South Park returns!

[bjkrautk]

I didn't even know the show was going to be on tonight.

 

Cartman "gets" Tourettes. I daresay there won't be many quotes that can pass the BF.net cuss-filter from this one.

[iluvlamp]

Crazy great episode.

[Rightomac13]

Holy cow that was 22 min. of non stop laughter.

You can tell that they had been planning that one for a while with all of the "Tourette's Guy" quotes that have been going around these days. But yeah, the episode was definitely an all-time favorite for me.

[zachlaka]

That was a good episode I like the stuff coming out of cartmans mouth when he really couldn't control what he was saying it made me laugh pretty hard.

[patrickgpe]

that was pretty funny, yeah i don't think we can quote almost a single line on this one though.

[PlayerHader]

That definitely was a laugher, which is weird, because all he really did was blurt out swears and other perverse stuff. I guess it brought out the 7th grader in me. The stuff that he couldn't help but say ("touching ******* with his cousin" and what not) was pretty hilarious too.

[patrickgpe]

i am surprised comedy central let him say some of the stuff he said. I did like "I cry at night because i don't have a father" (one of the few lines that can be quoted)

[PlayerHader]

Yeah, they really let him go off. Definitely pushed boundaries with the Jewish stuff.

[bjkrautk]

I believe that episode may have been the only time that I have ever heard one particular ethnic slur used on TV; I had always considered that word to be the Jewish equivalent to the N-word.

 

(Ironically / coincedentally enough, "N-word guy" was on just before the new show last night.) It will be interesting to see whether the show / network gets criticized...and if they do...how soon they spin that criticism into a new episode.

[patrickgpe]

yeah thats the word that really floored me they let on. I don't think i ever heard it on tv before.

[TooLiveBrew]

Just saw it tonight, loved it! So is the anti-Jewish-slur in question the same one from a certain J.D. Salinger short story?

 

Classic S.P. in action tonight. The ending was an all-time favorite!

[patrickgpe]

pretty disappointing episode last night i think. I liked how they tore up Bono and Katie Kurek, but other than that I felt last weeks was better.

[bjkrautk]

Much like the 300 parody last season, I felt like I would have enjoyed this episode quite a bit more if I had seen the "King of Kong" documentary.

[logan82]

Thought it was a pretty poor show. The only part that brought a chuckle was when the had the "Emmy Award Winning Show" along the bottom while Randy Marsh was in the bathroom. Didn't much care for last week's episode either.

[jazzytrav]

I mostly appreciate the way that shows like South Park and Family Guy find a way to get around the rules. I thought it was brilliant. I can just imagine the writers sitting in a room thinking about how they could fit the most terrible language into one episode, followed by one having a "eureka" moment.

Think about this experience. Your main goal is to fit as much foulness into one episode as possible. Suddenly someone says outloud "Let's give Cartman tourettes!". Everyone's jaw drops. It's the holy grail of crude animated humor. It's so beautiful, you're speechless. They had a standard for the writers to live up to...and someone just went way above that standard.

[davebobn]

"Turd Trimester" had me rolling.

[TooLiveBrew]

[looking away from the computer] I'd just like to state that I'm totally psyched to see this episode tonight when it's replayed in 45 min. Pacific Time. I missed it (stupidly) last night, and have avoided this thread once I saw the new ep was being discussed. I have a tendency to really enjoy episodes of SP that many think are lame. Not just to be "that guy", but this honestly seems to happen.

[JoeHova]

This episode was kind of stupid, but I'm not really a poop-joke lover. People who are will probably enjoy it. I thought it was a shame they weren't able to carry over the momentum from last week's episode, but there's always next week.

[TooLiveBrew]

As I thought I might....I really enjoyed it. I love that Parker & Stone unashamedly pursue jokes like "Turd Trimester." When the SP guys decide to do a send-up of someone, they pull no punches. The Bono theme music was awesome, especially when he was in Africa doling out some humanitarianism. I had no idea about the "King of Kong' doc you mentioned, bj - thanks for the tip.

[logan82]

I am surprised nobody commented on this week's South Park. I think it was the best one so far this season. It sucks that it is a 2 parter, but anytime there is a Thundercats reference you have to be happy.

[gypcasino]

This week's was awesome. Total chaos. Santa Claus on fire and Ronald McDonald with a bloody arm stump...

[twobrewers]

Couldn't agree more. Of course, thus far this season has been disappointing. It seems like they are always trying to "go over the top" or really rip into a celebrity.

In my opinion the best shows are just plain old character shows. The Big Gay Al episode was fantastic. The trip into imagination land was great. I personally enjoy the shows the focus on Stan, Kyle and Cartman more than the celebrity based episodes. (Well, with the exception of the taco flavored kissed)

[patrickgpe]

i agree the Tourettes episode was funny because it was something you could see Cartmen doing, the second one was not funny really at all and more was just an attack at Bono and Kurek. This has potential, i will be looking forward to see where they are going with this one.

[jwill535]

Any attack on "Bono" is funny.

 

 

There "Henifer Lopez" episode was the best

 

"Taco flavored kisses for my Beeeennnn"

 

"When i run for the border, you know what i am going to order......2 large tacos and a soda pop" (quote alittle off but you get the point"

The teacher on South Park reminds me of John Clayton.
