South Park

[marcus]

How do they do it? Its well into the 7th series, and its still as sharp, funny and downright brilliant as ever. I thought that after all these years it would either of lost its way, be finished or Id simply of gotton tired of it but when it still produces classic episodes like the below its no surprise to see the show still going strong. I wonder how long Matt and Tre will decide to keep it rolling, on current showings I hope as long as possible.

South Park Is Gay

Queer Eye for the Straight guy has turned all the men in South Park into Metrosexuals, men who arent gay but act like they are. Cue hilarious scenes with My Garrison trying to get various men to come home with him for a "good time" with him and Mr Slave, and not understanding his brush off because the men arent really gay, just acting. The guys take over the shopping malls looking for the latest designer fashions, pissing the women off which is where things start going badly wrong. Seeing the kids turn metreosexual is so funny.

Fat Butt And Pancake Head

One of the all time classics, so amusing I was almost crying! Its Latino week in SP, where the kids put on a show to celebrate Latino culture. Stan thinks hes onto a winner with his brilliant presentation, until Cartman turns up with none other than.... Jennifer Lopez! Well, almost, more a crudly drawn face on a hand that he mimes along to and calls J-Lo. Not content with winning the competition Cartman takes J-Lo shopping and there she sees a recording booth and records her own song Taco Flavoured Kisses - this gets picked up on by the music industry bigwigs, and Jennifer Lopez is on her (its, whatever) way to stardom.. of course there isnt room on this planet for two J-Los, and so one of them has to go... A brilliant episode, just watch it!

[Pjam2003]

"oh si si si he so handsome"

that episode is the best!

Another of my favs is when they find out earth is nothing more than a reality tv show for the rest of the universe. its the first show where they put species from all different planets (such as jews, zebras, asians etc) and put them all together on the same planet...and you never know it might be true.

I agree on what you said. Its been 7 series, over 100 episodes and its still as funny and controversial as it ever was.

Also I watched a feature about southpark on vh1 the other day. Didnt realise it only takes about 5 days to make an episode compared to the simpsons which takes nearly a year.

Phil.

[marcus]

That episode was Cancelled, another great one :)

Have you seen the latest - where Cartman desperatly wants to go to Casa Bonita - his favourite place in the whole world - Kyles birthday is coming up and for a present his mother gives him tickets for him to take three friends along there. Unfortunatly for Cartman, he decided to take Butters as Cartman is always such an asshole to him (Cartman to Kyle - "When have I ever made fun of you for being a Jew?"). This pisses Cartman off, who decides to kidnap Butters by hiding him away, telling him that a metiroite has hit Earth and wiped out the whole world, which has been overrun by zombies, just so he can go instead. Freindship and loyalty at their most cruellest here, its actually quite hard to watch as Butters gets taken more and more in becuase of his extreme gullable nature.

[Roost]

I downloaded the South Park is Gay on kazaa, and nothing will bloody play the avi file, divx player just says it isn't a valid avi file :(

[marcus]

Maybe you need the XVid codec. Right click/Properties on the file, it may well tell you the codec you need there. Its a great episode btw, and very topical :)

[sutom]

If you guys want the latest SP episodes, I suggest you go to www.lando.co.uk

They only have the latest 2 episodes up at a time, but they get them real fast after the US airing, and the d/l speeds are really good.

[Weinberg]

I'm getting Sky installed today...or Friday (don't ask), so which channel and when is South Park on?

And also, why did they only release up to series 4 on DVD and stop? In the USA, they're only getting series 3 and 4 on DVD now!

thanks ;)

[marcus]

Its on Sky at the moment and also Channel 4.

The box set thing is very annoying, I want all of these on DVD, despite the AVIs I have being of high quality. Ive got all the box sets so far and want to complete my collection, then have one big South Park weekender :happy:

[Weinberg]

Yeah i've been watching on Channel 4, however they stupidly put it really late. No doubt less people watch and C4 assume it's not popular and won't show the next series.

It is a brilliant show though. I actually met the creators in Hollywood in August and got them to sign a poster for me, which is now framed :D

[The Space Cowboy]

The Simpsons? Futurama? Family Guy?

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb!

South park is easily the best animated show next to beavis and butthead ;p Its also easily one of the best TV shows. Almost every single episode from Cartman gets an anal probe to the truth about Mormons I have been floored with laughter/shock but most times both, each time.

How the hell do they manage it? And how do they get away with the subjects the touch on? ;p

TV show DVDs are a pain in the arse. I got 1-4 so far with 5 being due early 04 and I canneh bloody wait ;p

Fifth series of the hit show and the South Park boys are showing no signs of going soft. No taboo left untouched, this is as brilliantly sick and satirical as ever.

No better words describe it tbh ;D

Smart smart smart smart smart!

;p

[marcus]

I cried for the first time in ages today.

Why? Watching Cartman singing Christian rock songs in episode 709.

By far the funniest thing Ive seen in ages.

[marcus]

Seeing as how they wont release these on DVD I think Ill make up my own instead. Dependant on how it goes, I may or may not have a DVD with every episode from the 7th series on it shortly for people interested. Possibly. Im getting 712 now, I assume thats about the last episode.

[sutom]

Nah theres gotta be a few more. 713 is on US TV tomorrow (wed) so wait for that at least

[makkuwata]

Freindship and loyalty at their most cruellest here, its actually quite hard to watch as Butters gets taken more and more in becuase of his extreme gullable nature.

nothing can top what Cartman tried to make him do at the end of the NAMBLA episode :lol:

[marcus]

Oh yeah lol that was truly harsh!!

Cartman can be so evil.

I watched the Mormon episode yesterday, and it was quite amusing. Mind you, anything that takes the piss out of religion is fine by me.. :p

[The Space Cowboy]

pmsl @ 715.

I was slightly gutted with the season comming to an end that he would prob not make an appearance, But he did pmsl :D

[marcus]

Ive yet to watch that one, I will do later on though. Did you see "Raisens"? Another good one, Butters must be one of SPs strongest charecters.

[Pirotic]

I agree - Butters is one of the sweetest characters. Raisins was a cool episode, i burst out in laughter when it 'clicked' why the place was called Raisins (if you dont get it, look up 'hooters' in google)

the newest episode is out, Christmas in Canada - its a rather weak ending to the season but it has a surprise ending which is very up to date, they must of only of made the episode a few weeks ago.

(i wont ruin it, but its worth getting just for that ending)

My only complaint about the series is they didnt feature enough of Jimmy and Timmy - my two favorite characters.

[The Space Cowboy]

Aye raisens is good best bit tho-

Typing it wouldnt do it justice ;p (http://www.southparkstudios.com/down/download.html?file=/media/sounds/714/STANSAYSYOURA.wav)

Jimmy pwns ;p

[DaveW]

Do they have Hooters restaurants in the UK now? Thats what Raisens was a parody of.

The South Park episode that made the character of Cartman for me was "Scott Tenorman Must Die". If you don't remember it, its the one when Scott (the older kid) keeps tricking Cartman into buy his pubes. Cartman plots a really evil revenge at the end. Its my all time favorite episode.

The latest episode was good too. Saddam is back - "hey relax fella, im not Saddam", "GET HIM", "hey wait, I wish to negotiate".

[marcus]

STMD was brilliant, talk about revenge :blink:

Are they ever going to release the DVD boxsets for the remaining 3 series? I really need this..

[The Space Cowboy]

Sorry but

****ING *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dvd.co.uk now guessing @ a 2005 release for season 5 on dvd!

****ing long does it take?!

[Weinberg]

FFS!! They take a few weeks to make the episodes...I bought a DVD player when The Matrix was released and bought SP season 4 then. When was that, late 1999? Perhaps 2000? And the SP set had probably been out a while. So 4-5 years later, they STILL haven't released series 5 on DVD?! Did you all know though, that very surprisingly, although we got series 3 and 4 yonks ago on DVD, America only got them a few months ago in December 2003 :o

Really taking far too long though. Can anyone burn series 5-whatever series it is now onto a DVD? I'll pay you well!

[sutom]

I thought season 5 was already out?!
they have it on play.com, but its out of stock or something.

I really want it too, been (D/Ling) them instead but they are so good I need the DVDs. when can we expect seasons 6 and 7?

[jassi singh]

:lol: :lol: Ive just watched the "Southpark is Gay" episode and all i keep singing is

CRAB PEOPLE
CRAB PEOPLE
TASTE LIKE CRAB
TALK LIKE PEOPLE

:lol:

Its a must see epidode :D

[The Space Cowboy]

Season 8 is about. Well first ep is anyway.

poor butters is all iam going to say ;p

[Olympichero]

Ive been watching the latest series of South Park shown by Channel 4 and have to say that Im really enjoying it so far. All the episodes have been really funny, and despite me not really giving it a chance in the past (except for the towelie/gamesphere episode) it has really grown on me.

So what Im trying to say is...er... Yay South Park :)

[Firsty]

LMFAO Season 8 opener!
That's fantastic!

Aaaw ****ing hell, just got the the Butters bit.
That's not right...

[Darwock]

How up to date are C4? I was quite surprised when I caught an episode on a late night and Kenny really IS dead!

The one with the folk-music quest of the gerbil where he meets the catatafish... omfg...!

[Sasuke]

I hadn't watched South Park in ages before I watched Season 8 Ep 1 and was surprised to find it was still as funny if not funnier than it ever was.

I'd heard they'd killed off Kenny, but he seems to be back now. Off to download the rest :ph34r:

[The Space Cowboy]

Kenny was only gone a season i think.

It just keeps getting better and better, wasnt really liking how that ep was going then
kenny pwned butters and it just got great ;p

[marcus]

The first episode of Season 8 is probably one of the funniest things Ive seen in years. Jesus, what happened to poor Butters was so harsh lol

Genius.

[The Space Cowboy]

Was more than harsh ;p the bit in the dog pound is just wrong ;p

[Firsty]

"It was a wardrobe malfunction"

http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20040202/i/r2794264459.jpg

God that was just far too funny.

Hey hey let's go kick assu!

[marcus]

Yeh that bit with Cartman was just too much lol, the way he slowly shuffled along the stage and the looks on everyones face :D

[makkuwata]

The second episode was enjoyable enough, not a classic though.

Cartman having a Mel Gibson poster in his bedroom: :lol:

[sutom]

yeah it says 803 where i got it from, as in the 3rd episode, so did they decide to miss out the 2nd or was it just named wrong? it also says 802 will be next...

[The Space Cowboy]

Jimmy were you masturbating?

[Firsty]

Jesus Christ dad!

[marcus]

Gotta say, that after the brilliant opening episode, episode 2 and 3 were in comparison really poor. The Jesus one wasnt funny at all, whilst the retard one was a little too close to the bone for my liking.

Thankfully the 4th episode is a lot better, the dance off competition against OC state kids was quite amusing. Looks like Ep 5 is out now too, with any luck Ill check it out today.

OT - can you think of any charecter in cartoon history who has worse things happen to him than Butters? Hes constantly picked on, and yet is the nicest charecter imagineable. That poor kid suffers week in week out... :blink:

[JRMacumber]

I thought the Special Olypics episode was hysterical. I'm not a big believer in Hell, but if anyone deserves to go there and run it, it's Cartman. That fat little **** is evil...

[marcus]

Aye, totally. I just found that one a little too hard to watch, Cartman pretending to be a retard was probably for me the lowest its ever gone, to the point where it wasnt that funny. Timmy and Jimmy are two of my favourite charecters in it though that said, especially Jimmy.

Remember the one where Jimmy sang the "12 days of christmas"? :D

[JRMacumber]

Had it been anyone other than Cartman, I might have blanched, but with him I just can't take it seriously enough to get offended over it. The kid is vileness made flesh, with darkest evil in his veins. Therefore, I laugh. I just can't help it.

[Pirotic]

what did you guys make of the 'dance dance revolution' character in the new episode?

they got it spot on :P the t-shirt and everything.. creepy

[The Space Cowboy]

Heh i thought it was class tbh ;p Him playing retarded wasnt that funny but the fact hes sick enough to do so very much is :D

i uploaded this so iam not getting someones bandwidth raped ;p

Cartman tells a joke [3.7mb .wmv] (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/allan.mckay1/southpark.wmv)

Its only south park but if i were you id leave it till you got home from work ;p ( if you are unlucky enough to be there ;p)

[marcus]

rofl where the hell did you find that??

[The Space Cowboy]

Heh ;p

Dancing ep was good, rofl how does butters get into so much shit? ;p

[The Space Cowboy]

Also does anyone else find themselves singing the fingerbang song? ;/

edit - Ack Edit not post ya stupid **** ;x

[sutom]

I think of the fingerbang song all the time!

and that clip, I can't believe they made that :o

South Park = Best programme EVER.

[marcus]

Also does anyone else find themselves singing the fingerbang song? ;/

Actually, yes.

[The Space Cowboy]

Thank **** for that ;p

Iam gonna fingerbang bang you into my life!
Guuurl you like to fingerbang and it's alright!
Cos iam the king of fingerbang lets not fight ill just fingerbang bang you everynight ;p

[Bleeders]

Anyone caught the new episode yet? 'The Jeffersons' I believe it's called.

One of the best South Park episodes to date IMO. Absolutely hilarious. :lol:

"Ooo I'm Peter Pan". :D

[marcus]

I got that one last night, youve got me all hyped up about it now :blink:

If its better than the Ninja one Ill be so happy, Ill try to watch it tonight if I can.

[Bleeders]

What season was the ninja one from mate? I missed a couple seasons after initially losing interest.

Try and catch the the new one if you can. Funniest one I've seen in a long time.

[marcus]

The ninja one was called "dont play with weapons" or something and was (I think) number 801. One of the best for me, we talked about it earlier on in this thread.

[Bleeders]

Ah right, I know the one now. :D I thought there might've been another one from the season before or something.

[Firsty]

"NOOOO NOOO, you're just iiiignorant"
The thriller bit was so awful. I felt bad laughing at it.

[Bleeders]

Another good episode seen yesterday, not quite on par with the excellent 'The Jeffersons', but quite funny none-the-less.

This is certainly shaping up to be a strong season for South Park.

"De Tok R Jerbs" :lol:

[jezzace]

Just watched the Ninja one and the special olympics one...

Ninja episode is amazing!! "I'm bulrog...my power is I have every power!" Plus that song... :D

The steroids one is also gold though I felt really bad laughing at cartman being disabled...its a little harsh that episode but thats why I love south park: " whats his disability?....He's retarded."

South park is one of the few comedy series thats actually gotten better the longer its gone on. :happy:

[marcus]

Watched the latest, 808, Douche and Turd, unfortunatly its one of the unfunniest ones Ive seen so far. Shame, as the rest of S8 is very good.

[Olympichero]

Are they gonna finish season 8 all in one go now or are they gonna stop again?

[Shotski]

After a few series everybody i knew stoped watching. Funny thing is it just got better come on butters a supervillan and towlie.

[marcus]

I think Douche and Rurd would of been much funnier had I of been an American, the joke is somewhat lost on me though.

[marcus]

Hmm another poor episode "something Wall Mart this way comes", which makes two in a row. Thankfully "Pre-School" is back on form again, the kids get payback from a hardassed bully whom they stitched up back at pre-school. Seeing the kids as 4 year olds STILL going on about the same things they do now (Cartman to Kyle - "shut up you stupid Jew") was just too funny - and thankfully it had the severely distasteful parts which make SP so great that was missing from the last two.

[PeteJ]

I thought the Wall Mart one was quite funny, but then I've only seen 3 episodes from season 8...

[marcus]

Compared to the others, its much weaker. It was better than the unfunny Douche one though I guess. Season 8 has been brilliant other than those few.

[Mad Gear]

Man, i don't think i've seen anything from the last few seasons.
Hurry TFU with the DVD's already. Kept missing it on telly.

[marcus]

Ive heard that S5 is finally getting a DVD release, its ridiculous how they have kept us SP fans waiting so long. I have to live with the comedy central MPG rips which are decent quality, but no substitute for DVD.

[marcus]

812 was another good one with a great ending.

Rewatching s8 again , the best bit must be in 'goobacks' when the men all decide to shag each other in the hope of turning the world gay, the mass of bodies shagging at the end is just too much >_<

[The Space Cowboy]

Heh 812 is great. Mr Slave has always been good but he pwns in this episode ;p He pwns so very much ;x

Gotta love the bit with the dog too i never seen that coming ;p

lol and the end with the lemiwinks ref ;p

GOLD ;p

[Firsty]

#stupid spoiled whore video playset#
"I'm pretending to talk on the cell phone to my friends, while my man waits for more sex!" They got Paris' look so right. The lazy eye, rofl. And the skinny hips with the bits sticking out.

I quite liked the giant douche episode.

[RLench]

Don't think it's been mentioned yet but series 5 is out on DVD in America now ;) Technically it came out last week but some places were shipping it early (I got it mid February iirc)

Watched it all now and it's really funny...easily as good as I remember. The Scott Tenorman episode is probably one of my favourites. Then there's Towelie, Cripple Fight, the stem cell episode...and a few other really funny episodes

[marcus]

Thank god, thanks for the heads up.

Scott Tenorman is just brilliant. Cripple Fight is plain wrong, but so funny.

[The Space Cowboy]

Meh i want it in the same cases as before >_< ;p

[RLench]

Shame there's no real special features though, apart from 5 minute 'mini' commentaries on each episode. They're pretty funny but it's annoying that they only last a few minutes before ending and the regular soundtrack resumes :rolleyes:

[Olympichero]

Do you...like your chilli Scott?

I love Cartman :|

[MartyG]

Episode 9.1 - Mr Garrison's New Vagina.

I wouldn't say it was a classic episode, but it had its moments towards the end.

Mr Garrison's testicles exploding after having been used to make Kylie taller by implanting them into his knees. Typical South Park gore ensues. I thought the Mrs. Garrison not being able to bleed through her snatch, get pregnant and have an abortion was pretty weak though

[The Mole]

I thought it was quite good, not upto series 7 standards but a watchable episode non the less.

I guess you all heard that South Park was axed by Sky One and from April will be on Paramount Comedy.

[Ciaran]

I guess you all heard that South Park was axed by Sky One and from April will be on Paramount Comedy.
I'm not suprised considering the amount of advertising it would get on Sky. It would be pure luck if I found it on. :dry:

[Jebus]

I enjoyed it, it made me laugh out loud a few times but mainly at the very british sense of humour it showed in places... "Who wants to plough my vag?? GIRL POWER!!!" and "What kind of woman can't bleed out of her snatch once a month..." being the funniest bits for me...

The new season will probably improve though...

[MartyG]

I put Kylie - I must be obsessing :)

I hope so, and I'm sure it will. There's never been a season where every single episode has hit the nail on the head. I'm sure that's true of every TV series.

[Jet Set UNITED]

Don't know if this has already been posted but South Park season 8 is gonna air on Paramount Comedy, so hopefully no more butchering of episode order and terrible air times it used to get on Sky One.

[oracle]

the first episode is very good

[Concept]

Watch out for the episode Awesome-o.

It's amazing.

[Mad Gear]

When???!!

[MarkyB]

Watch out for the episode Awesome-o.

It's amazing.

is that the one with cartman pretending to be a robot??? :D

[Lactose Intollerant]

902 is good.

Mainly for cartman acting like he's in ghostbusters.

[MartyG]

I thought it was more like he was in Arachnophobia. Better ep than the first, though still not up to eps from last season yet. I have ep 3 to watch, and actually looking forward to that :)

[Lactose Intollerant]

Just watched 903.

Url and samples from the site featured at the end are the best bit :)

[MartyG]

Oh that's actually a website then :)

The best of series 9 so far for sure. I liked "Tolken Black", very well played. When South Park does the intelligent taking the piss I enjoy it all the more. This played the agency card brilliantly.

[Concept]

is that the one with cartman pretending to be a robot??? :D

Yes. :D

Cartman is ****ing evil to Butters. :lol:

[MartyG]

Episode 4 of season 9.

This episode worked on so many levels - taking the piss out of the PSP, Lord of the Rings, Life Support, even the odd Star Wars reference.

Definitely the best of the series so far - and beware PSP owners - don't get to level 60.

[in5ane]

I just watched the PSP episode, and thought South Park has kinda sold out really. Sure it was super funny, but they mentioned Sony PSP like 100 times, and saying it was literally 'made by god' - hmmm... would have worked just as well if it was a made up console. Still, could have been worse... i was expecting them to say the DS was made by the devil :)

[kapowza]

they've done that before though, with the DC, only Nintendo were stupid enough to refuse the free publicity, Okama Gamesphere and all. God forbid someone outside their core audience would even hear about the GC :(

[Resonance]

South Parkify yourself! Probs posted before but...

[SubparMario]

Think I've seen that before but it's still pretty cool!

http://www.badgerparade.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/spme.gif

I was very suprised with the new episode featuring PSP, talk about up to date, the things only just out in the US. Great show though, I've only just got back into watching it on web tv. It's worth watching just for the XD faces.

[Concept]

[xbox_fanboy]

"there is another we could use. a japanese boy reached level 59."
...
"dont be stupid gabrielle, japanese kids dont have souls."

[Concept]

It was a class episode, even though you know they've been blatantly paid (or told by the networks) to pimp the PSP out. As in5ane pointed out - the amount of times they actually say it's name during the episode was amazing.

However, they are taking the piss out of the hype accompanying the machine. Anyone find it amusing how in heaven while Kenny is controlling the gold PSP, one of the angels there is commenting on how it's better than Return of the King and how he's missing out on all the action?

With the way Sony have hyped the PSP, you'd think you could control the world or involve yourself in full scale film CGI battles. ;)

[in5ane]

I thought the Lord of the Rings joke about the battle being so great was just a joke about the camera actually not seeing it, nothing more.

[Concept]

Personally, I thought it was a reference to George Lucas' and Sony's claims about what the PS2 could do before launch.

The whole 'created by God' thing was clearly laying into the hype-machine.

That was the same as the ep before where they kept blatantly mentioning the "SEGA DREAMCAST" throughout the show, Ive not seen the one you mention yet but it sounds really similar. They made it pretty obvious that they were pimping it :)

[melody]

:)

I don't think the latest series is too good so far but maybe that's because series 8 opened so strongly in comparison :)

[MartyG]

S9E5 - Don't waste your bandwidth.

[in5ane]

It wasn't too bad. I thought the Randy story was kinda funny- i laughed out loud at at least 2 or 3 bits (the eggs bit i thought was super funny). And the 'The Best' music is great :)

[Jebus]

You kiddin about 9x05? Best South Park I've seen in AGES. Me and a mate were in stitches, mainly at the Randy stuff.

Every time he took his shirt off, we cracked up : "What you wann do?" so funny.

Season 9 had been a major let down until this episode, about time they had a new episode that actually made me laugh out loud!

[Lyris]

I never know what to think about South Park, there's some really funny episodes (the ones where they're at the ski resort, Big Gay Al getting kicked out of the scouts and being replaced by a pedophile) and then there's ones that just seem really painful and unfunny like the PSP one with the Terry Schiavo spoof. I cringed when the guy said something like "You are the master of all PSPs"...

[anephric]

The trouble with scattergun humour, firing at all targets, is, some of the time, you're gonna miss...

Do you agree, btw Lyris, that Mr. Hanky is a blatant John K. rip?

[Firsty]

The baseball one was funny. Better than the ep with Wing.

[Lyris]

Do you agree, btw Lyris, that Mr. Hanky is a blatant John K. rip?
That's pretty much what I read, he tried to sell Comedy Central the idea of Nutty the Friendly Dump for years and then they come out with that... pretty suspicious.

The reasons they gave as well also sounded a bit improvised. "Trey Parker had a Mr. Hanky character his father actually created for him when he was being potty trained 26 years ago." It sort of seems to play on the old cliche of "say it's something from your childhood and they won't argue".

I think in the end though, he just had to settle for the idea that "you can't copyright a dump"...

[Zanza]

As soon as I knew it was going to be a Randy based episode, I knew it would be fantastic, Randy is one of the best characters in southpark. Loved the karate Kid music thrown over it, especialy at the end where Randy starts singing it while throwing the final punches. Fantastic episode, not hillarious, but an all around brilliant episode.

[in5ane]

'I thought this was America? Isn't this America?' repeated the whole time was funny. But some bits were painfully 'obvious'- which is what kinda marred the episode for me.

[Jebus]

'I thought this was America? Isn't this America?'
Oh that cracked me up so much!

[melody]

I don't know i'm starting to lose confidence in Trey and Matt. I didn't find the baseball episode funny at all. Stretching out one or two unfunny jokes into an entire episode (or movie with Team America) and bringing in their political opinions so often does not entertain me. I want Cartman being awful, Butters being adorable and Chef giving the children advise like the South Park of old :(

I agree with them bringing in their opinions thing... South Park I feel can get a bit preachy, especially towards the end of episodes where the characters all exclaim that they've learned a lesson and they'll never do something/treat someone badly again.

Speaking of other Trey-n-Matt stuff, did anyone ever see That's My Bush? I saw a couple of episodes (think it got canceled after about 11?) and it seemed quite funny at least just for the novelty value. If you never saw or heard of it, it's a sitcom set in the White House with pretty convincing looking actors playing George Bush Jr and co.

[marcus]

Ive watched the first three from series 9 and think its definitly the weakest of all series' so far. Whereas S8 was 90% brilliant, inventive and sharp, the episodes "Wing", "Die Hippie Die" and "Garrisons Vagina" seemed to be devoid of any real humerous moments. Ive got 4 more to watch still, but hope things pick up from here, as its been a real disappointment so far.

Thats one of the things I like about SP, is despite it being totally off the wall, crazy and vulgar, most episodes have a meaning to the madness. Whether it be the immigration problem addressed by "Goobacks", or the alternative viewpoint towards the rainforest in one of my favourite episodes, "Rainforest Schmainforest" (sp) for example, it uses humour to get messages across extremely well. Some issues are surprisingly current as well.

[in5ane]

All i can say about this weeks new southpark is they changed officer barbradys voice i think :(

[jezzace]

Watched all of the released season nine now and I've not been too impressed. Its still really funny but, lets be honest it was impossible to live up to season 8. The latest one is probably my favourite though, simply because its got jimmy in it whose always funny. Still amazes me how topical south park is though.

[Mad Gear]

After watching the excellent Goobacks episode on Paramount i bought R1 South Park season 5 and watched them the other day, was terribly dissapointed.

[spagmasterswift]

Oh.My.God

The last few episode of South Park I've caught on Paramount have been too damn funny >_<

The Xmas spoof one with the fluffy animals that were Satan Worshippers was genius and the holy PSP that controlled Gods armies of angels in the ultimate battle between heaven and hell was pretty niiice, but did you see...

Cartman pretending to be A.W.E.S.O.M O, Butters pal robot???

Cartman got pwned in the worst ways possible!!! "Weak", "Lame". South Park at its best!!!

[marcus]

Those ones were fantastic, Season 8 was one of the best for me. Sadly S9 hasnt been anywhere near as funny imo. S8 bust me up all the time, I loved the first episode 'cancelled' where it turned out that Earth was just an intergalactic reality show which was due to be cancelled after people of earth found out the bigger picture.

I forget the title but the other one I loved was where a kid the SP crew grasped up on in kindergarton which led to the death of their teacher finally was free from jail, and he hadnt forgot and went after the SP kids. I think Cartman took a photo of his butt, drew a couple of nipples on it, and passed it off to the bigger kids as his mommas tits, who took it into the bushes for a w@nk. Not to mention the titty-twisters and noogies dished out by the vengeful hardarsed kid.

[dr_manhattan]

That episode was quality, I also loved the episode before that about the dancing competition. Served! :P

Which series are these from?

[Jebus]

Can't remember which series but its either the latest (which is half way through, re-starts in october/november, can't remember which) or the one before. My mate and I were saying "You just got SERAVEDDDD" for ages after we watched that episode...

[spagmasterswift]

Good to hear it wasn't some fluke that I just caught the dope episodes, gonna have to check for the rest now for sure. Cartman is possibly the funniest thing man has ever created :D

[marcus]

Those are all from Series 8. Loved Chef when Stan told him that 'hed been served'. Kyle bussing out the line-dance lol

[marcus]

Good to hear it wasn't some fluke that I just caught the dope episodes, gonna have to check for the rest now for sure. Cartman is possibly the funniest thing man has ever created :D

Yeh theres one or two dodgy ones but generally S8 was just quality throughout.

Make sure you watch the one where the kids turn into manga charecters.

And yeh, Cartman is my God :)

[spagmasterswift]

Caught the MTV/VH1 (or what ever its called now days) 'Inside South Park' last night. Man, it was shit funny.

No doubt its a repeat to help hype up the new series which is due to start soon on MTV Mainstage (you seen the Michael Jackson ads?).

Anybody know when its due to begin as I'm bound to miss this if I don't flag it up and I've not had SKY long...

[Hulk Davidson]

Incidentally the second part of series 9 begins in the US tomorrow night (19th Oct)


From epguides.com:
133. 9- 8 908 19 Oct 05 Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow

[spagmasterswift]

Looks like it was on Mainstage Sunday at 10pm (LAST SUNDAY) so I'm already behind. Weak.

Hulk you enjoying series 9?

[eastyy]

I always thought south park was rare type of show where it actually got better as the shows went on.Most others shows i liked seemed to go downhill

[marcus]

Agreed, except for S9 which Id say is the weakest of the lot so far. S8 was one of the best though. Looking forward to seeing the rest of S9, thanks for the headsup on that. Im watching the 'Death of Eric Cartman' atm funnily enough, its not a bad ep.

[Concept]

Season eight was indeed unbelievably brilliant. The later South Park episodes are what got me into the show... I wasn't a fan for the first few series.

Awesome-o. That episode will go down in legend. I don't think I've laughed so much watching anything else.

[Hulk Davidson]

Hulk you enjoying series 9? Its good but not as good as series 8 I'd say man, however the hippies episode was wicked!

Looking forward to the Christmas special as always, that woodland critters one was hilarious!

[spagmasterswift]

Looking forward to the Christmas special as always, that woodland critters one was hilarious!

With South Park being born out of a 'Christmas Card' they seem to go that extra mile during the Holidays. Jesus vs Santa was a class kick-off :D Plus they get to do songs...

[marcus]

Cant remember the Jesus V Santa one, I loved the Jesus V the Devil one though 'live on pay-per view' :)

[eastyy]

What series was the chinpokomon ?

[Concept]

:lol:

I don't know, but I remember the episode. Class.

They had another anime-style one in series eight.

[marcus]

Chinpokeman was class - loved the advert with the Japanese woman saying something like "Its SUPER GOOD". Favourite Chinpokeman must be 'Shoe'.

Anyone see the one with the 'Okama Gamesphere' videogame console? Superb.

[gingerj]

MTV on sunday showed one funny as hell episode of South Park, where they all go to some town auction and all the kids buy weapons, then when they're playing with them they do some role play and then the show goes all anime/gamer and they're recreated as characters that look all to familiar from games :p Then they had a proper cheesy J-POP style tune, it cracked me up. I'd love to know what season it was so I could buy the boxset.

[marcus]

Aye thats the one mentioned a few posts back, its a classic, gotta feel real sorry for Butters in that one it was so harsh..

[gingerj]

Oh my god, I was in tears when it switchd from the role play to him crying with the ninja star in his eye.

[marcus]

Cartman was the typical spoilt brat who just HAD to have more 'powers' than everyone else. The end where he walks across the stage naked, thinking hes invisible, was just TOO much >_<

[gingerj]

Google skillz!!!

http://apple.sysbio.info/~mjhsieh/images/nakedEric.jpg

:D

[spagmasterswift]

Cant remember the Jesus V Santa one, I loved the Jesus V the Devil one though 'live on pay-per view' :)

I remember seeing it on the net a while back, it was the second 'Christmas Card' before the show was commissioned so proper rough and not made with the computer meths they use now. During the ruckus Stan is like "Go Santa" and gets this look off Jesus that's proper class.

[marcus]

Oh yeh, I remember seeing it ages ago now, didnt think it was from a proper ep. Heh what you say above does remind me of the Jesus V Satan one, where Jesus finds out that everyone has backed Satan :)

[spagmasterswift]

Santa. Satan. I guess they must have remade it.

That documentary last night was quite revealing. It was obviously class the way they ended the first part of a series with the cliff hanger of "Who is Cartman's Farther, find out in four weeks time" and then not revealing it. Apparently this totally pissed of the fans of the show who forced them to hurry out the conclusion earlier than they were planning - while still sticking two fingers up by making it Cartman's Mother.

Totally genius.

[marcus]

Wish Id of watched that doc now, IIRC they instead showed another classic episode 'Lemmiwinks' which basically was about the journey of a gerbil that had been inserted into Mr Slaves ass :P

[Rick]

Cant remember the Jesus V Santa one, I loved the Jesus V the Devil one though 'live on pay-per view' :)
IIRC The Jesus V Santa one is where they are sat singing songs, Santa starts singing an Xmas song, then jesus sings a Jesus song.

it goes on for a bit, but Santa runs out of Xmas songs so starts singing Rio by Duran Duran.
Jesus Stops him and Santa storms off

"Aww come on Santa, come back"
"no, F*ck you Jesus. Theres like 5000 Jesus songs but only 12 Christmas Carols" - I ****ing cried with laughter at that line

South park is the best show ever created.

My Favourite episode is Fourth Grade where they get Miss Chokesodik for the first time and they all want to go back in time to 3rd grade.
Funinest bit is when they all decide to show the teacher whos boss and pull a moony at her.
It gets to 8:35 and Cartman gives this little laugh and jumps on his desk and shouts "suck my balls" and is the only one to do it.
Thing is, it happens like 3-4 times througout the episode and he;s the only one that does it. Had me crying with laughter. just that little laugh he does is enough to set me off http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/images/smilie/biggrin.gif

[marcus]

Bit that tickled me when watching S9s 'Erection Day' is when Butters (one of the most comical characters for me) wanders into the school loos and says "Hey! Who's dropping bombs in there? How about a courtesy flush?!"

[Concept]

Butters is great. :D

Him and Cartman should be given a show together.

[marcus]

They were good in the one in S9 called 'Eric Cartman Dies' where everyone decides to totally ignore Cartman, who end up thinking hes a dead spirit that only Butters (the only person who isnt ignoring Cartman) can see :)

What cracks me up is how in one ep Cartman is in Butters house whilst Butters was out, he called up his parents and called them all sorta things, course when Butters gets home and his furious parents arrive soon afterwards he gets uber-beatings.

[Concept]

:lol:

I remember that. His parents are more evil than Cartman to him.

Remember 'Butters Very Own Episode' (with its own theme tune), where his parents are going crazy and he's caught in the middle? :p

Check this out on wikipedia. :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butters

[marcus]

lol yeh gotta love Butters

The other one that always cracks me us is Token Black, the kid with the super-rich parents

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/73/Token_Black.png

[thebuddahman]

I watched todays, had me in fits I tell you...

The one where they go skiing with their parents and get caught in the stereotypical skiing 'scene' and have to race that blonde american 'jock' type.

Highlight for me was when they played the 'montage' song whilst Stan was training for the big race. "You gotta have slow moving pictures showing little steps towards the goal. We call that a montage!! OHHH you gotta have a montage!!!" :D

If you've seen it you will know what the hell im talking about!!

[marcus]

Yep, the montage song idea also featured in Team America :)

[thebuddahman]

Yep, the montage song idea also featured in Team America :)
Oh yes!! I knew I had heard it elsewhere before! Classic! :happy:

Looks like it, Im looking out for this atm

[buster_broon]

because of this thread i decided to revisit south park

i havent watched since season 3 - i think

anyway just watched an episode called '2 days before the day after tomorrow' and it was quite funny

season 9 episode 8 i think

[Jebus]

Wasn't all that good really... :(

[roobarb]

because of this thread i decided to revisit south park

you really need to watch 'Fun with weapons' from series 8. Be ready to cry with laughter

[Concept]

Aye. Series eight has hundreds of high points.

[in5ane]

The latest ep wasn't super-funny, but still very funny in parts.

[Angry the Clown]

I didn't much care for the latest episode either, save for that one guy tossing and turning in the street dying of global warming which really made me laugh. Randy had a couple of amusing moments, notably his call of "wh...we didn't listen" from the window of the car.

[Angry the Clown]

Things certainly improved this week. Hard to go wrong with a Butters episode. Some hilarious moments, and Clyde was on top form too. :)

[Rick]

Are the recent rips stuttering for anyone else? I've not 908 and 909 XVID and they are both ****ed.

I had to download the RM files to watch em.

[in5ane]

They've been fine for moi.

Last nights was good, but i think they've lost the edge they had in series 8.

[funkydan]

Sorry if this has already beem mentioned, but at 10pm this Sunday night (30/10), MTV are showing the new series - not sure which though - 9 possibly?!

[buster_broon]

watched the new one

i did get one of the jokes

margarine's mum phoned and told me she should be invited to the sleepover and because she works for the state/headmistress (i think) you should respect my authorita

so i'm totally not out of the loop for giving up a few seasons ago

butters is cool though

[in5ane]

Sorry if this has already beem mentioned, but at 10pm this Sunday night (30/10), MTV are showing the new series - not sure which though - 9 possibly?!
I think they are showing season 8 aren't they? I'm pretty sure I heard that on one of theri adverts. Season 9 is the latest that is showing now in the states.

[gingerj]

yeah s8 is being shown

[buster_broon]

the one on MTV last Sunday was brilliant

Cartman was dressed up as Awesom-O 4000 to fool butters

very funny - thanks for getting me back into this

[jassi singh]

<Cartman> weak...lame...WEAK....LAAAAAAAAME.

:lol: Its one of my favourite episodes that. :D

[wicky]

Cartman was dressed up as Awesom-O 4000 to fool butters

we have a server at work called awesom-o ;-D

hey guys Aewsome will tend to all our needs

Kyle: Awesome can you get us some snacks and make sure they are cut a couple of inches thick in all areas

awesom-O: Kyle - suck my balls

quality line

[marcus]

Because those bastards dont seem to want to release any South Park boxsets beyond Season 4 over here, I had to use 'alternate means' to get hold of the US released DVDs of S5 and S6.

Just rewatching my way through them again, I forgot just how brilliant the Towlie episode is, its the one with the Towel and the Okama Gamesphere

http://www.boomnet.dk/ugfx/2293/gallery/towlie.jpg_160_border_000000.jpeg

The kids being told by Ms Chokesondick and Mr Mackey about sex and disease in Proper Condom Use was also a great episode :)

[Mad Gear]

I hate you Towlie.

I must admit to finding season 5 pretty poor. I've just ordered seasons 5-9 (yarr) as i'm fed up of waiting for the official boxsets. I don't want the US ones as they don't match my Region 2 sets.

[The Mole]

I am a huge South Park fan.

Like you guys i have been collecting the dvds in R2 format and am sick of waiting for S5, i have been told it will be out by the end of the year but how true that is remains to be seen.

I am quite imperssed with the newest episodes of series 9.

Last Wednesdays episode was mint :) and all the better as i know a ginger South Park fan :) Great to see Big Gay Al back...

[Angry the Clown]

This week's (anti-Scientology) episode was very amusing. Parker was on especially great form with his vocal work.

[marcus]

Hmm cant agree there, I thought it to be one of the weakest episodes Ive seen for ages. its a shame, as the ones prior to this were all pretty good.

[Bleeders]

It was hit and miss I thought, I did like R Kelly singing though...

"John Travolta's in the closet, now I pull out my gun and start shooting people!" :lol:

[Dogg Thang]

Well I liked it simply due to the scientology content although the downside to that was that they played a lot of it more straight than they normally would. I get the impression though that a large chunk of the episode was a direct communication to scientologists rather than their usual audience.

Given the lawsuit history, I thought it was brave of them to air that.

[Angry the Clown]

It's the actual Travolta impression that made me giggle the most ("Tom, it's John Travolta... You just gotta come out of the closet oh mah gad!"). A friend commented that it almost sounds as if Parker is doing a take on Bobcat Goldtwait for the voice.

[marcus]

I did like the new one, episode 913 about the Orca whale. The ending is just wrong though so be warned :P

[buster_broon]

I did like the new one, episode 913 about the Orca whale. The ending is just wrong though so be warned :P

for some reason i expected the opposite - dont know why

[buster_broon]

damn double post

[Bleeders]

I can't believe how the SP guys keep managing to make the program consistently funny. The Christmas episode kept up the good quality of the current series with the Woodland Critter Christmas episode, which was bloody fantastic!

Cartman @ the end... Everyone lived happily ever after... except Kyle, who died of aids two weeks later. :lol:

[marcus]

I love that episode muchly. The ending was classic :-)

[Bleeders]

Is it from the series before that one?

Never seen it before.

[marcus]

Its from season 8 not 9, I see that MTV are advertising it at the moment, I think it will be shown at the weekend.

[Chris B]

Just watched the movie again, good times. :)

[Baseley09]

Watched the Jackson one again for the benifit of peeps who aint seen it. One of the best episodes of any series ever.

fun and adventure!

[marcus]

Ive said it before, but one thing I love about SP is theres always a message.

The episode in S9 'Two days before the day after tomorrow' where a town had been flooded after Kyle and Cartman ran a speedboat into the Beaver dam, what got me is where rather than send aid out to help the stricken people, all the officials cared about was who is to blame - once blame can be determined, then the rescue missions would commence. Oh how true to life this show can be :)

[BearBoy]

PlayUSA have got the series 7 boxset (R1) down for release on the 21st of March. No sign of the R2 ones post series 4 though.

Not everyone gets South Park, it takes a certain type of sense of humour.

[Angry the Clown]

I guess its "Goodbye Children" as Isaac Hayes has quit South Park.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060313/ap_en_tv/people_isaac_hayes;_ylt=AmOP4E2b4tpminW_DqeuQjys0N UE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3YXYwNDRrBHNlYwM3NjI-

Season 10 begins on the 22nd of March in the US.

[JazzFunk]

Not everyone gets South Park, it takes a certain type of sense of humour.You're right. When it first started, I thought it was trendy trash. The first series was pretty weak but then it gradually transformed into the monstrously anarchic beast it is these days. Sad to see that Chef has gone but he's a Scientologist anyway. George Clinton could easily replace him.

[Concept]

"South Park" co-creator Matt Stone responded sharply in an interview with The Associated Press Monday, saying, "This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology... He has no problem — and he's cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians."


Stone told The AP he and co-creator Trey Parker "never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin."

This one isn't going to go away. How long before South Park satirises Haye's hypocritical position within the show?

[Angry the Clown]

This one isn't going to go away. How long before South Park satirises Haye's hypocritical position within the show?

I'm tempted to make a bet that the very first episode of season 10 will go for it.

[JazzFunk]

I'm tempted to make a bet that the very first episode of season 10 will go for it.I hope that the intro to the very first episode of season 10 makes reference to it. And the resultant episodes thereafter!

[cutmymilk]

Isaac Hayes is a scientologist? Quite how he managed to stay so long after that episode amazes me.

Oh dear, looks very bitter. Should make for some awesome TV :D

And just over a week and its back? Oh man! Over the last year Ive watched every episode made (some of teh earlier ones are a bit of a chore to watch again, tbh, but the vast majority are amazing)

[Bleeders]

So it's okay to make fun of everyone else's religion, but Hayes' own?

Posted on the SP site... says it all really.


This has nothing to do with intolerance and bigotry and everything to do with the fact that Isaac Hayes is a Scientologist and that we recently featured Scientology in an episode of 'South Park.' In ten years and over 150 episodes of 'South Park,' Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslims, Mormons and Jews. He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show. To bring the civil rights struggle into this is just a non-sequiter. Of course we will release Isaac from his contract and we wish him well

[jimmbob]

Mad, a scientologist who is of his head!
God riddence to him if he's going to act a tosser about his precious space-man religion. ****s sake, the show has Jesus as a tv presenter doesn't it?!
Can't wait for the fallout episode(s).

[eastyy]

Saw a quote on teletext isaac is quoted as saying
"every religous is sacred we must treat each religion with respect"

I like to think most decent religions people can laugh at them selves

Yeh, Jesus is the presenter of a daytime chat show called 'Jesus and Pals', hes kinda like South Parks answer to Jerry Springer.

For a classic SP episode, check out Jesus Vs Satan, where Satan challenges Jesus to a boxing match which is 'Live on Pay-Per-View' :)

I dunno, some of you guys moan about the earlier episodes, for me they are still brilliant.

[cutmymilk]

They are, yes. But after watching the latest episodes theyre very tame (Cartman is nowhere near advanced enough as a character for example).

[marcus]

I think that they have gotten more political and topical over time and thats the main difference, and early series' were a little more unpredictable and off the wall (for ex, Mecha Striesand, Mexican Staring Frog, Underpants Gnomes etc) but I attribute that to the show 'growing up' in terms of its (im)maturity.

They might be tamer in comparison, but thats not to say episodes from the early seasons were prudish - take for example the cojoined-foetus woman one, still one of the harshest episodes for me (and best).

[BearBoy]

Series 7 is out on R1 next week. Where are people buying it from (if at all)? I've always used PlayUSA without any problems but am thinking my luck with the digipacks in a jiffy bag is sure to run out so wondered if there was anywhere else cheap and reliable that would use a box.

Cheers,

[jimmbob]

Movietyme will ship in a cardboard box, however I wouldn't exactly call them cheap, or fast.

Ive given up waiting for those bastards to release the rest of the sets to go with my UK ones, Im just sticking to my DIVX's instead, at least I can get them reliably :/

[Super Monkey Balls]

I don't care where South Park goes from here, I just need the season 8 DVD. They can't possibly better that. Comedy perfection.

Hell yeah. Series 8 is where I REALLY got back into it.

The town is jolted out of a case of the doldrums when Chef suddenly reappears. While Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are thrilled to have their old friend back, they notice that something about chef seems different. When Chef's strange behavior starts getting him in trouble, the boys pull out all the stops to save him.

The remaining seven all-new episodes will begin in October, coinciding with COMEDY CENTRAL's celebration of the Emmy Award-winning series' 10th season.

"South Park" repeats Wednesdays at 12:00 a.m., Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.; Fridays at 11:30 p.m. and Sundays at 11:00 p.m.

Cool! Chef but mute / different voice?

That had me in stitches, those guys really know how to take the piss :lol:

Just saw the episode Tom Cruise tried to get banned. It's a shame (by far) the funniest episode of series nine didn't get aired. :lol:

Near Awesome-o standards.

I watched it too, thought it was all right. The bits with R. Kelly were the best.

The whole "this is what scientologists really believe" section explaining it was hilarious. :lol:

None of that can actually be true (in terms of what they believe), can it? If it is, then some of the stupidity shown in our race really does baffle me at times.

[Mr Pump]

Sounds like I need to see this badly :)

Check Youtube. Matt and Trey appear to have leaked the episode on to the net since the banning of the re-airing (or at least someone from South Park has), as Xenu.net were given permission from them to host the files.

None of that can actually be true (in terms of what they believe), can it? If it is, the some of the stupidity shown in our race really does baffle me at times.

Not gonna make any friends by saying it, but it isn't that more far fetched than what most people believe in IMO. (Edit: Mr Pump's already said it).

I agree though, the on-screen caption was a great move.

[cutmymilk]

I think it is, but obviously the animation made it look a bit more far fetched. Its still stupid though, even as a cult, sorry, religion.

EDIT

Take a look here

If you go to the official site for the official word... it tries to get you to buy a book. What a farce. At least the bible can be read on the internet / obtained free!

SouthPark is my God :-)

That's the scene. :D

Now go watch the episode. :p

[smallvillex]

Absolutely brilliant....:D

The scientology book is probably a more amusing read though ;)

i saw that episode yesterday after a mate told me about it. absolute class. also i thought all that stuff with the caption was a joke and was just laughing at the crazy stuff parker/stone had conjured up and labelled as scientology beliefs, but then i read the wiki :d

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/38/South_Park_Xenu.jpg

the wiki also details the written statement from parker/stone in response to the banning, in a newspaper:


So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!" They signed it, "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."

The first episode from season 10 is available from the usual places now - called "The Return of Chef" :)

Not seen it yet, looking forward to watching it this evening.

[Bleeders]

Oh yes, can't wait to see it. :D

EDIT - Early word is that it's another classic SP episode, precariously on the line again. :D

[Concept]

Snap. :p

[cutmymilk]

I'll be hurrying bitcomet along later, I think. Can't wait.

[angelx]

Beware radio 1 are revealing the story :( thanks a lot!

I'm not sure I'd go that far. It was decent enough, certainly has some funny moments, but many will probably find it predictable that they'd go the way they did with it I suppose. The strip club DJ from the Lil Crime Stoppers episode makes a comeback, so that made me happy. He always made me laugh.

No, sorry, by far the funniest South Park episode the team has ever produced when you consider the context it's in. I can't believe how they completely destroyed Hayes, Scientology and Chef.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Concept]

Sorry I can't stop laughing over that episode. I haven't bust a gust so much since Awesome-o. How they got Comedy Central to air this (when Tom Cruise got the other episode stopped) I'll never know.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gob smacked.

[cutmymilk]

I just read the biggest spoiler like ever on another forum for tonights last nights ep. Annoyed.

[Concept]

I've never seen wholesale character assassination on that scale in the show before. I'd be surprised if there aren't lawsuits attempted (though it'd be hard because everything was implied).
