I am socialising, artard: The South Park thread

[Reply #320 on:]

Hehe, that deleted ending was great, but I'm glad they took it out...that episode could not have ended any better than the way it did (with the awesome call back to the end of Pink Eye).
I loved how the kid took Cartman's pickle at the end of the deleted scene though...hehehe.

South Park Original Voices -What Would Brian Boitano Do?

It's brillaint and it's like how the boys sound like when they become adults. I wonder what Matt and Trey use to pitch the boys voice.

Bump

Last night I watched a bit of the South Park: Imaginationland Trilogy on ParaComdy. Yeah it was great that they showed all three episodes in the row. I want to get the USA dvd Of the South Park: Imaginationland movie because I heard that it is the uncut version.

[Reply #324 on:]

Juliet, all the DVD's (well, as of Season 11, anyway) are going to be uncut now. Yes, I'm still going to get this particular DVD for the extra footage and bonus features, but that's because I'm an overly obsessive fan. If all three parts are on the Season 11 DVD too (which they will be), it's really not worth most people owning both.

Anyway, Season 12 premiere aired yesterday! I'll try to avoid spoilers here because I really don't want to take away from the plot's shock value for anyone who hasn't seen it. It's far from the best South Park episode ever, but it's definitely one that every good fan NEEDS to watch.

1201 - Tonsil Trouble

Man... Definitely one of South Park's more extreme episodes. Not to the extent of Scott Tenorman Must Die, of course (after all, that's one long build-up to an incredibly shocking end, whereas the more shocking moments of this episode all happen early on), but still... Holy shit. That's quite possibly the worst thing Cartman's ever done. The extremity of it alone made the whole thing hilarious. Nice to see they took it somewhat more seriously than they usually take episodes - understating the situation really would have robbed it of all its humour.

The ending was kind of retarded, though. As much as I loved the bit in Africa, the whole thing seemed like one huge cop-out. Granted, they needed a way out of the situation, but surely they could've done better than that? Oh well, it was still a solid episode, and a great (and strange) way to start the season.

8/10

[Reply #325 on:]

New episode already! Sweet thanks Beamer I will watch it tonight after work

[Reply #326 on:]

Agreed Beamer, definatly not the best but it was still good. What Cartman did was the worst thing he has ever done and definatly a good yet weird way to start season 12.

[Reply #327 on:]

Yeah, that really was... extreme. Wow. Still, I thought this was a great episode. The only real downside to me was that I had Cheeseburger In Paradise stuck in my head all night.

[Reply #328 on:]

not a bad episode, love Butters kissing Cartman and Kyle beating Cartman's ass, the ending was pretty meh, but the season seems off to a good start

[Reply #329 on:]

WTF? It started yesterday? How did I not know this?

Ha. Yeah, the Butters kiss was fucking adorable. God, I love Butters. *hugs him*

[Reply #330 on:]

Seen the episode and I thought it was good. I always loved the Cartmana nd Kyle episodes.

[Reply #331 on:]

Awesome episode.

Am going to watch 12x01 in a moment. There was the ep when cartman gets destroys the two nannies and then get the dog trainer. That was an awesome ending, loved the music.

I still think that they could've done it in the end of Lice Capades instead of Angelina. Britney about to shave her hair and the lice you've been through say's "Oh, crap!"

[Reply #337 on:]

That Britney episode was terrible. Weak humour and just incredibly silly. I mean they've done the "adults do something abnormal" which Stan and Kyle think is ridiculous and try to stop thing to death. Just seemed like twenty minutes of paparazzis chasing after Britney. 2/5.

[Reply #338 on:]

It had a few funny moments, but boy did it go downhill in the last half. After it ended, I actually said aloud, "What the hell was that shit?"

Man, what a weak follow-up to last week's great episode.

[Reply #339 on:]

What the fuck! I didn't like the episode.

[Reply #340 on:]

The first two minutes were awesome... just for shock value, but it was a bit meh.

[Reply #341 on:]

After doing my research on what this episode was referencing, I've grown to appreciate the ending of this episode a bit more, but I still think it's pretty average. Aside from all the jokes about everyone being completely focussed on the most trivial things about Britney (overdone, but still funny), there was little fun to be had here. Butters and Cartman were abandoned with no pay-off to their storylines (quite unusual for South Park too, you'd have thought that the Butters/squirrel thing would at least go somewhere) and all the potential that the episode had was just lost.

Season 12's got a dark and disturbing tone about it so far. 1201 and 1202 have both stayed in my mind long after I first watched them... Don't get me wrong, sometimes this show's more fucked up episodes are among the best (Scott Tenorman Must Die, anyone?), but it's far more effective when done sparesly and these sort of episodes catch you off guard. Hopefully this won't be a trend for the rest of the season.

That episode was majorly messed-up. I remember when I first saw that, I couldn't
believe what they could get away with. I used to watch South Park plenty; much of the first few seasons was brilliant. Haven't watched it lately.

[Reply #343 on:]

Beamer, Can you explain the harvest reference stuff plz?

Also, just bought Arrested Development box set, thought you'd be happy.

[Reply #344 on:]

Last night's episode was awful. The beginning was funny but it went sharply downhill after they left the hospital. I'm not sure what the corn harvest thing was based off of but it was just too silly for my tastes.

[Reply #345 on:]

pretty disappointing

[Reply #346 on:]

I enjoyed last week's. It was, uh... cute, for lack of a better word. And actually funny.

Last night's was pretty much just terrible in every single way. Their point was so hypocritical that it made no impact for me.

[Reply #347 on:]

Ugh last nights episode was awful. I was thinking "What the hell is this shit?" Not nearly as good as last weeks episode. My little brotehr found the episode hilariously funny. But to me it wasn't as good as it could have been. I don't get the harvest stuff. I liked that they were going to kill Miley Cyrus/ Hannah Montana next. But the episode was awfuil after they left the hospital like SP said. This episode has potential but what happened to Cartman and Butters?

[Reply #348 on:]

I was hoping for more from those two as well.

I think I liked this episode more than some because it so heavily reflected one of my favorite short stories, "The Lottery", but I had a really hard time finding it amusing (same as last week).  I loved "Scott Tenorman Must Die" for its dark humor, but this season's episodes so far seem almost too dark and shocking.

[Reply #349 on:]

I loved "Scott Tenorman Must Die" that episode was awesoem. Very dark but hey dark humor is always good when it is done right.

[Reply #350 on:]

"Britney's new look"

Guess what?  Spot on, exactly what we do to celebrities.  This episode is a big red arrow pointing to the reason why the only celebrities that really stick are those that die young.

Funny, disturbing, and scathingly true.

I hope that they were refrenceing the original wicker man, though.  That one was good.

Apparentally there's some aspects of The Omen and The Wicker Man in there too, but that seems to be the main thing it's referencing.

[Reply #352 on:]

I liked this episode.  I was disappointed that Britney died.  I was expecting some last minute thing to save her like South Park usually does.  I especially like the Miley Cyrus joke at the end.  I wish they did away with her, since she looks like unattractive Amanda Bynes with an overbite and annoying southern drawl.

[Reply #353 on:]

Damn, I think this is the first time I've been disappointed with an episode since the beginning of season 9. 

[Reply #354 on:]

fryfanSpyOrama I totally agree with you abiout Cyrus. They should have gone after her but she hasn't train wrecked yet.

[Reply #355 on:]

Needs less preach.

The best part was Kyle and Cartman taking off after she shot herself.

[Reply #356 on:]

That Butters and Cartman

[Reply #357 on:]

Right, sorry. Typo.

The bit about the giant squirrel on the news was actually a very unusual joke for South Park. Usually Matt and Trey would just do a b story rather than a one line call back. I hope it's not a new trend, because it's kind of an easy "Derp" joke.

[Reply #359 on:]

once again, the new eps are all around pretty sub-par for me. just nowhere near as good as the older ones-  the miley cyrus thing made me laugh though, haha.
