Tai_Zidek Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I actually thought naggers first, thinking that it was going to be said, and niggers would be the answer. Quote
Emanon Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 That was easily one of the best episodes I've seen in a long time. Quote
sephfire Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 It's an incredible feat keeping a show fresh after ten seasons. I'm not joking when I say Matt and Trey are two of my heroes. Quote
Decoy Octopus Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 It's an incredible feat keeping a show fresh after ten seasons. I'm not joking when I say Matt and Trey are two of my heroes. I second that. If you had told me I would still be watching South Park in 2007 some nine years ago, I would have thought it impossible. It didn't seem like the show could have a long shelf life. But Matt and Trey have managed to change the show with the times and kept it current, relevant, clever, and entertaining. The Simpsons, by comparison, were a pale shadow of their former self by seasons 10 and 11. Quote
Kiyosuki Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 What I think gives this show its incredible longevity is how fast and easilly Matt and Trey can get an episode out there right on the heels of when a topic is still very hot, because SP episodes are relatively easy to make in comparison to other animation. Its also of course, because they're so tongue in cheek with so many of the topics they openly throw out there. When it comes to animated comedic satire I'll always love the Simpsons best, but no one can touch South Park when it comes to satire on current events. Not even close. Its gotten it into its own kind of art. You could argue yeah, that its mostly shock value. You can't argue against that too much, but just because it is shock value doesn't mean its any less relevant depending on the topic. There was a story on CNN about this past episode, glad to see some people understand not to take the context of the episode by surface value alone. Quote
chrono26 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 that episode was an istant classic. i didnt even know you could say that word like that on tv untill i saw chappell's show. so i knew it was only a matter of time before south park made some kinda episode using it. and, as expected, its hilarious and somehow educational and moving all at once.

Decoy Octopus Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Anyone remember when Mr. Garrison used the word 'nigger' at the end of the Season 05 episode, Here Comes The Neighborhood? Mind you, in a great use of comedic timing, the episode ended mid-word... but it was there nonetheless. Quote
The Orichalcon Posted March 10, 2007 Author Posted March 10, 2007 Anyone remember when Mr. Garrison used the word 'nigger' at the end of the Season 05 episode, Here Comes The Neighborhood?Mind you, in a great use of comedic timing, the episode ended mid-word... but it was there nonetheless. "At least we got rid of all them damn ni-" *Credits* That episode was just as great. Quote

That is one of my favorite moments in the series. That, and in the same episode: "T...for...time to leave?" when looking at the burning cross on the lawn. Quote
Decoy Octopus Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Synopsis for Wednesday, March 14th's episode: 1102 - Cartman Sucks Butters has to go to a special camp where they “pray the gay away”. Doesn't really tell us a whole lot, does it? Quote
OptimusShr Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Pray the gay away? Oh God, this is referring to the crazy bastards that shout "God hates fags!" etc. Oh boy this is going to piss someone off. Not me though I hate those bastards. Quote
parasoul Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 So, about tonight's episode... When Butters' dad came through the door while Cartman had his dick in his mouth it was the hardest I have ever laughed at a TV show. Quote
Decoy Octopus Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 I thought Cartman Sucks was an all right episode. There weren't any glaring problems. I just found that I wasn't laughing so much... I was smirking at jokes... but not laughing... Quote
OptimusShr Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 The ending had me in tears. And Butters speech had me shouthing "Amen brotha!" at my TV. Quote
Decoy Octopus Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Synopsis for Wednesday's Episode: 1103 - Lice Capades Airdate: 2007-03-21 An infestation of head lice plagues South Park Elementary. When Garrison refuses to name names, Cartman finds a way to detect who has lice so they can make fun of the unfortunate kid. Quote
Decoy Octopus Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Thoughts on the episode? I loved the Lice World subplot. I always enjoy it when Matt & Trey take an episode into a bizarre realm of satire/farce. Quote
vega12 Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I love the variety present within the South Park series sometimes. This was one of those episodes where I didn't really laugh out loud at all, but was grinning the whole time. I really enjoyed it a bunch! Quote
parasoul Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I thought tonight's episode was good, but not great. I enjoyed it all the way thru tho. The Thing-style blood testing nearly had me in tears though. So stupid... Quote
Kiyosuki Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 It was one of the better animated SP episodes I've seen in a while, but the episode itself as a story was just ok. Quote
Blake Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 I couldn't stop laughing whenever the main lice character said "Babeh." Quote
Raenok Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I couldn't stop laughing whenever the main lice character said "Babeh." I liked that red-haired girl louse that came with him, though. Stupid Vice President being greedy... At least he got his just desserts, though. And yes, I too laughed at the end. Quote
chrono26 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 the main lice guy's voice was too annoying, but kinda funny. cartman was great in this one though. "there's a way to find out who had sick-ass head cooties. and i'm gonna find it" lol. not a bad episode at all. Quote
The Orichalcon Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 The episode was all right. But Travis had a REALLY annoying voice. Quote
ILLiterate Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Great episode, the thing referrence was fantastic, and I loved the way Travis talked Quote
