Title: South Park Post by: K9 on October 09, 2008, 02:43:04 AM meh.... :heartbreak:
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Triforcer on October 09, 2008, 02:52:52 AM I concur. Not bad, not great. And Crystal Skull did suck.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Nebu on October 09, 2008, 09:11:49 AM I loved the episode. Started out slow, but the old movie references in the flashback scenes made it for me.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on October 09, 2008, 09:32:36 AM I loved the episode. Started out slow, but the old movie references in the flashback scenes made it for me. Yeah, I don't recognize enough movie rape scenes to have recognized any of those other than Deliverance. I figured that's what they were doing, though, so what were the other flicks? Title: Re: South Park Post by: CmdrSlack on October 09, 2008, 09:45:02 AM It was primarily the stuff in the scenes, not necessarily the raping itself. In the DA's flashback, you had the Howard The Duck pinball machine, the Willow video game, etc.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Slyfeind on October 09, 2008, 09:49:50 AM I liked it, because they were either making fun of Crystal Skull, or making fun of people's over-reactions. I figure at this point Matt and Trey just hate everybody so they're making fun of both.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Nebu on October 09, 2008, 09:54:04 AM Yeah, I don't recognize enough movie rape scenes to have recognized any of those other than Deliverance. I figured that's what they were doing, though, so what were the other flicks? One was that Jodi Foster movie where they raped her on the pinball machine. The Accused I think. Deliverance was the other. I'm forgetting the third. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 09, 2008, 01:16:38 PM I thought it was great, I liked the whole Indiana Jones plot more then the Cartman/Butters one.
Which I hate to say cuz Butters is probably the best character on the show. Although Butters shooting everyone in the dick was pretty funny. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Sky on October 09, 2008, 01:53:29 PM I haven't seen a new South Park in ages. But speaking of Butters, they had the one where his mother tried to drown him on last night. Where they line up OJ and those other conviction-dodging assholes and yell MURDERER, YOU DID IT YOU MURDERING MURDERER. I love that episode.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: shiznitz on October 10, 2008, 07:29:54 AM If any episode of South Park could get me watching regularly again, it was this one. And I haven't even seen Crystal Skull yet.
Fantastic. My wife was mouth agape on the couch next to me. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 10, 2008, 12:43:36 PM Heh, it looks like Paramount, Spielberg, and Lucas didn't know about the last episode of South Park and that there might be some repercussions down the line. Similar to those and the whole Scientology/Tom Cruise deal.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on October 10, 2008, 04:02:06 PM If any episode of South Park could get me watching regularly again, it was this one. And I haven't even seen Crystal Skull yet. Fantastic. My wife was mouth agape on the couch next to me. What? How? This episode of South Park was dire. The plot was tediously linear, with no twists or diversions. The whole thing with Cartman and Butters was a complete waste of time, and wasn't even remotely close to the level of humour of earlier seasons. There was nothing new or interesting introduced, and the whole "George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are creepy" joke has been done before. This episode continued the downhill trend that became painfully noticable in the first half of season 12, and doesn't give me any great feelings about what's to come. I'm genuinely baffled as to how anyone could find this episode as an example of South Park in its element. Sure it's not as bad as the Britney episode (the only episode of South Park I've ever stopped watching out of sheer boredom and disinterest) but this stuff was wholly mediocre at best. Title: Re: South Park Post by: KallDrexx on October 10, 2008, 04:23:21 PM I watched the first 5 minutes, couldn't figure out wtf was going on about the whole rape thing so I changed the channel. Seriously, if you are going to make a random reference that is probably explained later, don't spend so much time on it without putting at least some general jokes in there.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Samwise on October 13, 2008, 04:07:26 PM South Park has largely been made of fail for quite some time now. Go back and rewatch an episode from the first season sometime. It's a completely different show. Still makes me laugh sometimes, but in continually trying to top itself it's lost the quirky charm it once had.

Seriously, if you are going to make a random reference that is probably explained later, don't spend so much time on it without putting at least some general jokes in there. Random? Yes Random. The way the episode was (for what I watched) was Cartman dreaming about the olympics, him running towards the group talking about the Chinese going to invade, Kyle suddenly going "I can't do this" and goes off to his room talking about some rape that they witnessed ,then with Kyle nad Stan continuing to talk about said rape without actually saying anything that says wtf they are talking about. That combined with the fact that they weren't being funny about anything yet I said screw it and watched something else.

Season 8 was about the time the rot really started to set in, although there were still a bunch of great episodes in there since. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on October 14, 2008, 12:37:14 PM They try to kill, maim, explode, or dismember at least one character in every show. That alone made it stupid. A lot of it was also just over the top gross for no reason. Sure, shock can be funny, but there is a fine line between shock humor and disgusting.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Triforcer on October 15, 2008, 05:21:53 AM Just an FYI, http://www.southparkstudios.com/ has every single episode, and is free and legal. 3 30 sec ads during every episode, but for those of us nervous about downloading and/or skeezy sites, its really nice.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 31, 2008, 01:44:38 PM I'm sooo startled!
Title: Re: South Park Post by: shiznitz on November 05, 2008, 03:25:56 PM South Park has changed but it hasn't gotten worse or better. Just different. No other show on television will slaughter sacred cows like South Park. I don't remember when that became the raison d'etre. Even though they do it with a sledgehammer and dynamite, it is still refresshing to see. It went from stuff that stoners would think of to pre-meditated pure shock value to making fun of everything in the world that takes itself seriously.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on November 05, 2008, 03:44:08 PM Since when does 4 episodes = a season?
Although after the rather weak first epsiode, the other three were actually quite enjoyable. Cartman trying to get Wendy to call off the fight had me laughing. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on November 05, 2008, 03:47:25 PM ? There's a new episode on tonight or my TV Guide is lying to me.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on November 05, 2008, 03:53:25 PM Apparently www.southparkzone.com is lying to me; imdb lists 3 more episodes.
Betting that at least one features some commentary related to the election? Possibly involving Token and .... Butters?

I don't know who it revolves around. The summary on the guide is: "South Park residents join the rest of the country in celebrating the election of a U.S. president, who moves a new administration into the White House ahead of schedule." Title: Re: South Park Post by: Abagadro on November 05, 2008, 07:06:17 PM They must have made part of this thing this morning as it includes some of Obama's speech last night. The Ocean's 13 stuff is pretty beat though.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Abagadro on November 19, 2008, 09:23:10 PM Tonight's Goth/Vampire ep was CLASSIC South Park. Really back to old form.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Triforcer on November 20, 2008, 03:02:22 AM Wow. Horribly unfunny final episode of the season. That episode was like the Achewood of South Park.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Abagadro on November 20, 2008, 07:47:26 AM How can you manage to be so wrong so often?
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Triforcer on November 20, 2008, 05:53:22 PM Hey, don't get me wrong, I am normally the biggest South Park fanboi around, and usually defend it against those who say it has run out of ideas. But the pacing was off in this episode- it never really got off the ground. There have been some fantastic Butters-centered episodes (the very first one, where his father goes to various gay bathhouses, was the best evar, AWESOM-O was pure magic, and even the Paris Hilton one was good), but this one didn't have anything to say and didn't go anywhere. The whole family angle was very forced.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Rasix on November 21, 2008, 09:03:17 AM It had the goth kids in it. It was awesome. You are wrong.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: sidereal on November 21, 2008, 02:23:14 PM I liked it for being surprisingly sympathetic to the goth kids. I think there's a little gothery in Matt and Trey's history.
Also, I'm watching Trueblood at the same time and the overlap was entertaining. Per se.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: ashrik on November 24, 2008, 05:01:20 PM Maybe I'm out of the loop so I don't see it. But are there kids anywhere, outside of opening-night idiocy or perhaps getting their books signed, who dress up like Vampires?
This episode didn't resonate with me at all. I was waiting for the allegory, for the social critique- and hoping it'd be a little bit more concrete than Twilight fans are idiots. But I haven't been close to a highschool for some time now, maybe kids are dressing up and doing this kind of nonsense. If that's the case, then I simply didn't get it the episode. If not, then it was a pretty weak showing. Big ups for another Butters ep though. Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on November 24, 2008, 11:40:12 PM I liked this episode

Title: Re: South Park Post by: NiX on March 21, 2009, 09:57:24 PM It's back on. First episode making fun of the Jonas Brothers, Mickey Mouse and Disneys plot to get pre-teens horny. Hilarious.
Recent episode made fun of Dark Knight/The Watchmen. Cartman dresses up as The Coon... (http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/3853/snapshot20090320002410.jpg) He uses a raspy voice and dialogue somewhat like Rorschach. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: South Park Post by: Triforcer on March 22, 2009, 01:40:20 AM Wow. After two episodes, this season has more episodes that I liked than all of season 12. Matt and Trey must have spent last season on a bad LSD trip or something (except that the only good episode in 12 was about tripping...)
Title: Re: South Park Post by: sidereal on March 22, 2009, 02:39:37 PM He uses a raspy voice and dialogue somewhat like Rorschach. :awesome_for_real: Sort of. But I think it was mostly focused on Batman, who also overrasps his voice. It had the whole 'Who Is The Coon?" theme and the interactions with the cops. Title: Re: South Park Post by: fuser on March 24, 2009, 08:34:22 PM Ok this episode had me in tears once the news scene started up, a callback to three years ago!

Title: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Triforcer on October 29, 2009, 02:50:32 AM http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/251888
Best episode of the season. And its kinda mostly true- when I made an offhand joke about Japanese whale hunting to my (normally very calm) Japanese girlfriend, we got in our biggest fight in a year :oh_i_see: They REALLY don't like whales. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Big Gulp on October 29, 2009, 05:15:25 AM http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/251888 Best episode of the season. And its kinda mostly true- when I made an offhand joke about Japanese whale hunting to my (normally very calm) Japanese girlfriend, we got in our biggest fight in a year :oh_i_see: They REALLY don't like whales. It isn't a Japanese thing, it's an Asian thing. A quick trip to a Korean zoo would forever alter your perceptions of how Asians see themselves in relation to animals. ETA: Not that it's such a bad thing. At least they're up front about thinking that critters are here for our amusement and use. Westerners like to pretend that we've evolved past that kind of shit. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: K9 on October 29, 2009, 05:33:34 AM The problem with Whale is that is just so damn tasty.
Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Oban on October 29, 2009, 05:35:14 AM Err, how is the zoo in Seoul different from the Atlanta Zoo, the National Zoo, the San Diego zoo or the Toronto Zoo?
Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Big Gulp on October 29, 2009, 07:21:29 AM Err, how is the zoo in Seoul different from the Atlanta Zoo, the National Zoo, the San Diego zoo or the Toronto Zoo? The zoos themselves are comparable to any western zoo, but the behavior of the visitors? Way different. I can't tell you how much stuff I saw thrown at animals that weren't sufficiently energetic for the throwee. In Canada, the US, or pretty much anywhere in western Europe this would result in the tosser being given a dressing down by everyone around him. Not so at Seoul zoo. I saw not only apathy about this, but even a vague enthusiasm for the practice on some occasions. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Oban on October 29, 2009, 08:38:39 AM You clearly have never been to a zoo during a week day when a school group is going through.
Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Teleku on October 29, 2009, 08:57:22 AM When I was studying in Japan, we had a politics class where we had to debate an issue every Friday, with one part of the class arguing in favor, and the other against. The class was 90% exchange students, and 10% scared Japanese students who couldn't understand half of what we were saying. I always had a fun time leading the debate in favor of what ever controversial issue we brought up (yes, Japan NEEDS nuclear weapons!).
Whale day was a good day :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Evildrider on October 29, 2009, 10:39:32 AM Fuck you Whale! Fuck you Dolphin!
Also, Cartman's version of that Lady Gaga song was like 10 times better than the original. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: NowhereMan on October 29, 2009, 12:27:49 PM Hah, Japan. The country where when they finally managed to get the rights to start whaling again, knowing it was pissing off every other nation in the world save the Norwegians, they discovered that there was basically no demand for whale meat. Rather than taking that as a cue that they didn't really need to go piss everyone else off, they started subsidising whale meat and launched a massive marketing campaign to get more people to eat it.
What the fuck Japan? Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Oban on October 29, 2009, 01:33:21 PM Didn't they force school lunch rooms to serve whale meat?
Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Teleku on October 29, 2009, 01:43:00 PM Well, back in the post war years, meat in general was hard to come by in Japan, but Whale meat was plentiful. So the government subsidized all school lunch's with Whale meet. So many of the older generation grew up eating it that way, though the government stopped the practice once the economy started to recover again. I believe that's the only time the government "forced" it. Some schools in fishing towns will serve whale meat as part of "tradition", but that's not a mandate.

Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: UnSub on October 29, 2009, 09:21:04 PM Rather than tar every single Asian person out there with the same brush, I can say that Japanese from highly metropolitan cultures view animals as toys. Other Asian cultures, particularly from areas where they might rely on them for food / survival? Can't say.
Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Triforcer on October 30, 2009, 04:13:19 AM What do you base that on? I've lived in Tokyo for a year, and haven't really noticed that the Japanese attitude towards animals is any different than ours. If you mean they don't bother to say how much they love animals while chomping on a burger, while enlightened Americans say how much they love animals while chomping on a burger, then I'd say that's correct- Japanese aren't much for pretending for the sake of PC-ness.
As I understand it, the type of whale they hunt isn't actually endangered. That being the case, them eating it is no different then us eating cow or chicken or pig. (to be clear, the Japanese contribute greatly to overfishing and I'm against that, but whales don't fall in that category.) The only difference, to us Westerners, is we are horrified only by the slaughter of animals we find cute. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Ironwood on October 30, 2009, 05:11:34 AM Um. I didn't think that was the argument against whale fishing.
I thought it was the whole Intelligent Mammal thing. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Tige on October 30, 2009, 05:59:04 AM As I understand it, the type of whale they hunt isn't actually endangered. The problem is they will take what ever they come across, not just the particular species allowed. The animal is hunted, slaughtered and packaged by the time they return to port. Factory ships have the ability to hide what is taken, not to mention the massive damage done in the collateral catch in different types of fishing like tuna and cod. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Murgos on October 30, 2009, 06:33:34 AM They use nets for hunting whales? Also, I don't think you can catch cod and tuna in the same net, ground hugging inshore fish vs. high speed, deep water/open ocean fish.
Not that collateral damage from dredge netting isn't a huge issue but your sentence seems to need clarification. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Tige on October 30, 2009, 06:53:35 AM They use nets for hunting whales? Also, I don't think you can catch cod and tuna in the same net, ground hugging inshore fish vs. high speed, deep water/open ocean fish. Not that collateral damage from dredge netting isn't a huge issue but your sentence seems to need clarification. Trying to do too many things with too little coffee this morning. That was as fucked up as a football bat. No, tuna and cod are not caught in the same net. Both use nets but different types, unfortunately they both swallow up vast amounts of collateral damage in the form of "trash fish" and in the case of bottom dragging nets they wipe out anything that happens to be in the swath as well. Cod fishing is not necessarily inshore, places like Georges Banks are pretty far offshore but the shoals attract cod and many different species, only a handful are of any commercial value but that doesn't stop them from being taken. Over the years there has been improvement in fish harvesting such as the TED (turtle exclusion device) used by shrimpers but unfortunately steps taken have not kept the over fishing at bay, let alone reverse the obliteration of some fishing grounds and reefs. heh, I was just getting warmed up for a rant about ocean health when I realized; 1) I'm posting on the internet and 2) In a thread about South Park. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Merusk on October 30, 2009, 03:04:29 PM Um. I didn't think that was the argument against whale fishing. I thought it was the whole Intelligent Mammal thing. Fuck them. We have to kill them before they evolve and kill us with their super mind powers, because you know they're going to be telepathic long before we as a species are. It's about SURVIVAL, man! Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Xuri on October 30, 2009, 03:51:50 PM Kill them before they evolve? Meh. I'm from Norway. We kill whales for FUN!
EDIT: And for research purposes, of course. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Margalis on November 03, 2009, 12:27:54 AM On topic I thought this episode sucked. IMO South Park is at its worse when it beats up celebs, pop culture and other soft targets, something that has become increasingly common as the years march on. I have no idea what "Whale Wars" is so half the episode was lost on me. And beating up on a reality tv show? Why bother.
The stuff with the Japanese was pretty good though. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Nerf on November 03, 2009, 12:37:04 AM You should watch every episode of whale wars, its pretty funny how horrible the hippies are at what they do, which is what made this episode so goddamn funny.
HA WHALERS, YOU STINK NOW, YOU CAN'T WORK! Uh, they spend their day covered in whale guts, I don't think it bothers them. Gold. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Samprimary on November 03, 2009, 01:40:07 AM I have no idea what "Whale Wars" is so half the episode was lost on me. You fool! Whale Wars is the most unintentionally hilarious show of the decade. Here's some things people have said about watching WHALE WARS Quote WIGGITY WIGGITY WHALE WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHS "ATTENTION YOU ARE ENGAGING IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, OVER. WHALE WARS" "TO SEA, MY WHALE WARRIORS! TO SEA!" brrrrrrrrrrrrr br br br "SAIL ON MIGHTY WARR-OH FUCK THEY FORGOT THE DAMN SATELLITE PHONE. RETURN TO ME, MY WHALE WARRIO-COME BACK! FUCK! God damn it, get Gary in the helicopter. Gary, tell them to come back." "I'm waving at them, I don't...YOU GUYS! CHRIST! THIS WAY! YOU'RE LITERALLY SAILING AWAY FROM THE BAD GUYS!" *2 hours later* "ROUND TWO. SAIL, MY WHALE WARRIORS!" brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr brbrbrbrbrbrbrbr "HAHA! WE HAVE BOARDED THE EVIL JAPANESE FISHING BOAT! PREPARE TO FACE JUSTICE FROM THE VIGILANTE HANDS OF - oh god HELP HELP THEY'RE ALL AROUND US" "立ち去りなさい" "THEY'RE TALKING AT US LIKE NINJAS! WHY DIDN'T WE BRING A SINGLE FUCKING PERSON WHO SPEAKS JAPANESE?! WHALEWARS!?" "何か。" "WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BREAK ONTO YOUR BOAT. YOU'RE THE CRIMINALS HERE. I WILL ONLY RECOGNIZE A COURT OF WHALE LAW" "日本語を話しなさい" "HE HAS A GUN" "これは魚である" "THEY'RE TAKING US TO THE DEATH CHAMBER TO CHALLENGE THEIR IMMORTAL GOD-EMPEROR, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, WHALEWARS, OVER." "Jesus Fucking Christ, Whale Warriors." WHALEWARS Quote they were all like "this storm is rough, let's cozy up right next to this huge chunk of ice to shield us, ain't nothin wrong with this plan!" (NIGHT TIME OCCURS) "yawnnn. oh what's up brand new OH MY GOD WE'RE SURROUNDED BY ICE" whale wars Quote they literally fail every single time they attempt to do anything, these guys are terrible Quote Oh, and you know how the Japanese whaling vessels have those LRAD sonic cannon things to fuck with the Sea Shepherds when they get too close to their ships? Last night, the Sea Shepherds had a bunch of their crew stand on their own deck holding satellite dishes to pretend to have their own LRAD sonic dealies. It was amazing. They just kept saying WELL IF THEY DON'T LOOK TOO HARD, IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE LRADS, TOO. [insert picture of a bunch of hippies holding disconnected satellite dishes on the deck of a ship] This is the best TV show. Quote The Sea Shepherds were actually firing flares at the Japanese whaling vessels last night. They almost took out their own helicopter in doing so. I LOVE THIS SHOW. Quote Folks, if you missed Friday's amazing new episode of Whale Wars, keep in mind Lanky McPubestache the first mate says "No more whales will be killed today." As a magical response sent to me from God Himself, I watched in sadistic glee as over the course of an hour, the Nisshan Maru proceeded to harpoon, shoot, and gut up FIVE WHALES. The entire episode was the Sea Shepherd's looks slack-jawed and dumbfounded at how the whalers did not give a flying shit, throwing large chunks of whale organs into the ocean. So many episodes of cockteasing and it's rewarded us with a monumental failure. Whaling continues today. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Evildrider on November 03, 2009, 03:07:43 AM IMO South Park is at its worse when it beats up celebs, pop culture and other soft targets, something that has become increasingly common as the years march on. I completely disagree, these have been some of the funniest episodes of the series. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: NowhereMan on November 03, 2009, 05:28:41 AM These asshole hippies were at the Dive Show in Birmingham. I was trying to figure out who the weird dudes in pirate shirts all were, assumed it was some sort of 'cool' travel company. This aired about a week later and I wish I'd had the opportunity to mock them.

This season really has a "Matt and Trey look out the window and write an entire episode about something they see and hate" vibe to it. Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: 01101010 on November 05, 2009, 05:02:18 AM Kill them before they evolve? Meh. I'm from Norway. We kill whales for FUN! EDIT: And for research purposes, of course. I can fully support this notion IF the people whaling are limited to old school whaling, canoes and hand-thrown harpoons. :why_so_serious: Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: NowhereMan on November 05, 2009, 07:47:58 AM Fuck that, they can kill as many whales as they like so long as they do it with their bare hands. We can be generous though, they can use a boat to get out to the whales.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on November 05, 2009, 10:34:32 AM Are there any fags on this board? :grin:
Title: Re: South Park Post by: NowhereMan on November 05, 2009, 01:23:50 PM No but I am bike-curious.
This episode also reminded me of a total crazy on a US conservative message boards who always makes a point of saying that homosexuals aren't gay and that they've somehow corrupted a poor innocent happy word so insists that they should all be called fags. I really hope he saw this and his head exploded. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Margalis on November 06, 2009, 09:18:27 PM The biker fags episode made the whale wars episode look stellar by comparison. This has been a very weak season so far.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: sidereal on November 06, 2009, 09:31:29 PM It was dumb.
Also, it was weirdly monotonic. Most South Park episodes have at least a couple of miniplots threaded through them. This was just 'Let's call bikers fags instead of gay people' and. . yeah. Nice work. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on November 06, 2009, 10:39:55 PM What do you expect? They are out of ideas and latch on to any pop culture issue. It's pretty much what the Simpson's have tried to do for the last 7 years.
Title: Re: Whale Whores (South Park) Post by: Arnold on November 07, 2009, 12:11:07 PM Um. I didn't think that was the argument against whale fishing. I thought it was the whole Intelligent Mammal thing. What if Orca whales are herding the prey whales to the whalers, alerting the whalers if they happen to be asleep in their beds, and assisting in the kill? I saw this great documentary on PBS about that. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Sir T on November 07, 2009, 06:13:23 PM Captain Planet is on his way to bust you up for that anti-nature propoganda!
Title: Re: South Park Post by: NowhereMan on November 07, 2009, 06:47:08 PM Orcas are clearly the Vichy France of marine mammals.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Triforcer on November 12, 2009, 12:28:23 AM The opening scene of "Dances with Smurfs" is about the funniest scene to come out of South Park in 3 or 4 seasons. You'll first go :grin:, then :why_so_serious:, followed by :ye_gods: and a guilty :oh_i_see:
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on November 26, 2009, 02:51:05 PM Pee was really good I thought; the jokes were simpler and more surreal. The episodes which hinge on a pop-culture reference are not bad per se, but they definitely diminish if you don't know the reference. This meant Whale Wars was pretty blah for me, and I spoke to a friend who had never heard of Glen Beck and he found the Dances with Smurfs episode pretty much the same.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Ratman_tf on November 26, 2009, 09:49:25 PM I like South Park best when it's pee jokes. Making fun of celebrities and politicians and their pet annoyance of the week is rarely as entertaining.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Samwise on November 27, 2009, 06:27:58 PM South Park peaked in its first season IMO.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Lakov_Sanite on November 28, 2009, 03:26:04 PM South Park peaked in its first season IMO. When you realize how old south park is, you may find this statement depressing. Title: Re: South Park Post by: schild on November 28, 2009, 03:57:22 PM South Park peaked in its first season IMO. You haven't watched a full season since the first, IMO.I'm no great defender of southpark, but I feel like it didn't hit its stride until at best, season 3. Now, none of the seasons may have been as consistent as the first, but this would be due to production more than anything else. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Samwise on November 28, 2009, 08:26:54 PM South Park peaked in its first season IMO. When you realize how old south park is, you may find this statement depressing. Oh, I realize it. There's a reason I don't jump all over the new episodes as soon as they're released. They're still kind of funny sometimes, but I don't think I've gotten a good belly laugh out of South Park in years. I watched South Park religiously for the first few seasons at least. I think I started to lose interest around when Kenny stopped dying. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on November 29, 2009, 12:32:19 AM I'd still rather watch South Park then Simpsons, Cleveland Show, and Family Guy. I still like me some American Dad though.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: ahoythematey on November 30, 2009, 03:15:57 PM Interestingly enough, I used to enjoy the occasional episode Family Guy when I would catch it on TV, but South Park's deconstruction ruined that entirely. I can't watch the show at all without thinking about manatees in a water tank.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: MrHat on April 08, 2010, 05:53:41 AM The most recent episode was hilarious.
Making fun of the internet has always been a strong suit for them. Title: Re: South Park Post by: tazelbain on April 08, 2010, 07:48:08 AM Topically it was dead on, but in pure funny not so much.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Lakov_Sanite on April 08, 2010, 08:00:39 AM Topically it was dead on, but in pure funny not so much. Generational maybe? I was nearly bawling most of the episode. Seriously, fuck farmville. Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on April 08, 2010, 01:43:07 PM None of the recent episodes have had me cracked up anything special, but they have all been hugely enjoyable to watch and much better than a lot of the fare over the last 3 seasons or so.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on April 22, 2010, 02:50:45 PM 200 - Highly entertaining
201 - Progressively more :headscratch: Title: Re: South Park Post by: Abagadro on April 22, 2010, 02:52:28 PM That's because Comedy Central butchered it.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: NowhereMan on April 22, 2010, 03:28:50 PM Apparently so. The whole thing was an homage to basically all the big episodes and simultaneously established that South Park actually has some sort of continuity rather than constant status quo. The Batman homage was cool too, Scott Tenorman had one bad day.
Edit: So apparently all the beeps and censored spots were added by Cartoon Network including the censored signs and the final speech. Which makes not a huge amount of sense on their parts, especially since Matt and Trey seems to be suggesting that they weren't really consulted. I'm honestly not sure whether CN butchered the show or Matt and Trey are just fucking with the fans.

FIFY (CN -> CC) And yeah, according to their website (http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/3878) the entire ending speech had nothing to do with Muhammed and was still censored. The speech was supposedly about intimidation and fear. I'm also wondering if it is just them fucking around with the fans since I find it hard to type the words "I can't see Matt and Trey censoring themselves like this," when I could see them doing so if it was worthwhile. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Wasted on April 22, 2010, 05:12:33 PM All the beeping was fucking horrible to sit through at the end. Its one thing for Comedy Channel to wimp out to some stupid threat, but they could've at least found a less headache inducing way to censor it.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Ratman_tf on April 22, 2010, 05:43:13 PM All the beeping was fucking horrible to sit through at the end. Its one thing for Comedy Channel to wimp out to some stupid threat, but they could've at least found a less headache inducing way to censor it. They should have gotten the most whiny guy in the office to say "Cartoon Network is full of pussies" over and over again. Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on April 23, 2010, 07:14:17 AM That's because Comedy Central butchered it. Yeah, I was struggling to work out if it was supposed to be satirical, or the heavy hand of the network. Title: Re: South Park Post by: palmer_eldritch on April 23, 2010, 10:47:58 AM It's confusing because I think there were some parts that were deliberate, such as placing the "censored" block over the image of Muhammed, which was there in the first part of the story too. When it appeared over Tom Cruise, that was clearly a joke put in by the South Park creators.
Then there was all the beeping, which I guess was put in by the network. But it's really hard to imagine what those final speeches could have involved that meant every word had to be beeped out. Title: Re: South Park Post by: NowhereMan on April 23, 2010, 11:31:12 AM Well according to the creators it was a speech about not giving into fear and intimidation that didn't even mention Muhammad. Which is why I don't understand why the network would have censored the whole thing, leading me to conclude 1) It's a deliberate troll by Matt and Trey, 2) It's a network censor who decided what they were being asked to do was ridiculous and went full retard to make the whole thing a joke or 3) Despite their protestations Matt and Trey actually threw in an offensive spiel at the end.
3) seems the least likely to me. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on April 23, 2010, 12:06:37 PM Well Matt and Trey released this press release:
In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We'll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Mrbloodworth on April 23, 2010, 12:11:32 PM link?

Pulled in the UK, for fuck's sake. We've been laughing at terrorism for more than a hundred years - to back down in this manner is very little short of humiliating.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Engels on April 25, 2010, 08:53:33 AM Its probably a global CC issue rather than a national one.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on October 08, 2010, 03:48:40 PM New South Park made me laugh. There's something about Cartman acting retarded that gets me.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Threash on October 08, 2010, 05:31:06 PM The vagisil guy and his wife were hilarious.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Segoris on October 09, 2010, 06:30:53 AM Yeah, so far so good. Even the ads for the new season were :drill:
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on October 11, 2010, 11:49:25 AM The vagisil guy and his wife were hilarious. Safe to use every day. EVERY...DAY. Title: Re: South Park Post by: fuser on October 13, 2010, 10:24:24 PM Holy crap what a twist :awesome_for_real:
Oh yeah "snookie want smush smush" Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on October 14, 2010, 07:17:50 AM Holy crap what a twist :awesome_for_real: Oh yeah "snookie want smush smush" I honestly had no idea what Snookie was until I looked it up online. The episode was still really funny though about New Jersey. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Mattemeo on October 14, 2010, 10:04:53 AM Nascar/Vagisil episode was a complete damp squib, though that might be purely because Nascar has pretty much zero following in the UK so the joke is largely lost on us.
Not that I'm begrudging Stone and Parker, it's not as if the last 1 and a half seasons of South Park haven't been unfeasibly brilliant up till now - it's got to be tough keeping the bar that high. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on October 14, 2010, 10:45:50 AM Not understanding how most Americans view the American Southern state would certainly make you miss most of the jokes about NASCAR in that episode.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on October 14, 2010, 07:34:36 PM Despite being a filthy Euro, I have lived in the south, and I got pretty much everything in the Nascar episode and loved it. I can see the validity of the complaint though, Nascar is about as familiar to the lay UK populace as Cricket is to the lay American audience.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Lakov_Sanite on October 15, 2010, 08:52:05 AM I don't consider it a bad episode if a lot of people didn't 'get' it though, it's still funny. The jersey shore one though I got and just felt sort of 'meh' about. It had its moments but I just felt like there wasn't enough to it beyond "lets make fun of the jersey shore" the ending however did make me laugh hard.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Mattemeo on October 15, 2010, 10:11:53 AM I understand Nascar and the culture surrounding it enough to get the joke, I just didn't think it was particularly funny. South Park's already done other redneck sports better. The whole Vagisil thing was laboured, too. Watching Cartman eat the stuff was amusingly appalling, mind you.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Bunk on October 15, 2010, 11:13:39 AM The highlight of the last episode for me had to be the Jersey Shore guy still holding up his shirt while Randy was kicking the shit out of him.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on October 21, 2010, 10:50:34 AM Last night's episode has some funny moments, but I think people that actually saw Inception would find it a lot more funny. I haven't but I still got some laughs out of all the explanations and the sheep hoarding.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Xuri on October 24, 2010, 08:48:20 PM The funniest part of that episode was the guy doing the background music.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Wasted on November 05, 2010, 02:53:03 AM The last two episode where great. I especially loved the Totoro parody.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on November 05, 2010, 04:43:32 AM Yeah, I'm enjoying this current multi-part episode.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Lakov_Sanite on November 05, 2010, 08:19:15 AM Glad others are still watching this too. I though the whole idea of episode two was awesome, how many years has south park been out and they are trying to tie all the kenny stuff together? oh sure they obviously weren't thinking of some underlying reason all those years ago but it's actually kinda cool what they are doing with it.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Nebu on November 05, 2010, 09:30:31 AM I thought the best part of Part II was when they made fun of LeBron. The rest didn't do much for me.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: NowhereMan on November 05, 2010, 10:50:11 AM I enjoyed it but this was nothing like 90% of their episodes. I think I was more :uhrr: for a good bit of it.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Ratman_tf on November 05, 2010, 08:40:53 PM "Go ahead! Pull the trigger, pussy!"
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Mattemeo on November 07, 2010, 04:27:21 PM The dawning realisation of the Totoro spoof had me in stitches. Cartman as Mei is definitely my favourite moment since the series started up again. Really liking this multiparter overall.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on June 10, 2011, 03:37:14 PM I'm wondering after this last episode if the end of South Park is near. I think it could still push out a few more seasons, but with some of the dialogue between Stan's parents, it could be wrapping up soon.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Threash on June 10, 2011, 03:50:43 PM They just signed a new contract to keep going until 2013. That would put them near 20 years, long run for any tv show.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: FatuousTwat on June 10, 2011, 06:02:05 PM I'm wondering after this last episode if the end of South Park is near. I think it could still push out a few more seasons, but with some of the dialogue between Stan's parents, it could be wrapping up soon. I think they have just been overusing Randy and Sharon, and it's showing. If Randy is actually leaving, that should help somewhat. Too bad if so, Randy is my favourite character. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on June 10, 2011, 10:19:44 PM Randy has the best episodes, so they better ditch Sharon. They've already pretty much gotten rid of Stan's sister haven't they? I can't remember seeing her lately.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on June 11, 2011, 04:53:57 AM They like shaking things up and have said in the past that if a joke gets old or they get bored of it, it will disappear. For example, Kenny doesn't die anymore. Around when it stopped happening I recall hearing an interview where they said it was getting in the way of telling the actual story. That's why Stan & Kyle started saying their lines so deadpan. The sister got old long before she disappeared.
I imagine the focus on characters other than the kids for long stretches is another symptom of this mindset. I think deep down they really want to do other things, like their Broadway show, but know where there money comes from. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Threash on June 11, 2011, 07:43:39 AM Randy has the best episodes, so they better ditch Sharon. They've already pretty much gotten rid of Stan's sister haven't they? I can't remember seeing her lately. She was there looking sad while Sharon packed. Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on June 13, 2011, 02:42:45 PM This series ran out of steam a long time ago. I will still watch it, because they do throw up the odd great episode, but most are severely meh.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: waffel on June 13, 2011, 03:04:37 PM Last episode was by far the best of the season.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Threash on June 13, 2011, 03:11:51 PM They are far from out of steam, the mint berry crunch stuff recently was some of the funniest shit they've done.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: apocrypha on June 15, 2011, 04:15:54 AM I thought it was depressing as hell. I also thought this, but I am currently a deeply cynical asshole, so maybe it was meant to make me feel like that. Title: Re: South Park Post by: KallDrexx on June 15, 2011, 05:25:04 AM They are far from out of steam, the mint berry crunch stuff recently was some of the funniest shit they've done. I agree with them not being out of steam. Almost every season has a few truely terrible episodes, but they usually redeem themselves. They pump out episodes so fast though that there's bound to be some shitty ones every once and a while. Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on November 11, 2011, 09:11:57 AM The thanksgiving episode was top notch
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on November 11, 2011, 09:13:35 AM Agreed, it's about time someone went after the bs that History Channel puts out.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on October 13, 2013, 02:27:33 PM That last episode just wasn't funny or clever; it was veered between mindless and odd.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 13, 2013, 02:31:33 PM Yeah, the Minecraft episode was much better.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on October 13, 2013, 02:59:27 PM agreed, i liked that one
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Lakov_Sanite on October 13, 2013, 03:38:25 PM The character of cartman has jumped the shark. I know the whole intent was to push him as far as they could but now he's just so unrealistic that the story lines suffer for it.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 13, 2013, 03:50:44 PM He's been like that almost since inception. I mean he's killed people and made chili out of them.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Lakov_Sanite on October 13, 2013, 04:13:41 PM See that's where I would disagree. In the beginning he was clearly evil and amoral but now it's just a parody of itself where he waffles between evil and just retarded.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on October 13, 2013, 04:30:58 PM Yeah, this episode felt like what South Park trying to parody themselves would look like
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on October 17, 2013, 07:10:07 AM I was watching last night, and they replayed an older episode. I was checking my guide thinking I missed something because it said there was a new one.
Then I read this: http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/10/16/south-park-deadline/ Title: Re: South Park Post by: calapine on November 14, 2013, 11:38:39 PM Black Friday episode. Good. Watch it.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on November 15, 2013, 06:37:37 AM The whole season has been really good so far. So many layers of jokes on top of each other, but I agree Black Friday's weaving of GoT, Console Fanboisim and Black Friday Consumer Culture commentary was particularly epic.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Threash on November 16, 2013, 11:38:56 AM I bet we get a Terrance and Phillip episode instead of the second part next week.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Ard on November 20, 2013, 11:10:17 PM Okay, I honest to god thought that south park had hit a pretty bad slump this season, but tonight's episode was one of the best I've ever seen them do. I was actually in tears a couple times.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: calapine on November 21, 2013, 05:54:44 AM Okay, I honest to god thought that south park had hit a pretty bad slump this season, but tonight's episode was one of the best I've ever seen them do. I was actually in tears a couple times. I feel stupid for not seeing that ending coming. :oops: Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on November 22, 2013, 04:37:49 PM I was expecting the Red Wedding. Damnit.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: palmer_eldritch on November 22, 2013, 06:28:36 PM I liked the Donald Sutherland Invasion of the Body Snatchers reference at the end of that one.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Threash on November 23, 2013, 09:26:19 AM The usual GoT complaint is that there isn't enough male nudity compared to how much female nudity there is though, and none of it has anything to do with Martin in the first place.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Nevermore on November 24, 2013, 10:54:12 PM Yeah, but I have to admit that since I caught it when it was rerun late at night, having a trojan commercial immediately follow the Martin wiener choir was a nice touch. :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Tmon on December 05, 2013, 08:36:56 AM It felt like they used all their best ideas in the first episode of the three and by the time they got to final one they were just going through the motions.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Threash on December 05, 2013, 03:59:00 PM Yeah pretty much, the only reason we got 3 episodes instead of 2 was for the one Martin joke.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on September 24, 2014, 07:44:25 PM New episode was pretty funny. Riffed on both the Redskins name and the Kickstarter stuff, which made me laugh.

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 09, 2014, 09:46:59 AM Really liking this season so far, and it's also nice to see them having some continuity between episodes.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: calapine on October 12, 2014, 11:41:05 PM Awesome episode.
Feeling good on a Wednesday. PUSH! Ya Ya Ya. Tear down the wall. Help me on unload the car. Ya Ya Ya! Title: Re: South Park Post by: HaemishM on October 13, 2014, 09:39:36 AM I haven't watched South Park for years and I've caught all 3 episodes so far this season. It's been hysterical. Love the Lorde jokes. That sounded a lot like her when they added the autotuning. Does anyone know if she actually participated?
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 13, 2014, 10:26:27 AM Nah it wasn't actually her. Matt and Trey are pretty good at autotune I guess. lol
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 13, 2014, 06:49:51 PM I am Lorde, ya ya ya (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crIgEqryoiM)
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 29, 2014, 10:41:39 PM This season is one of the best in awhile. "Craig's Mom's bush! Craig's Mom's bush!"
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Bunk on October 30, 2014, 07:06:37 AM Nah it wasn't actually her. Matt and Trey are pretty good at autotune I guess. lol A singer named Sia apparently. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on October 30, 2014, 01:22:03 PM The bush episode had me rolling several times.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: calapine on October 30, 2014, 03:45:11 PM The bush episode had me rolling several times. All the people making invert innuendos towards her bush before correcting themselves. Such juvenile humour, but I couldn't help laughing. :grin: With them referencing It's interesting how "topical" southpark is towards current events lately. Also I am starting to get a suspicion that the "Cartman" character might be sort of a dick! Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on October 30, 2014, 03:58:10 PM South Park has been pretty topical almost it's entire run. Helps when you are making the episode the week of.
Also Cartman has been a dick since season 1. hehe. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Ruvaldt on October 30, 2014, 08:02:07 PM Also I am starting to get a suspicion that the "Cartman" character might be sort of a dick! You mean the episode in which he tricked a boy into eating his own parents didn't already give that away? Title: Re: South Park Post by: calapine on October 30, 2014, 08:13:47 PM Also I am starting to get a suspicion that the "Cartman" character might be sort of a dick! You mean the episode in which he tricked a boy into eating his own parents didn't already give that away? Or giving Kyle AIDS. Clearly he is a troubled child in need of understanding. :wink: Title: Re: South Park Post by: apocrypha on October 31, 2014, 01:37:57 AM Cartman's always been vile, but for a while now he's been used by Matt & Trey as the voice of crazy right-wing America. He's Fox News, Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachmann, Ted Cruz, the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, Mitt Romney all rolled into one.
So yeah, he's evil, through & through. Season is good so far, I'm impressed by just how many apposite references they manage to fit in each show. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on October 31, 2014, 05:51:24 AM ANYONE can get a drone & do whatever they want with it and there's no laws and the whole thing is pretty damn hairy.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on October 31, 2014, 08:07:21 AM ANYONE can get a drone & do whatever they want with it and there's no laws and the whole thing is pretty damn hairy. And? They're remote helicopters, they've been around for decades now. The only new thing is the affordability and popularity due to SD cards & gopros instead of 8mm film & a $1000+ price tag.

And I learned that 'mium' is Latin for "not really"!* *mium Title: Re: South Park Post by: eldaec on November 06, 2014, 03:58:00 AM Edit : nvm, sarchasm error.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on November 06, 2014, 05:56:08 AM That's one of the type of South Park shows where Matt and Trey are making a point, not really making as much making comedy. I mean they are doing comedy but it's not as funny as it was them sticking it to people that make money off addictive behavior.
The Canadian Devil had me laughing though. Beezleboot. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on November 06, 2014, 12:52:35 PM Drink responsibly! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF1E5ZO8Lug)

Title: Re: South Park Post by: calapine on November 06, 2014, 10:12:40 PM Edit : nvm, sarchasm error. You Americans just don't get irony! --- The hints towards previous episodes are neat too. And done with all the subtlety of a "OMG! They killed Kenny!" joke. The entire drinking advertisement and drinking habit part was spot on. Randy "I am not having a glass of wine. I am having six, it's called a wine tasting and it's classy!" Marsh reminded me of something my English teacher said: "A lady doesn't order a Halbe [pint] beer at a bar. She orders a Seiterl [2/3 pint] and then later another. And then another and another..." :grin: Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on November 19, 2014, 09:15:20 PM So, I bet Schild runs a Cock Magic ring. :awesome_for_real:

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on December 04, 2014, 01:51:00 PM I joke with my friends all the time about watching people play games instead of playing games. It's insane.
But entertainment is different for different people. My parents though playing video games was insane. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Rasix on December 04, 2014, 02:05:05 PM I tried watching some Markiplier, but it's really not for me. The overreacting, bad voices, and overall sense that I'm wasting my fucking time tend to grate on me. However, I've found Let's Plays are pretty useful for games you want to know more about but have no intention of ever playing. Pretty much like every single horror game out there. Which, of course, brings you back to these sorts. :|
I'm pretty sure my nephews are all into this shit. But, they did want games for Christmas, so they're not totally gone. I say this all with the caveat that I watch LoL streaming quite regularly, but I can't really play that at work or while I'm supposed to be paying attention to my son, can I? :why_so_serious: Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on December 04, 2014, 02:27:57 PM I get the idea of let's plays. There are games I want to see some of as a buying decision. I hate the personalities of the people doing them though.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Maven on December 05, 2014, 09:16:53 AM This entire season has been amazing. Freemium (especially the last second of the episode) was fantastic, and Cock Magic was hilarious.
Randy has many talents! Does that make him anti-Homer or uber-Homer? Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on December 05, 2014, 09:50:09 AM I'll watch Purge play DOTA, but that's just because Purge is Purge and I don't have the patience to play DOTA.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on December 05, 2014, 09:36:47 PM South Park seems to have caught on that the viewers like the topical mixed with a weird sort of continuity in character development throughout the season. It's enjoyable and odd.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Evildrider on December 05, 2014, 09:53:42 PM Allegedly.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Segoris on December 10, 2014, 10:52:22 PM So yeah, tonight's episode was awesome in a fucked up way.

They had too many concurrent threads going that they just had to wrap up as quickly as possible and handwave the rest.

It's tough to imagine any other show being able to jam-pack as many topics to make fun of into a 23min air time Title: Re: South Park Post by: stray on September 19, 2015, 04:05:05 PM Bump.

It seems like more of an Onion move than NBC. Quote Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin, a mascot for a Christian anti-masturbation organization, says the company is losing business because of Yelp reviewers. “Before being listed on Yelp we had no problem going around the country speaking to elementary school children about the dangers and consequences of masturbation. Now, with our poor reviews on Yelp, people are beginning to question our morals and ethics, like that is so important. Just because I have been arrested three times for public masturbation and each case was pardoned by the Governor, doesn’t mean our federal funding and government support had anything to do with it. With the assumptions made by Yelp reviewers, they are causing deadly self-rape addictions in this country to continue and in the end it is Big Masturbation that wins. Such a shame.” Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on October 21, 2015, 12:05:58 PM Fap has been internet slang for masturbation since Clay wrote The Thin-H Line 12 years ago. Fappy the dolphin as a mascot for an anti-masturbation group was a Tweet from Michael Moore back in 2013 http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2013/12/twitter-hoaxes-2013 That took me all of ONE Google search. A Christian group lead by a guy arrested for public masturbation is icing on the cake. Yeah, NBC is getting punked. ed: It's not even NBC, it's NBC.Co which is apparently a comedy site Title: Re: South Park Post by: palmer_eldritch on October 21, 2015, 12:29:58 PM That entire website is some sort of parody or possibly a marketing gimmick for people selling Fappy t shirts (by providing seo for their Facebook page)

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on November 19, 2015, 10:02:40 AM This is bar none the best South Park season I've ever seen. I can't wait to see the next episode. That's never happened before.
And Jimmy as the guy who puts PC Principal in his place? It's so fucking gold it hurts. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Phildo on November 19, 2015, 08:04:36 PM I've been watching them online and Is it just me, or were there a lot more ads than usual during this episode?
Title: Re: South Park Post by: HaemishM on November 20, 2015, 08:35:42 AM I've been doing the same thing but haven't noticed any more ads than normal for this season.
I haven't been watching the show for years so I can't judge the quality of this compared to previous seasons but I can't imagine they are on the whole as high a quality as this one has been. Just about every episode has been a gem. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Segoris on November 20, 2015, 09:54:00 AM This simply is the best season, possibly in South Park's history. While the last five seasons were really good and steadily improving (with the the last two seasons being really fucking good), they just were not at this level.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Ruvaldt on November 21, 2015, 03:00:31 PM If you haven't seen the past few seasons you really should watch them. By the time the last season ended I thought it was South Park's best. Now this one has supplanted it. I know that Bill Hader has had an increased role in writing for the show since he left SNL and wonder if that has had anything to do with the quality going up.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on November 23, 2015, 07:14:37 AM It's one of the few shows that isn't sports related that is appointment TV now in my house. Which is RARE.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on December 02, 2015, 11:45:51 AM New Episode is tonight!
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on December 03, 2015, 07:49:18 AM Last night's episode was pretty lame. Sort of a filler episode that didn't really advance the story at all, nor did it have any take off one-liner jokes.
The only parts where I really laughed were when Jimmy gets accused of thinking with his dick, and when Randy gets the shit kicked out of him by Caitlen Jenner. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Segoris on December 03, 2015, 08:15:00 AM I agree it wasn't a really funny episode, and even a bit of a let down, but it did make me realize that SP has better storytelling than most of the shit on TV right now.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on December 03, 2015, 08:26:51 AM I agree it wasn't a really funny episode, and even a bit of a let down, but it did make me realize that SP has better storytelling than most of the shit on TV right now. Yeah I never would have thought about SP "advancing a story" but here we are. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Abagadro on December 03, 2015, 03:45:36 PM Randy being amazed at the breaching of the safe space zone was great, Garrison and Jenner's interaction was fun and kinda sweet, the "hunger strike" being a strike of not eating pussy was a pretty good throw away joke, and Jenner constantly running over people will never not be funny. Plus a Barbrady "I'm through shooting people" (blam) "oh sorry. "
It was the middle of a three parter and felt like it but i liked a lot of stuff in it. Title: Re: South Park Post by: MrHat on December 14, 2015, 09:26:28 AM Finale was a bit of a let down but I think they just started having too many great ideas and couldn't get them all neatly tied.
The gun show had me chuckling though. Title: Re: South Park Post by: K9 on December 16, 2015, 01:52:15 PM "To the Classi-moblie!" cracked me up. Bot otherwise it did feel like a bit of a flat ending.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Phildo on December 16, 2015, 02:36:38 PM Maybe it's just because I literally live in Shi Tpa Town (our Whole Foods is under construction and opens some time next year), but I found the entire plot about gentrifying the Earth until humans can't afford to live there anymore to be hilarious. Same with the beat from "how are we going to get guns" to "ok, now we have guns".

Title: Re: South Park Post by: Soln on November 06, 2016, 07:19:49 PM I wonder if they know what to do if Trump is elected.
Title: Re: South Park Post by: apocrypha on November 06, 2016, 10:59:19 PM PSA: There is a new Southpark season. Actually it has been going on for 6 episodes I found out just now It's been great so far! I wonder if they know what to do if Trump is elected. If that happens humour is over, there's nothing left to laugh about. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on November 07, 2016, 05:17:11 AM I wonder if they know what to do if Trump is elected. They'll have Garrison freaking out as Jenner takes over and runs things. Like Trump is likely to do. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on November 10, 2016, 06:09:29 AM I wonder if they know what to do if Trump is elected. They didn't. They had to do a quick rewrite and I don't think it was where they wanted to go with things. As a result the episode was pretty bizarre and not as funny. Mirroring the actual election I'm sure. They did get in some funny shots at trolling, but again it feels like they are setting up to something. Title: Re: South Park Post by: jgsugden on November 10, 2016, 12:27:51 PM Like SNL, the results were bad in the eyes of the South Park folk personally, but gold professionally. They may not have been ready for the result for this week, but they have ample source material until a few weeks after
Title: Re: South Park Post by: Paelos on December 08, 2016, 06:07:20 AM This ended the season last night, and like most South Park endings to their story arcs lately it was incredibly silly.
The funniest part to me was Cartman convincing guys that they were going to end up on the Cum and Joke Mines on Mars to serve women. Member berries were more of an actual critique of the entertainment industry rather than a joke to me. I don't think they did enough with Garrison's character because they were honestly shocked he won. I think they had something much funnier lined up with Clinton, but the actual election stole it away and they had to go into crisis mode and the story sort of fell apart with the election stuff after that. The trolls stuff got old to me after a while. Although I did enjoy the parting shot at the end about the first email sent in the new internet. Title: Re: South Park Post by: Merusk on December 08, 2016, 09:51:45 AM Member berries were certainly supposed to be a larger element and the election fucked it. No idea how they were going to ultimately fold into things, but since the memberberries won the US election in the end there was no way to destroy Garrison with them.
Hell, the whole episode the day after the election was clearly, "OH shit... " Randy had just discovered the member farm the week before. The Cartman thing I'm relatively sure was going to be a more permanent shift. Much like PC Principal as an addition. That's all scrapped now as that segment of the nation is going to have zero influence on things for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll circle back 'round to the silliness of the 90's over the next four years. |
