i tried for the first time after the episode tonight. :D

plus i never thought of the tank as a nice shelf for my comic book and chocolate milk before.

i was thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea if i had a flat screen there.

BTW, clyde mother's a cunt....

Can't believe I've been doing it wrong all these years. That comic book/ chocolate milk shelf is ingenious.

Besides the obvious TSA parody, I wonder if they were taking shots at the government for the recent shutdowns of megaupload and the SOPA act - the joke being you can't have your privacy at home now.

Pretty funny episode but damn they just aren't getting those top shelf laughs out of me anymore. Butters always good for a laugh.

Cash for Gold spoke to me. They kept it simple but tied it all together very satisfyingly. Maybe I just don't like the episodes where they get too abstract. I loved the calls to the shopping channel and it was funny how they host talked to them instead of just hanging up. I laughed harder than I have in a while.

I enjoyed the visualization of the economic lifecycle and the old person call-ins. They nailed the cadence of the people selling on those networks. Stan's grandpa had some genuinely sad moments in that ep.

I like how the blame didn't fall on one party, but simply criticized the whole system. The way the old people spoke was spot on as well.

Stan's family always has the realest moments.

Like when Sharon resigns to calling off the divorce and "sticking with what you know". Ugh. Too true to be funny, only sad and dreary.



Anyway this newest episode seems to be great. I'm only a few minutes in, but I like it.

Caught up on my DVR: Cupid/Cherub Cartman was solid gold, I love how deranged he's become. This last episode of the half-season was the first South Park in ages where I felt they still had good stuff to put in the episode but were out of time.

I like how Mr. Garrison was teaching Game of Thrones in the beginning.

Last week's live action finale was good-ol' South Park. Loved it. Though, Cartman's dialog sounds so much more hateful when it is coming from the mouth of an adult.

True, I was like damn that really brings it up that extra notch

Also Kenny dying of boredom was funny

Part of me wonders if they had the live-action bit planned all along or if, sometime late in the production schedule, they realized that it would not only be less work to just run out and have real actors but also be delightfully bizarre (I love that they blatantly filmed it in Marina del Rey) --I think the first time they used live actors were the inserts of the Japanese woman in the Chinpokomon episode.

Surprised you guys liked the last couple. I thought they felt kinda rushed and pointless.

I'm pretty sure the last batch of episodes were all done in advance and not on the last schedule where they'd do the episode that week. If you noticed when they started airing the commercials for when the show was coming back they were showing clips of the new episodes and not clips of ones that were on the last season. They must have planned early for the zipline episode because they kept show the clip of Cartman yelling "It's totally fucking stupid guys!". I also loved the Game of Thrones in the classroom and the live action bit with the real piece of shit for Mr. Hankey.

Season 16 continued this evening with an episode that had a serviceable premise for the full episode and a secondary joke that had be cringing from the moment Butters opened his closet--not a bad cringing, but still, lolwtf. I love that Stan's dad knew exactly what it was.


Also: "I love listening to all your hit song."
