and i love the Old South Park season and very funny and very offensive 👍
I can’t stand PC Principal. Biggest douche bag character ever.
He was originally going to be a one-time character in "Stunning and Brave", and was intended to be killed off at the end of the episode, but Matt Stone and Trey Parker liked him so much that they decided to keep him around.
I like that later, he needed a spotter to help him out of the situation he dug himself into.
I love how Jimmy speaks
Thank you I need to see this again😂
His face after Jimmy said he didn’t want to condone censorship was fucking hilarious
What I love about this scene is that PC Principal could have actually made a point if he actually tried to. Jimmy may be a crippled, but he could've argued how he's still in no position to talk about how other people feel or think about the "r-word" and how it can affect them, yet he was more focused on being "inclusive and respectful" which made him discriminating instead.
That's what happens to lots of leftist people. They become so focused on becoming advocates for every opressed group, that they don't even stop to ask what those groups actually think, because infantilizing and dehumanizing them is easier than to face the truth about themselves. I consider myself somewhat of a leftist, but PC Principal is a perfect example of what happens if you don't get your ego checked every once in a while
Ah, you Americans and your "taboo words" concept...
