i wonder if China has copied SP and if so how they would portray the USA. Has anything been made like this? And is it just as funny?

#12I'm amazed at how South Park after 23 seasons can make me laugh out loud repeatedly while combining classic south parkisms with hilarious satire of current events. I'm a big south park fan and these 2 episodes so far have been on point.
I'm amazed at how fresh they've stayed - testament to Matt and Trey I guess. Most comedies are beating dead horses within 5 seasons.
You said it, todays top post on HN is Apple complying with the removal of Taiwan from their OS.

I wasn't a huge fan of the last season, but the current season seems to be a true return to form. I really hope they can keep up the quality for the rest of the season.

#14Worth a click through. The full episode is available to watch for free.
Well, free but with lots of ads, like network TV.

I'm not saying they don't have a political leaning, but they often focus their energy and 22 minutes on showing just how wildly absurd a situation is. For me, that's a big ingredient in why they've stayed so entertaining.

Unlike China, Americans make enough fun of themselves, and are not censored.
SNL is exactly what you're proposing.

Is satire a thing over there?
I think it would be too risky as crossing a line could mean prison.
All the Trump episodes on SP would definitely have ended with Trey and Matt locked up in China.
