New season began this week.
Take one part iPad/Apple skewering, a surprising commitment to reenacting elements from the Human Centipede, and Cartman being gleefully annoying to his mom and you have a surprisingly good opening episode for season 15. I've often found the season/mid-season openers to be a disappointment, but I really liked this one. Disturbing, disgusting, hilarious.

Dvr'd it but haven't watched it yet
great episode.
I thought the past season was pretty boring.
Happy they're back into the groove.
lollerz.
cuttlefish and asparagus.
Can we atleast eat?
Because I like to be wined and dined BEFORE I'M FUCKED!
As I have gotten older, I have come to really like Gerald and Randy as characters.
wasn't finding it too funny until the "Quickening" scene which i then promptly exploded into laughter
Oh man, it was so crazy, I couldn't help but laugh and cringe at the same time! My dad had to explain to my brother and I that the whole "Human Centipede" is apparently a real movie!
Definitely. Randy has been a favorite character of mine on there for quite a few seasons now.Quote:

One thing that DID make me LMAO was that dad kissing his son, though.
Lol! That was pretty disturbing, and I agree with everything else you said. I did get a kick out of Cartman tho.Quote:

You got me! :PQuote:

At last!
I love when this thread gets bumped.
Wasn't really into the Funnybot episode. There were a few funny moments --I liked how Chancellor Merkel had a deeper voice than anyone-- but it felt underwhelming. It seemed like there was a much bigger inside joke/message that Parker and Stone were trying to make about Comedy Central's own "First Annual Comedy Awards" at the expense of making it entertaining. Honestly, I don't even pay attention to what's on Comedy Central other than South Park and occasionally the Daily Show.
I am curious as to the accuracy of Cartman's German in that one scene.
That shit was horrible. Straight up.
The Dalekish robot and Tyler Perry didn't do anything to help it.
The whole thing really just fell flat on it's face.
They were waaay to focused on the Comedy Awards. You're absolutely right, the Perry stuff was barely funny (I did like that Token just handed him money).Quote:

Not only was the whole endeavor shamelessly self-serving in its favoring of Comedy Central shows—as Trey Parker and Matt Stone said when South Park won for Best Animated Series, it’s a lot like “being Student of the Month when your mom’s the teacher”—there’s an inherent paradox at play that was articulated tonight. [. . . ] You can easily imagine Parker and Stone dreaming up “Funnybot” on the drive home from that strange little ceremony, having just spent several hours trapped in a scene that, for all its mildly subversive acceptance speeches from Stephen Colbert and Louis C.K. and the chance to see Bill Murray in person, was mostly a surprisingly dull, dry circle-jerk, the kind that only leads to mass chafing.
On the plus side, I discovered this German comic who's not too bad:

That was the only part I laughed atQuote:

Royal Pudding was a good one for sure. Its always great when Mackey loses his mind. Scott the Giant Dick was pretty good too.
It's a good rebound from last week's episode.
I was loading last weeks but checked this thread and thought better of it. Ill watch it at some point, but Ive never seen an episode get so much hate from the ng.com crowd before.Quote:

It was nice to see Ugly Bob and Scott back in action --though I wish they didn't make Ike the central character.
The Eskimo stuff was pretty amusing --especially Scott's slang for them: Snow Monkeys, etc.
Last week's was universally bad. It was just too distracted with an uninteresting, personal message to be funny.Quote:

I took great joy in Mr. Mackey's meltdown on Kyle and that's about it.
Well this episode was funny enough...Mr. Mackey losing his shit over his dad dying from tooth decay was good for a snicker.
And god knows I love it when someone takes the piss out of Canada for their pitiful love affair with the royal family.
Admittedly, I didn't think the funnybot episode was too bad either.
It was clever enough to use german work ethic and ingenuity as a comedic device, and everybody's willingness to rationalize and reconcile with a murdering robot instead of Tyler Perry was cute too. A little predictable but whatever.
I don't think anything will ever make me laugh as hard as the ghost of human kindness, or Mr. Garrisons gyroscopic dildocycle that spitroasts the pilot. Every sodomy take they did had me crying...especially when John Travolta got on one.
Oh well...its still pretty early in the season.
I had to remind myself of that clip, here it is in its entirety:Quote:

I was happy with the latest episode, "T.M.I." I liked it more than the last few eps.
The whole opening scenario, with the mistaken chart, was definitely the strongest part of the whole episode --it was going to be hard to top it and they really weren't able to. Still, the rest of the episode was watchable once Randy got involved.
Also, kudos on including Arnold's out-of-wedlock kid only a day after it was announced.
I freeze framed the original grown chart, posted by the faculty, and noticed that one of the kids was named "Leroy Jenkins".
Last night's episode was the best of the new season thus far.
Which shouldn't be all that surprising, Randy-centric episodes are usually some of the best.
I think we can stop bumping this thread weekly now, if all we're going to be doing is trying to point out the one or two possibly funny moments in what can only be described as South Park's long and painful circle around the drain.
Better solution: maybe you should ignore the thread since you're too hip for it.Quote:

Man, I don't think you guys get it. I'm a huge South Park fan. I've recently (as in within the last few months) sat and rewatched all the old seasons on NetFlix streaming. I watch the syndicated reruns all the time as well on the local channels and I love the edits they do... They're still awesome. Some are so good it hurts... but what really hurts is seeing how the last few seasons have turned to complete shit. I mean, it's like they're not even from the same people at all. I almost wonder if they're not just fucking with us to see how bad they can make the show before people start complaining. Really... I wouldn't put it past them for one second to do that, either. Every week, though, I watch it... and just cry a little inside.
I thought this one was pretty funny.

Surprised no one's added it on wikipedia yet. And disappointed in Bob.
"Vunder Slash" and the legend of the Dutch character (we should ask ratson about it) set-up a surprisingly committed argument against NCAA practices towards college athletes. Though I disagree with paying student athletes, while also waving my fist at the stupidity of the NCAA, I thought the CBAA was an amusing angle. This wasn't an episode that went for big jokes and an inaccurate representation of poutine, it was more calmly paces stroll through the Boiler Room and EA Sports.
Slash is in all of us.
Here's the Vunder Slash song:

Vunder Slash is based on Sinterklaas, which is basically our equivalent of Santaclaus. He lives in Spain, owns a steamboat and has black slaves.Quote:

The song they did is based on this

Oh yeah, I figured it was based on the older Santa stuff --nice finds smuf, thanks for sharing them :)
"We have an old saying at EA Sports: Get the fuck out of my building."
:lolz:
The whole Slash thing was funny but made me wonder...are there really 'Slash' appearances without the real Slash? Has he sold out his image?
You lost me precisely here.Quote:

The concept of portraying music was great, but the final few minutes of the show --once Randy and Sharon started arguing, seemed to be what Trey and Matt think of the show now (they purposely set up the shot so Randy would start staring at the audience during key lines). They barely hid that fact (clearly intentionally). They let that set-up a very different ending for an episode. Not even a To Be Continued or anything.Quote:

They definitely set up a topic of conversation for the break between the season halves.
Honestly, I think this would be a good time to wrap it up.
And if they're planning it, I wonder how their going to plan the final six episodes... There seems to be a lot of promise there.Quote:

Damn. Episode was great, but very depressing as well.
I don't blame them if they were to end it at the end of this season. :(
Last week's was pretty fucking awful.Quote:
