Trey Parker and Matt Stone outdid themselves this episode

[vaibhav042 · 10/10 · 27 November 2019]

I would rank this episode in one of the most outstanding ones. They delve deep into the psyche of the most interesting character, in a truly unique way. And the fact that the surrounding events are so bizarre, it shows a true contrast from the real, highlighting a subtle but highly matured sense of humor.

All in all, watch this episode multiple times. I guarantee you won't regret it.

perfect episode

The character development is everything. My favorite scenes are the ones where cartman is at tokens mansion. I feel that this is something that should be aired more, as it rarely airs anymore.

One of the most inteligent and underrated South Park episodes

I'm truly impress that this it isn't consider one of the all time best of the show.

This episode in general is a solid example of character study. "1%" shows perfectly the psyque of Cartman. Everyone hates him because it's a jerk and an awful person, but his ego is so high, he believes he's always right and people hates him for pure envy, but at the end, where he kills his own toys and creates a conspiracy plot, he gives the reason to his "friends", he needs to mature.

Also there's SATIRE!! Where Jimmy and Butters make a protest against the National Health Organization for how inacurrate his system is in front of a chainfood restaurant, being a critique of how system creates on a base of equality are actually stupid, of the protest and the exagerated attitude the media and authorities had against them, and of how the 1%, the people that is attacked and the pricipal reason of how that system didn't works, they didn't even care of the problem and they prefer still eating hamburgers.

My GOODNESS!! This is symply 10 out of 10 writing.

Seriously, watch this chapter. Is incredible and absolute genius in every sense.
