The Official South Park Thread

[Koray Savas 2,256]

Not sure if this is the right place for it, but we have Heroes and Lost threads here that mostly discuss the shows themselves. But yeah, I realized I missed a couple episodes in the middle of the current season.

I watched Over Logging and Super Fun Time, both ridiculously hilarious. I loved the Close Encounters reference in Over Logging, has anyone else seen it?

[John Crichton 4]

Is Super Fun Time the last one from last year, with the Burger King robbers and the historical reenactmant park? That one was great, with Butters' best moment ever at the end. "Teacher, my partner is back on the bus!"

Last week's new one was good. A nice small character episode, watching Cartman trying to weasel his way out of the fight was great.

John- who was tempted to do this with Mark's recent South Park thread

[Koray Savas 2,256]

Yeah Super Fun Time was that. Sheriff McLawDog

Last weeks was pretty good, I enjoyed the Snatch and There Will Be Blood part. "Eric, did you just crap on my desk?"

And we can attach this to Mark's SP thread and make that an official one. But that has quite a few pages of random stuff.

EDIT: Ah I love to share my hate for Philip Glass, and this is the perfect thread for it. Watch this video. The joke happens towards the end.

[Neimoidian 14]

I must get back to watching it. I think I stopped at season 9... Shame on me.

[Docteur Qui 1,580]

The Close Encounters reference in "Over Logging" had me in hysterics, in an already excellent episode.

But my favourite is "Super Fun Time", mainly as I work at a historical park (Sovereign Hill, 1850's on the Goldfields in Victoria, to be precise!) and can relate to the frustration of the visitors.

[John Crichton 4]

Never break character!

[Koray Savas 2,256]

We're gonna try and find some internet down Californee way.

The premise of that episode was so familiar. I know it's making fun of a movie, but I can't remember which.

it was making fun of Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath

[Bryant Burnette 755]

So far, this season has been excellent. First, the now-infamous raped-Indy episode . . . an instant classic.

Then, the Breast Cancer Awareness show. Another classic.

The most recent one, which began as a Peruvian flute band episode and ended up being an awesome Cloverfield parody, was also excellent.

I love this show.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

I need to watch last week's episode, which is the flute band one. This season has been great, but I don't think many realized they took a break midseason. This is still the same one back with the Britney Spears episode and Major Boobage making fun of Heavy Metal.

[Red 75]

The most recent one, which began as a Peruvian flute band episode and ended up being an awesome Cloverfield parody, was also excellent.

Not to mention Blaire Witch, and every other "home video movie".

Right you are.

Me, I love both The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield; but that is definitely a mockable genre.

[John Crichton 4]

The shots of Randy running were the highlight of the mocking. I also loved Craig's speeches. "You know why no one hangs out with you guys?"

[Koray Savas 2,256]

OMG! I just watched the episode. That was hilarious, especially Randy's moment at the end.

[Bryant Burnette 755]

The live-action Guinea pigs were what made me laugh the hardest. They just look so (intentionally) crap; it's hilarious.

And the Cloverfield-esque sound effects were dead on.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

Yeah the fact that they were guinea pigs got me laughing uncontrollably, especially since they were real.

[John Crichton 4]

Oh God, I am so startled!

[Ollie 1,291]

Kinda silly tonite.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

I thought it was hilarious, better than the first half.

"It's a guinea mouse, stupid!"

[Koray Savas 2,256]

This has to be one of my favorite episodes of South Park. The music had me cracking up every time.

[Bryant Burnette 755]

Tonight's episode...?

Well, number one, fellas, kudos for getting an election episode out there about as quickly as humanly possible.

Number two, I found all of the town-reaction stuff to be pretty hilarious.

Number three, the actual Obama/McCain plot was just retarded. Not without its good moments, but it didn't feel like South Park to me; I expect biting satire, and instead I got Family Guy-esque randomness. It was funnier than it would have been on Family Guy, but in my world, that ain't saying much.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

It definitely seemed like South Park to me. You also have to consider they probably just finished the episode before it had to air, so I thought it was pretty good for being made and aired under 24 hours.

[Jay 42,494]

I enjoyed it a lot

Was it parodying Ocean's 11 directly, or just all the recent Heist movies in general?

[Red 75]

They must have been working like crazy to get the episode finished in time for airing.

[John Crichton 4]

The initial twist with Obama and McCain was great, but after that it all felt a little flat and predictable. Honestly I was hoping for something a bit more political, but what we got on that front was still good.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

the last 3 weeks on South Park have been pretty poor.

[John Crichton 4]

Well, that's one opinion...A wrong one, but hey, if you want to run with it go ahead.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

Well, that's one opinion...A wrong one, but hey, if you want to run with it go ahead.

no, its the correct one, the guin. pig 2pt. episode was uber awful, and last night was just ehh, not really bad, not good. I kept waiting for a good laugh that never came.

However it started off with 2 home runs. I'm afraid its run its course though

[John Crichton 4]

I'll agree about last night's, it was overall pretty meh, but I enjoyed the guinea pig/mouse/rabbit/etc two parter. Craig's ribbing of the boys and the situations they keep ending up in was brilliant, and the Cloverfield parody was fun (says a Cloverfield lover). So far it's been better and more consistent than the first half of the season.

[Red 75]

I liked elements of the presidential episode, like the reactions of the townspeople (like Bryant said). But I agree the main story was a bit weak, and overall it wasn't as good as the previous episodes.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

the cloverfield part was weak, the pigs were worse. Dave and I both cringed, you guys here are the first people I've encounter who seem to like it. The only good part was Randy saying I'm soooooo startled.

I think they probably had last nights episode done several ways considering the outcome, the only recent part must have been about the grandmother, that actually was tastless even for them.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

This weeks episode was bad. I only thought the beginning with actual gameplay from Call Of Duty: World At War was funny. Last weeks was great though.

[John Crichton 4]

I like it. At first I thought they were riffing off of Twilight, which I know nothing about other there's apparently vampires involved, but I liked the Hot Topic bit.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

it was ok, much better than the guinia pig episodes, but still just ok.

[Ollie 1,291]

Sometimes South Park is great, other times they can be meh or just average.

The guinea pig episode was rather silly once they were revealed.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

South Park is always silly.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

no its not

[Koray Savas 2,256]

Yeah it is, thats why its funny.

[Red 75]

no its not

True.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

Underpants gnomes?

[Red 75]

Underpants gnomes?

Most of the time it is, but not always. It is a biting social commentary after all.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

Anyone watching the new episode?

[John Crichton 4]

Yeah, I thought about bumping this up earlier tonight. That was...interesting.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

I thought it was mediocre. The funniest part was Mr. Slave.

[JoeinAR 1,955]

it was ok, it definately wasn't bad. And evil Mickey, hmmmm, Disney isn't going to be happy.

Kenny Died and no one said you bastard.

[John Crichton 4]

I was laughing pretty hard when Mickey first turned up. The main thing I was thinking of was how would Ray react if he was watching.

[Bryant Burnette 755]

Not a great episode, but slightly amusing, and kinda shocking in how brazenly anti-Disney it was.

I won't be the least bit surprised if Disney sues.

[Koray Savas 2,256]

Most of what they said is true though

[Jay 42,494]

Anybody besides me have DirecTV? I got the episode in HD!

[Wojo 2,458]

I have that, but we don't subscribe to the HD package. So when I press 249 for Comedy Central, I have to press channel up once and then back down to get to "normal" Comedy Central. Typing in any channel number manually automatically takes me to the HD equivalent, only to read the message that I'm not subscribed to it. And I can't seem to deactivate this by making a favorites list. It's aggravating.
