Verse of the Day (as related to the topic of this video):
"I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete." - 2 John 1:12 (NIV)
A movie I highly recommend: The Gospel According to Matthew (starring a very animated and engaging acting performance by Bruce Marchiano, who plays Jesus). This is a word-for-word adaptation that has a unique take on the body language and charisma of Jesus, and also makes it easier to understand and quicker to read the story. I am hopeful that this movie gives you peace, love, hope, security, comfort, and answers, as it did me, and continues to do to this day. God bless you.

Hey I hope you see this, you should check out Karsten Runquist, they do the same thing you do and it would be amazing to see y'all do a video together
Go make lots of new friends :3
Love the fact that you decided to give a smaller channel in your niche a shout-out. gg
Smaller channel shoutouts always make me smile
Certainly Agree💪🏽
I don’t care what my friends or family says to me, I don’t care how much Zuck lies to me. I’m staying as far away from Facebook as humanly possible.
Well good lucky staying away from Google they have their tracking on almost every website and cctv camera ever.
@@Daster131 websites yes, but cctv cameras?
@@SirDella yes they can see you on every cctv camera and they can also track you even if location is turned off by using other sensors in your phone.
@@Daster131 I've noticed that, when I go out google maps starts up (I have its process stopped) and when I come back home it asks me to write a review for the store I visited, never had location on.
idk if that was wifi triangulation or what.
But here at least cctv cameras are either run locally or connected to a third party cloud
it is a cesspool
I realized that deactivating my FB account really made me feel better, and that's something I recommend to anyone.
I did that months ago, and to my surprise, I realized exactly what this video exposes, that real friends are rare, that friends numbers doesn't mean anything, that stoping using it and dedicating myself to the real world makes me feel way better.
I have been thinking of doing this.
@I Hate Zoomers & Boomers Same for me, I once was criticied because I made a joke with vegans
Since last year, I spent less time on FB by deleting the app on my phone, and I had a lot of internal weight released and even though I can still check FB on my laptop, I don't have the need of checking on FB 24/7, and my desperation of waiting for a reply online lessened.
I deactivated it 10 years ago. I did a litmus test, I was looking at all these happy birthdays from "friends" on Facebook. I said OK, that's fine, but how many will send me one next year, if they don't have some stupid app telling them its my birthday. Shock horror, only close friends and family remember.
It's why I always make a mental note of someone's birthday, If I care about them. I don't need an app, and they don't deserve hollow well wishes.
@@ICantSplel Yeah, I once did the same thing. My so called "friends" didn't send me any birthday messages. This is when you finally realize what real friends really are.
I was eating at a restaurant today and there was songs playing and one of the songs that played was Landslide. When I heard it, I immediately thought of South Park. Thank you South Park for introducing me to a nice song.
have you listened to psych2go's cover of it ?
South Park put me onto heat of the moment
I can’t say that I hope Landslide ever makes me think of South Park, but I am thankful that I can finally smile when I hear boom boom pow by the Black Eyed Peas, because of Butters.
@@hearmywubz me too, but Cartmans version is too awesome, prefer it to the original 😄
Introduced me to that song too
I used to be addicted to social media. I was the kind of girl that's always posting selfies and uploading stories of her breakfast. I was obsessed with my self image for 10+ years. A nervous breakdown made me give it all up months ago. I can assure you that social media was the poison of my youth. I deleted IG, Facebook, Twitter, reddit and tiktok at the same time. I don't regret wasting my life with social media, I'm just glad I finally got out of its spell. I wish I could convince my friends to do the same. It's liberating.
Any updates? How are you feeling now?
Being someone who is stuck inside normally social media has been a fantastic way for me to have a chance of real friendship.
I have to admit when I started I did fall into a lot of the traps mentioned in this video but when you learn to use it as a tool and not a life sorce then your safe.
If it wasn’t for social media I wouldn’t of met some of my best friends but the predatory side of it needs to be fixed
This is what it should be.. unfortunately I have never found people who wanted to consistently interact with me. So it becomes a platform where you just stare at stuff others post. And you don't post anything because that's better than posting and it being ignored completely.
@@hgzmatt same, that's how I am on social media. I have tried talking to people, I have had long conversations with people. I have never met one single person on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook absolutely anywhere that has ever ever ever ever ever ever wanted to continue the conversation the very next day.
Especially Reddit., I mean it's amazing by the fact that anybody can truly find a friend anywhere and develop a collection anywhere across the world through a screen. But I feel like that takes its own set of skills to do. Such were some of us out there, such as myself, and probably for you to maybe, I need that in person human connection.
I personally can't do that constantly over the screen never in the same room bulshit. And good for those who can't but I just can't. Not to mention I just can't develop a relationship or friendship with somebody like that.
And I truly think that's more so person-to-person think I don't think just anybody will be able to make friends online. Whether it's just not for you are you just can't possibly see how anybody ever anywhere in the world can ever make a friend on Reddit or Twitter or fall place. Discord sure, but read it? Those got to be fake people. People actually being friendly to each other on read it, it is a very very very very very rare sight to see. Even more rare than seeing people being friendly on Twitter.
Let alone watching to be somebody's friend
Deleting Instagram and Twitter was one of the best decisions I ever made
youtube and reddit count as well. get out from there too.
@@sorrychangedmyusername3594 why UA-cam
dumb idea
I want to go out and make friends but my mum just locks me in
@@sorrychangedmyusername3594 No, UA-cam does not count. It's more like Netflix if it had a comment section. It's a free streaming service. You don't make friends on it, all you do is watch videos, and sometimes, talk about the video in the comments.
I remember before social media took over our lives. I was born in 1995. I’d still rather live like that and can never understand why people think social media friends determines worth
All my life growing up, I never even cared about social media. In my highschool, everyone had social media accounts but me. Did it upset me? No, because I’m not one of those teenagers who do the whole “I feel like I don’t fit in since everyone has something I don’t or everyone has these so I want it as well to fit in” bullshit. I never cared about views or subs because I don’t even know these people. I didn’t get a social media account until April in 2018 and I only made one just to put my voice over work on there because putting them on social media is the highest possible way for me to build up my teaching career to get a job in voice over. 13 years have passed since I was 6th grade and I am still asking myself this question: Why do people make such a big goddamn deal about followers, subs, or friends that you have in social media? These people have nothing better to do?
Notoriety. Easy path to fame without having to do alot of work to do it, I use it for what it is, shit posting and memes.
You, my man, speak the goddamn truth! I used to BEG my mom to let me get a Facebook just so I could fit in. Then, not even like half a year after I created my account, I realized that social media is kinda stupid thanks partially to this episode. Everyone was so obsessed with followers and likes that it just felt unreal and fake to me. I remember when I got to school one morning, everyone was obsessing over the color of a dress. At first, I had no idea what the fuck was going on and when I found out, I thought to myself "this is really stupid". Like who cares?! I now understand that, for some, it's a fun debate, but this is some of the shit people obsess over on social media. I also don't feel the need to constantly post about myself and let everyone know what I'm doing. I like living a private life, void of the toxicity of social media. I'll go on platforms that aren't youtube maybe like once or twice a year. Maybe more if I'm talking to someone I haven't seen in a long time. At least on youtube, I can learn something and be entertained.
@@johnleone1996 You wanted a Facebook account to fit in? And it took you having one to realize how ridiculous it is?
@@voiceacticon667 Ik it's ridiculous. However, I rarely used it even right after setting it up. I just didn't feel the need to document every moment of my life.
What do you want to say about youtube? I know It's also very time consuming
I understand that we shouldn't place too much value in social media status and that we should try to balance out how much we use it. But for some people, it's the only way they'll be able to "associate themselves" with others in the world.
Take me, for example; due to my learning disabilities, I'm unable to drive on my own and meet people. But since I joined Facebook, I was not only able to reconnect with people I haven't seen since I graduated back in 2004, I've also met people who were just like me; people who've lived with Hydrocephalus for years (if not all their lives)
This is exactly what I went through with dealing with social media over the years. At first it was new and fun but then I realized that my "followers" weren't real friends since we never met in real life etc. And only communicated through funny one liner jokes on their posts. There is so much distance even though your there to connect with others. I used to get really sad when some people unfollowed me or left because I didn't follow them back. It made me realize they were just doing it for the number gain and not to see my artwork. I'm just at the point where I don't care too much how many followers I have on IG or Twitter. I just want to go on and look at art or watch funny videos to relax. I don't want friends for the numbers, I want friends for the laughs, trust and kindness. However, I am also learning to be friends with myself and accepting myself more.
Been a introvert, I only cared about games and memes while using Facebook. Even on School I always saw peaple that cared too much about likes/friends/followers as childish
Where/how the ********* do those South Park writers get their research?
It's mind blowing
Everyday life but exaggerated
The latest news headline
Memes
Its just everyday creativity. Normal peeps.
Well, the meaning of nerd sounds like that guy, so I’m subscribing.
It feels hard to love yourself. Not sure what's making never feel good enough for anyone. Maybe I should be like Stan and start being grateful for what I do have.
This episode is one reason why Stan is my favorite character.
When I lose a sub, or get a dislike, I don’t mind, I wanna find out who and why, but I don’t let it upset
I only use UA-cam and sometimes reddit.
UA-cam is most of the times pretty wholesome, and here are way less narcissistic personalitys than on Instagram or TikTok. I like UA-cam, but only UA-cam
And reddit is okay lol
Plus, you can learn something on youtube while simultaneously being entertained
I have UA-cam,Reddit,Instagram,Twitter,Facebook,Discord and some others and I agree,UA-cam is Cool,Reddit,Discord and Instagram is Ok,Twitter is a hellhole (not the whole of Twitter, only a good portion of it) and I rarely use Facebook,I now Usually use UA-cam,Reddit,Insta and Discord
To be fair, anyone's experience on reddit relies mainly on the subs they tend to frequent. There are too many actual echo chambers in there, which are made stronger by the upvote/downvote system. Only somewhat small or niche subs are perfectly fine to use, otherwise it's truly a cesspool of opinionated people complaining over the smallest things again and again.
Reddit is hit or miss from my personal experience.
UA-cam still counts
Reddit still counts
Discord still fucking counts.
Its hard and difficult we standardized this sort of behavior now. As if talking is just pixels on a screen. Addicted as if we easily replaced socializing.
The threat is sometimes the things you don't normally notice.
Lonliness hurts, hurts to be lonely.
Guys don’t worry! They changed their name to Meta! All of Facebooks problems are fixed!
Thats one of my favourite episodes
New vid, love your work man
I have like 350 people friended on Facebook every year I'd have like 30 odd people write Happy Birthday on my timeline. I disabled the birthday notification one year and like 4 people wished me happy birthday 2 of which are family.
Social media isn’t all bad, I don’t see anything wrong with scrolling around twitter a bit or posting a picture every once and while on Instagram.
It’s all pretty dumb for sure, but it can be useful too. It’s only bad in my opinion when people obsess with getting likes and followers so they can use their online interactions as some type of validation.
You can cherrypick what you do on social media, you don't need to constantly deal with toxicity
Anyone notice Kyle was born in 2003 and Stan in 2001 yet their in the same grade?
If you look at 2:20 Kyle is 5/26/2001. 2003 is Kip. But I honestly don’t get it since Stan is 10/19/2001 making him younger, and You’re getting Old basically debunks that.
2:01 I think he accidentally turned off his voice changer lmao
Hahahahaha lol
Great video, man! It was great working with you, & thanks again for the opportunity💪🏽
Having been a gamer since my childhood in the 80s, I have now given it up. I haven't used any social media in about 4 years (besides UA-cam if you consider that social media). I am now getting very tired of using the Internet in general. My plan is to use the Internet only when I need to at my local library. No smartphone, no wired connection, no pc, no console. I'm going to buy a Mudita Pure phone which has no Internet but is 4G capable so will be future proof as 3G is being switched off soon and eventually 2G will be too.
In the UK we pay a tv licence because of the BBC, but you are exempt if you only watch dvds and blu-rays. So that's my plan. Watch what I love with no adverts, read books, newspapers (not too much though), reignite an interest in real life games like cards, board games, pool/snooker etc. Keep fit. Enjoy nature.
I look back on a lifetime spent behind a screen. Is this really how we're supposed to be?
I agree I so wish we could all go back to a much simpler time
I deleted all my social media accounts. Made my depression much worse. I still struggle since I don’t speak with anyone, and comments and such made up for lack of communication but it had to go.
I remember how I would be out from Instagram for a while because I wasn’t getting along with my hair stylist who I had before. I got depressed when clients are happy for their new look and also how she felt happy in her life.Thank god I stop going to her salon and I unfollowed her.
Same it makes you feel better in a sense but in a sense makes you feel worse as you feel more isolated
Yeah i had a similar experience. When i deleted my socials i kinda felt lonely. I just felt like there was less humans in my life and lack of interaction with people and less voices to be heard.
I feel like you did miss the other side of the coin with the kid with 0 friends, where the episode makes the point that having any type of friendship, even the artificial ones created by facebook and twitter, can be incredibly wonderful. The thought that you have someone, even if that someone is someone you've never met, is something a lot of people have difficulty finding.
1:44 the meme he showed made me laugh hard for abit
Last month my best friend died. I posted it on Facebook. les than 10% of the 100 "friends" asked how I was doing or called...and they were my friends before Facebook...it was an eye-opener.
This is gonna be a goody
5:28 whenever I hear a song that's become popular because of Geometry Dash on a channel not related to GD at all, I get a really weird feeling. Not sure how to explain this, because the songs are used in community levels, not official ones
i love how your channel is based off of taking these episodes from random cartoons with random themes that dont even cross our mind until we rewatch and realize the true meaning behind the theme
Still today people care too much about Twitter 😅😅😅
My friends were sorta like this, but I only had Facebook to talk to them and never gave into this norm that was unnatural. They saw my perspective and they felt a lot better from it
The song at the end is so beautiful. Name?
So sick of hearing about anime. Lol. Love South Park though!
Since the internet came along it’s been rather Lonely in society. I hope to live to see the old days again when we all turn on tech and say hello to strangers in the street again . That was only 20 years ago the old days lol wtf .
That’s how I met my wife saying hello at a bus stop before social media and📱’s .
Black Mirror Season 2 episode 1 "be right Back" Same principles. The company providing the services use her pain to get her addicted to and pay for prolonging her grief for a lost lover. In the end, they win.
I used to have a Facebook, but I almost immediately got off it after I first heard about them selling user information to the highest bidders. I swore off social media all together after it became public knowledge, it all just breeds narcissism and has created more problems than it has solved and I don't think it solved any to begin with
Much like many here...deleting my FB, Twitter and such was the best thing to happen for my anxiety. I didn't really have any friends ...they talked more on those platform than actually wanted to get together and hang, for those friends that were local to me. AMD if we did hang out they were always on their phones. Been 2 years and never hear shit from any of them...everyone is so fake these days and I found myself being dragged down to doing something stupid shit online in general so I even walked away from XBox.
sssshhhhh Mark Zuckerberg the terminator is watching lol
shit... the background music destroyed me... Melodies of life at the end? Geez...
Exactly
I erased my FB profile about 9 years ago. Did not get back to social media, except for LinkedIn due to it being a good source of useful information.
Don't trust people on social media.
Outstanding video. It has been a while since I watched this episode, but I don't remember thinking about Stan in such a manner; so thank you for introducing a new view on him: he's being grateful for what he haz, not miserable because of what he doesn't. Keep up the good work and message that you are trying to send
9:12 song name?
I think Social Media messed up the internet.
I would always use the internet to fined people that liked what I liked.
On the internet it was easier to ignore people calling you a loser for liking something.
On the internet you can hide behind a user name and say you like something and not get attacked in real life.
I can’t really give my 2 cents on this…
My bank account is -$5,004.91
This episode convinced me to never use facebook. I have a reddit, and discord account, but that's pretty much it.
Really sad some of the friends you made on you're high school or college years are not your friends only on social media
I dont care for social media generally but I have found things like facebook groups to be great for connecting over mutual interests/hobbies
Social media is programmed to show you what you want to see and look for. No tool is bad, how you use it defines your personal use of that tool! Social media is just a tool, how YOU choose to use it is on YOU! Everything you state is bad with social media happens in real life without the internet! These problems didn't just pop up after the internet. Remember, it's not social media that is "toxic" it's PEOPLE who are toxic, it's people who are bad. You choose to be a part of this process. If someone cares how many "friends" you have on facebook stop talking to those people and you will feel better, you don't have to stop using facebook, just stop giving control of your life to other people's opinions! It's that simple, stop letting others views direct your life. Choose to use the tool of social media better. Stop blaming something that has no will or mind if its own.
"a real friend" again, you are stating standards that you apply to everyone, that your opinion is law and what is "right" or "true". No, what is "true" for YOU does NOT apply to ME, NEVER forget that shit! Your standards ONLY apply to YOU!
Quality is more important than quantity.
I wouldn’t say this for all cases, but yes
Nice song at the end there. FFIX is possibly the best in the series.
I have my own business and I have a bad habit of comparing myself to other businesses on social media and feeling down because I’m not where they are. I am working on it and I even talked to my therapist about it. I started focusing on my projects and my own goals. I may not be where I want to be yet but I will one day. I also don’t like when negative people tell me I should stop following my dreams because I’m a “ capitalist profiting off of people”. I feel like people come on here and complain about everything and people are quick to tear others down and cancel them over the smallest things.
South Park predicted the Metaverse
I don’t even care about how many friends I have on Facebook . I have a few Facebook friends that I met through Facebook that I’m closer with than people in my real life . I actually delete people that I don’t talk to .
Stan the best 😁👍🏻
F*ck memes. This channel is my daily dose of the internet. You make my day absolutely wonderful with your content
Social Media is a facade.
People post their highlights there, and you compare that to your daily, not so perfect life.
If you spend way too much time on Social Media, you'd become a bit anxious, and think that your life isn't as good as others.
Cover the south park episode featuring the toxic side of being thankful people are worse off then you
Seeing several of yours videos....I guess your favourite show is South Park...
Was enjoying the vid, then you had someone with an awful voice take over. I stopped 2:00
I deleted reddit recently and I've been trying to spend time without playing on my phone. I've never been happier. South park is very right about this
Dude, is that the FF9 theme in the background! I love that game/theme.
Hi sir can you make a video about rejection and living single?

Melodies of life - Emiko Shiratori (Final fantasy IX)
On Steam, I'd just call people like these "Friend collectors" which is a decent analogy for how most of the people who use these sites this way are lol.
Its been a few years since I've even thought about using social media in any way ( 2017-2018 was when I quit, after graduating early from highschool I finally understood what it was really about), and I can say it feels alot better knowing I'm above such petty impulses.
First I genuinely enjoyed social media. It was a great feature to everyday life, until everyone, myself included, cared too much about it.
Today, Facebook seems like a tv channel made for ads 24/7.
I think that social media can be a great way to connect with people and to keep in touch with friends (during the pandemic, its been my only way of keeping contact with people), but real friendships can take years to develop, on social media, they're just a click away. As satisfying as it can be to get likes and followers, my status on social media has never bothered me too much.
That South Park episode is one of my favourites
Friends are the numbers that we collected along the way!
Ayeee this one ambitious crossover
I don't like nerd's Voice. But i Like his choice of background music
What’s that song you used during that credit?
The FF9 song at the end was a pleasant surprise!
One of the best days of my life was when I deleted my FB page.
I love this channel
Same!!
hey, what‘s the name of the outro song?
I still miss the days of MySpace. It was really great for the time being.
Yeah this is the type of content that’s needed these days.
I think I remember commenting on your video on the Hobbit episode saying a video on this episode would also make for good commentary material on social media. Needless to say, this was everything I hoped it would be.
the breathy voice is a big cringe man
Did this episode predict Meta?
You have good taste in background music!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Omg that other guy voice

As someone who deleted their FB account and have toxic ass family who use this site, I couldn't agree more! Back when I was younger my first time using Facebook was in high school because I always wanted to get the view of cool kids, but then I had to realize that's all a lie, it's all illusion just put yourself in a bad position, even back when I use that my parents did as well but I had to realize how toxic they were when they use, it's why I deleted my account because my step mom keep controlling it like it was bad so I deleted my account ever since and I don't regret ever since, there when I know use Facebook but not me I don't care they make me look bad or whatever you see you why I don't use Facebook no more because losers and amateurs and amateurs like these people, thank you toxic family for helping me get rid of something that I don't need! Also this episode published why Stan's my favorite
Thanks you for making this episode. 😊… you just gained a follower🤣.. not for real I just subscribe to your channel 😊
I haven't had "friends" since the middle of 2019. Firstly I was kinda depressed but I'm glad it happened, they were toxic, nonsupportive, they would envy everything I do better than them and so on.... And the fact that I have no friends is really amazing, because I started developing myself, I have goals and ambitions. I started learning English and I don't regret anything:) If you don't have friends, that's okay, don't be worried and depressed about it:)
