South Park Season 13 Episode 7! (Fatbeard) (Patreon)

What a perfect nickname for Cartman in this pirate-themed episode.

Initially I thought I could contribute a little to this particular episode; I definitely had something of a pirate phase in my youth where I was fascinating to no end with pirate history and culture and timelines and names. Even considering Pirates of the Caribbean and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, I thought I could make out any references or jabs at either franchise or at the very least compare them to the episode.

Buuuuut no, the episode more centered on references specific events that I had never even heard of, so alas, I did not feel that most of my pirate knowledge and commentary would be worth contributing to this episode.

That said, it was still fun in it's own way. And crazy. Legitimately, HOW many cults or crazy fan clubs has Cartman led up to this point? His charisma and uncaringness of others let's him do it so easily, but still. The kids and adults both in this show are absolutely dumb, it's hysterical and tragic at the same time.
