If you don't have a rose get the FUDGE OUT of the South Park Thread

It was cool to see a more competent/human side of Randy. The console feud was pretty good. I haven't seen game of thrones, so the comments fell flat and I thought the Elmo jokes were really dumb considering the controversy was over a year ago. Hopefully the next part is a little better

[Reply #401 on:]

It was pretty good and epic while no too crazy plot twists (which might be in part 2, though). I'm waiting to see what's going to happen with Xbox One vs. PS4 eventually.

I watched the episode last night while doing my Art Project.

I wasn't paying full attention, but holy shit it was great. Laughed out loud quite a bit, and had a great story as well. Definitely the best one of the season by a mile. South Park's uphill swing is really starting to surprise me. I thought the series was going to turn into total garbage after that premiere episode, and Season 16. But damn it, I was wrong. I really liked "Ginger Cow", it felt like a Season 1-3 kind of episode, which is always welcome to me. And sure as hell beats anything else the past season had to offer until this episode. I hope they don't fall now. I truly think they're beginning to get back into the groove of things. Slowly, but I definitely see the progress coming along now.

Fucking amazing episode, actually almost cheered when it was revealed Kenny was really on the side of the PS4! My favourite character sides with my favourite console!

[Reply #404 on:]

I...actually really liked the episode. I can't believe I just said that, considering that I've been pretty critical of Season 17 thus far.

It had a good plot and a good subplot, and the jokes were funny too. This is probably my favorite Season 17 episode so far.

8.5/10

[Reply #405 on:]

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm excited seeing all the positive feedback.

[Reply #406 on:]

Easily the best episode since season 15, if not 14.

I haven't seen Game of Thrones, but I still got almost all of the Game of Thrones jokes as far as I can tell. Nothing seemed lost on me.

It was a good, solid storyline that worked in every way that South Park does at its best and I look forwards to part 2.

I think it's safe to say South Park is back in the groove again.

I don't know about that. It's one episode and, whilst I expect part 2 to be every bit as good, this is clearly one of the episodes that they've been planning for months and months. It's always very clear when they put a lot of extra time and care into an episode, these days.

Preview:

So I just watched it and I agree that it is a really great episode, and that it's the best of season 17 so far. I really enjoyed the Game of Thrones jokes, Butters, and the Tickle-Me-Elmo gag, even though outdated. I always love Randy, and the writing for his character delivered, as usual. I hope to see more episodes like this.

[Reply #410 on:]

If you liked last weeks episode then you will love "A Song of Ass and Fire".  To many Game of Thrones jokes that were hilarious to mention now.

[Reply #411 on:]

Pretty good episode, not as strong as part 1, but still managed to keep the same energy and is obviously leading to something really great in part 3. Really loved the wiener choir, the zombie like crowd, and Kenny finally becoming an anime princess. There was some stuff that felt exactly the same as part 1 (the wiener jokes were slightly overdone here), but not as overly identical in the jokes and lines like some of the other part 2 episodes, and it helped to give it a Game of Thrones feel to it. Overall, an interesting middle that will hopefully lead to an epic 3rd act to end this trilogy on.

A 4/5. (I'm guessing there won't be a new episode next week).

[Reply #412 on:]

Don't be surprised if there is a new one next week.  Remember Matt and Trey basically had an extra week to make these last few episodes.

[Reply #413 on:]

Well next Wednesday is the day before Thanksgiving, and CC usually tries to avoid airing new shows next to holidays, plus the episode hinted at it with Black Friday being moved an extra week, probably for that exact reason, and hopefully for some extra time on the giant battle in part 3.

[Reply #414 on:]

I caught all that.  Lets see what happens.

According to IMDB you are correct Boxy.  The next episode is scheduled to air on the 4th of Dec.

[Reply #415 on:]

Not much happened in it, but it was still great, even though I'm not familiar with Game of Thrones (sounds like a good series ). Well, I wasn't expecting part 3, but it works very well with the plot slowly building up.

[Reply #416 on:]

If you were familiar with a Game of Thrones QNF you would have loved the last 2 episodes.  The Stick of Truth had the exact same ending that season one of a Game of Thrones had and the Song of Ass and Fire had the exact same ending of season 2 of a Game of Thrones.

Plus in the latest episode there were tons of jokes related to the books and show.  For example when JRR Martin said that 2 pizzas were coming and then said 5 is based of GRR taking a long time of writing new books and finishing the story.  The 1st book came out about 20 years ago.

[Reply #417 on:]

With Black Friday being pushed to the 6th December within the show, will this become a 4-parter?

[Reply #418 on:]

Probably not, because there's no episode next week.

[Reply #419 on:]

I'm truly loving these episodes. I expect part 3 to be just as good. :)P

[Reply #420 on:]

really enjoyed the episode, although they kind of overdid the weiner jokes

[Reply #421 on:]

I think the weiner jokes were probably more tolerable for us who've seen/read Game Of Thrones since most of them had references connected to them, which made it funnier. I can see how those with no concept of the Game of Thrones series would have seen it as repetitive without being able to get the references though.

[Reply #422 on:]

I really enjoyed that one, but it largely felt like filler.

Oh well, looking forwards to part 3.

[Reply #423 on:]

I actually kind of agree with Cyber-T on this one. Although it wasn't as strong as the first one, it was still pretty good. I kept asking myself when the story was going to advance. It did a little bit, but it completely felt like filler, especially with the GOT weiner jokes, and the Anime Princess Kenny thing (Which I found hilarious).

But it was good, I'll probably give it a 8/10 for now

[Reply #424 on:]

All of South Park's three part episodes have had filler-heavy second installments. Matt and Trey don't do this very often, so they haven't quite worked out exactly how to keep all the balls in the air while still moving the plot forward. It was still fucking hilarious though, and I'm really, really looking forward to part three.

Also, did anyone else absolutely lose their shit at the Princess Kenny bit, or was it just me?

[Reply #425 on:]

Probably not, because there's no episode next week.

How come?

[Reply #426 on:]

Thanksgiving?

[Reply #427 on:]

Thanksgiving?

Thanksgivannukah? Anyway, I don't see why they wouldn't air the episode just because it's Thanksgivannukah.

"Mysterion Rises" and "Imaginationland Episode II" were my favourite episodes of their respective trilogies, though.

[Reply #429 on:]

Pretty much every tv show is taking a break that week. I can't imagine it'd be good for ratings (not to mention the whole "giving the South Park employees some time off around the holidays" thing).

Remember Matt and Trey basically had an extra week to make these last few episodes.

Actually, they were always scheduled to take two breaks during the course of this season (the second one being Thanksgiving), but the power outage only changed which week they took their first one on. The only episodes they really had an extra week to work on were Goth Kids 3 and Taming Strange.

"Mysterion Rises" and "Imaginationland Episode II" were my favourite episodes of their respective trilogies, though.

You're the first person I know who's said that. I love every moment of both of those trilogies, but there's no doubt that the second installment of each was the most filler-heavy.

[Reply #430 on:]

I enjoyed Part 2 just as much as Part 1, if not a little more. Once again, the jokes were funny (although the weiner jokes did get old after a while), and the plot was good.

8.5/10

[Reply #431 on:]

Just watched part two, and I must say I enjoyed the raunchy jokes, mainly regarding wieners, Game of Thrones, and Princess Kenny.

8.7/10

[Reply #432 on:]

It's very surprising (at least in the first viewing it was) to see how cruel Cartman suddenly is in Scott Tenorman Must Die. The dark humor really comes strongly and suddenly in the very end. I like the episode much.

Another notice: looks like Cartman and Kyle didn't hate each other so much first and Cartman mostly mocked Kenny then (I think).

[Reply #433 on:]

The Cartman/Kyle hatred took off in early season 7.

Scott Tenorman is most certainly a huge turning point for Cartman's character. He goes from ignorant asshole to evil mastermind.... I also love that episode's plot in general. It's very Shakespearean.

I haven't seen it, but I've heard lots about it. I heard that Cartman puts Tenorman's parents in chili and makes him eat it?

[Reply #435 on:]

Pretty much. It's definitely one of the show's most significant/notable episodes, so you should try to see it if possible (despite already having ruined the super-fucked-up ending for yourself ).

[Reply #436 on:]

I just watched it on youtube and....wow. Um....can I just? Wow. Even though I knew the ending, I didn't realize Eric sent them to their death and it was very dark. I almost felt guilty laughing. I feel guilty because I kind of...I kind of liked that episode. It was really fucked up and really insane and really dark, but I don't even...I'm like kind of speechless right now. Kind of speechless.

[Reply #437 on:]

So, is that supposed to be Fry or is it coincidence?

[Reply #438 on:]

^ Wow! Nice find, QNF!

[Reply #439 on:]

Or it could be a James Dean reference, who Fry was modeled after.
