I think that this episode felt like a classic episode that came from Trey and Matt’s personal experiences because I have a hunch one of them bought a Japanese toilet and decided to do a whole episode around it lol
Idk about it being a classic episode, you know they usually approach a subject while having satirical takes on both sides of it. However this does feel like an iconic episode where we see an issue through the scope of Matt and Trey's POV
When Stan was giving his speech in front of the town, I looked at the time and got pumped thinking we were getting a two-parter, but Randy's "Bro! I got shot!" felt like a classic SP trolling the audience with their ending. Lmao. Three great episodes so far. B+ tier for me

You should put some effort into changing that campy-ass song at the end of your videos. No matter how good your videos are I always walk away mad I had to hear even a single line of some disney-esque show theme song.
@bloonb0i Actually it's not. It's all true. TP is actually really bad for you, and even worse for the environment, using TP can, in fact, cause hemorrhoids, and a Bidet is actually better for your health and hygiene, it's definitely not a metaphor. And we Americans are really the only ones who use TP for that purpose anyways.
@@sleazymeezyThis, this guy gets it. I hate that kinda bs, it's so annoying. I love Johnny's vids, even if I disagree with his takes here and there, but the god-awful music at the end, it's like a garbage hiphop/rap thing that's super self-referential, it's cringe to the max.
7:33 I think it actually shows that despite all the crap Randy pulls, he still cares about his family. He already understood that trying to rebel will put you in danger (he and Jimmy) so he’s trying to make sure Stan, who is putting himself in the exact same position as Randy, doesn’t die
It's kinda the same respons in the streaming wars when he finds out that manbearpig killed one of the streaming services, the first thing he was scared of was that Stan had helped them and might be targeted. Not that he had his own streaming service.
It's kind of a weird middle ground they're trying to find with Randy. They really don't want to let go of Tegridy Farms but also are getting him into antics that aren't weed-related and are keeping Nelson around too. I don't know how to feel about it, especially after Streaming Wars 2 teased us like that.
I’ve seen it’s rumored that Matt and Trey might be joining the cannabis industry, so I think it’s probably good for their marketing. I do miss randy the geologist tho :(
Think this episode handled it well. It's a successful business that he genuinely loves doing, so he has no reason to quit it, but it isn't getting shoved in our faces with constant weed jokes and he's very much acting like Randy first and foremost. That said, for posterity, on the MACRO level I find the concept of the Tegridy half-season a few years back downright hilarious. I genuinely think it was funny as hell that they saw everyone getting pissed off at one-note weed joke episodes, week by week, and then followed it up with another one for six straight weeks. Doesn't mean I'll be revisiting those episodes any time soon, but it's classic Matt and Trey that they did that.
I always hated going to home improvement stores. Probably because when I moved into my house as a kid i had to stay there for hours until my parents finally found the perfect kitchen sink or something.
Reminds me of going to paint stores with my mom to pick out a border for my room. In like 2 minutes I'd pick out one I liked. But my mom would insist I stay 3 hours on like 10 different trips before I could select one. Which would ultimately be the first one I found anyway lol.
Something I've noticed is consistent since the Cartoon Wars saga and honestly probably earlier is that, whenever SP gets REALLY tongue-in-cheek sarcastic about a moral (this ep, 201, etc), the point they're making is "threats of violence and other extreme punishments against the advocates for a cause and their loved ones genuinely do work to silence it, and we think that's absolutely abhorrent." Honestly makes me hope that they do an episode on stochastic terrorism type stuff.
What is PR other than brand affirmation and cultural legacy... So, what makes advertisement and large box store messaging any different than small scale coalition building? Status quo, that's all it is.
I love the eerie and suspensive atmosphere that the second half of the episode has 😂 Also, the idea that Randy's proctologist run out of business just because ONE of his clients (Randy) doesn't need him anymore freaking killed me 😂
What I saw in this episode was an analogy between Big Oil (Toilet Paper) and alternative energy (Japanese Toilets), specifically Tesla IMO. When Randy is shopping for a toilet, the salesman asked if he'd like to take one of the Japanese toilets for a test drive while holding up car keys. This was the most obvious comparison to me. After Randy bought one, all he wants to do is show it off and try to convert everyone else to get one (like many Tesla owners). He even makes an argument of how it pays itself off in the long term due to savings on TP and Hemroid cream; many Tesla owners also make this point as well by comparing the cost of gasoline to how much money it takes to charge their car. Additionally, Randy being assassinated is also reflective of conspiracy theories that say people have been created alternative energy sources to oil for close to 100 years now and they have all been silenced and their technology destroyed by "Big Oil"; I don't buy into these theories too much, personally, but it seem like another point of conjecture for the analogy and the episode.
This fundamentally works for *any* large businesses which profit from antiquated technology. Tires for instance have no reason to pop, the industry just uses old model tires because there would be no profit if you only had to sell people tires once. In theory, if cancer could be cured, then billions of dollars would be lost out of the hands of a few. The fucked thing is, its good satire because its so true. Violence really solves everything, and who is more well-positioned to hire an assassin if someone introduces a novel, progressive technology besides fabulously wealthy executives?

this episode ended a little differently than I expected. I figured Randy would go back on things but I thought it would be cause the toilet paper companies offered him a huge deal to make hemp toilet paper. not cause he got shot.
It would be funny if they offered him to buy his weed to sell hemp toilet paper. And also would show how sometimes silencing someone means offering them cash, furthering the commentary
They really are getting stronger with the emotional elements of the show and making the characters all feel like a family again in a way I’ve NEVER seen from previous seasons. They keep making it a point to show them supporting each other and I’m really enjoying that now.
This episode definitely subverted my expectations. I thought the episode was gonna be bland, but that second half was so shocking, it made me think it's teasing a bigger plotline akin to the advertising plot from season 19. This episode might be my favorite of the season.
I liked it because at least Randy is learning better. That said, are you all shocked they're going after the TP companies? One of their most popular episodes involve them TP'ing an Art Teacher's house, the Covid episode scenes have them panic buying toilet paper. They also had an abundance of literal fart and crap jokes. This was coming to the logical conclusion that not only did humanity use too much toilet paper over the years, but they also used to much toilet jokes.
Except ot wasn't that, it was a genuine shot at TP. TP really is that bad, this episode wasn't exaggerating at all, and we all really would be better off without TP.
@@mstr293 So I don't live in the USA, but from a quick google search and some calculations, it turns out I'd save the equivalant of a 100 USD if I stopped using toilet paper. If my whole household did it, that's 300 USD. And that does not sound like much, but a medium bottle of water costs the equivalant of half a dollar, so this is like 300 liters of water. Or 40 McDonalds meals (burger + fries + drink). Or three months worth of electricity. Basically, it's nothing to scoff at.
@@JanisFever That dose does not make it a good product for our buttholes. Toilet paper is a known contributor to anal fissures, hemorrhoids, staff infections of the anus, and even rectal cancer. Not to mention the cost difference. You can get a sprayer bidet for $30. Buy up a bunch of brown face towels to dry with for another $30ish and never have to buy toilet paper again. I have had mine for just over a year now. Every aspect of that part of my life is better. I have also saved quite a good chunk of money this first year.
If this is the bar for a good South Park episode anymore than the series is dead. The episode was awful and the whole season so far has just been a drag to try watching
I think the reason you experience dread from those stores is because the only reason you are there is likely because you have a lot of work to do with something wrong in your house or something you need to build, install, paint etc.
Honestly it felt like a great episode because it's stupid to attack tp but at the same time genius to show people about the benefits for bidets maybe not as expensive as Randy's but still good
1:29 I might be crazy in the opposite way: I really love home improvement stores. Just walking around looking at stuff makes me feel calm. Even when I have no idea what something is used for.
My wife and I have been using a manual bidet for years now, we only use toilet paper to dry off. It's really great! Funny though, last night I watched a video of an American who came to live in my country for a few years, and the very first thing that he mentions is that he doesn't need to be so stressed out anymore about which of the 40 brands of toilet paper to buy.
i think this is just an attack on major corporations as a whole, since they will do anything to destroy the competition, as they did with randy in this episode
The funny thing is the camera industry went through the same thing with digital photos. They made such ungodly amounts of money off of rolls of film that they did everything they could to keep the knowledge of digital photo technology quiet for as long as they could. The military had access to that technology for like a decade before the rest of us because of this lol
Fun fact: in the uk, the premier of the new episode was 10pm, the south park block was 9pm to midnight. The first episode on the block was the OTHER randy toilet humor episodes. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
"The word “brunch” was coined by British writer Guy Beringer in an 1895 article in Hunter's Weekly. He argued that instead of the post-church early dinner that was typical in England at that time, there should be a hybrid of breakfast and lunch served around noon for “Saturday-night carousers” to enjoy." then in the early 1900s it was popularised as a meal on Sundays to help deal with hangovers from the night before - of course it became popular when beer was involved - then Americans took it and turned it into what it is now
Yeah, unless you didn't use TP, since it's objectively bad for you, and instead use the shower, or a bidet. Then it was funny, watching the crazy TP users go insane.
What's funny though is that they aren't wrong. Everything they said in the episode was pretty spot on, we're the only ones who still use toilet paper for our bums, it doesn't actually do the job at all, and a bidet would be overall better for our hygiene and cost us less in the long run.
1:42 yes but only because I worked night shift in one as a teenager while being severely understaffed. A whole warehouse sized store with only 3 people stocking heavy parts, machinery, and tools alone.
I really loved this episode. I've loved these last 2 seasons to bad they're held back by horrid streaming deals so we didn't just get 6 new episodes every year.
I think you were off on Randy's motivations at the end. He was in fact a big believer in axing toilet paper. The whole "Say you're sorry, South Park!" was meta commentary in the same vein as the end of Trapped In The Closet when Stan's having the "WE'LL SUE!" "SUE US THEN!" exchange with Scientologists.
One of my friends told me, “If you got some shit on your arm, you wouldn’t just wipe it off with dry paper” and nothing has ever made more sense to me.
I know it sounds weird, but i’ve dealt with this whole “Japanese/fancy toilet supremacy thing”, namely the whole bidet culture. Hell, one of the early toilets with the controls on the side we see is the same model my folks have. I’ve tried it, didn’t like it. Never dried me properly so either I dealt with a wet spot on the underwear, or it dried too much and caused other issues for me.
Eew... rather get some wet spots than leave some leftover crap in my butt. Towels exist for a reason. Ffs, try removing ice cream stains with TP alone and notice how you'll still feel some sticky part in your hands, which is why washing your hands with soap and water. That's what's going on with your butt each time you use a TP.
Note... Don't get a 40 dollar Bidet... Spurge for a 200 dollar heated seat with heated water. The Air is not a pleasant experience, dry with some Quality TP! -and you wont get shot by the charmin bear- I suppose if you're in like Cali or Florida where tap water is 80 degrees, then a 40 dollar seat would do. The water is currently 42 degrees out of the tap, great for filtered water, not so great for sensitive areas.
Better, dry with an actual towel. If you got hot water bidet'd, you should be clean, and TP can still cause all kinds of negatives, even if just used to dry. A soft towel is better overall.
Definitely agree with the message of this episode. BTW, even if you don't have a bidet, taking a shower straight after is a big improvement over normal toilet paper use.
This, that's what I do. I had a surgery a decade back, and the anesthetic messed me up, my body went haywire, and I got some nasty hemorrhoids as a result, but after I stopped using TP, about 4 years back, they cleared right up, I started using the shower after the toilet, instead of TP, and the results speak for themselves, not only are things more pleasant in that area, but I genuinely feel cleaner and healthier for it too.
I feel that way too, there was this one time when I was young where I went to one with my aunt and had a overwhelming dread over me, my theory, maybe it’s something to do with the way the wood smells, idk, I could be very wrong 🤷♂️
I've had the exact same conversation about "Big Toilet Paper" with some of my friends. My mom doesn't like cartoons, much less South Park. It's just difficult for her to consume animated media due to its style and voice acting (Ghibli movies being the one exception). I showed her this episode and she just laughed because "This is literally something that I've heard you talk about." It made the episode so much more enjoyable. I've loved the new season so far. It's difficult for me to watch a lot of South Park episodes just based on content and how characters within the show react to certain situations (I'm autistic, and have a very strong moral code and a suprising amount of empathy for fictional media - not real life though. I literally couldn't watch Ferris Beuller as a kid because seeing him break the rules made me so sick to my stomach I almost threw up, because I couldn't help but imagine all the people he was screwing over) but so far I've been able to handle and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the episodes of this season. I can't wait for the next ones.
@@AmericanPsychoz seriously? So does whipping count? Oh hell they probably do and never wipe. I once knew this kid back in middle school he was special needs couldn't talk and wore a back brace. He smelled like he never whipped
The thing I dont get is... unless a toilet is literally broken... it's just a big ceramic mechanical system... it doesn't wear out. New Wax Seal, new Gaskets, New Flushing mechanism New Seat, Maybe a bidet seat... and a good cleaning... will make any toilet new.
I'm not sure what's more amazing, the fact that this episode is a classic Randy story executed in a very hilarious way, or the fact that I felt I was genuinely being educated by the show when watching it. Also I love how it basically validated my life style of always washing my ass with soap and water instead of using toilet paper, as I thought I was maybe weird for prefering to wash my ass, but it seems I was actually taking care of my but with the superior, healthier metho.... OH WAIT, PLEASE DROP THIS GUN, I'M SORRY, TOILET PAPER IS AMAZING, I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID PLEA (gun shot noises) hello this is totally the owner of this comment speaking, I just came here to say that I'm totally not dead, but I'm deleting my youtube account and all social media accounts forever, bye.
One tip - no soap. Some parts of the body have their own microbiomes, and soap can be catastrophic to them. Things like your butt, foreskin, and vagina, as examples. Simply using water is acceptable. Now, if you've got stuff there that isn't natural, like silicone lube, then that's another story, soap is necessary, but unless you're gay, that's not an issue you should face in the butt region. If you're intact, lube isn't an issue either, as you won't need any. And if you gotta use lube in that vagina, she's probably not that into you bro.
No. I tried a bidet toilet 1 time and it just sprayed cold ass water right on my nuts at a force that didn't hurt bad but it definitely stung. come up with a paper substitute im not making my taint and balls drip every time i need to take a shit. That's even more unsanitary.
I thought the episode was pretty bad. It was poorly executed with really clunky dialogue and bad plotting. Also, what’s with the voice acting this season? You can hear Matt and Trey’s age in their voice acting and it doesn’t sound good.
I think the reason you might feel discomfort--or dread--visiting a home improvement store (such as Home Depot) is because there are usually wood enthusiasts and hobbyists there who spend quite a bit of time there, know where everything is, what every little part is for. I wouldn't say I felt anxious, but I definitely felt as though I'm just here to get light bulbs... and I wasn't sure which I needed 😅 so I brought my dead ones to the store. I just wanted to get out asap. There's nothing wrong with not being a woodworker or hobbyist involving home improvement. Just remind yourself it's a store like any other 😁 Also, great video :)
I'm a plumber and I have installed these fancy toilets several times. I want to learn exactly what the Japanese people said so I can do that when I am installing 😂😂😂
IDK what it is about home improvement stores, but they all give me a feeling of "I wanna get out of here" as soon as pull in to their parking lots. Its a similar feeling I have for Wal-mart, but I know it's a combination of whiny kids/aisles full of already opened items/long lines at checkout. But the home improvement stores have neither one of these, so yeah. This maybe something to ask my therapist😆
Ever since i have heard from the glorious Japanese toilets decades ago i am in awe. sometimes i forgett about them, But as soon tempretures drop and winter comes i will be reminded about them. And then the harsh reality of a cold toilet seat touching my buttox sets in. Why do we have so primitive toilets why? why cant the Japanese model just be the norm for all of us? its just not right. Watashi wa hei adesu Toire ni irukara Kimochi i
I can also relate to being overwhelmed with dread when entering home improvement stores. I'm not entirely sure why but the atmosphere of a home improvement store feels like it saps away my very soul.
I think this was a metaphor for broader corporatism. The idea that we could have far better services and lifestyles for the average person if corporations didn't hold so much sway.
So, the algorithm blessed me with your content and I have binged pretty much every video since 🫠just wanted to drop in and say your content is sick & I can’t wait to hear more from you ❤ xo
All I can say is I once used a Japanese toilet at a fancy company in London. It was exactly like Randys, the seat lifted for me, there was ambient lighting, and it was just amazing. I will get one, mark my words.
I think this is the best way for the SP team to manage the whole Tegridy Weed thing. Have Randy run his business but do not revolved the entire thing just about that. Weed doesn't have to be his whole personality.
I think that this episode felt like a classic episode that came from Trey and Matt’s personal experiences because I have a hunch one of them bought a Japanese toilet and decided to do a whole episode around it lol
I fully agree, definitely felt like a classic episode and I’m all for it
or ots a metaphor :p
Considering trey really appreciates japan and Japanese culture. Most of the Japanese in the show is done by him.

One of their most popular episodes involve them TP'ing an Art Teacher's house, the Covid episode scenes have them panic buying toilet paper. They also had an abundance of literal fart and crap jokes. This was coming to the logical conclusion that not only did humanity use too much toilet paper over the years, but they also used to much toilet jokes.
Except ot wasn't that, it was a genuine shot at TP. TP really is that bad, this episode wasn't exaggerating at all, and we all really would be better off without TP.
Did you know there was a car that ran solely on water? The guy that made it soon died and the blueprints to his car was taken. We all know who did it.
my bad cuh
Yeah it isn’t that big of a deal tbh. We know how the water fuel worked and it was very inefficient and thus isn’t a viable replacement anyway.
A car can’t physically run on water alone it needs something to help create energy to make the water make energy

Dont forget, before he died he spat out his drink and exclaimed "they poisioned me!"
This episode educated me on how bad toilet paper really is. Like, 70% of the world doesn't actually use it. 31 million trees are cut down to make it
Plus the average person using 140 rolls per year.
@@johnwiesner9590 How much is a roll there?
@@mstr293 So I don't live in the USA, but from a quick google search and some calculations, it turns out I'd save the equivalant of a 100 USD if I stopped using toilet paper. If my whole household did it, that's 300 USD. And that does not sound like much, but a medium bottle of water costs the equivalant of half a dollar, so this is like 300 liters of water. Or 40 McDonalds meals (burger + fries + drink). Or three months worth of electricity. Basically, it's nothing to scoff at.
I work in a paper mill and we've been getting out wood from the same forests for the last 140 years, it turns out paper is a renewable resource
@@JanisFever That dose does not make it a good product for our buttholes. Toilet paper is a known contributor to anal fissures, hemorrhoids, staff infections of the anus, and even rectal cancer. Not to mention the cost difference. You can get a sprayer bidet for $30. Buy up a bunch of brown face towels to dry with for another $30ish and never have to buy toilet paper again. I have had mine for just over a year now. Every aspect of that part of my life is better. I have also saved quite a good chunk of money this first year.
In the 1960s, one American had made a company tried to sell bidets but they were so unpopular they not much were ever sold in the US.
Actually, he was killed, and bidets were demonized, but sure, let's go with "they were unpopular"
This episode was a classic haven’t had an episode this good for awhile
Yup makes it mid tier
The pajama day episode was also extremely classic feeling
This episode sucked
If this is the bar for a good South Park episode anymore than the series is dead. The episode was awful and the whole season so far has just been a drag to try watching
@@just_right9642name like 3 bad things about this episode
I think the reason you experience dread from those stores is because the only reason you are there is likely because you have a lot of work to do with something wrong in your house or something you need to build, install, paint etc.
I've started looking forward to your analysis of each episode just as much as the episodes themselves!
I personally really liked the episode. I got a lot of laughs out of it and it almost felt like it was building to something a bit more substantial.
This episode was so weird. I can't decide if I liked it or hated it.
For me its just a perfect mix of both
Honestly it felt like a great episode because it's stupid to attack tp but at the same time genius to show people about the benefits for bidets maybe not as expensive as Randy's but still good
Same it was funny but like half of it got soo weird
I loved it.
Having Jimmy in the episode is always a plus
I personally enjoyed it so far this season is just like it was back in the day no story base just fun and funny South Park is back
ok south park simp
If it was like old South Park then it would actually be a funny and entertaining episode that isn’t a drag to get through
1:29 I might be crazy in the opposite way: I really love home improvement stores. Just walking around looking at stuff makes me feel calm. Even when I have no idea what something is used for.
My wife and I have been using a manual bidet for years now, we only use toilet paper to dry off. It's really great!
Funny though, last night I watched a video of an American who came to live in my country for a few years, and the very first thing that he mentions is that he doesn't need to be so stressed out anymore about which of the 40 brands of toilet paper to buy.
As a Home Depot associate myself, I now can’t walk past aisle 15(our toilet aisle) without looking for our Japanese men
I really loved this episode, I think this might be my favorite so far together with the episode 2 Worldwide Privacy Tour.
Blooms: *encourages his viewers to buy and install a bidet in their bathrooms*
Me: *laughs in spanish*
i think this is just an attack on major corporations as a whole, since they will do anything to destroy the competition, as they did with randy in this episode
No, it was pretty blantantly at TP specifically, and it's good that at least SP has the nuts to stand up to Big TP.
The funny thing is the camera industry went through the same thing with digital photos. They made such ungodly amounts of money off of rolls of film that they did everything they could to keep the knowledge of digital photo technology quiet for as long as they could. The military had access to that technology for like a decade before the rest of us because of this lol
Fun fact: in the uk, the premier of the new episode was 10pm, the south park block was 9pm to midnight. The first episode on the block was the OTHER randy toilet humor episodes.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
"The word “brunch” was coined by British writer Guy Beringer in an 1895 article in Hunter's Weekly. He argued that instead of the post-church early dinner that was typical in England at that time, there should be a hybrid of breakfast and lunch served around noon for “Saturday-night carousers” to enjoy."
then in the early 1900s it was popularised as a meal on Sundays to help deal with hangovers from the night before - of course it became popular when beer was involved - then Americans took it and turned it into what it is now
Back in 2020, a roll of TP went to $50 a roll. Dark times.
Yeah, unless you didn't use TP, since it's objectively bad for you, and instead use the shower, or a bidet. Then it was funny, watching the crazy TP users go insane.
What's funny though is that they aren't wrong. Everything they said in the episode was pretty spot on, we're the only ones who still use toilet paper for our bums, it doesn't actually do the job at all, and a bidet would be overall better for our hygiene and cost us less in the long run.
Was anyone else half expecting Jimmy to reveal he used to be able to walk?
Definitely ha.
Nahh after the crips episode that would ruin his character a lot
"-for all you peasants-I - I MEAN, viewers.." GOT ME ROLLING 😫😫
This episode has huge references to the JFK movie. Randy is JFK, Stan is Kevin Costener, and Jimmy is Mr. X
I must say, I like your sense of humour (went back to that summoning salt parody too. Absolute gold!)
The most shocking part of this episode is that Jimmy had a bike
Maybe a subtle way of saying that they broke his legs
1:42 yes but only because I worked night shift in one as a teenager while being severely understaffed. A whole warehouse sized store with only 3 people stocking heavy parts, machinery, and tools alone.
I really loved this episode. I've loved these last 2 seasons to bad they're held back by horrid streaming deals so we didn't just get 6 new episodes every year.
I think you were off on Randy's motivations at the end. He was in fact a big believer in axing toilet paper.
The whole "Say you're sorry, South Park!" was meta commentary in the same vein as the end of Trapped In The Closet when Stan's having the "WE'LL SUE!" "SUE US THEN!" exchange with Scientologists.
One of my friends told me, “If you got some shit on your arm, you wouldn’t just wipe it off with dry paper” and nothing has ever made more sense to me.
That's because things touch your arm commonly, but things rarely go inside of your ass crack, and if they did you'd clean them.
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaa-b6wSh... Should I mention gay sex yet?
9:20 don’t ever stop the pip slander.
Loved it 😂 South Park is having an amazing season so far.
I loved this episode
They took a mundane subject as a broken toilet and turned into a f*cking global conspiracy and of course...Randy being Randy
I love you blooms ❤ you convinced me to start watching south park
I’d love to see the updated ranking for episodes! Great work as always!
This is my favorite episode in S26 so far. Hilarious.
The way this episode goes reminds me of the massive push that cigarette companies want people to stay away from vape
I loved this episode, it was so funny
1:42 Can’t say I have ever felt dread walking into one, outside of the time I went in for an interview which sadly didn’t work out.
I know it sounds weird, but i’ve dealt with this whole “Japanese/fancy toilet supremacy thing”, namely the whole bidet culture. Hell, one of the early toilets with the controls on the side we see is the same model my folks have. I’ve tried it, didn’t like it. Never dried me properly so either I dealt with a wet spot on the underwear, or it dried too much and caused other issues for me.
In Japan they still use toilet paper to dab and dry. I never used the blow-drying function haha. Problem solved.
Eew... rather get some wet spots than leave some leftover crap in my butt. Towels exist for a reason. Ffs, try removing ice cream stains with TP alone and notice how you'll still feel some sticky part in your hands, which is why washing your hands with soap and water. That's what's going on with your butt each time you use a TP.
Note... Don't get a 40 dollar Bidet... Spurge for a 200 dollar heated seat with heated water. The Air is not a pleasant experience, dry with some Quality TP! -and you wont get shot by the charmin bear-
I suppose if you're in like Cali or Florida where tap water is 80 degrees, then a 40 dollar seat would do.
The water is currently 42 degrees out of the tap, great for filtered water, not so great for sensitive areas.
Better, dry with an actual towel. If you got hot water bidet'd, you should be clean, and TP can still cause all kinds of negatives, even if just used to dry. A soft towel is better overall.
The JFK parody in this episode was genius, easily one of my favourite episodes.
Definitely agree with the message of this episode. BTW, even if you don't have a bidet, taking a shower straight after is a big improvement over normal toilet paper use.
Totally agree. I don't even take shits at work, I only do it at home because I feel so much cleaner taking a shower afterwards.
This, that's what I do. I had a surgery a decade back, and the anesthetic messed me up, my body went haywire, and I got some nasty hemorrhoids as a result, but after I stopped using TP, about 4 years back, they cleared right up, I started using the shower after the toilet, instead of TP, and the results speak for themselves, not only are things more pleasant in that area, but I genuinely feel cleaner and healthier for it too.
Didn’t mention Randy basically mimicking the Kennedy Family of South Park
Guys the one who shot randy has to be towlie. He comes from the paper industry😂
I mean, no? Towlie is a towel, not a paper towel, an actual towel. He's not paper is my point.
I feel that way too, there was this one time when I was young where I went to one with my aunt and had a overwhelming dread over me, my theory, maybe it’s something to do with the way the wood smells, idk, I could be very wrong 🤷♂️
I think the ending wasn't really Southpark apologizing to the toilet paper companies, and more of a set up for that "Love you forever honey", joke.
This episode was so interesting.. my favorite out of the season so far
1:30 Seriously? Walking into a Home Depot is like walking into West Edmonton Mall for me. It looks amazing!
I've had the exact same conversation about "Big Toilet Paper" with some of my friends. My mom doesn't like cartoons, much less South Park. It's just difficult for her to consume animated media due to its style and voice acting (Ghibli movies being the one exception). I showed her this episode and she just laughed because "This is literally something that I've heard you talk about." It made the episode so much more enjoyable. I've loved the new season so far.
It's difficult for me to watch a lot of South Park episodes just based on content and how characters within the show react to certain situations (I'm autistic, and have a very strong moral code and a suprising amount of empathy for fictional media - not real life though. I literally couldn't watch Ferris Beuller as a kid because seeing him break the rules made me so sick to my stomach I almost threw up, because I couldn't help but imagine all the people he was screwing over) but so far I've been able to handle and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the episodes of this season. I can't wait for the next ones.
Gnarly.
"Stan vows to 'Stan his ground'....
Love it! 😅
I never tried a bidet
It’s not bad if you aren’t homophobic
@@AmericanPsychoz the fuck dose that has to do with a bidet?
@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 some of them think if anything touches down there makes you gay
@@AmericanPsychoz seriously? So does whipping count? Oh hell they probably do and never wipe. I once knew this kid back in middle school he was special needs couldn't talk and wore a back brace. He smelled like he never whipped
@@AmericanPsychozthat’s not true I’m homophonic and I have a bidet
The thing I dont get is... unless a toilet is literally broken... it's just a big ceramic mechanical system... it doesn't wear out.
New Wax Seal, new Gaskets, New Flushing mechanism New Seat, Maybe a bidet seat... and a good cleaning... will make any toilet new.
I wish that were true, but there are actually things a toilet can't come back from. Cartman comes to mind.
I'm not sure what's more amazing, the fact that this episode is a classic Randy story executed in a very hilarious way, or the fact that I felt I was genuinely being educated by the show when watching it.
Also I love how it basically validated my life style of always washing my ass with soap and water instead of using toilet paper, as I thought I was maybe weird for prefering to wash my ass, but it seems I was actually taking care of my but with the superior, healthier metho.... OH WAIT, PLEASE DROP THIS GUN, I'M SORRY, TOILET PAPER IS AMAZING, I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID PLEA

hello this is totally the owner of this comment speaking, I just came here to say that I'm totally not dead, but I'm deleting my youtube account and all social media accounts forever, bye.
Not funny. Didnt laugh
One tip - no soap. Some parts of the body have their own microbiomes, and soap can be catastrophic to them. Things like your butt, foreskin, and vagina, as examples. Simply using water is acceptable. Now, if you've got stuff there that isn't natural, like silicone lube, then that's another story, soap is necessary, but unless you're gay, that's not an issue you should face in the butt region. If you're intact, lube isn't an issue either, as you won't need any. And if you gotta use lube in that vagina, she's probably not that into you bro.
You cray cray, I love home improvement stores.

You know I really respect how committed you are to commenting this on every single video
@@Bloomser Thank you sir, I appreciate your aknowledgement! 😊
@@Bloomser All of your videos have this comment?
No. I tried a bidet toilet 1 time and it just sprayed cold ass water right on my nuts at a force that didn't hurt bad but it definitely stung. come up with a paper substitute im not making my taint and balls drip every time i need to take a shit. That's even more unsanitary.
I thought the episode was pretty bad. It was poorly executed with really clunky dialogue and bad plotting. Also, what’s with the voice acting this season? You can hear Matt and Trey’s age in their voice acting and it doesn’t sound good.
I hope we get a prequel episode or a flashback on how Jimmy uncovered the TP affair
I think the reason you might feel discomfort--or dread--visiting a home improvement store (such as Home Depot) is because there are usually wood enthusiasts and hobbyists there who spend quite a bit of time there, know where everything is, what every little part is for. I wouldn't say I felt anxious, but I definitely felt as though I'm just here to get light bulbs... and I wasn't sure which I needed 😅 so I brought my dead ones to the store. I just wanted to get out asap.
There's nothing wrong with not being a woodworker or hobbyist involving home improvement. Just remind yourself it's a store like any other 😁
Also, great video :)
I'm a plumber and I have installed these fancy toilets several times. I want to learn exactly what the Japanese people said so I can do that when I am installing 😂😂😂
IDK what it is about home improvement stores, but they all give me a feeling of "I wanna get out of here" as soon as pull in to their parking lots. Its a similar feeling I have for Wal-mart, but I know it's a combination of whiny kids/aisles full of already opened items/long lines at checkout. But the home improvement stores have neither one of these, so yeah. This maybe something to ask my therapist😆
Ever since i have heard from the glorious Japanese toilets decades ago i am in awe. sometimes i forgett about them, But as soon tempretures drop and winter comes i will be reminded about them. And then the harsh reality of a cold toilet seat touching my buttox sets in. Why do we have so primitive toilets why? why cant the Japanese model just be the norm for all of us? its just not right.

I can also relate to being overwhelmed with dread when entering home improvement stores. I'm not entirely sure why but the atmosphere of a home improvement store feels like it saps away my very soul.
I think this was a metaphor for broader corporatism.
The idea that we could have far better services and lifestyles for the average person if corporations didn't hold so much sway.
Nope, it wasn't. It was just a blatant jab at Big TP, a bad corporate entity group that profits off an unhealthy and unnecessary product.
So, the algorithm blessed me with your content and I have binged pretty much every video since 🫠just wanted to drop in and say your content is sick & I can’t wait to hear more from you ❤ xo
Sorry bro but you are crazy, there is nothing better then going to a home improvement store with your grandad or dad
Loved this episode honestly. One of my favorites in awhile
I don't feel dread walking into home improvement stores but I do feel dread walking into shoes and clothing stores
Happy to see new vids thanks man 😏👌
It’s hype watching you and Johnny call each other out in your South Park videos lmao 1:02
It's so sad the entire work force behind this episode shot themselves in the back of the head 27 times each
"Bro, I got fucking shot." Is my favourite line of the episode. I really love this review, good job Blooms!
Wow, I love your content. I love that I got to see it so early. Keep up the good work!!!
What's surprising to me is that, according to this episode, toilet paper making damages the enivorment...who knew?
All I can say is I once used a Japanese toilet at a fancy company in London. It was exactly like Randys, the seat lifted for me, there was ambient lighting, and it was just amazing. I will get one, mark my words.
This episode was peak, and I will NOT change my mind about it lol
I used to hate home improvement stores, but now that I'm a homeowner, I feel like a kid in a candy store!🤣😅
Did anyone else notice how jimmy didn't stutter at all almost in this episode, which makes him sound like Cartman.
This whole episode is a JFK (1991) parody
I think this is the best way for the SP team to manage the whole Tegridy Weed thing. Have Randy run his business but do not revolved the entire thing just about that. Weed doesn't have to be his whole personality.
