NFTS!!!!
MoistMovies16 December 2021
Half of this special was calling NFTs ponzi schemes. As someone who's been in cryptocurreny for many years I see NFT's for the 90% scam they are. Trey and Matt certainly have an opinion on that too hahaha

The special was done really well, It had so many southpark easter eggs in it to. No one was skipped over except mr hanky, jesus or santa.. (satan is dead now in southpark lore i guess, sad days)

All the people getting fussy over the first part and thinking it was biased in some way... If you still think that after this then im not sure there's much in helping you. Southpark is still just as great as it's always been.

I hope it comes back in a series format tho, the episodic earlier seasons were my favorite, but i still enjoy the serialized ones in a different way.. but its been played out and i hope this TV movie way of continuing doesnt leave us with just a couple hrs of southpark a year. Both is the way to go. We need real comedy right now.

It was great had a somewhat good ending but..
evoapollo16 December 2021

Spoilers here but I feel awful for cartman? I mean he's done some messed up stuff but all he wanted out of this was his family. It's probably all that could be done due to time travel. Cartman happy and everyone suffer and miserable, or everyone happy and everybody miserable. I just wish the guys would've went to the extent cof him the way cartman finally went and allowed them to save the future. But then I remember this is cartman and the same ol' cartman we saw made me laugh just as much as kid cartman did. Is this the end of this arc? Who knows.

Tying a nonsensical plot together is South Parks's strong suit
soundstormmusic5 January 2022
This episode is ridiculous. And I mean that in the best way possible.

There are so many jokes that tie together. No loose string left at the end.

I haven't watched South Park in ages and these four episodes have been great, but this one takes the cake. Everything is set up for the ending, and although it's a bit cheesy I laughed out loud multiple times.

For a show to grab every joke and small gesture and give it a fitting ending even when some things feel like throwaway jokes (the Alexa joke for example), I'm just amazed how it all fits together without it feeling forced.

The pace is high and all that now is left to do is to find out what the Japanese woman is all about.

Some People Got No TEGRIDY!
jimsweezey16 December 2021
After reading the reviews for the first half of the Post Covid Special I couldn't believe how many people were whining and complaining about it. Saying it's not funny anymore or it's "too woke". Some even saying "I don't care if it's smart because it's not funny". I think people are really starting to lose their sense of humor much like Jimmy's character shows in the 1st half.

The special is awesome. If you've been watching all along and have always been a fan then you will love this one. I can't take recommendations from all these people who say "I'll admit I've never been a South Park fan" or "I haven't watched South Park in years but I gave this a try" and then proceed to crap on it. I mean why watch and rate a show that you either don't like or haven't followed just to down rate it? Some people are just plain sad imho.

Simple Answer: If you like South Park you will love this. If you don't then you won't. There are plenty of other shows to stream so why waste your time and rate something you don't get? GET SOME TEGRIDY PEOPLE!!

-SweeZ.

I got chills and almost cried at the end
rondan2311 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I'm a big south park fan for almost 12 years, Cartman was always my favourite character, I actually got happy for him and rooted for him to stop Kyle and Stan from changing the past and to keep his family. I felt so sad at the end and so sorry for him, even though he probably deserves it for all the good things he did lol.

These post-covid specials are so great, it's so fun and funny seeing them all older in the future of south park, I enjoyed every second :)

He deserves better
smak71217 December 2021
Not as good as the first episode and like most South Park endings, It feels rushed and underwhelming and falls apart a bit. It started off a masterpiece 9.5 and falls to just a 7 at best. The Jimmy jokes are the best IMO.

The best South Park has ever done.
sawyoutoday16 December 2021
This special encompasses what makes South Park amazing, while telling a very fun and really special narrative about growing up and forgiving everyone for the hardships us as humans had to bare through during the COVID-19 pandemic. The story picks up from the prior Post COVID special, and continues it in a very clever way. The comedy doesn't pull any punches either, jokes land one after the other and there wasn't a dull moment. All in all , a very emotional take on how to move forward after the elongated COVID-19 pandemic, and I can't wait to see where the series goes on from here.

Did Butters Just Convinced Me To Buy NFT?
Laqshayaroraofficial16 December 2021
Not as funny as the 1st part still it was awesome. Future Alexa was super mean and fun this time. Butters really convinced me in thinking of investing in NFT. Although I liked the conclusion of this movie but I didn't like the ending of my favourite character "Eric Cartman". I wanted the boys to talk to their future selves, especially wanted to see young Eric making fun of his adult Rabbi version. There was so much potential, I wanted to see so much more. Still i would recommend this to every south park fan. Hope to see more south park movies like this one.

Best Episode Ever ! Tears Came Out After Watching Its End
kshitijchauhan16 December 2021
The show starts with a glimpse of past exactly when their friendship broke and we can see the lads trying to get in the future. We got to see butters and also got a glimpse of old cartman.

What made me cry is the sacrifice of cartman(You'll know once you watch). I absolutely loved this episode and this has been a treat to watch. It was better then the first one. Worth the wait and absolutely amazing.

I want to see more episodes with them as adults.
leocat-2443716 December 2021
I really enjoyed these past two episodes with them as adults. It was a nice change and surprise, because it was getting boring seeing them stuck as 4th graders for 20+ years. This finally answered one of the biggest questions fans had for two decades: what would their futures be like? The Alexa parts were hilarious. If they make a whole new season with them as adults, I would be sooo happy. I'd like to see more of Stan as an astronaut. Maybe he can go to the moon and find Willzyx's dehydrated corpse.

It has more 'South Park' in it than the first part
DrDebian20 December 2021
South Park to me is a show that I rely to give me a break, but these two episodes were more 'depressing' than lifting up. This not negative, I mean they do cover many important issues in our new 'future' lives, many things I really find as weird and make no sense, the episodes are very smart and well written but they are not the 'stupid (yet smart) and funny' South Park we all know.

I like this second episode more than the first and is more 'fitting' to the general South Park 'theme' but I don't see myself watching this many times like I watch the regular episodes (except for the last few seasons which I don't watch as much either).

Haven't gotten this emotional since watching "Kenny Dies" the first time
schmitty91817 December 2021
I'm not here to post a pretentious review. It's South Park. It was a continuation of the previous COVID specials and they did an amazing job tying it all together. Only issue I have is I see no way of them reverting back to classic South Park. I'm sure they'll find a way though.

More great satire on the Covid experience
grantss1 April 2024
Following on from the previous episode, Stan, Kyle and Cartman have determined that Kenny aimed to go back in time to prevent Covid from occurring. Victor Chaos could provide the answer, but he just wants to sell them NFTs. Moreover, are they all on the same side?

He first part of this special - S24E03 "Post Covid" - was great, a biting satire on the Covid experience, skewering both of the extreme views, the we're-all-going-to-die, no-lockdown-is-long-enough hysterical types and the conspiracy theory, anti-vaxxer types. Also firmly in their crosshairs was over-reactionary governments and whoever started Covid in the first place as well as a few other worthy targets, e.g. Bitcoin/crypto-currency scammers.

This continues that good work though isn't quite as tight in plot or delivery. There's still some great lines but from time to time things go off the rails and feel quite random and unfunny.

All in all it's still very funny and entertaining.

Booooooring
kikkimikki4 January 2022
No laughs. Old characters sucks. The Cartman being a jew joke was funny for a start but never had that punchline. Alexa same. Wouldnt Kenny come back from the dead because of his ressurection powers? It dont matter. Everytime South Park is lame I get sad, lol. Going to watch some old episodes now to remind me that South Park actually is good. Not like this piece of crappety crap crap.

Phenomenal
djw-2070916 December 2021
I'm loving these specials. Or "exclusive events" Hopefully, unlike the Vaccination Special and Post Covid 1, we don't have trump obsessed MAGAts skewing the rating with 1/10 reviews crying that they haven't made fun of President Biden yet. Despite the fact there's only been 3 installments of South Park since President Biden took office.... They made fun of President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, trump, and they will make fun of President Biden. South Park doesn't discriminate.

South Park has helped me get through this pandemic and I'm so thankful for this show!

People Just Love To Hate Anymore!
ztdst22 December 2021
All the low ball scores are from people who act like Kyle Broflovski dad in the troll episode. This was entertaining and I really liked the older South Park characters. I have not watched South Park in years. Not because the show is unfunny, but because you need a break from everything sometimes. Even the people you love. This was a well written story that showed us how crazy some people got living through covid. Do not read reviews and just watch it for yourself.

Paramount+ sure makes things difficult
SureCommaNot3 January 2022
It's hard to give the special any kind of honest rating, when the Paramount+ interface is just such a detractor. You can't even pause (on PC) without the viewer window shrinking down to a minuscule size so all you see is an obnoxiously gigantic Paramount logo, and the app has taken forever just to become usable at all.

It's a shame those constitute the only (legal) ways of watching the show.

Good episode but not as good as the last one.
simon_b-0326516 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was good but not as good as the last one. The humor, the pacing and the story are all great. Some things i want to critique are the characters. I really did'nt like how Cartman ended up. I did'nt like how they developed Randy in this episode either. I would've wanted to see more depth for Butters and Randy became duller. One more thing is that they repeated the same jokes too many times, like creating a new Alexa for Kyle or Butters constantly introducing people to NFT's

Overall though i thought it was a good episode but it's kind of in the middle of the pack when it comes to southpark episodes.

Only 1 LOL Moment, but that's better than most "comedy" shows now tho...
tontogringo29 December 2021
One hour long, and there were several funny parts, but only one time where it made me literally Laugh Out Loud. I guess that's better than any other "comedy" show/movie lately though. How sad is it that the rest of Hollywood and tv shows have gotten so bad, that "South Park" is now a sort of beacon of morality (at least at this *precedented* time).

Fun Continuation of the Previous
Reviews_of_the_Dead25 February 2022
This is the continuation from the previous couple of movies. We have adult Stan, Kyle and others trying to fix the world. At first, they think they need to go to the past to prevent COVID, but that's not it. Trying to stop them is adult Cartman. What I like here is that we continue meeting other characters, just older.

Much as I said with the last one, these guys make fun of anyone and everyone, regardless of their beliefs. I think this one also has a good message, especially in the trying times that I watched this. The voice acting is on point. The references make it even more fun as well.

My Rating: 8.5 out of 10.

Feel that they're trying very hard, The NFT part with Butters was silly
celiawatsonanime3 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Nice story, it was pretty entertaining but not very funny.

Butters going on with the NFTs was one of the very few things I laughed at.

I liked him distracting everyone from the time machine progress too due to that.

It was fun watching them go back in time to try to stop covid from existing and seeing the Southpark kids all grown up.

Brilliant
tvdefrancesco13 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Made me cry from laughter then just cry. Cartman stole the show in this one. His family hiding in the attic was so freakin funny. Also how Uncle Kyle made his kids nutty. Love the Weiner's out references calling him Uncle Kyle. Butter's as the NFT salesman was so damn funny.

I had a cousins' boyfriend tell me this special sucked on Christmas, before I had seen it. But he didn't even know South Park had started to do running seasons! After I watched this I remembered he was a crypto obsessed Liberal with no sense of humor, so it made sense.

Randy was awesome, loved Token, Butters, Jimmy, Clyde as the Terminator had me dying. All of the references toward the future. And the whole forgiveness thing at the end had me literally crying. I really felt bad for Cartman too. Help each other and forgive one another. That's always been the South Park way!

Good movie
nicorip2219 May 2022
If you are a fan of this animated TV show, I am sure you will enjoy this movie. Also this is a secuel of the movie post covid. Although it is not as funny as the tv show, it seems to me that it follows the same line.
