That episode was frustrating to watch.
-I was starting to NOT hate Randy as much this season but then they just completely ruined that. What the fuck kind of dad hires strippers for his 10 year old son? It's not edgy enough to be edgy and it doesn't have any basis in reality, it's just unfunny. Randy's idea of being 'masculine' is just being a drunk frat guy apparently. If they were trying to display what toxic masculinity is, they failed.
-Andrew Tate caught me off guard, and it COULD have been funny but they made him out to be some kind of dangerous criminal pimp that shoots cops and that's it. Look if they want to rip on Tate then okay, but they were such pussies about it. They didn't name him. Why? Because they might get sued? Whatever happened to "Fine, go ahead, sue me! I'm not scared of you?!" that was in the scientology episode? Or calling John Edwards a fraud? If you're not going to show some balls and go full on accusation, then don't have him in there at all or else it looks like a cop out.
-Stan and Tolkien playing 40K felt like the same type of interchangeable joke that they made fun of Family Guy for years ago. There was no thought put into it and you can tell it was rushed. Also, did Tolkien's dad somehow not notice that his son was over at a house hosting a 3-day long rage fest?
-No one cares about Rick. He's a throwaway character but the episode was set up in a way that we're all supposed to care about him and the relationship. I almost laughed at how rallying was being used as a metaphor for gay hookups, but they made it look like it was some sad thing that was going on. It ended with Rick taking him back and going 'yeah well, we'll see what happens.' Pointless.
-The part that I hated the most was how they brought Garrison back to putting on the Trump mask, and they didn't do anything with it other than shit on MAGA. Yawn. We get it T&M, MAGA sucks but when Garrison did this in 2016, he was saying talking points from that side (though exaggerated). But this time he's just "HURR DURR BIDEN LAPTOP" as if Republican complaints are all retarded. Would have been a perfect opportunity to make just ONE legit dig on Biden, and they didn't take it. At this point I don't think they ever will. Old SP would make fun of both sides, and over the years they went further and further to one side, but this just makes it undeniably blatant which side they're on. The rally storming the capital establishes it.
TLDR My reaction to this season finale:
