Call-Back: Stan groans out an exasperated "Oh no." when he realizes it's Michael Jackson possessing Ike, likely alluding to the last time the boys had to deal with him.The Bus Came Back: This is Michael Jackson's 3rd appearance on South Park.However, they're more pissed off that they have to wait even longer after they get to Hell than the fact that they're in Hell in general. Bittersweet Ending: Played for Laughs, all the celebrities are finally free from purgatory, only to go to Hell at the end.Big Brother Instinct: Kyle towards Ike.Age-Inappropriate Dress: Since the Little Miss Pageant was a child beauty pageant, this is a given.It turns out it's because the celebrities have been in Purgatory for months since Michael Jackson refuses to believe he's dead. Afterlife Angst: Ike begins seeing the ghosts of dead celebrities.Abusive Parents: One mother pinches her daughter's cheeks despite having cheek implants that makes it more painful while another slaps her daughter for losing the beauty pageant ( after she apologized for not winning).Unfortunately, their efforts to purge the ghosts only gets Ike possessed by a famous ghost who has unfulfilled dreams. They soon learn that the ghosts are haunting Ike because they're waiting in purgatory. What do you guys think? And I'm not interested in your personal opinion about MJ tbh, I only want to understand this in a logical, "bigger picture" way to understand why the creators went with this route.When Ike starts seeing ghosts of recently dead celebrities, the boys try to do everything that they can to help him. Understand that I can certainly take a joke and I f*cking love when they make fun of celebrities! This one I just can't get my head around and NOT only because I'm a fan of MJ! It has for example the BEST representation of people with disabilities, Timmy and Jimmy are f*cking heroes!Ģ: pretty much ALL of the media already mocked MJ for most of his life so what makes SP different to that then? Just not very "south-parky" for me that they just mock him for the same things that anyone can see in 99% of tabloids about him already? I expected more because if anyone wants to laugh at his looks they can go and read magazines□□♀️ It doesn't stand out, it doesn't make you think in any new way, I don't find it funny because it's nothing new,it's just re-hashing the headlines of tabloids so if they wanted to make fun of him in the intellectual way they usually do with everything else then I'll just say I expected more. Correct me if I'm wrong but they never made a mockery of someone's disease which is another reason I love this show. The episodes he was in whether as a hologram or as Mr Jefferson are actually greatly appreciated because no matter how much they mock his appearance,etc Troy & Matt are pretty f cking clear that they don't buy into the allegations (that are clearly false for money and Trey&Matt know this too) and I love them even more more because of that!īUT: my problem with mocking him in every other aspect is for 2 reasons:ġ: he had genetic skin diseases (vitiligo and lupus) beyond his control so fck sake just don't stoop to such tabloid levels as to bully someone over shit beyond their control,I can't recall episodes where did this with other celebs,it was always a mock of their behaviour rather than their looks. However I have conflicted feelings when it comes to the portrayal of Michael Jackson because I absolutely love him too and before you label me as a stupid obsessed MJ fan please know that I have a very high tolerance for people mocking him! I need to voice this before I say what I want to say: I F*CKING LOVE SOUTH PARK. My everyday life is literally filled with at least 10 SP quotes on certain life situations, I am absolutely brainwashed by this show and I love it and wouldn't have it any other way lol. I am a massive I mean MASSIVE South Park fan, been so for at least 20 years. Just read our announcement on politics found HERE.
