SetzerGabbiani Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I agree... to me this season so far is kind of a letdown. I think they should take a hiatus or something because it seems like they are taking too many things from real world events. For example, that whole Canada on strike/ Youtube episode had me bored, and now they did something interesting with the world with almost no internet, but they kind of dropped the ball in regards to the gimmicks (PORN GAGS LOL =/)and the ending (OHYEAHTHEINTERWEBZNETISAHOOGROUTERTHATGOTAWARNINGSHOTANDJUST NEEDEDTOBERESETHOWSIMPLEROFL) Yeah imma go watch the Brown Note episode.

sephfire Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'm not too worried about a small lull. I'll still take a mediocre South Park episode over the best episode of most any other show on TV right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I liked it personally. People are so damn dependent on the internet (me included... especially me actually) going back just feels ancient, quite literally. As South Park seasons go, it's the usual. The few incredibly great episodes, some in between types, some cute message episodes like the last Internet one. Also, it wasn't too long ago since their epic Nintendo Wii saga. I hope they do something like that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orichalcon Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 I've enjoyed this season so far. The last two episodes were enjoyable and caused some good laughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calpis Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 So is anyone excited for the new episode tonight? The only thing I can find on it is this: Season 1208: The China Probrem "Cartman must confront the Chinese alone while the American people are haunted by the memory of recent tragic events..." Hopefully they'll pick up the pieces after the mediocre-ness of the most recent episodes. I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't get into them.

Unfortunately you can add this one to the mediocrity list. I didn't laugh once at all during this episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiwalker Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I think the season opener was too offensive "oH BLAHAB SouTH park mayne! a'course its gonna be OFFnESVIS@E!!!" No...the rape thing was a little too risque. It was awkward to even be watching it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-n-j-i-n Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Three full blown rape scenes. Even for the South Park guys, this was a bit much. I laughed at simply how ridiculous TV has come to be for a cartoon to show rape. THREE TIMES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calpis Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah, I pretty much only laughed at the second rape scene with the pinball machine. It was a direct rip from a movie with Jodie Foster (I think) where she got raped in a bar on the pinball machine that I saw on Lifetime or Oxygen or something like that when I stayed home from work, sick. I'd be willing to bet the other rape scenes were rips from other movies, but I don't know for sure. I was actually waiting for the fourth rape scene to be the one from Pulp Fiction, but it never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XZero Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The rape scenes were all from movies, though I don't remember which ones specifically. I was actually very disappointed when they revealed that the rape victim that the trailer alluded to was Indy and not a South Park character. They already did an episode about George Lucas ruining movies (Season 6- Free Hat), and while the joke was sort of funny about Indiana Jones being raped, it was more suited to a one-shot thing rather than a running gag, or worse, the whole subplot being based on it. The first act was brilliant in my opinion, but the second and third were the same jokes as the first. Act 1 had Cartman waging war on the Chinese to prevent them from attacking us, which basically continued through Acts 2 and 3. It also had the Indy rape reference and the Butters shooting the guy in the d*ck, both of which were really funny the first time, and really abused the second and third times. I actually thought they'd have an Emmy-quality episode last night. I was sure Butters would be raped by a Chinese person and Cartman would use that as an excuse for waging war on an entire race. The emotional payoff of the boys leaving Butters behind would have been worthwhile, and Cartman could have been used in much more creative ways (kind of like his Season 8 Hitler sequence in "Passion of the Jew"). I give last night's episode a 6/10. It was really funny for the first ten minutes, but the jokes being repeated didn't work out. As an aside, I didn't see Indiana Jones 4. Was it actually that bad?

XZero Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 So after redeeming themselves last week with what proved to be a really enjoyable episode, this week's was the epitome of WTF. Honestly, I may have laughed once (when Craig told the boys that everyone at school thinks that they're a-holes). What's with the Peruvian Flute Band thing, why did they feel the need to reference yet ANOTHER movie (Cloverfield this week), and why did this otherwise pointless episode need to be *SPOILER* a 2-parter *END SPOILER*? It didn't make sense, and it wasn't very funny. I laughed more during House this week than I did South Park; there's something wrong with that.

sephfire Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Yeah, kind of a dud episode, but I don't live in an area that would attact Peruvian street bands. Maybe other parts of the country are more familiar with them and would find it funnier. Seems like an odd story to stretch out over two episodes, but maybe part two will serve up the funny.

H. Guderian Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Being an owner and lover of guinea pigs, that angle got me really good. I was laughing hysterically more because I find those little buggers adorable. Having them destroy cities was just fun for me. The rest of the episode, like the season, wasn't too compelling.

Tables Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well, the idea struck me as hilarious, since I bought one of those 'Peruvian Flute Band' CD's when they were playing at the mall once. The actual rest of the episode though wasn't terribly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calpis Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Man, I laughed hard at this episode. I hated Cloverfield and it's vomit-inducing camera and dumb hamster looking monster. Looking forward to next week now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I got the opposite reaction. I loved Cloverfield (way too bashed for the way it's shot IMO) and I loved the parody too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XZero Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 ***Warning: Lots of Spoilers; go to www.southparkstudios.com to watch before reading*** So last night's episode was really impressive on a couple of levels. The episode itself was ultimately a movie parody (more precisely a style parody) of things like Oceans 11, but it was pulled off pretty well. I have to assume that they figured Obama would win, though I don't doubt that they've been working on this episode long enough that a McCain victory would have resulted in basically the same episode with some things reversed. I look forward to the Season 12 DVD set to see if in fact there was an alternate episode largely ready to air last night. The big thing about the episode for me was that it felt *right*. I was a McCain supporter, and several of my friends were Obama supporters. It was interesting to see how they really showed the two extremes: the excessive and largely groundless fear that Obama's victory means the end of the world on one side, and the excessive stupidity in partying about an inarticulable "change" that is coming on the other. I give Matt and Trey a lot of credit for this one. South Park last night was really a nice episode because it pulled the sides together after the divisiveness of the campaign. While this episode didn't feature the boys very prominently (though Cartman having stolen all of the televisions from the people partying in the streets was golden), I think it worked pretty well. It probably won't be one of those timeless episodes (the closest we've gotten to that recently was probably the Breast Cancer show), but its effectiveness as a timely commentary was really strong in my opinion. What did you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calpis Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I agree with you on this one. It was a great episode, and I loved how they imitated the Ocean's movies' style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
