"Margaritaville" is the third episode of Season 13 of South Park.While not as strong as "The Ring" or "The Coon", it is still a fairly good episode.Season 13 is having a fairly good run so far, hopefully Trey and Matt keep it up.The episode goes back to spoofing current events.This one spoofs the economic recession that we are currently in.Now that there is a recession, everybody's money is being lost.This starts a wave of different cults, the most popular being the one Stan's dad "Randy" is leader of.They tell everyone to stop spending and buy only basic necessities.The episode starts to mirror the biblical times of Jesus Christ, with Kyle as Jesus.They have the last supper, a "whoever has not sinned cast the first stone" scene, and a scene at the end which could parallel the crucifixion, but not quite.Meanwhile, Stan goes all around to try and return the "Margaritaville" machine his dad bought.He cannot return it at the original store, so now he has to go all the way to wall street to do so.He then finds a shocking secret about the businessmen.This is a fairly good episode, has funny moments, though it's not as good as the first two.Good work!

This episode is pure genuine. I could not spot laughing at the manager guy going "yeah..no... yeah..no.." which is literally exactly how customer support managers talk when you return something at Walmart. Instead I'd actually addressing the concern the default to "yeah...no, yeah...no" and it's so incredibly infuriating cause you some how feel like they're addressing your concern but your brain is screaming "that is not a f%%#% answer!! Hahah. So funny taking something that nuanced we deal with in our everyday lives and capturing that in an episode. Pretty genius imo. Stuff like that is what really draws me to south park. Then throwing in the story of Jesus and essentially the Big Crash it's Al just genius. Genius.
