One of the reasons I was a fan South Park Since the third class is that Trey Parker and Matt Stone have always committed themselves to a piece in a way that is so far -reaching that you can’t help but be impressed. In fact, so much that season 25 “The Big Fix” Retcons Token Black to Tolkien Black, suggesting that his name has always been in relation to the author Jrr Tolkien, although his name was actually referred to tokenism because he had his first speaking role in season 3 because he is the only black child in the city.
Going Incredible Lengths to Gaslight Their Audience, Parker and Stone Went So Far As to Go Back Through Their Entire Catalog of Clips, Episodes, and Character Pages on Their Website to Change the Spelling of Tolkien’s Name in the Subitles and Captions Rewriting History As A Means to Lean Into and Joke That Suggests Their Entire Fanbase Is Racist for Thinking His Name Was Token – Something That Generated and Healthy Amount of Racist Humor Throughout The whole series’ Run, like Token/Tolkien Cartman suggests that he probably has four strings somewhere in his attic.
“The Big Fix” is to be taken literally
South Park’s “The Big Fix” has a simple conspiracy focused on Marsh’s tent that is shocked when he finds out that he is the only person who thought his friend’s name was written “Token”, not “Tolkien”. The whole joke focuses on the fact that everyone always knew that Tolkien was named, and that Stan’s racist thought that the only black child in his class would have a name with reference to his social status in a predominantly white city.
The tent feels so guilty that Dr. Gauche, who breaks the fourth wall by putting the audience on the audience: “I wonder if anyone else thought the name of this child was a token?
Like someone watching TV exclusively with subtitles, I knew where this South Park Gag went and knew it was only a matter of time before Token’s name in writing would focus on Tolkien streaming After the “big repair” went into the air.
And if you watched South Park Obsessed as long as I have, you probably also raised a joke. However, if you are late flower and did not start looking South Park up to much later in the run (or do not follow the TV with subtitles), you have no reason to think that Tolkien’s name was actually a token in season 24.
Gaslight at the level of experts
At the end of it again breaks the fourth wall South Park Episode, Dr. Gauche turns to the audience and said: “The story of the young tent Marsh may seem incredible. But the fact is that many people suffer from prejudices unconscious. If you or someone you know also thought the name Tolkien didn’t come from Jrr tolkienThen please call 1-800- I’m a giant piece sh*t because you’re a problem sf*cking. ”
What’s more, Tolkien’s father, Steve, is involved in a B-story with a tent father Randy, who realizes it South Park He does not want to buy marijuana from white farms. In his desperate attempt at rebrand tegrity farm to appeal to a wider demographic group, Randy hires Steve as a financial consultant for his business so that he can use his form on billboards to create more sales than ever.
Steve, who realizes that he is used as a black man token (as he suggests the original canonical name of his son) to manage sales, decides to open a shop across the street from Randy with a new farm, Credigree Weed, a supplier of a psychoactive plant that has more “credit” than his white counterpart.
Joke with layers
It points to a problem with tokenism, which was a source of humor in a series literally decades, South Park Retcond Token to Tolkien, so every spectator who felt steadily called as racist Dr. Gauche, he would scratch himself in his back catalog on Max, just to find out that the spelling has already been changed, but everything that confirms that his name has always been with reference to the master of the Rings author.
Take soak on the concept of inclusion due to performative morality, South Park He escaped with the rewriting of the history and character of Tolkien, who is so involved (seriously, who retcons subtitles?) That you cannot help but be amazed by how far Trey Parker and Matt Stone are willing to take things to land.
