dude I'm loving this. South Park is my favorite show and it's really important to me, and your opinions on the show are always insightful, so I would love it if you kept this series going!
This was great. The language of South Park really does best when it's characters accurately yet absurdly mimic real life arguments and struggles. I really would love more South Park breakdowns. I would love to hear your take on manbearpig. Especially once I found out most of our soy actually goes to feeding livestock.
I really do appreciate the cleverness of “Eat, Pray, Queef”, unfortunately for me (back when I had access to basic cable) this episode seemed to be on a lot & i ended up watching it too many times, I kind of got sick of it haha I did read your SP spec, it was very well done I really enjoyed Cartman’s constant escalating references of canceled celebrity skins in Fortnite (a different one every time & it hit every time) & the tech giants studying Black Mirror to get new ways to make money while ignoring and/or missing the horror of it (it strangely makes me want new Black Mirror episodes)
jared, honestly, opinions for sale is an awesome episode! i'm a huge sp fan, and your script hits all the notes perfectly. i really hope trey and matt read it.
Hey Jared, did you ever think about breaking into comic book writing? It would seem like a much easier path to go on with your own writing than relying on Hollywood to recognize talent.
Awesome deconstruction of some of the greatest bits man. Do you think Matt and Trey heavily consider the philosophical ideas behind these or just happen to come by them when venturing into the obscene?
I think it's a mix of both but probably more the latter. I think Trey is just naturally a thoughtful guy and his mind will drive him towards socially relevant content even when he's just trying to think of funny obscenities.
It gets a bigger problem in comedy especially stand up comedy. The male perspective overtakes anything else to the point that a female comedian will be considered "not funny" if the jokes are at the man's expense. Which South Park has been guilty of at times.
@@JaredBauer One bit of feedback though. Token has never really been an activist before, it feels a little out of place for him to suddenly care about such a cause. I feel like there needs to be more narrative buildup and justification for him to be the one championing Crab peoples' welfare, or else have it be someone else that'd be more in character for.
It's funny... Although on an intellectual level I agree that that ought to be the case, I don't respond to queefs the same way I respond to farts. I don't find queefs funny. Call it social conditioning, but just because I can recognize it doesn't mean I can elevate myself above it.
The older I am the more frustrated I am with South Park. Still watching it, still liking it, but they constantly tackle these big ideas and social issues and they almost never even hint at a potential solution, disguising their inability by comedy and farce. not saying they are obligated to do it, but at what point it is clever and satisfying to satirize something without the catharsis of some kind of synthesis.
Because the real world doesn’t have right nice answers to make you feel better. It does try and convince you everything is alright so you can be a good consumer, South Park’s mission statement isn’t to tuck you in at night.
@@willc3900 I am not saying I need nice cosy answers. I am just saying I am not getting ANY answers to the topics they bring up. Basically every episodes trying to communicate something more serious ends up with something like - you're fucked, have a laugh. Which works sometimes, and it worked for me for many years. The frustration comes from me, not from the show.
@@martinzyka6432 I believe there was a Wisecrack video that talked precisely about the political shortcomings of irony and its inability to create something new in place of everything that it destroys and mocks.
@@martinzyka6432 "We were keeping our eye on 1984. When the year came and the prophecy didn't, thoughtful Americans sang softly in praise of themselves. The roots of liberal democracy had held. Wherever else the terror had happened, we, at least, had not been visited by Orwellian nightmares. "But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision, there was another - slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. "What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information.

Matt and Trey generally don't want to tell people what to do or what to think. They aren't propagandists, (nothing wrong with those who are, necessarily) they're entertainers. Occasionally they'll point out that soy consumption and fossil fuel use are destroying the world, and the kids don't want the world destroyed, but the adults are reckless and hedonistic. The point in that instance is that both perspectives reflect the creators' existence in the world; they want the human race to survive and they want ice cream. It's up to you to decide, as an individual, what you value more highly.
@@aaronwebb1548 I am not buying this. South Park is very far from being some kind of neutral mirror of the world where you as a viewer have to decide what to do, what is wrong, etc. Matt and Trey very often show and tell us what is wrong, what is laughable, pity, worth of ignoring etc. They DO use every cinematic tool to tell you precisely what to think (remember ManBearPig who wasn't real? but become real after Matt and Trey realized they were just plain wrong about that? - How is that not telling you what to think? That wasn't reflecting some position in the world, that was the creators stating they opinion and telling you what is true irl). No, it's far from it. South Park always does everything to point out a problem, they show you the problem from different angles, tell you why they think it's wrong and what behavior and incentive structure feeds it, and then they let you exist with it - because most of the time the solution requires political action.
Oh, nevermind. He already talked about it on KDigitals, that went totally under my radar. I only heard quick mentions about it in Unsafe Space and Punatulkut.
As a person whose only experience of this episode comes from this video, I think the episode seems to have a major flaw and it’s kinda obvious: everyone farts so I don’t understand how it can accurately be used to depict men’s comedy. This makes it seem like it’s saying men’s comedy encompasses everyone well female comedy encompasses women.
@@NoBody-ro5vv I don't know, at least around me and specially growing up, I definitely feel people were more inclined to take farts and fart jokes as acceptable coming from man and just "eww" or befitting coming from women. That ties with the point made about the difference between how man and women are "allowed" or at least expect to perceive and portray their own bodies etc. Also, a big point of the whole thing, from the pov of Jared's discussion but also of the women in the episode, is that queefs and farts should be viewed as pretty much the same and that - the distinction shouldn't matter, so the fact that everyone farts shouldn't matter too much either, because the relevant distinction is not in the action, but in who does it.
@@user-sl6gn1ss8p idk when I was growing up I was always told it was impolite to fart and that it was unprofessional and not to do it. So I don’t understand your perspective. I also think when people laugh at gross out humor it is a shaming technique your laughing at the person not with the person. Like here’s an example when I was still in high school I took an ap calc exam I was the first person to arrive and a home school kid took the seat in front of me. And this kid let it rip the whole exam near constantly the people who laughed were at me being forced to sit behind this guy for the entire exam and the unfortunate circumstances I found myself in but after we met up in class people were talking about how disgusting he was. No one was like it’s okay he is a guy so I don’t think anyone who says men are allowed to fart are just making it up. Another example when my parents were still dating my mom got mad when they were at a restaurant and thought my dad was farting. (It wasn’t him it was actually the person behind them) To queefs and farts I think it’s odd though because he said it represents comedy well everyone farts not everyone queefs which makes an odd message. So women humor encompasses women well men’s humor encompasses everyone? Like if the idea was to show women aren’t allowed to be disgusting or something why not make them fart? Because they have done that and people found it funny and no one cared it was a woman. Then they change it to queefing which is fine we can find humor in their reactions but I don’t think it actually expands to reality as they have made women fart previously and like I said people found it funny. So if we take the message as women should be allowed to be gross then I would say that’s a forced message.
@@NoBody-ro5vv so our experiences may be different, but what I meant was not that farts were always treated as "ok" coming from man, but that men, specially older men, could get away with making them into a purposeful joke way easier. That's what I've seen around me, but I don't really have any data other than that to back it up, and might also change from location to location and time to time. Still, I think if you suppose the show/jared comes from a read closer to mine, than you can understand using queef instead of fart as having two advantages: 1) it serves as a marker between male/female; 2) the characters can - and do - point out how there really isn't much of a difference and that both things should logically be treated the same, driving the point that the problem is who, not what. Of course, they may also have just though it would be funnier : p So all in all, I can't see why you would not identify, but I don't think the distinction is a problem.
Queefs aren't funny because they sound a lot less comedic. They sound really creepy and gross. Not to mention it isn't funny because air escaping from a vagina is nasty, from my perspective because I'm gay and anything to do with vagina is nasty, and from straight guys, vaginas aren't very whimsical at all and not as easy to find funny. Farts aren't funny from girls either because girls are not gross like guys and it just doesn't fit with their image. We don't see girls that way in general but guys are naturally goofy and dirty, so coming from a guy it just sounds hilarious.
never found fart jokes funny and queer jokes are no different. Always thought it was dumb how adult animated shows always have to include the obligatory fart jokes. Never been funny.

Been lov’n your new vids man. Keep it up
I think you struck gold here dude. More of this and I suspect your viewer count will soar the numbers you deserve. (Just my opinion).
One day, I'll remember not to watch South Park related videos when I'm eating
Right after watching this, my 7 year old daughter farted on me and we both had a good laugh over it. This confirms I am raising here well.
Indeed!
I now pronounce this episode "fart and queef.'
Hey Jared, hope you're well!
Hell yes - S tier south park episode reviews please!
Hey Jared, did you ever think about breaking into comic book writing? It would seem like a much easier path to go on with your own writing than relying on Hollywood to recognize talent.
Please tell me you are going to touch on "Make Love, Not Warcraft". That is my favorite episode, and will always be close to my heart.
Oh hell yeah. As an ex-WoW player, of course.
I want as much South Park content as humanly possible, please
I’m all here for the South Park content, there’s not enough of it on RUclips
Awesome deconstruction of some of the greatest bits man. Do you think Matt and Trey heavily consider the philosophical ideas behind these or just happen to come by them when venturing into the obscene?
I think it's a mix of both but probably more the latter. I think Trey is just naturally a thoughtful guy and his mind will drive him towards socially relevant content even when he's just trying to think of funny obscenities.
Fun hanging out again
The reason I didn't love the episode was the whole sub-plot with the queef sisters and Terrence and Phillip.
Jared can you please make a video about Benedetta Paul Verhoven last film.
It gets a bigger problem in comedy especially stand up comedy. The male perspective overtakes anything else to the point that a female comedian will be considered "not funny" if the jokes are at the man's expense. Which South Park has been guilty of at times.

Farts and queefs are both funny. South Park is both the best social commentary and the most hilarious show.

@@JaredBauer Fair enough. You can't intellectualize your way into finding something funny. I don't think that I've even heard that many queefs haha.
