Really you should have watched the episode. It really was not that good, compared to past episodes.

That being said, Trey and Matt made the same point as you in the episode. Only the black kid named “Token” laughed at Tyler Perry’s jokes, even though he did not really want too. Token could not help himself.

South Park has a tendency to be multi-layered in its political statements. It is hard to pick up on some of the nuances in a summary.

This article is one of the most embarrassing and moronic things I’ve see so far on the internet. Pulling a fully fledged rant out of the nose without even watching the friggin show. “If you have nothing awkward to say, just invent it!”

EPIC FAIL!!!!! (Prepare to become an internet meme!)

Personally, I don’t understand why Perry is to blame. I assure you that his audience is largely black and caters to this demographic. If black american deserves better, then maybe they should stop watching Tyler Perry movies. Tyler Perry is a person like anyone else, who needs to make a living. If his films are successful, then that is not his fault. He has also used the capital from his Madea films to produce films like Precious, which, might fall under that “better” category.

I understand the criticism of the writer if indeed the episode wasn’t viewed. That doesn’t take away from the much larger point that Perry is in a tremendous position to make movies that are “deeper and significant” and chooses instead to repeatedly make low-brow entertainment. The black audience—and all of Perry’s audience—deserves better.

“You wrote this article without seeing the episode. Terrible.”

Kurt Matheson is right. Why did you right this article?

You didn’t watch that episode of South Park.

‘Funnybot’ was a robot, who was terrorizing the students, while ‘Tyler Perry’ was just hanging out with the students, and was in a dress most of the time. Two completley separate characters. It was only the ONE kid laughing and giving Tyler Perry money while everyone else just looked at him, not getting his humor. That was the joke. Why did you write about this episode if you didn’t see it? You got the whole premise painfuly wrong.

You wrote this article witout seeing the episode. Terrible.
