The Duchess of Sussex apparently doesn’t think “South Park” is funny.
Comedy Central aired an episode titled “The Worldwide Privacy Tour” mocking Meghan Markle, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, and their decision to move to the US to seek a private life — and Markle allegedly isn’t too happy about it.
The duchess is reportedly “upset and overwhelmed” by the episode and “annoyed by ‘South Park’ but refuses to watch it all,” a source told the Spectator.
A royal commentator even suggested that the episode could even bring on a lawsuit.
“Their legal team are casting an eye over the episode to see what is wrong, and what could be turned into something more sinister. This appears to be their course of action rather than laughing it off, enjoying the moment and showing the world that they get the joke,” royal reporter Neil Sean told Fox News, adding that the creators of “South Park” have not heard anything yet.
Markle’s reps have not responded to The Post’s requests for comment about the ongoing controversy — but an insider close to the former actress denounced the new claims as rubbish.

This article says it's not true that they might sue:
A spokesperson for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is shooting down reports that the couple is suing over a recent South Park episode.
On whether Harry and Meghan are pursuing legal action against the show, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tells PEOPLE: "It's all frankly nonsense. Totally baseless, boring reports."
South Park's episode that aired on Wednesday, titled "Worldwide Privacy Tour," centered on a "prince of Canada" and his wife that settle in the fictional Colorado town. The characters' similarities to Harry and Meghan were hard to miss, from the prince's ginger hair and beard to the wife's pink outfit and hat, a close match to Meghan's ensemble at Trooping the Colour in 2018. The show saw the cartoon couple carrying "we want our privacy" and "stop looking at us" signs as they traveled to different locations around the world.

I've watched B&B before and thought it was funny. In terms of the new season, I've only watched the first episode. They should just get rid of the parts where they're watching dumb shows on the couch. If they're going to include that part, there could still watch videos (either classic ones or new ones, since music videos are still being made). But those parts aren't as funny as the rest of the show.

OK cool.
When they were first on, which I avoided because I had no idea how funny it was, it was Mtv which was still showing music videos.
Now that they switched to a reality TV format, B&B is going with the times and watching other things.
They are still music video commentators I think at least once per show.
If this gives us another show to talk about, why not?
I forgot what the first segment was about.
Was that where they were in the box so Beavis could get back his drill?
I remember the second was where he has a conversation with fire which was weird and I am surprised he is still into it.
Because IRL he influenced a child to start one which burned down his house and killed his sister, I believe.
I would think they would have stopped his obsession with fire to prevent future real ones.

I know they changed because MTV changed, but there are still music videos out there. Maybe they don't want to modernize the show and have them using a Smart TV (for example) so they can watch videos on YouTube, etc. They could watch the "MTV Classic" channel, which plays old videos. Maybe they still watch videos in other episodes, but I think the first one was just some MTV reality shows or something.
I watched the one where they went to an escape room, and the fire thing was the second segment. I didn't like the fire one either. I don't think I had heard that about someone copying Beavis and starting a fire.
