| Review | - But that’s only one of many disparate subplots that has to reach some kind of satisfying conclusion in just one more episode’s time. What about the Member Berries? Where the hell did Hillary Clinton go? And like everything else, the Cartman/Heidi relationship still gets steamrolled by “Not Funny”’s dud of an ending. I suppose one could defend it as being slyly metafictional—this idea of everyone’s inability to stay away from the internet leading to all of us getting trolled all the time, even by the show itself. But as I said, that feels like a copout. South Park has proven time and time again that it can do better than the rehashed “gotcha” moment. Hopefully next week’s finale will get away from this conceit, which seems to be turning into the default strategy for the season.
- South Park has been pretty darned consistent this season, and "Not Funny" was no exception. This episode defied its title as it lampooned President Garrison, dredged up Mr. Slave, brought Kyle's mom back to her vengeful roots and showcased Ike's potty mouth. Even the troubled Cartman/Heidi storyline picked up quite a bit. The concern is that the season's hot streak won't hold in the finale. Can such a weird, dense season be properly resolved in only one episode? Or is it better to hope that viewers are about to be trolled as hard as Denmark itself?
