Last night, South Park gave its acerbic take on the election and the results in one of the better satires of recent episodes. They must have rushed this into production in the morning or produced two different episodes in anticipation of either candidate winning, as they had Obama as the winner — and the residents of the town either rioting drunkenly in the streets or attempting suicide and building a bunker. Here’s a short clip showing the bipartisan nuttiness:
The real gem of this episode comes in the secret bipartisanship between the two candidates, however. Unbeknownst to all, Barack Obama and John McCain had something more specific when they spoke about hope. And why does Obama want to sneak into the Oval Office the night of the election? Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama are both in on the conspiracy that will rock the world. Watch the full episode on line here.
Best takeaway: No one ever mentions Joe Biden in this episode.
