Press release for 1709:

Episode 1709 "Titties and Dragons"



NEW YORK, December 2, 2013 - The doors to the mall will finally open this week and only one gaming device will be the winner on an all-new episode of "South Park" titled “Titties and Dragons," premiering Wednesday, December 4 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.

Princess Kenny’s charm has brought more and more support to the PlayStation camp. Cartman and Kyle have not wavered in their loyalty to X-Box. But now, the wait is over. It's time for everyone who has lined up to seize their opportunity for Black Friday sales. it’s going to be a bloodbath and only one side will be left standing.

[Reply #441 on:]

I bet the Sony brigade (Kenny) wins because

1) Cartman and his team probably didn't plan on how they're going to PAY for the systems, leaving them to be defeated.

2) Cartman's Team will be too late because they didn't even choose a strategy on how they're going to be the first ones in yet, because of the desperate amount of time being distracted by Kenny's team.

3) Neither teams are going to win, but one member from one of the teams will have been able to buy a system. And the system will most likely be a PS4.

Could be wrong, but just my prediction of what'll happen, since South Park has always done this kinda shit.

[Reply #442 on:]

I could see that happening.

Preview for the episode, which has no new footage in it at all:



My bet is that it'll be a lame, "nobody won" type ending where we get a speech from Stan and/or Kyle about the pros and cons of both consoles, plus a speech from Randy about the negatives of Black Friday.

Either that or it is revealed that PC is the true winner; master race and all that.

[Reply #444 on:]

Cartman is going to lose (he always does) and I see Kenny winning.

[Reply #445 on:]

A third team of Nintendo supporters will win.

I liked the self-promotion of The Stick of Truth at the end, and there were some great moments throughout the episode. Not too happy about Xbox One winning the war, though. And yay, we got this season's Kenny death!

Anyone else notice how in the recap they included the Canadian Board of Health Guy from Taming Strange? Found that so random and funny.

[Reply #448 on:]

Well, I liked this episode. Definitely wasn't as strong as the first one of the trilogy, but beats the second one.

Also, I really found the Anime segments with Kenny stupid. Not in the good way, either. Sorry, I'm just not used to South Park parodying stuff like that. Felt like filler completely. I'll give it praise for having a typical South Park ending though.

I agree as it wasn't very funny as a parody and felt too separate with the epic plot.

Overall it was great, especially betrayals in the end. I was thinking if the idea was that 'Microsoft always wins', but probably it was just funnier to let Cartman win without him enjoying it. Whole trilogy was very good.

[Reply #450 on:]

So good in fact, I hold it as my favorite SP trilogy. I mean I never liked the Imagination Land ones. They fell desperately flat for me, with a few good jokes. And the Coon was actually pretty good. But I like this far more than the other 2.

[Reply #451 on:]

Was there a single joke in that episode that wasn't already in one of the previous 2 episodes?

I enjoyed it, but it felt very much like a functional ending to the trilogy rather than one with twists and surprises and, you know... unexpected hilarity.

Very good and the trilogy as a whole was very good, but I wasn't absolutely blown away by it. It was certainly enough to let season 17 shit all over 16, though.

[Reply #452 on:]

I was a little disappointed with the last part, purely because it didn't really hold any surprises and repeated a lot of what we've already seen. I still very much enjoyed the trilogy as a whole, but I dunno, I was really hoping for some weird left turn. Inserting real-life Black Friday footage into the mall scenes felt like a cop-out after three damn weeks of having the epic-ness of those scenes built up for us, though I enjoyed the fall-out. The ending would've been a lot better without Butters' tagline, too.

[Reply #453 on:]

I liked Butters' line at the end since it made fun of the fact that the game release has been delayed so many times, tying it back to the Game of Thrones jokes.

[Reply #454 on:]

I Find South Park Cool.

[Reply #455 on:]

I Find South Park Cool.

Ah, don't we all? It's better than cheesy biscuits. Anyway, is there anything about it you really like specifically, or maybe any episodes you're really into?

[Reply #456 on:]

Well, I finally found time to watch the new episode this morning. I really liked it. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the anime thing with Kenny, but otherwise, it was a very good episode with great jokes and a great storyline. I quite enjoyed the Peanuts parody at the end.

8.5/10

This trilogy is by far the best thing we've gotten from Season 17 so far. The trilogy gets an 8.5/10 from me.

Have you even seen Good Times with Weapons?

Did anybody else notice that Butter's legs are evened out in the beginning? That was extremely weird, since this is South Park and all.....

I noticed that too, how odd.

*bump*

A longer preview, Kanye/Gay Fish is back!

[Reply #463 on:]

That "she's not a hobbit" joke got old even before the first time it was over. Other than that, it was good and the anticlimax ending was interesting.

[Reply #464 on:]

I guess I'm used to them doing smaller/slightly lazier finales after much bigger two or three parters

[Reply #465 on:]

I liked it. It was probably my 4th favourite of the season after the Black Friday trilogy and one of the only 4 episodes of the season that I'd say was great.

Agree with all of this, though perhaps "anticlimax" isn't the best word to describe the ending. It was definitely ballsy, though. Really great way for season 17 to go on.

[Reply #467 on:]

This season seems to bring back a lot of older characters like Officer Barbarady, Tweek, and Gay Fish Kanye West.  I like it.  

This episode was pretty good, I liked it more than Ginger Cow, which everyone else seems to love.

South Park Game Hilariously Censored In Australia

Also, the game seems very interesting, I'll probably play it.

[Reply #469 on:]

So, has anyone got Stick of Truth yet? I've heard alot of great things about it, supposed to feel like you're actually playing a long episode of the show with Paper Mario esque gameplay. Debating right now whether to get the Xbox or PC version.

[Reply #470 on:]

Definitely go with the PC version. I keep on hearing complaints about lagging and crashing on the Xbox and PS3 versions. I have the PC version, and haven't gotten a single problem with it yet.

Although if you're patient, there's sure to be an update that'll fix the issues coming along any week now.

[Reply #471 on:]

Only complaint I have with the game is the framerate, it can be a bit laggy at times, even more so when the game is trying to autosave (I'm playing on PS3).

My second complaint, and this isn't the game's fault, is that I have come across 5 or 6 scenes so far that have been censored in Europe. It's distracting and annoying, but there's nothing we can do.

Other than that, the game is extremely fun, the amount of continuity nods and references to episodes from season 1 up to 17 is mind-blowing. Great gameplay, too. And the storyline is fun so far also.

Oh yeah, I've played the game now and I forgot to talk about it. Fantastic, fantastic experience that truly pushes the envelope in terms of games as stories that can rival cinema. Surprisingly in-depth gameplay, but obviously it lives and dies on its scripts, jokes and numerous references to the show.

My only real complaint is the total lack of anything to do after completing the game. It would have been nice if you still had random encounters and the ability to dick around to an extent - much like you do on games like Fallout. Here's hoping that they put out some DLC or a sequel.

[Reply #475 on:]

Still haven't played that damn game yet, but I must say, the cover art for season 17 looks fantastic.

[Reply #476 on:]

For anyone that didn't know, season 18 starts on Wednesday the 24th September.

Totally agreed. Possibly the top franchise-licensed video game I've ever played. You don't have to look close to see that they put alot of time and effort into the game to make it play like an episode of the show, and make it a celebration of the entire series as a whole. I loved all of the random call-back items that you pick up along the way. Fantastic.

[Reply #478 on:]

Haven't played it since I'm not a huge gamer, but it's been getting widely universal praise, a lot more so than the show has lately

[Reply #479 on:]

To be honest, I probably laughed harder at the game then I have at a episode in a long time...

Aside from the Black Friday Trilogy, of course. That was brilliant.
