The symposium is interrupted, of course, by Satan.

As the body count grows, the town holds a quiet symposium called “When Should I Start To Worry?” in which the host and a group of people civilly debated when they should… start to worry about ManBearPig. The adults, as it turns out, still seem skeptical and unsure what they should do. That extended into a second episode this week, entitled “Nobody Got Cereal?” Gore returned, and the kids finally believed him and asked for his help to fix a creature that’s ravaging the town and killing people. The Season 10 episode lampooned Gore for making the South Park boys look for a creature that pretty clearly didn’t exist.īut as climate change-fueled wildfires rage on the West Coast in the real world and extreme weather happens more and more, Trey Parker and Matt Stone offered what appeared to be a sincere apology by way of making ManBearPig quite real in an episode that aired last week. Gore’s hunt for ManBearPig was a pretty naked parody of the former presidential candidate and vice president’s efforts to raise awareness about climate change. As it turns out, that apology was big enough to last two episodes. South Park brought back an infamous bit last week when it apologized for not taking climate change, and Al Gore, seriously enough.
