tolkien black
Token.
You will not rewrite history.
Why would his name be Token? That's not a name.
His name is Token!
J. R. R. Tolkien "was an English writer and philologist. He was the author of the high fantasy works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings."
Sites have tried to rewrite history but Token was Token until "The Big Fix"
That was Cartman either misspelling "Tolkien" because he's a dumbass, or because he was trolling. His name has always been Tolkien Black. You're not racist anons, aren't you?
That is indeed who Tolkien is named after, yes. Matt and Trey just never anticipated anyone mishearing it as “Token”. That’s not even a name.
>*Tolkien.
ftfy
Fuck off with your Mandella whatever effect, it has always been Tolkien.
I remember the /misc/ thread where people were actually saying stuff like this and being 100% serious, and I never felt more second hand embarrasment before
>muh /misc/
Yeah blame it on those fags why don’t ya
HAHAHHAHA AHAHAHAHA okay that made me laugh.
His tv studio in season 15 is named "token black productions"
That's just the name of his production company.
Nice edit
Checkmate, racist chuds exposed
Nice edit
>his parents pressured him to name his production company after his namesake’s cat
You're thinking of Lovecraft not Tolkien
Like how Eddie Murphy just called his old studio Eddie Murphy Productions.
Glad Token has an aspiring goby in film.
moronS
institutionalized racism force him to do that.
Do you think Trey and Matt thought this episode was funny, or that they were strong-armed into doing it, or something else?
It probably genuinely offends their current sensibilities, and this was the funniest way they could think of to “correct” the name.
>they can't even stomach a joke about the one black kid in the regular cast being named Token Black
That explains a lot about the current state of the show.
They just added another joke to the joke after 20 years, you whiny outrage baby.
Oh yes, very good, 22 minutes of the same joke that wasn't even funny in the first minute, and nothing else.
I've been rewatching earlier South Park episodes lately and I can't even count how many times I've thought, "modern South Park would never do something that clever" and the like.
Dead fucking show, every new episode is an embarrassment to itself.
Nah the joke was funny, and the truth is you're the only one who is incapable of stomaching the change because you see everything through a mindbroken culture war lens instead of laughing at the absurdity of the episode.
That's even weirder than just not acknowledging it at all though. It's like finding a video clip of you telling a dead baby joke 10 years ago, deciding it's in poor taste, and then rather than just never telling the joke again you decide to release a new clip explaining how people misinterpreted your dead baby joke and how it's actually supposed to be taken as a satire about political destabilization in the middle east or something.
It’s more like having a recurring character who’s a dead baby joke and having an episode explaining that he was alive the whole time rather than removing him from the show entirely.
It is genuinely very funny
token
season 9 episode 3 "wing" @ 4:58
Tokin' cause they be tokin' all that good weed when they came up with his character lmao
Token Williams
I'm curious, is the joke that people pretend to be outraged over the change and others pretend that his name was always Tolkien. Token is not even the pejorative term, so I don't understand the accusations of racism.
Is everybody itt just larping?
People who claim his name was always Tolkien are just playing into the joke. Token's name was never really that offensive, everyone got the joke by now. The doctor's reaction to Stan thinking it was Token is supposed to be exaggerated for comedic purposes, hence why they played up how overly friendly he was before to create a more extreme sudden shift in personality. Basically, funny wacky stuff to mess with Stan. No other character even gave him shit for it, only Token when Stan wouldn't shut up about lord of the rings.
The people getting angry about it is probably a mix of people pretending alongside legitimately offended people.
its basically the 'Homers imaginary friend' larp all over again but just as gay.
They are just gas lighting you.
Wasn't it token. Token black. Because he's the only black male kid in South park
Token Black, the joke being that he was the token black kid in the classroom back in the 90’s. They changed it to Tolkien as a joke to gaslight the audience.
The plot was boring
Stevie
I like how they retconned his name, even changed the subs in every episode.
But didn't change the instances where his name is actually spell IN the episode in a sign and things like that kek.
fucking fags
The Black One
Token WIlliams
Why are they trying so hard to make him a thing? Are they really that scared of letting go of Tegridy Farms and letting The Boys be a group again?
They let go of Tegridy at the end of the last special
>implying Randy won't go back
They "let go of it" during season 23 too only to go back to it a few episodes later.
That's "Buck Broken" Token of course
Bob
Token. But Tolkien is funnier because it makes everyone mad.
Toki No!
Token Black
South Park needs to end.
How many more fucking seasons?
It'll go on until Matt and Trey are dead or can't do it anymore
Terry
You Have 0 Friends episode.
