Their standing in the US is at an all-time low. US audiences seem to hold them in the same contempt as people in the UK

The episode on W and K's wedding was also making the rounds again. An own goal for W and K's PR team.
Wonder what Rose Hanbury makes of it all.

How can it be an own goal unless William and Kate are the creators of South Park?

No but they have commented on it through their 'endless sources' raising its profile.
In turn William was then trending for reasons he would rather not...

What endless sources?

No, I think the poster was referring to the fact that RF shrills like Piers, Dan, Richard, Angela etc. have been branding this episode around. Trying to denigrate H&M.

Unfortunately, SM went back and dug up the long forgotten Willy and HMQE episodes and made them trend instead. Surely, the RF would have liked those to be forgotten.

I don't think it's the people you mention who are "Trying to denigrate H&M." That would be the writers of 'South Park'. 3 years after the great finding of freedom and the obsession with the 'British media' is ongoing. Never mind that through their own actions, the Harkles have become a literal joke in America.

I very much doubt the royal family know or care about what desperate 'squaddies' are posting within their own Twitter echo chamber.

It's a typical squirrel. "Don't look here, look over there at the squirrel!" That's why it's been posted repeatedly over different threads on this board.

My dog would love this thread, then!

Do you mean "shills"?

The South Park episode denigrates M&H. These commentators don't have to try at all. They could report on it completely straight faced and soberly, and it would still denigrate them.

As you think South Park hasn't got it right on H&M, and find the animation unrealistic WRT looking into the Wife's mouth; do you think, by contrast, that the William episode is right, and do you think someone literally had their arm ripped off and used for a sex act on William?

AliceOlive · 17/02/2023 19:52

It would be extraordinarily exciting to learn after 25 years that South Park was actually created by the Royal Family. People though they needed to modernize, turns out they have been ahead of the game for a quarter of a century.

Trey Parker is really PC
Matt Stone is really PW

They disguised themselves because the Queen wouldn't have approved. they lampooned themselves to throw everyone off the scent. All so that one day, 320+ episodes in, they would be able to this episode about PH and his wife. Which would mean they still have a Merlin tucked away somewhere to predict the future for them.

It's brilliant.

notanotheroneagain · 17/02/2023 19:52

'The Harkles'

As I have no interest in referring to 'The Middleclass' or whatever. Can you please stop quoting my posts or responding to me in the future, please?

I don't usually remember names, as they don't mean much to me. I will remember your name now. Don't know how you block someone on MN, but please don't ever go anywhere near me.

Nah, you can leave it as I posted because they shrill all over our screens.

It's not branded about either.

Maybe, run a check on your posts in preview.

You understand W&K wouldn't have written South Park don't you?

LaMarschallin · 17/02/2023 20:13

I expect Rose Hanbury - if she gives it any thought - might think:

Oh look - there's William and Kate being made fun of on South Park. One day they'll be king and queen.

Oh look - there's Harry and Meghan being made fun of on South Park. I wonder what they'll be up to in five years.

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 17/02/2023 20:14

*Since when does anyone ever look at someone's mouth to see that they are an empty shell?
Even previous posters saw this as opening her head and finding nothing - an airhead. That is what they presented it as.

Have heard of someone looking into your eyes for what is inside, never in your mouth. Ever.

What a ridiculous excuse !*

Except that they clearly opened her mouth, look at the picture again and see the lips either side of the opening....

jeffgoldblum · 17/02/2023 20:16

I see that not content with posting cropped screenshots, that were deleted.
We now have comments appearing instead.

And somehow south park episodes are now the fault of the royal family.

I'd laugh but it's so predictable and pathetic, not to mention incredibly transparent, I might cry instead!

Yes, I had something similar a few pages ago.

Even if the satire aimed at the two couples were of a similar nature, which it isn't, it's not going to affect them in the same way. Barring some major upheaval, William and Kate will be king and queen regardless of what American comedians think of them. They can afford to be laughed at now and again. It goes with the job.

However, when you're trying to build a 'brand' in America, and have no obvious talents or skills to offer, becoming a figure of fun really isn't a good thing.

Very good point. W&K aren't going to care, it won't affect them becoming King and Queen. M&H seem to want to be Hollywood royalty, and it's really not going well for them.

jeffgoldblum · 17/02/2023 20:23

I mean seriously.... something negative about h and m .....what about this old piece of rumour and gossip about w and k ( insert whatever here!) .

Thread about w or k , Meghan and harry mentioned ( in context or not) ..... same posters ... oh my god why do you keep bringing h and m into it ? It's a thread about w and k .... your all haters , racist , obsessed blah blah blah .

It's like a script now , so obvious.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 17/02/2023 20:25

I watched last night it was great. Wonder who it will be next week probably Trump or the Russians.

Ok. It's really not correct grammatically.

Could you answer my other question, though? I'll reframe it. Is the South Park William & Kate episode correct in your view- by which I mean, it has the main ingredients of accuracy, albeit it that fact has been satirised? If it is correct in your mind, do you also accept that the H&M episode is equally correct? If not, why not, when it's the same writers with the same disdain for all members of the RF?

I'll throw that out to anyone crowing about the old William & Kate episode. If you are happy with that one, why aren't you happy with the Harry and Meghan episode?

I worked with a team of all guys on a project where we sat in a conference room for 6 months and often worked excessive hours.

This was how they "fixed" the flaws in one another. They mercilessly made fun of the parts that needed to change. It worked pretty well. Paul stopped wearing the stone washed jeans. I stopped talking too much. We could laugh at ourselves and admit there was truth in it.

If H&M can laugh at this, take note and change the parts that annoy others, they will be just fine in America. It wouldn't have come to this if they had listened to anyone else around them.

It's just like Trump's hair - that wouldn't have happened either if he had people that were able to tell him the truth.

And this is how you know when people are beyond all recovery like Trump. They don't listen, they don't evolve, they double down.

For 5 weeks now Harry has had a NY Times best-seller so if you consider him 'not going well' you need to put the Dail Mail down for a sweet moment and smell the coffee.

wishingyouwell · 17/02/2023 20:47

Camilla also looked at Diana and Charles and thought 'I'll have him anyway'. Their future as King and Queen meant nothing to her.

Didn't stop Rose either.

Ah yes a book which in which he has made a mockery of himself, sold his family down the river, been outed as a proven liar and of which even Meghan distanced herself from. He should be really proud of himself...

Looks like the attempts to jump the shark are not really working. The real story is the Privacy world Tour!
