Taisetsuna mono: Protect My Balls! (New South Park Thread)

[Reply #720 on:]

Better than last week's episode.  I could see Ike has better character development in this episode, besides being the baby who keeps saying, "I pooped my pants".   Hilarious episode!  I liked the Dog the Bounty Hunter parody, and Cartman's theme song.  The way Trey and Matt rip on current events is just brilliant!  I give this episode 5/5.

By the way, Isn't this the last contracted series with Comedy Central?

What is going to happens afterwards? They calling it a day and moving to greener pastures?

[Reply #722 on:]

They actually did expand the contract to 12 seasons, so the show will at least be around until 2008/2009, more or less the time Futurama comes back

Ah. Thanks for the snappy answer. Have a Nurdysnack.

From tomorrow's Comedy Central Press Release:
The Residents of Hell rise up on All Hallows Eve in an all-new episode of "South Park" on Wednesday, October 25 at 10:00 P.M. on Comedy Central

Satan is throwing the biggest Halloween costume party ever in an all-new "South Park" entitled, "Hell on Earth 2006," premiering Wednesday, October 25 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central. And no one will be admitted without a wristband.

Satan is busy checking the R.S.V.P. list and deciding what costume to wear to the big event. Every detail must be perfect for the prince of darkness. But even Satan can’t foresee everything. A prominent religious organization, an ex-lover and the antics of the most notorious serial killers of all time threaten Satan’s fun.

Hmmm... quite a surprise, given that we haven't had a Halloween-themed episode since Season 3, and Satan hasn't really had a central role in an episode since Season 4. I also wonder how this'll turn out given Satan's new look from Best Friends Forever. Hopefully, the "ex-lover" thing won't be played the same way it was in Do the Handicapped Go to Hell and Probably, though I'll admit, I am looking forward to seeing Saddam again if is is indeed him. Could be Chris or Kevin though, or maybe even someone else. And lastly, I hope the boys make an appearance - this'd be the second episode this season without them, and  that's just a little too weird for my liking. Looking forward to it, but still pretty conflicted at the moment.

[Reply #726 on:]

I'm definitely looking for ward for this one, it's been way too long for a Halloween episode of SP

[Reply #727 on:]

Hell on Earth 2006

Wow... that was... strange. I don't even know where to begin. Definitely one of the more out-there storylines they've done (possibly even more than A Million Little Fibers), but what the hell, it was a funny idea and they made it work for the most part. And very appropriate for their 150th episode, too.

Firstly, it was great to see the show have not one but TWO sub-plots among the main storyline with Satan - AND have them all connected. Satan acting like a spoiled teenager was hilarious, the jokes about how fixated he was on such insignificant things while trying to remain evil never got old (though Satan's character certainly has changed, and not just physically, either).

The Biggie Smalls sub-plot with Butters was cute, and had quite a few funny moments, as did the Three Murderers thing, which they ended just as it was starting to get dull, so good move there. And the Steve Irwin joke wasn't too bad (though having him actually have the stingray still in his chest seemed a bit too far) - definitely bound to offend some people, though.

Overall, a really silly episode... The second one we've had this season, too, but this one was actually funny and enjoyable. I don't mind things like this providing they're occassional novelties and are done right, and it definitely worked here.

8/10

I also thought it was a good episode, I like how Satan was back to being a goofy moron, I didn't like in "Best Friends Forever" he was all smart and evil, I also thought the 3 murderers was pretty funny

[Reply #729 on:]

I liked it. Randy Marsh is gold as awalys. I like how they included the boys even though it would have been easy enough not to use them.

My favourite joke was Hitler as the "Can you hear me now?" guy.

yeah that was great. I hope they continue with that story lol

Yesss, My Super Serial Sweet Sixteen parody!
I despise that show with a Sith-like passion.

Let's watch, shall we?

Edit: YES!! Brilliant, thank you Matt and Trey! 

[Reply #732 on:]

Man that episode was just awful. I expected a lot more from this one. The only thing that made me laugh was Biggie Smalls. 1/5 just awful.

I have to agree with you on that. Last weeks show was pretty weak too. Three Stooges parodies have been done to death.

[Reply #736 on:]

I enjoyed it, just for the sheer wrongness of the Three Murders.  Sure, Stooges parodies have been done to death, but have any others had that much gore?

I didn't really like Satan in this episode, though.  Sure, he learned his lesson at the end, and I get the parody now, but...is it wrong to say Satan is one of my favorite characters, and I just felt bad for what the script did to him?

Man, I feel evil now.

Other characters, like Butters and Randy, were surprisingly well-used for a minor-character-centric episode.  I also liked the priests.

"But oi am the Crocodile Hunter!"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't know.  But in that case, no costume.  Bye!"

3/5

[Reply #737 on:]

Great episode!  The subplot about summoning Biggie Smalls went a little overboard, though.  I liked how Bundy, Gacy, and Dohmer acted like The Three Stooges, Hitler as the 'Can You Hear Me Now" guy, and the priests were cool, too!  Though, it surprised me when Steve Irwin was there, it's been weeks since he died. 

It was funny how Satan started acting like a spoiled teenager.  Best Halloween episode ever!  I give it 4/5.

From tomorrow's Comedy Central Press Release:
Cartman's latest obsession is literally killing him in an all-new episode of "South Park" on Wednesday, November 1 at 10:00 P.M. on Comedy Central

Cartman’s plan to propel himself into the future goes horribly wrong in an all-new “South Park” entitled, “Go God Go,” premiering Wednesday, November 1 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central. South Park Elementary faces strong opposition to the topic of evolution being taught to the 4th graders. The most vocal protests are from Ms. Garrison who has to teach it. Eric Cartman can’t be bothered with what’s going on in class. He’s busy manipulating his own personal time-line to align with the precise release date of the newest, hottest game.

South Park did attempted time travel in Season 4, and The Simpsons has already covered the subjects of evolution vs creationism and videogame obsession (same with South Park - multiple times - on the latter). Let's hope they find some new angles on them.

[Reply #739 on:]

Nobody mentioned my favorite gag from the whole episode...

"If you're dressed like the Crow, you're not getting into the party!"

[Reply #740 on:]

I enjoyed the episode, but it wasn't up to the level of the first three which were quite good.  The serial killer bit with lots of random murder had me laughing.  It probably would have been better if I knew what they were parodying from the beginning.  A buddy of mine had to fill me in about part way through.  Still, I don't feel bad that I've never seen that show on MTV.  It sounds like you could only get dumber by watching it.

[Reply #741 on:]

great episode!  Even though I'm scarred for life after seeing Ms. Garrison's breasts on live television I still think this was one of the best episodes of the season.  Sea otters with laser guns are taking over the world.  How awesome is that?

"You don't believe in giant flying spaghetti monsters, do you?"

[Reply #742 on:]

There was a pretty strong A story in my opinion.
The whole Ms. Garrison story with evolution was pretty lame. His breasts make me want to vomit.
I liked the sorta futurama reference when he gets to the future, and they tell him his friends, family are all dead.
Overall 3.4/5

[Reply #743 on:]

OMSWTFBBQWXBZ!

I think I might freeze myself until next week. I actually hope these cliffhangers become a habit, because Matt and Trey seem to be getting good at them.

[Reply #744 on:]

I liked Garrison's speach about the fish-squirrel having butt sex with a monkey

[Reply #745 on:]

Ok the episode was ok at the beggining but then it got ridiculously farfetched and stupid to a point where I don't give a shit about part 2. Cartoon Wars had an interesting and entertaining cliffhanger this was just incredibly moronic and could've been written by a twelve year old.

2.5/5

[Reply #746 on:]

Duh Spy, that's the point!   

Firstly, oh my god. I am LOVING the direction they're taking South Park in now. After an average 9th season and a weak first half this season, they are back in full swing, and it's brilliant! A bit of a strange move for a show that only had 2 two-parters in its first 9 years to suddenly do two of them in one season - but then again, they're getting so good at them, I don't care. Just look at how good Cartoon Wars was.

Anyway, I found this episode really good (despite the strange title - Part II??? Though I'm sure that'll be explained next week). I'm surprised at some of the bad reviews it's gotten... Granted, the plot was kinda ridiculous, but, god, it's South Park! At this point, Cartman's storyline really could go either way, but I definitely loved the sea otter twist.

Another great plus was seeing Professor Chaos and General Disarray again. Hah, they've gotten even MORE pathetic! Mrs. Garrison certainly stole the show in this episode, though. I could not stop laughing at the scene where she was throwing her feces - PRICELESS. Same goes for the speech on evolution, too. Glad to see the pure craziness of the character's still there after the sex change (if anything, it's gotten even more intense). Though please, let's not expose her breasts on this show EVER again. *shudders*

Overall, a good episode with a lot of laughs and an interesting storyline. As an atheist myself, I'd been wondering when our turn to be mocked relentlessly on the show would come around, and I was NOT disappointed. It could go anywhere from here, let's hope the second part is up to the same quality as the rest of this run has been.   

8.5/10

Heheh, crazy cryogenic Cartman fanboyism, cyber-soldier otters, Garrison buttsecks, Flying Spaghetti Monster:
Awesome. 

[Reply #748 on:]

Hilarious episode.  The Buck Rogers bit was enough to get this one a good grade from me.  The rest of it was pretty good, too.

[Reply #749 on:]

That episode was crazy, the scene with the "monkey hole sex" had me rollin'.  I liked the futuristic head exploding darts too.

[Reply #750 on:]

Things I approve of:

Professor Chaos and General Disarray
"New New Hampshire"
Sea Otters!
Flying Spaghetti Monster
Poop-flinging
Those head-exploder guns

Things I do not approve of:

Mrs. Garrison's boobs.  Never, ever again.
Lack of Demolition Man references

It will probably shit australians and be cut out of the episode. The episodes could even possibly be cut just like when they cut Bloody Mary and never showed it. I'm glad I download my episodes.

From tomorrow's Comedy Central Press Release:
Cartman's crank calling himself from the future in an all-new episode of "South Park" on Wednesday, November 8 at 10:00 P.M. on Comedy Central


Cartman's stuck in a future where otters ride ostriches in an all-new "South Park" entitled, "Go God Go XII" premiering Wednesday, November 8 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central.
Last week Eric Cartman froze himself in an attempt to make his three-week wait for a hot, new, gaming device pass quickly. A freak accident landed him over 500 years in the future and now he's stuck there. The future is a tumultuous place with warring factions, angry sea otters and no Nintendo. Will Cartman find a way back to his own time?

[Reply #753 on:]

Funny episode, I really enjoyed Cartman's time travel phone

[Reply #754 on:]

This episode was alright, though I personally preferred Part 1. My main issue is that it fully focussed on the storyline with Cartman in the future - centering on a storyline that wasn't completely established, and never really became that engaging. The otters had completely lost their impact since last week, too. An interesting depiction of the future, but it was just like "Yeah... And...?"

Overall, an average episode. Some spectacular visuals at times, but not a lot of laughs, and it just seemed to drag on. However, the final joke in the episode WAS hilarious. Cartman never learns. 

7/10

By the way, the otters were right - A.A.A. IS the best.

"C'mon , let's fuck to celebrate!"

Thanks.

[Reply #758 on:]

While you're at it, could you get me a picture of the Sea Otter leader?

I enjoyed the episode, although like Beamer I'd have liked to see the "present" storyline continue to run concurrently.

[Reply #759 on:]

The best is when Cartman realizes how much of an asshole he is. Well, I don't think he really noticed, but it was hillarious hearing him say "What an asshole!" to him self.
