The speech that Butters gives at the end of the episode raisins, just hits diffrent.

I think my favorite part about Butters as a character is his emotional resiliency. His parents are horribly abusive, his grandmother bullies him relentlessly and his friends treat him like an option. But despite all this, he remains cheerful and ready to bounce back from whatever happens. Just don’t take him to a tap dancing conference. Massive congrats to you for your subscriber milestone as your videos are expertly done and thoroughly entertaining! Not to pigeonhole you into doing more South Park, but I would love to see a tier list of ranking the best songs/musical numbers from South Park, lol. ❤️

Raisins is legit one of my all time favorite South Park episodes. Anytime I suffer from heartbreak, I watch this episode to remind me that everything will be okay since the sadness won't be permanent. Yes, the pain hurts, but it's still a fresh start, so take the bad with the good. It legit cheered me up when my closest special someone called off the relationship a few months ago and I feel the pain Stan (and eventually Butters) feels. Plus, the episode can still be funny while portraying the message in a very well done manner and I think that shows how strong the writing of this show can be.

The spectrum on which Matt and Trey can make us feel emotional or comical and anywhere in between is one of the main reasons why South Park has to be considered one of the greatest TV shows to ever air.

The Jimmy Wendy joke is so good

I've been Stan before, and I've learned to become Butters at the end. This episode is legendary, one that's aged probably the most amazingly out of all the episodes.

South Park is weird because it's managed to be offensive to every type of human you can think of, has had terrorists threaten them, etc and somehow occasionally manages to touch your heart

I think this was the episode that really made me fall in love with Butters as a character. He's just such a wonderfully sweet kid, and I so badly wanna give him a hug when he's sitting out in the rain after his breakup.

That speech from Butters genuinely made me feel like I found the meaning of life, as if all the pieces of reality finally fit into place. That speech simultaneously breaks and strengthens my heart. Bravo Vin- I mean Matt and Trey speech

"Token, right here buddy" gets me every time haha

My SO recently broke up with me, thought she was the one. It really hurt me at the time and it still hurts now. Remembering Butters' monologue makes me push on a little harder because I was lucky enough to be able to feel love at one point. This was a much needed video for me, thanks Blooms!

I saw this episode when I was 13 in a time when I was insecure and it really stuck with me all these years later, that's why it is my all time favourite in the whole show 💗 Butter's quote at the end truly gets me through the worst of times and makes me feel not afraid to be depressed, cry etc. And the goth kids are a bonus too!

South Park will always have a special place in everyone’s hearts. Some may say the show is offensive, violent and lowbrow, but moments from South Park shows us how to laugh when we in a situation. In the words of Lolly the Grey cat from Animal Crossing, “Laughter is the best Medicine.”

...this is crazy. I have never seen this episode before, and that line that Stan said? "You think heartbreak is just a figure of speech. But it's true. My chest hurts." ...I've said that EXACT same thing. I have never felt this understood in my life, and nothing has ever made me cry so instantly. Thanks for showing me, Blooms.

South Park actually opened my eyes multiple times as a kid. What a fantastic show.

I recently started quoting the "beautiful sadness" part of this video after experiencing a similar romantic loss. Love you guys for talking about this episode.

Two of my favorite Stan centric epsiode is this one Raisins and You're Getting Old they're just so realistic

Butters is my favorite character mostly because of this episode and his great little monologue

Duuude, this was the first episode of South Park I've ever seen. I was like 14, and I was in a place where this episode meant so much to me. Thanks for this video!

i’ve just come out of the worst heartbreak i’ve ever had in this last month so i loved this one, raisins resonated with me and this video was perfect. thank you

Butters speech in Raisins is beautiful. Raisins is for sure in my top 10 episodes of the greatest show of all time

I just had a really heartbreaking breakup this week and I really needed this video. Thank you for making this video.

I love this episode so much it is even one of the few episodes to make me cry Because this episode tackles the struggles of breaking up and moving on and that's something i learned later in the years coming, i love both stan and butters learn to accept themselves

I’ve been binge watching your videos recently and I’m really proud of you man! You’ve came so far in such short time and I’m happy for you

bro i legit watched this episode after a breakup and it helped

I have been saying since the early 2000s that this show is the best satire of modern culture around, owing to scathing writing, unwillingness to surrender to pressure and it’s short turnaround time. If humans make it another 100 years, they’ll study this show to examine society as we lived it.

your video essays about South Park just feel so right. It's like you were the perfect person to make videos about this sort of thing. I genuinely can't think of South Park anymore without thinking of your channel

One of my favorite parts of the Raisins episode is the use of old power ballads.

i dealt with heartbreak for the first time in my life at the beginning of the year, when i rewatched raisins recently , i really got emotional.

youre doing such a good job. i know you once said you dont wanna become a south park channel, but its working out. i hope its fun

I've just experienced my first heartbreak. We were together for nearly 7 years, from our early teens to young adulthood. It came completely out of the blue and I really thought everything was okay till it happened. He just didn't feel the same way about me anymore, there was no reason or catalyst. He still cares about me deeply, likes me as a person, just doesn't love me. Meanwhile I still deeply love and adore him. He didn't do anything wrong apart from the way he broke up with me. He didn't communicate his feelings to me, kept saying 'love you too' to my messages up until the day he left me. It really was like he died having loved me only to leave a note saying he didn't. We spoke it through a few days later and he didn't mean to hurt me, reality is hes always struggled with communication. Its been less than a week and honestly it's killing me from the inside. I miss everything about him, I miss talking to him everyday about anything, I miss him so much. I know this feeling will go at some point and maybe one day I'll be able to talk to him again as friends but life really hurts right now. It feels stupid to say but I agree with butters. The reality is there's too much in my life I love and even though he was the one I loved the most, I can't give up because I lost him. I'll always love the time we had together and I know he will too, we grew up together and we're seared onto each others hearts, even if we're not a couple anymore. At some point I'll be okay again, but for now I need this beautiful sadness.

Your page got me into South Park. Grief over someone you love sucks. Honestly I didn’t know the stages of it but I went through each one and was in disbelief of how accurate it was. Idk which stage I’m in… but I’ll tell you this. Laughter is such an amazing healing technique, time I’ve heard heals all wounds but laughter - it’s the best.

Episodes like this is why I praise the writing of South Park. The writing in this legendary show is absolutely genius, and I appreciate you covering this episode! Keep up the amazing work!

This felt more like a summary than an analysis.

The butters speech literally changed and maybe even saved my life

The Stan/Wendy/Tolkien scene was a play on the movie Say Anything where John Cusak holds up a boombox playing In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. The joke is that Stan played the wrong, and given the circumstances, easily most inappropriate PG song he could possibly play.

this is one of my favorite videos from you, i love the deeper dives into specific episodes. one thing i hope to see you talk about is the loss of control and what it does to a person, as shown in 24 1 pandemic special (stans freedom) 5 09 osama bin laden has farty pants (sharons peace of mind) 7 10 grey dawn (grandpas age) i see it as 3 separate stages of life dealing with uncomfortable times in their own respective ways, but would love to hear you break it down further. just an idea :)

I'm glad you hit 100k and did the face reveal immediately! It takes a lot of courage and besides some youtubers don't do it until over a million subs.

This episode is just one of many examples of why Butters is the absolute best

I love how this show is at the same time the most stupid, and the most clever. How this show can make us laugh with a group of adult men boucing on their balls and make us cry with a really compeling plot, and strong message.There is not and there will never be another show like that. We should enjoy every single episode as if it was the last. Even among fans, we argue on the message behind some episodes, especially in episodes with very polarizing subject. But still we all laugh at the end, even I do on episodes that go against my opinion. That's the magic, the beauty behind this show

I remember being younger and seeing raisins after a bad breakup that left me feeling like the world was over and then I heard butters speech at the end and it just all kinda snapped back together and I still look at most bad things that happen like a beautiful sadness after the fact because it's the truth. So you DO have to take the bad with the good.

Whenever I'm going through any kind of heartbreak I always remember this episode

south park is truly a masterpiece

It's so crazy that the most abused and beaten down character in South Park is arguably one of the most mentally healthy.

Episodes like this remind me just how intelligent of a show South Park is.

I think it was Trey Parker who was going through a divorce at some point so I assumed it was kind of like Stan (Trey) and Kyle (Matt) just telling us how they dealt with the subject matter. I think the whole message butters gives is the greatest touch on an episode of television period man. Great jokes and a beautiful message

My girlfriend of 4 years broke up with me recently, it definitely never gets any easier but that's life just gotta keep moving forward

Raisins was definitely a really great episode of South Park. Even though I am single, never had an actual girlfriend, never been in a real relationship. I would understand what it would be like but I feel like this is what it would be like if I was in a relationship.

My god, he is literally me

11:58 "dealing with it the right way", stan proceed to call wendy a bitch n flip off tolken, i was like LOL. But then after thinking abit about it, its true, i had my heat broken after my "friends" convinced my ex girlfriend to dump me n bully the shit out of me. I was depressed for awhile, then i realise the best way is to let go, so i just found new friends n start fresh, ive now got very supportive friends, and a beautiful wife. The funny thing is..... i found out my "friends", two of them is now in jailcuz of drug charges, one of them is bankcrupted, another one is now working in my company, but the difference is im in executive leadership role, n hes an entry level office admin. As for my ex, she got married n seems to be doing fine, we r just in different world, we wont work out, but we bumped into each other a while back, we recognise each othe n gave each other a smile and a nod, n we went off on our way. I thought it would have been awkward, but it was actually beautiful, it gave me a true closure because im very over her

Thanks for covering this ep! This one means alot to me When my first major relationship fell apart I took it really hard. I cried and stayed in bed for 3 days. At this time I was also searching to see if Christianity was legit. When I finally pulled myself together to leave my bed and have some dinner this ep was on TV. The timing was unreal, I saw that as God helping me get through. That was many years ago, and that experience stayed with me but it helped to show me that bad times do pass

This scene with butter alongside the meaning of life in gumball are two moment that sticks with me

Can we appreciate how much effort Blooms put into his video's?

i love this episode so much for butters’ words of wisdom. really great episode, one of my favorites for sure.

This episode is one of my personal favorites

I've been waiting for a good analysis of this gem, well done good flower sir :)

Just want to say thank you for analysing this episode. It sounds dumb but it’s opened my eyes to a lot of things I’m going through right now - just coming out of a relationship. This video really helped pick me up a little and I really appreciate that.

Ahhh this video made me feel so much better it's good knowing that my favorite show can help me learn more about coping with my heartbreak ❤️

Seeing my break up as a beautiful sadness situation helped me a lot.

AHHH this video is so good keep going blooms I love your vids and always binge them!

No Butters, you don't sound stupid. You sound like my favorite character in south park, from this moment to butter's bottom B; he truly is amazing.

I did not grow up watching South park, and today I'm playing the fractured but whole game. I just found that graig and twitch had a thing together. It was completely unknown to me, until a few hours ago.

going through a rough breakup rightnow and this hit my recommended. Thank you for the video man. This really helped and the part you said at the end wasnt stupid It's rough because i loved her but man imma get swole.

i just binged all of your southpark stuff and a new ones out? the stars aligned

Got me heart broken a little over a month ago. This episode got me through it.

Crazy that this is the best Stephen has been at parenting.

This episode and video also helped me so much with my first heartbreak I thought I'd never get over it

I love this butters moment and I kinda go off this in life too bc it really is a great saying. I look at my lows, look at my highs, compare, and find it’s true

unironically, i saved the clip of butter’s beautiful sadness speech to my phone a few years ago when i was going through a breakup. it was really one of the best things to keep me going at the time… truly so thankful for its existence hahaha

I love how there's heartbroken butters but also pimpin' butters 😂

Trey and Matt are the best artist of this time, im completely serious when I say that

This video is so awesome! And this episode is very thought-provoking!

*hears despair* Monokuma & Junko Enoshima: Did someone say despair? ;) All jokes aside, this was a beautifully well crafted video. I went through a breakup after my ex was abusive towards me. I’m still processing it. This video is helping me realize that it’s better to go through an experience than not to feel love at all.

butters basically did the i learned somethin today speech

new subscriber here. absolutely love your videos. you have a very calm and relaxing voice, plus the background music is also nice and relaxing too. I like your insight on the episodes too.

I love raven aka stans goth name & this is one of my favorite episodes of south park i always love going pack to this episode to remind myself that its ok to be sad because its a beautiful sadness

Bro Raisins was my favorite episode for YEARS. I thought it felt surprisingly real

This video showed up when I really needed it.

I'm used to heartbreak and now I can't even find any options for a potential significant other who'll just break up with me in a year anyway during our online relationship.

Raisins is my favorite episode it's also my comfort episode when I'm depressed. I'll watch it up to when kyle talks to stan in Benny's then I stop if I just want to be depressed and when I'm ready I watch the speech and everything is ok again

completely unrelated but right when Bloomser said that Stan was standing there paralyzed, i managed to get a paralysis off on a mawile at the perfect moment like, it couldn't of been better timing ok im leaving now

To any one who has not seen it: there is a similar beautiful message in the second Sailor Moon Movie, "Sailor Moon S: Hearts in Ice". (Technically, that is the first English translation title given to it by DiC. But it is in the original Japanese by Toei and you should be able to find either the Sub or Dub with that title.)

Great video once again. I couldn’t help thinking during that stock footage of the dude smoking all depressed… so many cigs after breakups 😂 Hopefully those days are gone.

The butters speech literally made me cry when I first watched this episode.

Experts have compared it to the grief or the loss of a loved one. Death in the family.

im aware that im terribly late to this video, but i wanted to mention that this is one of the reasons butters is my favorite character. despite everything thats happened to him, on a few occasions he really seems to be good at dealing with emotions, even if they arent his own. hes so sweet to literally everyone.

We love you Blooms.

my dog died a couple of days ago im too emotionally stunted to even understand how im feeling but somehow a crude and rude cartoon helped me understand

Love Your SP Videos. Started Watching After the SP Iceberg Video.

This episode makes me believe Butters genuinely cares about Stan.

I’ve finally found a south park descriptive channel thank you Blooms

I love South Park for a lot of reasons, but this episode is probably at the top of the list. It got me through some hard times.

Life gets better when blooms post ❤

Needed this.

Never been this early for a blooms video 😭 Christmas came early

The most beautiful part of the human experience is death in all it’s glory. The last page of the last chapter of the last book in the series. The finale. You can go out silently or with a bang, alone or well known, hated or loved, needed or not. But we all finish our story with it. It is quite poetic indeed. Nothing more beautiful.

This brought me through a lot of tough times.

Episodes like this are exactly what make Butters easily one of my favorite characters in South Park

I had to do a psychology project on quotes that inspired me and one of the quotes is the speech butters gave at the end
