I love how Butters draws genuin heart felt reactions from people as if he is a real kid. He has to be my favorite character. The things that happen to him are just insane.
I know right? If you psychoanalyze the show you from a layman's perspective would view the characters and their actions as completely insane. Imagine someone like Cartman or Mr. Garrison in real life. But you just kind of accept that it's a show within its own little universe and that the psyche of the characters is pretty commonplace. But then there's Butters. A kid you'd like to have as a friend in real life. The one normal soul dropped into a world of madness where a kids parents are fed to him and a gay teacher wants his dad to molest him for validation.
It’s so satisfying because even SHE knows he’s right. She knows he isn’t old enough to like form this speech out of anger it’s nothing but a child being pure and honest and even though it’s a cartoon, I can’t imagine how the rest of that night felt for her after he left the room 💀
The inherent challenge in reaction videos for South Park is that the references, dialogue, jokes or scene direction are often ripped straight from that week's headlines, which may or may not have faded from general memory in the ten to twenty years since. The difference with Dash is that rather than going "oh that's weird, why is that that way?" he actually calls it out or edits it in after to retain the context for the episodes.
I’m always amazed how he finds clips for context. Like the bullying video and lasts week with the weird way micheal “Jefferson” said the word yes. I would have never picked up on any of those little references
5:43 I had a bully for 5 years. He tortured me, picked on me, beat me up etc. One day he was blocking the door to the gym, I pushed his leg out of the way, he shoved me, and then I knocked his ass to the ground. Everyone was proud of me sticking up for myself finally, cheering and everything. But then he got up and started wailing on me. We both got sent to the office and he ended up getting expelled. I haven’t seen him since
Hell yeah! I mean sorry about getting wailed on but glad you got rid of him, from the school no less. Normally a bully will not make the mistake of brawling in public, they’ll keep it on the down low and punish you away from prying eyes. But this guy did, and it’s because you showed him up, stood up to his intimidation and flipped the social scale; now _he_ felt humiliated, ashamed, and most of all, threatened. Scared that his power was broken. So he had to prove he was in control; ironically it only demonstrated just how *not* in control he was.
I got bullied thru Jr High for being poor...in an inner-city school. They threw food at me, one guy punched me in the face, one guy destroyed my winter jacket. Worst thing ever was when they would set up a girl to act like she liked me only to humiliate me. When I went to high school a kid started with me and I beat the crap out of him...pure adreneline, and it took 3-4 seniors to beak up the fight...along with the gym teacher. Sent to the principal's office with a split lip...worth it. Wasnt bullied again.
Just a heads up...if things feel a bit choppy on this one, I had some struggles with claims, but still a funny episode. Thanks for watching, everybody!
This whole episode someone was beating down on someone else to fill a void in their own life, Butters himself did this (literarily) but unlike everyone else reflected upon his action and the lack of comfort it bought, he then went to the source of his issues and confronted them not with malice but to gain his own resolution he could be comfortable with. Hands down the most mature character from the episode.
"Who gets beaten up by there Grandma" .... everyone knows it Butters! That was Perfect love the references to jokes and other episodes this channel brings much joy to people that you for all you do.

Also, Counselor Mackey’s childhood bully grew up to be the anti-bullying counsellor in a later episode, which explains why Mackey is so affected by his insults in the episode.

I got bullied in high school, all I could do is run away. Changed school two times, and finished a 3 year course in 4 years. At my last school the bullying was only verbal, which was more handable. Im thankful I could finish the school at all, and Im thankful for a teacher, who helped me not to become a drop out :)
you never learned your lesson that if you stood up to the bully who can physically end you with the intention that youre ready to die by his hand but youre not going down without fight - that he wouldnt actually kill you but respect you. Butters did learn this lesson - and he stood up both to Dr. Phil and to Grandma.

Yeah, man, I was bullied quite a lot growing up. I was a small skinny kid and an easy target. Then I hit a growth spurt. Grew to be over 6ft tall and filled in normal.... suddenly my bullies just stopped and left me alone. Crazy huh
Its funny remember listening to Simpson commentary saying they made random characters as background characters. But occasional turn them into fleshed characters but often will forget about them leaving them part of background pack they random put in future episodes.
When I was in high school I was bullied by all the jocks and preps, until 80lb me decided to go crazy and bite, scratch, ball headbutt and stuff the bullies in their own lockers. After that everyone called me DevilMan (like the White Zombie song Supercharged Heaven) and no one dared bully me again. I had issues back then. I never apologized for putting the bullies in their place because they deserved it and they learned to leave the D&D nerds alone.
9:49 always gets me. It's absurd, but also realistic with the lengths bullies will go to to dismantle their victims strengths or sense of escape. Petty and childish, but invisible because it is coming from Grandma so it is misunderstood and never really solved by the actions that are intended to solve it.
I was bullied briefly in school and I dealt with it the way Butters did Dr. Oz. It got me into some trouble admittedly but I got a reputation in my school after that and nobody bullied me again.
I wasn’t bullied, but my sister was bullied badly in high school. The school didn’t do much about it. It went on for months and she missed allot of school. My mum spoke to some of her friends at work who had slightly older kids. Basically, she arranged for older kids to bully the bullies. It worked. My sister never had problems again. The school was furious with my mum for taking that action, but they had no leg to stand on. Conflict resolution is a load of BS, if you want to stop being bullied, or someone close to you from being bullied, the only solution is to give the bullies some of their own medicine.
5:56 I wouldn't have gotten that Cyprss Ranch High School Lip Dub reference at all. Most YouTue reactors probably wouldn't either, and if they did, their explanation would have brought the video screeching to a halt. Dash found the reference and explained it while maintaining the flow of the video. This is part of wkat makes your videos a cut above most South Park reaction videos.
I was bullied throughout the entirety of middle school. I tried to handle it in a positive way but by 8th grade i was fed up and got into a fight with my main antagonizer. When entering highschool i found the pleasant surprise of being left alone for my last four years of grade school. Middle school tends to be the worst of it
I love that Butter's sentiment to his grandma is applicable to so many old people that are currently trying to destroy people's lives just cause they don't like them living their lives lol
I had a lot of bullies in school. Kicking their asses solved the problem until someone else took advantage of my patience. Also being kind and helpful without ulterior motives to the girls, including the ones they were dating, unintentionally helped. they found out their or their friend's BF was giving me shit and then told the guys off. I heard one of them withheld horizontal fun times until she heard from me that he stopped. I wouldn't say be friendly and helpful with the expectation that it'll help, they can sense it. but if you are genuinely kind it may probably come back to you.
Can I say I love how dash puts up every single pop culture reference. I didn't know captain kangaroo was a TV show. Just one of the simple things I love about your reaction Channel.
I had bullies all through elementary school, and I got into fights. But I never started it, threw a punch, or went after anyone else. I did happen to know submission techniques, so I used holds. Won every fight, and it helped to build a bit of character in me, that I could fight my own battles, if I needed to.
I know South Park is not one to sugarcoat treatment of anyone or anything. But there are rare moments when Trey and Matt are unironically very profound. That last monologue from Butters is a decent life lesson when you’re dealing with people like his grandma.
My bullying came from a group of girls that were just merciless on me at the time. 9th grade was rough. Looking back, those same girls were also being groped by the math teacher with shoulder rubs and hair stroking. 1974 was a rough year for us all. After growing up, we are all friends now but those days were something else.
I was bullied by several people in my school for some years. One day I had enough and started to fight them with my fists. I also spat in their faces. Suddenly they stopped bullying me.
Great episode and reaction. I was bullies all the way through public school and the class teacher was in on it. Then when I started to defend myself I got beaten by a student, I could barely walk and had bruises the size of soccer balls. The teacher said I wasn’t allowed to defend myself and made me apologize + shake the student’s hand in front of his and my class. The beating and bullying continued after that and no one did anything. To this day I have massive trust issues.
The adults were the biggest issue for sure, just as you want to defend yourself they always blame you and take the side of the bullies, primitive apes.
That’s sad that happened to you. I personally didn’t get bullied because I bashed a kids head in who tried when I was little but one person tried to bully a friend of mine I took a social study, math, and science book and knocked his ass out when he wasn’t looking. Got in a good amount of trouble for that cause he was some bs football star. Point is I would have been the shit out of that kid for you had I been there. Hopefully you’re doing better today
I understand for copy right you couldn’t play the entire ‘Jacking it in San Diego’ song, but my God is that one of my favorite songs since I’m down the road from San Diego lol. Also, the waiting in the bathrooms saying “what’s up” always gets me in this episode.
This episode( and the other ones involving what happens with him throughout the series) makes a passive skill that Butters has in Stick of Truth THAT much more hilarious
I beat up my bullies because I tried everything else at that point. And when we realized I had to take matters into my own hands I realized: the only way to beat a bully is to make them know you won’t be pushed around.
At elementary, a kid was bullying by making fun of me while I was holding a dodge ball and I threw the all at his face and he cried. Later on he was acting cool with me because I defended myself. I wasn’t bullied at middle school all but at high school I have a friend who is kinda tough and would defend me so pretty much kids don’t start anything. But there’s this guy who’s harassing me because he just does and I got agitated and frustrated and yelled at him in pe class. Afterward he apologized and said he’ll leave me alone. All you gotta do is defend yourself and it’ll go away.
Such a great episode and such a great song about "San Diego". Butters really does have such a messed up family. It's amazing he's not a psychopath but he has that natural kindness in his heart that helps him through everything.
I had to deal with a bully in middle school. It lasted about about a day. I just waited until he tried to pick on me and I beat him up. I never had another problem from him.
9:51 😂😂😂😂 Jackin' for the laaaawd! Lmao cant help but sing that song at the end, they actually sang that song live at the red rocks concert lol🤣 everybody lost their minds 😂
Butters saying that his grandma is so true. And so real. My grandmother is homophobic, so she basically disowned me, still says horrible things about me to my mom and other family member’s, so I basically sent her a message that was similar to this.
I was bullied for almost every year in school. I got called ugly all the time, and people called me twitchy because of my nystagmus. One day in middle school, I called one of my bullies an inbred looking turd licker right in front of my math teacher and I never got in trouble for it. There was also one girl in middle school choir who called me anorexic just because I could sit like L from Death Note in crappy school chairs.
Bullying in the western United States was impossible to deal with until the day Matthew Shephard was beaten and left out to freeze to death outside of Laramie, Wyoming. That was the day our school teachers actually did their due diligence in protecting the children. That event shook and changed the social structures in Wyoming more-so than the Columbine attacks, which happened a few months after. The teachers all knew at that moment, nearly all of them could be implicated into endless lawsuits for the things some kids got away with in our school. Without that horrific event with Matthew Shephard, I believe the sui%$de rate in Wyoming would still match Japan's, if not completely decimate it. The west was not a happy place during the 90's...
when it comes to bullying at school you always get all the useless solutions from the teachers "Just ignore them and they stop" - "Simply keep away from them" or my Favorit "dont worry, if we see something like this happen ,we will make sure to stop it." . You know the only thing that helps at the end? Graduating.
Than what’s your solution? Instead of complaining, give ideas. What would you have done if you were in the teacher’s shoes? You know that punishing the bully would also mean that the bully would retaliate on the kid who told on him
@@joey2765 Clearly you havent understood anything from what i wrote. My point is, that there IS NO solution. The teachers might as well say "just bare with it until you finish school" at least that way they would not be lie-ing with useless cliche solutions that never work.
When Kyle said this is an about bullying it’s about you(Stan), just makes me remember all the BLM Instagram blackouts and now is the LGBT and pronouns in the bios, it’s not about making a difference it’s Just selfish narcissism😂😂😂
6:10 "Come on! Lets all put an end to bullying, Right now! 5, 6, 7, 8! Bullying isn't cool, bullying is lame, bullying is ugly, and has a stupid name, for a healthy world, bullying's unfit, and I think we all know, what we should do to it! Lets all get together, and try to make bullying kill itself, Bullying's an ugly thing, lets shove its face in the dirt and make bullying kill itself, wohwo, wohwo, wohwo!" "Boy you like my body, dance the move lets play, you can touch me anywhere accept for my vajayjay." God, this episode is great for the Butter's story, but it also has two of the best South Park songs ever written. 14:42 "I've been planting those apple seeds, and while the apples grow, I'm gonna go out jackin' it in San Diego!" Dash, if you're looking for your next review, try Going Native if you haven't already, An amazing Butters and Kenny pair up.
It's not the "wokeness", it's ppl having tough lives, isolating and dogpiling on one person to concentrate their anger on. And it's unfortunately instinctual behavior sometimes. Monkeys do that all the time with each other.
Another great episode! I am loving this series of reviews, keep up the good work. Season 10, episode 1. Stanley’s Cup. Would be my recommendation, good timing with the real stanly cup playoffs on the go.
They have alotttt of amazing songs, but definitely one of the funniest concepts they’ve written is this song about bullying, where they go on and on about how they’re gonna shove “the face of bullying” into the dirt, call it ugly and make it kill itself 💀💀 it’s actually a pretty good commentary on how a lot of the people think the “answer” to bullying is just to like beat up the bully, or bully them. I mean that’s what you always see as the “solution” in any tv show or movie, they always make everyone laugh at the bully and he cries and it’s a happy ending. That isn’t solving bullying lmao if the movie showed the bully getting the shit beaten out of him at home by his dad that would probably add another dimension. Most people would look at it differently, but the fact is people don’t WANT to look into that shit for any given bully bc its a lot easier to just pretend they love being evil for the sake of it and that’s that. I can think of these brothers that were sort of bullies in elementary - high school, they got expelled from elementary school and one got suspended in 6th grade for having cocaine in his backpack. It’s easy to just think those kids chose to be fuck ups, but I found out their dad and uncle were extremely physically abusive and I’m sure verbally to. Does that excuse him beating up some other kid? Of course not but it definitely insinuates it can stem from home, which is another thing they bring into the episode with Butters abusive grandma. It’s also very smart because obviously it’s sort of morbidly funny on the surface, just the idea of a grandma being the bully, but they’re making a commentary on how when the “bully” who’s physically and verbally abusing you is your own family member, it’s not as easy as just telling a teacher or standing up to them physically. People also act like it’s easy to just go tell the police but it isn’t, there’s a Stockholm syndrome involved when you’re a child who trusts the adults know better then you, and they’re telling you you’re worthless and that you deserved to be abused. You might not even know that doesn’t go on in other families until you go have a sleepover there, and maybe your mom isn’t physically abusive but she turns a blind eye to the fathers abuse. Then you tell CPS and they take you and your siblings away from your home, separate you and put you in a foster home, where you very well could be abused as well. That happened with those evil parents who kept their dozen kids hostage their entire lives, they were like chained to their beds and malnourished, couldn’t talk right and you’d think after that HELL the “child PROTECTIVE services” would PROTECT THEM, but many of those kids ended up being abused AGAIN in foster care. Which is actually ANOTHER episode South Park did that you should watch, “The Poor Kid” from season 15.
On the playground in grade school the rich kids would surround me and push be from behind over and over... until i got ahold of the slowest of them. In put him in the "piledriver" position and was about to plant the kid head first into the ground when a monitor came over to save him. He got off with me merely throwing him to the side, and i didn't accidentally kill a kid lol
4:50 I love it when Dash sees the offensive joke coming, composes himself thinking "they won't catch me slippin," then loses it anyways 🤣😂 Me favorite episode, Fam. Love the content as always. Now to request another fav: s8e8 (can't write out the title cuz my comment will get blocked loll)
Is there any way, you could do these South Park reactions with less time in between? I'm sure your busy with other life things. But I can't tell you how happy it makes me when a new one of these pops up. Love these videos and thank you.
The comments about putting the film online for everyone to see is in reference to some film from 2011 called 'Bully', wikipedia mentions this episode on the films page
How I delt with it is becoming like wallpaper where you know I’m there but don’t really acknowledge my existence I was so good at this that my teachers didn’t know if I was at school or not lol
Btw the guy who made kony 2012 never actually jacked it in San Diego. He did have a psychotic episode and walk around naked, but no one except for one woman trying to sure for mental health compensation ever claimed he was jacking it, every other witness to his episode said he wasnt, good interview about it on opera, guy was really going through it listening to it really made me understand how he got to that state.
yes I did have bullies in school, I was beaten up daily, and as usual the principal's office much like any form of ¨legal authority¨ in society, only exists to PUNISH YOU while always being powerless to help you: however, one day my uncle saw me get beat up and immediately picked me up from school and took me to an MMA gym he told me ¨im going to pick you up every day before exit time in school and you're going to train 3 months here, you will train Muay Thai, boxing, and BJJ and after those three months you're going to beat up those boys.¨ I obeyed him and I did just that so after 3 months I beat up those three other boys and as usual in these situations I got sent to the principal's office, I didn't beat them up too bad but there was blood and when asked ¨do you feel sorry for what you did?¨ I answered ¨im sorry I didn't kick the last guy in the ribs 3 more times before you stopped me¨ they called my uncle in and he basically asked for the security camera footage after it was shown they shut up and pulled the entire thing under the rug, I never even got the other boy's hospital bill. after that, i never got physically bullied in that school ever again. off course psychological shit nd herd mentality oriented ostracism was still a problem but at least i wasnt being beat up every day
I didn't know I had bullies until people congratulated me for standing up to them. The funny thing is, this happened to me twice, once in elementary and again in high school.
Dash is fully correct in this video, that everyone is bullying each other! Everyone locking the bathroom door to bully the other person, the grandma that everyone think is so sweet outwards but is a proper piece of crap to Butters. Even the Anti-bullying song just turns into how they bully the bully, to "make bullying k!ll itself". How the other kids push Butters to do the video even if he doesn't want to and in particular for Stan to push Butter's face, as Kyle says, as the "posterchild for bullying" in order to earn money! So yes, this episode is literally about how everyone bullies each other in one way or another. Not every bully or act of bullying is obvious. Even if someone thinks that the goals are noble (Anti-bullying) they still bully Butters into participating. Even the nice little grandma can be a horrible bully. Even with Jesus in the bathroom, hinting that Religion basically bully people into doing what they want under theeat of going to Hell =/
I love how Butters draws genuin heart felt reactions from people as if he is a real kid. He has to be my favorite character. The things that happen to him are just insane.

When I was in high school I was bullied by all the jocks and preps, until 80lb me decided to go crazy and bite, scratch, ball headbutt and stuff the bullies in their own lockers. After that everyone called me DevilMan (like the White Zombie song Supercharged Heaven) and no one dared bully me again. I had issues back then. I never apologized for putting the bullies in their place because they deserved it and they learned to leave the D&D nerds alone.
9:49 always gets me. It's absurd, but also realistic with the lengths bullies will go to to dismantle their victims strengths or sense of escape. Petty and childish, but invisible because it is coming from Grandma so it is misunderstood and never really solved by the actions that are intended to solve it.
Love how the Anti-Bully guy is actually a Bully. This happens so much in the real world
Oh man!! I forgot about Butter's speech to his grandma at the end!!!! That was epic!!
I was bullied briefly in school and I dealt with it the way Butters did Dr. Oz. It got me into some trouble admittedly but I got a reputation in my school after that and nobody bullied me again.
I wasn’t bullied, but my sister was bullied badly in high school. The school didn’t do much about it. It went on for months and she missed allot of school. My mum spoke to some of her friends at work who had slightly older kids. Basically, she arranged for older kids to bully the bullies. It worked. My sister never had problems again. The school was furious with my mum for taking that action, but they had no leg to stand on.
Conflict resolution is a load of BS, if you want to stop being bullied, or someone close to you from being bullied, the only solution is to give the bullies some of their own medicine.
I specifically love rewatching this episode just for that San Diego song at the end. That song is so hilarious.
Now Dash, no need to feel THAT bad for Butters. He clearly just already ate his lunch...A knuckle sandwich. :D
Make bullying kill itself. I love it. It's the same thing as "we tolerate everything except intolerance".
5:56 I wouldn't have gotten that Cyprss Ranch High School Lip Dub reference at all. Most YouTue reactors probably wouldn't either, and if they did, their explanation would have brought the video screeching to a halt. Dash found the reference and explained it while maintaining the flow of the video. This is part of wkat makes your videos a cut above most South Park reaction videos.
I was bullied throughout the entirety of middle school. I tried to handle it in a positive way but by 8th grade i was fed up and got into a fight with my main antagonizer. When entering highschool i found the pleasant surprise of being left alone for my last four years of grade school. Middle school tends to be the worst of it
11:19 This 100% confirms Stan has a little bit of Randy's personality in him.
a LITTLE bit of Randy Marsh is a good thing, notice the emphasis on little there
To be fair I think it’s gotten to the point where it’s not just a little bit of Randy in him, it’s quite a lot.
I love that Butter's sentiment to his grandma is applicable to so many old people that are currently trying to destroy people's lives just cause they don't like them living their lives lol
I love the references. I am Dutch, we obviously only get the world known jokes. Thank you for that.
The way butters wrecks her at the end is so epic
I had a lot of bullies in school. Kicking their asses solved the problem until someone else took advantage of my patience. Also being kind and helpful without ulterior motives to the girls, including the ones they were dating, unintentionally helped. they found out their or their friend's BF was giving me shit and then told the guys off. I heard one of them withheld horizontal fun times until she heard from me that he stopped. I wouldn't say be friendly and helpful with the expectation that it'll help, they can sense it. but if you are genuinely kind it may probably come back to you.
This was definitely a high tier episode with many layers too it. It was just amazing
Can I say I love how dash puts up every single pop culture reference. I didn't know captain kangaroo was a TV show. Just one of the simple things I love about your reaction Channel.
I had bullies all through elementary school, and I got into fights. But I never started it, threw a punch, or went after anyone else. I did happen to know submission techniques, so I used holds. Won every fight, and it helped to build a bit of character in me, that I could fight my own battles, if I needed to.
I know South Park is not one to sugarcoat treatment of anyone or anything.
But there are rare moments when Trey and Matt are unironically very profound. That last monologue from Butters is a decent life lesson when you’re dealing with people like his grandma.
Butters is secretly everyone’s favourite SP character!
My bullying came from a group of girls that were just merciless on me at the time. 9th grade was rough. Looking back, those same girls were also being groped by the math teacher with shoulder rubs and hair stroking. 1974 was a rough year for us all. After growing up, we are all friends now but those days were something else.
I was bullied by several people in my school for some years.
One day I had enough and started to fight them with my fists. I also spat in their faces.
Suddenly they stopped bullying me.
Dash Reacts are like crack I clicked on this video so fast as soon as I seen it lol
I was bullied by a majority of my middle school for being atheist. Had to move.
Great episode and reaction.
I was bullies all the way through public school and the class teacher was in on it. Then when I started to defend myself I got beaten by a student, I could barely walk and had bruises the size of soccer balls. The teacher said I wasn’t allowed to defend myself and made me apologize + shake the student’s hand in front of his and my class. The beating and bullying continued after that and no one did anything. To this day I have massive trust issues.
Sorry to hear that happened to you. Hope you are doing better. I had a similar thing happen when I was a kid.
The adults were the biggest issue for sure, just as you want to defend yourself they always blame you and take the side of the bullies, primitive apes.
Wow if I were in your shoes I wouldn’t let that happen personally I’d get my revenge but that’s just me tho
Poor dude...
That’s sad that happened to you. I personally didn’t get bullied because I bashed a kids head in who tried when I was little but one person tried to bully a friend of mine I took a social study, math, and science book and knocked his ass out when he wasn’t looking. Got in a good amount of trouble for that cause he was some bs football star. Point is I would have been the shit out of that kid for you had I been there. Hopefully you’re doing better today
I understand for copy right you couldn’t play the entire ‘Jacking it in San Diego’ song, but my God is that one of my favorite songs since I’m down the road from San Diego lol. Also, the waiting in the bathrooms saying “what’s up” always gets me in this episode.
This episode( and the other ones involving what happens with him throughout the series) makes a passive skill that Butters has in Stick of Truth THAT much more hilarious
I beat up my bullies because I tried everything else at that point. And when we realized I had to take matters into my own hands I realized: the only way to beat a bully is to make them know you won’t be pushed around.
Sometimes violence is the answer to bullying. However it must be applied like a suregon's scalpel.
11:48 the moment that proves Stan is definitely Randy's son.
At elementary, a kid was bullying by making fun of me while I was holding a dodge ball and I threw the all at his face and he cried. Later on he was acting cool with me because I defended myself. I wasn’t bullied at middle school all but at high school I have a friend who is kinda tough and would defend me so pretty much kids don’t start anything. But there’s this guy who’s harassing me because he just does and I got agitated and frustrated and yelled at him in pe class. Afterward he apologized and said he’ll leave me alone. All you gotta do is defend yourself and it’ll go away.
Such a great episode and such a great song about "San Diego". Butters really does have such a messed up family. It's amazing he's not a psychopath but he has that natural kindness in his heart that helps him through everything.
I had to deal with a bully in middle school. It lasted about about a day. I just waited until he tried to pick on me and I beat him up. I never had another problem from him.
I need more Dash Reacts to South Park in my life!
I love this episode. Butters is such a wholesome character.
9:51 😂😂😂😂
Jackin' for the laaaawd! Lmao cant help but sing that song at the end, they actually sang that song live at the red rocks concert lol🤣 everybody lost their minds 😂
Occasionally people would try to bully me. I didn't always win, but I always stood my ground. They wouldn't do it again either way.
Jackin’ it in San Diego is contender for my favourite South Park song 😂
Butters saying that his grandma is so true. And so real. My grandmother is homophobic, so she basically disowned me, still says horrible things about me to my mom and other family member’s, so I basically sent her a message that was similar to this.
I was bullied for almost every year in school. I got called ugly all the time, and people called me twitchy because of my nystagmus. One day in middle school, I called one of my bullies an inbred looking turd licker right in front of my math teacher and I never got in trouble for it.
There was also one girl in middle school choir who called me anorexic just because I could sit like L from Death Note in crappy school chairs.
3:37 Never thought I’d feel this bad for Mr. Mackey
Definitely need to do "going Native" another great Butters and Kenny episode
Bullying in the western United States was impossible to deal with until the day Matthew Shephard was beaten and left out to freeze to death outside of Laramie, Wyoming. That was the day our school teachers actually did their due diligence in protecting the children. That event shook and changed the social structures in Wyoming more-so than the Columbine attacks, which happened a few months after. The teachers all knew at that moment, nearly all of them could be implicated into endless lawsuits for the things some kids got away with in our school. Without that horrific event with Matthew Shephard, I believe the sui%$de rate in Wyoming would still match Japan's, if not completely decimate it. The west was not a happy place during the 90's...
I like how Stan is so much like Randy 😂😂😂
Butters's grandma is worst than his parents 😢
when it comes to bullying at school you always get all the useless solutions from the teachers "Just ignore them and they stop" - "Simply keep away from them" or my Favorit "dont worry, if we see something like this happen ,we will make sure to stop it." . You know the only thing that helps at the end? Graduating.
Than what’s your solution? Instead of complaining, give ideas. What would you have done if you were in the teacher’s shoes? You know that punishing the bully would also mean that the bully would retaliate on the kid who told on him
@@joey2765 Clearly you havent understood anything from what i wrote.
My point is, that there IS NO solution.
The teachers might as well say "just bare with it until you finish school" at least that way they would not be lie-ing with useless cliche solutions that never work.
When Kyle said this is an about bullying it’s about you(Stan), just makes me remember all the BLM Instagram blackouts and now is the LGBT and pronouns in the bios, it’s not about making a difference it’s Just selfish narcissism😂😂😂
Best South Park reactions by far
ive asked for this episode in the past 8-10 South Park vids u have posted... Well worth the wait glad you enjoyed it lmao
6:10 "Come on! Lets all put an end to bullying, Right now! 5, 6, 7, 8! Bullying isn't cool, bullying is lame, bullying is ugly, and has a stupid name, for a healthy world, bullying's unfit, and I think we all know, what we should do to it! Lets all get together, and try to make bullying kill itself, Bullying's an ugly thing, lets shove its face in the dirt and make bullying kill itself, wohwo, wohwo, wohwo!" "Boy you like my body, dance the move lets play, you can touch me anywhere accept for my vajayjay." God, this episode is great for the Butter's story, but it also has two of the best South Park songs ever written. 14:42 "I've been planting those apple seeds, and while the apples grow, I'm gonna go out jackin' it in San Diego!"
Dash, if you're looking for your next review, try Going Native if you haven't already, An amazing Butters and Kenny pair up.
Butters' grandma sounds exactly like Doris Roberts (Ray Barone's mom).
Would have been cool if she had done the voice.
The anti-bully who's actually a bully is a perfect example of woke people lol.
Yep.
And lizzo is the most recent example
It's not the "wokeness", it's ppl having tough lives, isolating and dogpiling on one person to concentrate their anger on. And it's unfortunately instinctual behavior sometimes. Monkeys do that all the time with each other.
They performed jacking it in San Diego at the South Park concert
the song is so funny as what they describing what they want to do to bullying is the physical act of bullying. I know thats the point its still funny.
Another great episode! I am loving this series of reviews, keep up the good work.
Season 10, episode 1. Stanley’s Cup. Would be my recommendation, good timing with the real stanly cup playoffs on the go.
They have alotttt of amazing songs, but definitely one of the funniest concepts they’ve written is this song about bullying, where they go on and on about how they’re gonna shove “the face of bullying” into the dirt, call it ugly and make it kill itself 💀💀 it’s actually a pretty good commentary on how a lot of the people think the “answer” to bullying is just to like beat up the bully, or bully them. I mean that’s what you always see as the “solution” in any tv show or movie, they always make everyone laugh at the bully and he cries and it’s a happy ending. That isn’t solving bullying lmao if the movie showed the bully getting the shit beaten out of him at home by his dad that would probably add another dimension. Most people would look at it differently, but the fact is people don’t WANT to look into that shit for any given bully bc its a lot easier to just pretend they love being evil for the sake of it and that’s that. I can think of these brothers that were sort of bullies in elementary - high school, they got expelled from elementary school and one got suspended in 6th grade for having cocaine in his backpack. It’s easy to just think those kids chose to be fuck ups, but I found out their dad and uncle were extremely physically abusive and I’m sure verbally to. Does that excuse him beating up some other kid? Of course not but it definitely insinuates it can stem from home, which is another thing they bring into the episode with Butters abusive grandma. It’s also very smart because obviously it’s sort of morbidly funny on the surface, just the idea of a grandma being the bully, but they’re making a commentary on how when the “bully” who’s physically and verbally abusing you is your own family member, it’s not as easy as just telling a teacher or standing up to them physically. People also act like it’s easy to just go tell the police but it isn’t, there’s a Stockholm syndrome involved when you’re a child who trusts the adults know better then you, and they’re telling you you’re worthless and that you deserved to be abused. You might not even know that doesn’t go on in other families until you go have a sleepover there, and maybe your mom isn’t physically abusive but she turns a blind eye to the fathers abuse. Then you tell CPS and they take you and your siblings away from your home, separate you and put you in a foster home, where you very well could be abused as well. That happened with those evil parents who kept their dozen kids hostage their entire lives, they were like chained to their beds and malnourished, couldn’t talk right and you’d think after that HELL the “child PROTECTIVE services” would PROTECT THEM, but many of those kids ended up being abused AGAIN in foster care. Which is actually ANOTHER episode South Park did that you should watch, “The Poor Kid” from season 15.
"Captain Kangaroo'' Bob Keeshan made efforts to have spanking eliminated in schools in the early 90s. ❤
missed you dash, this ep had a great commentary on bullying and you always catch on to their references and jokes. thats why i love this channel
Hah! I see my comment! Thanks Dash! Keep it up!
5:56 Whoa, I didn't know that was a meme call-out.
On the playground in grade school the rich kids would surround me and push be from behind over and over... until i got ahold of the slowest of them. In put him in the "piledriver" position and was about to plant the kid head first into the ground when a monitor came over to save him. He got off with me merely throwing him to the side, and i didn't accidentally kill a kid lol
WOW I didn't know this was a parody from an actual video. School had certainly changed since I went lol
4:50 I love it when Dash sees the offensive joke coming, composes himself thinking "they won't catch me slippin," then loses it anyways 🤣😂
Me favorite episode, Fam. Love the content as always. Now to request another fav: s8e8 (can't write out the title cuz my comment will get blocked loll)
I actually had no idea that the naked in San Diego part was actually related to an event. LMAO hilarious.
Is there any way, you could do these South Park reactions with less time in between? I'm sure your busy with other life things. But I can't tell you how happy it makes me when a new one of these pops up. Love these videos and thank you.
The comments about putting the film online for everyone to see is in reference to some film from 2011 called 'Bully', wikipedia mentions this episode on the films page
Captain Kangaroo is the anti-bullying counselor? It was in 1955 that Captain Kangaroo began. He (captain. Kangaroo) had a buddy named Mr. Green jeans.
How I delt with it is becoming like wallpaper where you know I’m there but don’t really acknowledge my existence I was so good at this that my teachers didn’t know if I was at school or not lol
Welcome back Dash, hopefully your absence wasn't because of Butters' Grandma bullying you 😂
Btw the guy who made kony 2012 never actually jacked it in San Diego. He did have a psychotic episode and walk around naked, but no one except for one woman trying to sure for mental health compensation ever claimed he was jacking it, every other witness to his episode said he wasnt, good interview about it on opera, guy was really going through it listening to it really made me understand how he got to that state.
Butters' parents being "strict" is the least of their faults when it comes to their raising of Butters.
yes I did have bullies in school, I was beaten up daily, and as usual the principal's office much like any form of ¨legal authority¨ in society, only exists to PUNISH YOU while always being powerless to help you: however, one day my uncle saw me get beat up and immediately picked me up from school and took me to an MMA gym he told me ¨im going to pick you up every day before exit time in school and you're going to train 3 months here, you will train Muay Thai, boxing, and BJJ and after those three months you're going to beat up those boys.¨ I obeyed him and I did just that so after 3 months I beat up those three other boys and as usual in these situations I got sent to the principal's office, I didn't beat them up too bad but there was blood and when asked ¨do you feel sorry for what you did?¨ I answered ¨im sorry I didn't kick the last guy in the ribs 3 more times before you stopped me¨ they called my uncle in and he basically asked for the security camera footage after it was shown they shut up and pulled the entire thing under the rug, I never even got the other boy's hospital bill.
after that, i never got physically bullied in that school ever again. off course psychological shit nd herd mentality oriented ostracism was still a problem but at least i wasnt being beat up every day
I didn't know I had bullies until people congratulated me for standing up to them. The funny thing is, this happened to me twice, once in elementary and again in high school.
Dash is fully correct in this video, that everyone is bullying each other! Everyone locking the bathroom door to bully the other person, the grandma that everyone think is so sweet outwards but is a proper piece of crap to Butters. Even the Anti-bullying song just turns into how they bully the bully, to "make bullying k!ll itself". How the other kids push Butters to do the video even if he doesn't want to and in particular for Stan to push Butter's face, as Kyle says, as the "posterchild for bullying" in order to earn money!
So yes, this episode is literally about how everyone bullies each other in one way or another. Not every bully or act of bullying is obvious. Even if someone thinks that the goals are noble (Anti-bullying) they still bully Butters into participating. Even the nice little grandma can be a horrible bully.
Even with Jesus in the bathroom, hinting that Religion basically bully people into doing what they want under theeat of going to Hell =/
