History YMMV / SouthParkS22E6TimeToGetCereal

* BrokenBase: Parker and Stone's changing views on global warming naturally provoked accusations of "selling out" from fans who subscribed to the anti-environmentalist mindset pushed by original episodes.

* MisaimedFandom: When asked about it on Series/TheDailyShow Al Gore was happy to hear the changing viewpoints and for the scene where the boys apologize for not believing him before. Despite that as mentioned above, they still mock him personally for the above reasons.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: To the original [=ManBearPig=] episode. Here, Parker and Stone make it clear that global warming is a real threat, not just a fantasy made by Al Gore. That said, they still chastise Gore for the fact that he smugly revels in being proven right without actually doing anything to fix the problem. He is still an AttentionWhore, albeit one that was right.

* CatharsisFactor: For environmentalists, the sight of a [=ManBearPig=] denier getting killed by Manbearpig after switching his argument from "it isn't real" to "what about China?"

* MoralEventHorizon: Harrison Yates crosses it when he wrongfully arrests the four boys for the school shootings and [=ManBearPig's=] rampage, just so he can quickly get the case over with and go home to play his video game.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Don't ignore pressing issues because it can be too late to stop them if they arrive.
** Shortly after that, don't try to excuse ''further'' inaction on your part by saying that others won't do it, so why should you? Otherwise, [[SpaceWhaleAesop a ManBearPig will gnaw your head off]].
** Just because certain people are correct about a threat doesn't mean they're up to the task of fixing it, and may just be smug assholes who are content to say "I told you so." Everyone may remember Film/AnInconvenientTruth, but Gore himself [[{{Hypocrite}} helped prop up the very Fossil Fuel companies that made Climate Change a problem in the first place]] while he was Vice President.
** That said, Al Gore was still right about the dangers of Global Warming, so the kids apologizing? It's to show that sometimes you just need to suck it up and admit when you're wrong.

That said, they still chastise Gore for the fact that he smugly revels in being proven right without actually ''doing anything'' to fix the problem. Though to be fair, he probably has every right to considering how badly they made him out to be in the previous episode.

* HolyShitQuotient: A minor example, but hearing Ned talk for the first time in seventeen years [[note]]apart from a 2009 video game[[/note]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: To the original Manbearpig episode. Here, Parker and Stone make it clear that global warming is a real threat, not just a fantasy made by Al Gore. Though they didn't stop at making fun of his [[ItsAllAboutMe ego based out of his genuine concerns, which his departure is a movie credit that emphasized himself]].

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Don't ignore pressing issues because it can be too late to stop them if they arrive. Also the fact that the episode act as Matt and Trey's OldShame for their mockery of issues on [[GlobalWarming climate change]].

* RealitySubtext: The episode can easily be read as Parker and Stone realizing that they were wrong to blow off global warming as a non-threat in past episodes of ''South Park'' and apologizing for doing so.
** TheReveal that it was Stan's grandpa who made the deal with Manbearpig seems to imply on how the Baby Boomers (and the Gen Xers to a smaller extent) made economic and political decisions that had short-term benefits and long-term consequences, which would screw over their grandchildren and any of their descendents.
