South park needs Christmas episodes!

[GargantuaVirus]

I remember the good old days where south park had Christmas episodes which took the piss in very funny ways and had awesome characters (Mr Hanky and Santa)
But now, WTF? No more Christmas episodes from the past 2 seasons and none this year. Do they hate Christmas or something? I know Christmas can be a bit stupid with childish episodes but south park does it in really funny ways.

Does anyone agree?

It's probably some sort of meta-commentary on the commercialisation of Christmas, and how Western society seems to become completely absorbed in Christmas excesses for at least four weeks straight. But commentary be damned, I still want more Christmas episodes.

No kidding - I miss Mr. Hankey

But we need Chief and his salty chocolate balls for Mr. Hankey to be around.

The Christmas Critters episode was the only good christmas episode. I can't stand Mr. Hankey.

Mr. Hankey can eat shit and die. Never liked him. Never!
But Chef was the man, man. Oh well.

mr. hankey is one of the worst characters in the show.

Except this concept of hating on Christmas commercialism has been around for decades. It was even in the old Charlie Brown Christmas specials.

I don't watch South Park but I can only assume that whatever Christmas episodes they had had plenty of references to the commercialism of Christmas. That's just the type of show it is.

So that doesn't really sound like a valid reason at all for them to not have Christmas episodes. The show was made to criticize culture. Not making an episode because of a piece of criticizable (yeah that's a word) culture just doesn't make any sense.

But that's what makes it meta, bro.

i'm like kind of with mc Stigs on this one sort of. they are criticizing culture by dismissing this concept that's seen as a tradition for TV shows. i take it as a statement really. everyone's doing christmas episodes and the nonconformist nature of south park doesn't support the idea of a bandwagon ride. thank random deity to Parker&Stone, there's at least one TV show that doesn't contribute to the revolting overabundance of christmas.

then again they probably just ran out of ideas and rather than recycling the same stuff again they've decided to do something irrelevant to christmas.

Sounds more like just laziness with a pretentious excuse.

South Park is still on the air? Haven't watched that in five years.
