UGH, out of curiosity I tried to watch it.
SP is still unbearable gibberish.
If this is their best in years I am grateful to have not watched SP in over a decade.

Really? What a couple of weak, woke, wimps. But we knew that already.

You are over thinking it.

Usually, they are still animating up until about two hours before airtime.

They style of animation is crude. The funny stuff comes from the dialog.

I can only respond to your last sentence; “Does my head divide at the mouth when I speak?”
I used to produce art for selling retail products, so, I’ve seen many imitations and parodies before.

I would say depicting their characters as round headed, puppet-muppet like yapping objects, provides South Park with some level of deniability that their cartoons are based on real people. “No human being on earth looks exactly like one of our characters!” When the intended subject get’s mad anyway, the South Park creators probably give a smirk and a
“Oh Well! C’est La Vie” kind of gesture, hands upturned.

If I recall from school... “public figures” make themselves available for parody, and the bar is set so the prosecution must prove ACTUAL MALICE, a very high bar indeed. I think The Prince Who Would Be Man is used to his homeland where Royals get a pass, not America where where have freedom of speech, rg=hanks to that little dust up, 250+ years ago.

The development of thin-skinned cry babies will be the end of comedy. God help us!

Someone Tweeted about voting for Hillary in silly ways, and the Feds went after him.

So I googled that subject and found out that this is what the creators of South Park say they perceive. I know these are infinitely connecting rabbit holes that an intelligent person will not wish to explore any further. If you’ve wasted any time yanksplaining this to your northern superior, I feel genuine angst and will apply for compensation — for me.

HAHAHAHA

Eight random words and images Bulgarians.

Am I doing this right?

I hope they lose, because the episode didn’t mention them by name (as I recall); only as, “The Prince” and, “His Wife.” Just a couple of look-alikes.

Plus, they are VERY public figures. If Tom Cruise couldn't stop them, these two have no chance.
