I don't know, he seems kind of "one-note" to me. I hope they do something interesting with him if he sticks around. I don't think I could stand a whole season of him doing this schtick over and over.

Cartman was supposed to serve a suspension along with the principle beating him up in a bathroom. The joke here about the bathroom refers to deflategate and the assistant who tooks game balls into the bathroom. However, it can't be proven anything was done in the bathroom without hard proof. However, Cartman avoided his suspension like Tom Brady did when Kyle took the heat away by throwing out his values.

The refugee kids are Syrian refugees as there is a huge crisis that now extends across the Atlantic to America. Because America created the crisis by mistake through arms dealing. Syrian refugees are literally fighting for asylum in Europe.

Pregnant ladies are Mexican immigrants which is reference to Donald Trump's comments that all Mexican immigrants are murderers, rapists, etc.

The tacos are basically food for the pregnant women and kids to get them riled up to continue fighting.

Then to "clean up" the mess, Cartman has Jarod come in because Jarod and kids aren't a good combination anymore.

Anymore jokes that need to be explained?

Now explain how all of that is funny.
I didn't care for this episode much at all.

It's lazy satire. Some of it was funny, a lot of it was uncomfortable. Like being a room full of people trying to make you conform to them.

I thought it was ok. I thought they would end on the anti gay stuff the lady that had the sex changed made. I think they dropped the ball on that.

There really aren't any.

Matt and Trey wanted to whine about political correctness, but, like many of their "issue" shows they couldn't come up with an ending so they just throw in a bunch of nonsensical shit that they heard about on the news.

I'm not really sure why the "P.C." guys were depicted as crosstraining, Oakley-wearing frat boys since they're probably the most un-PC racist, homophobic, misogynistic assholes you're ever going to run into. Irony?

I don't know. A a bunch of late 40 something guys writing about college frat boys just seems odd to me. I'm their age and am totally clueless about such things. Maybe that's why it didn't come off as funny? I'm not sure. I didn't get it.

I didn't get that either. Maybe it was suppose to be some kind of irony? Overall, I thought it was a pretty funny episode, but it did feel like one of those episodes where Matt and Trey couldn't think of an ending.

It's probably meant to be a little ironic but the idea is that the social justice warriors are sort of like a fraternity. They're like-minded and closed minded people, in much the same way as frat guys are.

I was JUST about to post this as I saw it last night. In my head, I was like, there really aren't male college guys in frats that are PC. Look at all the university drama with frats raping women and demeaning women.

I think that was part of the joke. Just like Cartman was using the guise of political correctness to engage in the most outrageous behavior, the frat boys were using it to be assholes and bully people.

They were taking shots at true SJWs, those who seem more interested in fighting and bullying than actually advancing a cause, not all who share those views on social issues.
