      Butters name came from Eric Stough, an animator on the show. He was very sweet and meek, so Trey started calling him his "Little Buddy", and then "Budders", and his real nickname became Butters. The last name "Stotch" is how Stogh is pronounced.

      That's pretty surface level reading, Holden is an asshole but understanding why he's an asshole is what the book is all about. He's trapped inbetween adulthood and childhood in a time period where adults won't just level with him and try to understand and help him go through what he's going through. It's about the death of innocence and goes further to evaluate what that innocence is even worth to begin with. Holden is meant to be a confused, angry, hypocritical kid railing against a system, he's learning for the first time just how unfair the world is in a world of bible-thumping flag-saluting hypocrites who just ignore all the world's problems and tell their kids to march in a straight line, because that's what worked for them

    Im so proud of my boy Butters standing up for himself and even if he knew he didn't write the book he still knew that the boys were manipulative and bad friends that tried to throw him under the bus so he called them out on it.
    I also think its HILARIOUS how realistic the vomiting is even down to the spitting and intense gagging sounds.
    Its funny how the boys and even kids today are so desensitized to gruesome and explicit things tjat Catcher In the Rye seemed like preachy poem to them, which is a kinda disheartening how true that is for kids today.

  • @TheLuckyOne-rg4vk

    Catcher in the Rye is an old American novel that is used as a teaching tool in highschool. It used to be controversial because it had some themes and language that were considered adult... in the 1950s. But by today's standards kids see worse stuff on the internet all the time, so Catcher in the Rye seems tame now.
    It's been a while since I read it but I think it's about an adolescent who's depressed and cynical and makes commentary about how phony he thinks everyone is. (How he describes the masks people wear in social situations.) Hence why Butters called his friends "phonies".
    It may've been seen as edgy and thought-provoking in the 50s, and if you keep that in mind there are things to appreciate about it. But I think it might be a little basic compared to the kind of stuff you're used to now.

    Sarah Jessica Parker is an actress best known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. As for the name Leopold, i don't think it's very common these days, but there have been several belgian kings with that name, and of course, the german musician Motzart, whose first name was Leopold. One of the Bugs Bunny cartoons "Long Haired Hare" from the 40s features bugs pretending to be music orcestra conductor Leopold Stokowski

    This episode is using the book as a metaphor for the show itself. The creators have talked about how they’re often just doing things to be dumb, or gross, but their audience will inject meaning into it.
    That said, there are plenty of episodes where they’re clearly taking a political stance on an issue.

    Catcher in the Rye is overrated. It's about a whiny teenager that gets expelled from a wealthy preparatory academy outside of New York City. He is clearly the cause of all of his own problems, but basically spends the whole time getting upset at people for being "fake". There are definitely inappropriate parts in the book for a 9 year old to be reading.
    Some of those include swear words and a scene at a nightclub in NYC that develops into the main character Holden agreeing to hiring a prostitute. Once she takes her clothes off he says he gets too nervous to go through with it because he's a virgin and says he doesn't want sex, that he'd rather just talk. He pays for her time, but her pimp comes back and humiliates him and beats him up and they steal more money from his wallet. I don't know if kids should be reading about prostitutes, pimps, and reckoning with the loss of their virginity.

      But to be fair, 9 year olds in real life aren't given catcher in the rye as homework. I HAD to read it, like as a junior in high school at 17 years old and that is a completely appropriate age. Oh, and it was the most boring book I've ever been forced to read. So bad I don't remember a thing about it except I had to read it once

    • @YerpDerp17
      @YerpDerp17 2 місяці тому +1

      I wouldn't say is overrated, or at least that its not fairly overrated. Because we had to read it in my 7th grade class, and it wasn't a bad book. We had a lot of interesting conversation in class throughout reading it. But this is before I knew anything about the book, had never heard of it before, and wasn't told it was controversial. People attached that because of a big push to actually ban books around the the time of this episode, this book included, in a lot of schools across America. Plus, a mentally ill guy said he was inspired/reading it when he killed Lennon, so that added a bunch of contersery to it that was undeserved as well. If you judge it simply as just a novel, one that a lot of middle school classes read, its really a decent book. It's when you attach all these preconceived notions that you will probably get disappointed or not see the "hype". When the hype shouldn't have been there in the first place. lol

    Catcher in the Rye was considered to be quite controversial back when it was released in the 50s, but by today's standards it's nothing that special. It's just back then people were much more concerned about what themes you can and cannot include in a widely published book I guess.

    You know what this episode reminds me of? The movie “The Producers,” both the Mel Brooks original and the remake. A movie about a Broadway producer who makes purposefully bad Broadway musicals so he can claim them as tax writeoffs to make money, and his accounting partner who has dreams of being a producer himself. They both team up to create the worst, most offensive musical ever for a big payday. That musical they made was a screenplay by a Neo Nazi called “Springtime for Hitler.” They did everything they could to make it as horrible as possible to score the biggest tax writeoff, unfortunately come time for the show everything went horribly right as Springtime for Hitler was so bad it’s good and everyone thought it was a comedy. So because their musical turned into a hit, the jig was up and the IRS found out what they were doing the entire time

    99% of Catcher in the Rye is a teen who decided to skip graduation to bum around the city for a few days and whine about how much growing up sucks. There's an occasional dirty word (sh*t, mostly) and one use of "sexy" early on to describe his male roommate (it had a different meaning then, so not even in a gay way) but no other swearing.
    The only scene that by today's standards would be considered dirty is one point about halfway through when he hires a hooker so he can lose his virginity. She's even younger than he is, which creeps him out and he backs out of it before she even gets her clothes off. This actually annoys her enough she has her pimp beat him up. Aside from that one scene, nothing in it would be considered offensive in the slightest to high-school aged students (which is the age group that usually gets assigned it, not elementary kids)

    Catcher in the Rye was considered controversial back then and was banned from schools. Apparently it was for sexual content (interactions with pimp and prostitute), dark themes (drugs, suicide, etc). But for me it was super boring, didn't understand why it was so "bad"

    Read this as a class for school, its a lot of introspection on who's phony or not. The possible controversial part is when the main character hires a prostitute but just ends up having a convo with her about his thoughts. And i guess there was some cursing too but honestly nothing that will blow your mind... unless you're ultra conservative (hence the ban)

    • @mckenzie.latham91

      The biggest phony is the main character
      Holden is a yuppie spoiled brat who flunks out of school cause he's a loser who blames the world's and the phonies for all his problems instead of himself
      Despite all his problems being his own, It's much easier for him to blame everyone else.
      The whole last half of the book is the only good part
      And even then, the main character is still a literal upper class loser slumming it cause he's too lazy and entitled to care.

    The point is that people read from the book what they WANT to read from the book so regardless of the author's intent or message, the interpretation is completely subjective to the reader. In short, people are completely up their own a$$es regardless of the intent. The way the boys try to get the book banned is similar to how I feel about a certain music band: Cannibal Corpse. I am a die hard metal head but CC to me, their music is just vulgar for the sake of being vulgar and I don't care for it at all. However, other people read a deeper meaning into it. Also, one of my all-time favorite music artists has taught me that "some people like to take the music for face value, but other people know there can be a deeper meaning" - Marilyn Manson, so in the end... to each their own. So long as the intent is good towards all and harm is done to none, do what you please.

      Agreed. When comparing the boys to Cartman, they're saints. However, when the boys are put into bad situations like the one in this episode, they can be really cruel, insensitive, exploitive, manipulative, and downright selfish. It makes them hypocrites, especially Kyle who is almost always pointing out how unethical or evil characters like Cartman are.
