YMMV / South Park S17 E3 "World War Zimmerman"

Go To

  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • George Zimmerman getting praised for shooting Cartman in Blackface is already funny, but Zimmerman getting arrested, tried, and executed in record time because his victim turned out to be white becomes even funnier.
    • Tolkien getting shot by Cartman is quite shocking, but quickly shifts to funny when Mr. Mackey defends the shooting because Cartman was "standing his ground", which Tolkien protests against.
      Tolkien: And why does standing your ground not apply to fucking white people?!
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The episode knew a lot of changes in its plot (and even release date, as it should have been the season premiere) before airing, infamously like the movie it parodies.
  • The Woobie: Tolkien gets shot by Cartman while the latter gets away with it due to both the "Stand Your Ground" law and Mr. Mackey's incompetence.
