South Park (TV Series) The Worldwide Privacy Tour (2023) User Reviews

Hilarious. On the nose. Commentary. Victim

[nothattherguy · 9/10 · 21 February 2023]

The worldwide privacy tour is South Park's take on Harry and Megan demanding privacy... while doing interviews, writing books and making a Netflix docuseries. This episode is hilariously on point as the Prince and Princess of Canada do everything they possibly can to draw attention to themselves while demanding you to "respect our privacy!"

This leads to many hilarious bits like the Canadian royals going on the titular "Worldwide Privacy tour", getting kicked out of multiple states and towns for being a nuisance and ending up in South Park, flying a private jet on the street to get to their new home (Cartman's old house) and lighting fireworks and playing polo in the front yard at 10:30 at night.

This episode is so on the nose that as of writing this review (02/21/23) Harry and Megan were rumored to be threatening to sue South Park because the parodying was "mean".

But the A plot isn't the only thing worth talking about in this episode, the B plot focuses on Kyle wanting to improve his image by "working on his brand". Only to realize by the end the only thing that matters is being yourself, and in this era where so many people are afraid to be themselves I think that is something that needs more attention.

Overall 9/10, this an excellent episode and will probably be the the best episode of the season. I mean how do you top this?!

About Time!

[jakethedouglas · 8/10 · 17 February 2023]

This was an amazing Episode. So much truth to it, and it hilariously mocks those two losers. Everything it depicts of them speaks to me, and I love how the concept of "victimization" is brought up in this episode. However, what stops me from giving this episode a greater rating is the fact that it wasn't as funny as I had hoped it would be. Don't get me wrong, loved the jokes and the lampooning of Meghan and Harry the clowns, but did I laugh as hard and as frequently as I have before at other episodes, not really. I feel like Matt and Trey could have done so much more with that episode. Aside from the comedy, I loved this episode, everything it brings up holds a lot of truth, and I hope to see more great episodes like this in the future! Off to a good start for season 26!

How interesting

[ericstevenson · 9/10 · 16 February 2023]

This episode is about the death of Elizabeth II, but it's a lot more about Prince Harry and. Meghan Markle. I admit to not keeping up with them. A lot of it follows Kyle who tries to fit in with his friends more. He gets advice from Butters who talks about branding himself. I see a lot of Butters being crude. I guess the future episode was quite accurate.

This was honestly quite heartwarming. It wasn't especially vulgar or anything. I mistook the ads in the episode for actual ads! You know they're effective! I liked the gag about him looking inside her. Trust me, it's not dirty at all. ***1/2.

South Park, You have a new admirer

[qywqsfktf · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

This is the first time I have watched South Park. My sons were avid followers when they were at home but I think I felt I was too old at the time. Now, years later, I am loving this! You have captured the essence of the Prince and his wife perfectly. You have a real eye for detail.

I also loved that you emphasised the fact that the two main characters were so out of touch with the rest of the world. So on point. Hilarious.

My eldest son couldn't believe that I was watching it. But he had to admit it was extremely funny and also very true to life.

I will definitely be watching in the future. I am so glad I have lots of South Park to catch up on.

Spot On

[Princess_Raptor · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

This is what SP used to be! Anyone that dropped their jaw at the blatant hypocrisy of these two would delight in the much needed call out! It was hilarious and savage. I spit out my drink at the window scene. I almost felt sorry but thought of how inconsiderate they've been, which was highlighted perfectly, and said Nah! I would love if they did one with the RF family watching this and commentary from them. Or one with the petulant duo watching. There is so much material! Maybe do a 6 hour Netflix special.

I really hope this is a sign the OG show is going back to how it was. There is so much out there to savage besides these two. At least this one may bring new fans.

Hilariously Accurate!

[eddidvd · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

Great episode! Provides some good laughs (Butters' fight scene killed me)! They really didn't have to do much parody on the subject of the "Canadian" royal family since most of what's shown is exactly what Harry and Meghan are doing. Harry being pressured into this persona by Meghan also rings true since he always seems out of place and unwanted in all those interviews and Netflix specials. Throughout the episode, Kyle was constantly talking about the royal Canadians that moved next door and I honestly believe that the rest of the boys found the perfect way to deal with them: IGNORE THEM!

I especially enjoyed Matt and Trey basically saying that Meghan is an empty shell of a person on the inside, not because she's "ethnic" but because of her "brand":)

Really very FUNNY and ACCURATE!

[Gr8Manifester · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

I found myself laughing more than I have laughed in months! I haven't tuned in to South Park for YEARS! But this episode really caught my attention. For two people who wanted PRIVACY somehow they ended up in HOLLYWOOD doing a reality show, an interview with Oprah, Spotify podcasts, magazine covers, and Harry writing a book that includes talking about his first time having intercourse, his frozen todger that reminds him of his MOTHER and how Meghan tells Harry after intercourse "that's not a Spare. That's a man". Harry went on a MEDIA tour for the book all for the sake of PRIVACY! It really doesn't get anymore ridiculous than this couple and SouthPark NAILED IT! Thank you!!

Spot on!

[mudlarkbazaar · 10/10 · 18 February 2023]

Hilarious and says what so many of us have been saying for three years or more about the weird spectacle that is Harry and Meghan. Lots of favourite moments, but the magazine covers were a definite highlight.

I don't think the creators missed a single thing, from a strategically placed candle to the messy hair MM seems to think is attractive. And I think various characters speak for all of us when they say that no one wants to be faced anymore with the "dumb prince and his stupid wife."

If you're fascinated by the bizarre nature of celebrity culture in general, and the "Prince and Princess of Canada" in particular, this is definitely worth watching.

Perfection!

[Linda-18601 · 10/10 · 18 February 2023]

Thanks to Matt and Trey for capturing the nonsense of H&M. The episode captured many highlights, but missed a couple, such as the 'evolving bump' and their numerous misinterpretations of reality (or more commonly known as lies to most people); however, the show was only approximately 25 minutes. : ) I think I may have missed some of the subtle things, so I will have to watch again. Loved the yellow candle sticks.

I would love to know the viewing numbers for this episode because it is being discussed internationally. This is my first post, so I don't know if yellow candle sticks would be considered a spoiler, so I will click yes.

Congratulations for creating an amazing episode!!

Better

[carlgarethnorton · 6/10 · 23 February 2023]

It's an improvement on episodes over the last few seasons, dark humour has sorely been missed.

Ripping on Harry and meghan was funny, nothing spectacular or original, but after 26 series, its going to be difficult to achieve that

Wasn't bad, wasn't amazing, this seasons opening 2 episodes have been alright so far, hopefully they continue. I hope we get to see some classic Cartmen, up to his schemes and pure ignorance of everything and anything around him.

Would be great to see some classic characters maybe, or some really 'out there' episodes which are stupidly clever, it's been abit flat in that retrospect but still better than most adult animated shows, and still the goat.

Fantastic documentary

[Impman2 · 10/10 · 21 February 2023]

Who'd have thought that 2 self centred millionaires constantly playing the victim would have repercussions?

I've not watched South Park for many years but was drawn back by this episode. Initially I thought it was a documentary as it was so accurate in it's portrayal of these 2 narcicissts. It is a very, very amusing episode... Prince Harry has made the mistake of thinking he can control the media and the narrative, well thankfully he can't as we still live in a free world. Talking of 'World' I think the title of this episode 'The world-wide privacy tour' is an absolute stroke of genius.

A big thank you from the people of Britain to the South Park team. X.

this actually made me laugh

[vincentviolet-65071 · 6/10 · 23 February 2023]

I haven't liked South Park in years. I still don't think it is as good as it used to be and probably never will be again, but I have to admit.this episode was kind of funny. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been annoying and they were kind of asking for this. The world privacy tour song was actually funny. I still thought all the brand stuff was kind of crap. You are going to get a lot of people over rating this episode. It was funny, but not as funny as classic South Park. I did like how it was willing to just be silly. To me that is when South Park is at its best. I don't like when they make 3 part episodes with complex stories that try to tell social and political messages. I like it when they are just dumb blunt and funny.

Mildly diverting

[evening1 · 2/10 · 25 February 2023]

I hadn't seen "South Park" since a very humorous Mongorians segment years ago, when my two sons brought the series to my attention. Judging by this unjustifiably notorious episode, the show hasn't aged well.

Here we have some unclever and repetitious jibes aimed at Prince Harry and Meghan, who allegedly desire privacy but incessantly try to draw attention to themselves.

The first time we hear the couple speak it's slightly interesting, but never quite approaches laugh-worthy. Having to constantly bounce back to the foul-mouthed South Park guy and his brand-building buddy is frustrating and dull. I kept wondering when the punch line would come.

In all, this is much ado about significantly less than nothing. Not worth tracking down online to see what the fuss is about.

Hilarious

[chxfd · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

This episode is hilarious! The behavior of these two self absorbed, narcissistic people is spot on.

The best part of this is that it is not parody or satire. It is based on facts and documented words and behaviors. They are such hypocrites that I can't imagine how anyone with any sense can support them. They scream privacy but very easily strip that privacy away from themselves and of others. Their need to be the center of attention is quite obvious I would like KC to strip their titles. I hope the world is starting to take notice, and mock them!!! Please gives us more episodes of the "dumb prince and his stupid wife".

Rofl

[markara-84892 · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

I always enjoyed South Park but this episode is truly a classic. They nailed the endless hypocrisy of the Dumb prince and his stupid wife. The frozen blue todger flailing against the window, the book title, I mean could it be any funnier? I always love when the holier than thou are reminded of how ridiculous their hypocrisy is and there's no better forum than South Park to do. I mean you know you've made the big time of notoriety when you get ruthlessly skewered on South Park. Makes me pray the dumb prince publishes those pages he supposedly held out just so we can get another epic episode. Bravo.

Funny whilst highlighting fake people

[caraj-24273 · 10/10 · 18 February 2023]

Brilliant as it hits the nail right on the head about what is wrong with the world and people wanting to be perceived in a certain way when they are nothing like that and playing the victim instead when challenged or not getting their own way.

Using the "Prince of Canada" and his wife highlights this in a funny way and just shows how ridiculous the whole branding concept is, unless you are genuinely wanting to be something people can see through this unless you back it up with actual actions.

My favourite moments include the book named waaaggh as it always was a wingefest after living a life of privilege and obviously my Instagram loving ##@!# wife.

Absolutely Brilliant

[goo-78447 · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

I am a fervent watcher of South Park and this is definitely one of the best episodes I have watched. Incredible work... and so much truth in it too.

The best part of this is that it is not parody or satire. It is rooted in fact. I have long wondered about the importance (or not) of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, depicted here as Prince of Canada and his dumb wife. They are such hypocrites that one imagines how Hollywood or any well meaning person can support them. They scream privacy but very easily strip that privacy away by themselves. Their need to be seen as nice is their greatest undoing. Typical narcissism. And I am glad the world is starting to take notice, and mock them!!!

Kudos!

Matt and Trey do it again.

[ferozc137 · 10/10 · 16 February 2023]

The power of empathy and the power of being a victim.

This episode (similar to episodes that dealt with the depression of Stan) is about mental health and the power of empathy. Kyle's is missing games session with the boys because his little brother Ike is using the computer watching the vidoes of the Queen of Canada and is mourning for her( FYI Ike is Canadian and so am I lol). Kyle feels left out and in order to feel good he works hard image through victim mentality. He feels victim of his brother (family) and prince and his wife making all the noise ( the world ). Unfortunately he becomes further away from his friends.

Then he learns empathy and allows others (Ike) to feel whatever he wants to feel, and allows himself to feel whatever he feels without caring too much about others opinion. The lesson? Empathize and remind ourselves that we are only human and others are humans too.

On the other side, the princess stays in the victim mentality and the prince does not ( we all knew that somehow though)

Nailed it as always!

[pcwwwmjpf · 10/10 · 18 February 2023]

The South Park team are the best social commentators we have and their attention to detail is incredible. Rather than just making sweeping statements it is clear they have actually trawled through hours of real life footage and articles to curate even the smallest of details in the animation.

In this episode they lay out bare and unfiltered the hypocrisy of the current trend for having a famous brand image rather than actually having substance. Sadly a social trend we are seeing far too much of, so like most episodes it provides not only loads of laughs but also an important message.

If you haven't watched it yet, it is a must-see!!

Why the praise? It's average..

[askeland89 · 6/10 · 4 January 2024]

Granted it was the best episode of 2023 but the standards were not particularly high. This episode did remind me of classic South Park yes, but if it released 20 years ago you wouldn't even bat an eye.. The standards are now so low that it tricks you into believing that average episodes like this is more special than they actually are.. Your expectations is reduced to absolute zero! It's not even top 100 material if you ask me. It had me laughing a few times but laugther should be a minium requirement for a comedy show. It was not memorable and it will not be remembered 50 years from now.

I repeat: This is average!!

Brilliant, spot on, very well done

[ever-lilith · 10/10 · 20 February 2023]

I live in the UK and I relate a lot to this episode. South Park very accurately spoofed a couple who is extremely entitled, narcissistic, greedy, pointless, shallow, and has annoyed everyone and overstayed their welcome everywhere. Our pain was finally shown in such an accurate way. Well done South Park, I really loved this episode, I watched it already various times and will keep watching it over and over again. Please keep up the good work. And if the entitled pointless couple try to sue you, please please just do a new episode about them trying to sue you and spoof them again. You made so many people happy with this episode!

Truth at last!

[carolyntierney-78871 · 10/10 · 18 February 2023]

Brilliant episode, from start to finish. The detail is unbelievable and makes even more hilarious, have to rewatch to catch them all. I think it resonated so much because media in general are afraid to call out these two and refreshing to see there is no restriction with comedy...it actually reflects the true story of what these two have been striving for and I can imagine they are confused and bewildered as to how SP saw straight through it when it's actually what millions of people have been thinking for a very long time. Bravo Southpark! I can imagine they have gained many new fans from across the world as we all watched with pure joy at this enactment of H and Ms life.

Finnaly.. It seems like South Park is comming back !

[martinsmarkss · 10/10 · 16 February 2023]

Since season 20s South Park has been pretty terrible (Up till season 20 South Park was brilliant!) Finally... South Park is coming back! Seems funny and edgy again though not as good as pre-season 20! Wished it would be more daring like it used to be or had so stupid jokes that they actually got very funny! Seems South Park is playing too safe lately! That was one of the best things about good old South Park they didn't care what people would say they used to make fun of pretty much of everyone! Nice to see something relevant although I don't like how much kid personalities have changed, and there are no more lessons! Wished more adult characters were involved!

South Park Did It Again

[martinda-657-120869 · 10/10 · 18 February 2023]

I have been finding my favorite shows lacking in substance. Just when I thought that no TV show would be able to make me laugh, South Park did it. I didn't think anyone would date do these two as a comedy subject, but South Park hit it out of the park (literally). From the "We want privacy" theme to the drawing of attention to themselves, I laughed. Drums and fireworks to draw attention is a good was a good way to lose privacy. And the mags-nice touch. The show was funny, relevant, joke in a joke, and what I remember made this show the best in old days. Keep it up South Park and I will be back.

The best H & M content!

[pamsmitty · 10/10 · 17 February 2023]

Thank you South Park for producing what the Americans truly feel about H&M. As H&M went on a tour recently blaming the British press for everything and anything they could, it was brilliant to see them parading around the world via their private jet with their signs. This is exactly what they have been doing. This was hysterical, accurate and we cannot wait to see the next episode with them trying to sue South Park! I am sad I didn't see M on the floor crying or attempting to curtsey but hoping the next episode has some of those shenanigans. Maybe a single tear from her left eye! Or maybe some non existent paparazzi chasing them!!! Il.
