I am now after reading your post. I didn't realise it was starting again next week. Woot.

[ilovebsb]

yeah man next Wednesday. I'm so pumped and the preview they've been showing for it on comedy central makes the episode look. I stopped watching south park for the longest but for some reason i got back into it like 2years ago and i've been hooked again ever since then.

[Nolessthanblink]

I can't believe this forum's been around over 3 years! haha

[TheOtherAndrew]

I'm looking forward to it but South Park hasn't been hysterically funny since season 8.

The show jumped the shark when Mr. Garrison had the sex change.

Season 9 was good but had more than a few not-so-funny episodes. Season 10 was surprisingly mediocre. Season 11 was pretty awful. I can't stand the zombie episode at all. It just seemed like its become a weekly pop-culture reference show now.

Eh I disagree. I think there is a huge difference between pop-culture references and social commentary. Family Guy = pop-culture references, South Park = social commentary.

I get what you're saying
and a lot of the better episodes, mecha streissand and scott tenorman for instance, weren't topical at all

[TheOtherAndrew]

Eh I disagree. I think there is a huge difference between pop-culture references and social commentary. Family Guy = pop-culture references, South Park = social commentary.
maybe, but the social commentary's gotten unfunny and predictable lately. I saw the Michael Richards episode coming from a mile away, and the way they did it really wasn't that great at all.

[buysoap]

I still like it

[ilovebsb]

Other than the Lice Capades episode, i really enjoyed the first half of season 11.

[TheOtherAndrew]

New episode tonight.

Hopefully they'll turn it around after the trainwreck that was the first half of this season.

[DCfreak]

Definitely one of the best episodes in a long time.

I think South Park has redeemed itself.

I think South Park has redeemed itself.
very true.

shit filled vagina!!!

[DeadCityScars]

wow this episode was terrible. coming from a long time fan, this was an event for me and my college friends. I was even high during it, and I only chuckled a few times. their premiere episodes used to be top notch.

[TheOtherAndrew]

You've got to be kidding. Compared to recent episodes, this was fucking golden.

[Drew Beringer]

pissssssssssss coming out of my assssssssssss

[fedhed7]

this episode was awesome.

shiiiiiiiiiiittt!

[StandMyBrothers]

hahaha so great. piss out my ass!

I think that line, made me laugh harder then I have ever laughed at South Park before

[EvilconCarne]

anybody knows SouthParc vs. WoW episode ? was it part of a series or just singled-out. I'm having a serious debate with some of my friends over this

[Thug_Nasty]

pisss out my assss

[gusta0117]

please, take a seat.

take a seat right here

[krishasaheadake]

When South Park first came out I didnt really find it funny. I felt it was just mediocre dick and fart jokes, so to speak. But In the past few years they have been incredible.

My all time favorite episode is the "Junior Detectives" one.

[eMart]

anybody knows SouthParc vs. WoW episode ? was it part of a series or just singled-out. I'm having a serious debate with some of my friends over this
Just one episode. Piss out of your ass one Kyle's Mom's Jew face. Whoa, that was a bad one.

[DCfreak]

yeah was just one episode to kick off the season last year. Was pretty good though... especially if you've played wow

[EvilconCarne]

Thanks for confirming.
I still play WoW and it was super funny. I kept on watching it a few times :)

[PaulsRightNut]

hahahaha donkey boner was my favorite part of the entire episode.

[4N6 science]

i love south park, didn't find the giant crap episode to be that great but this season is doing well....

[Thug_Nasty]

yeah the crap one was kind of lame

[krishasaheadake]

oh my god. who is watching south park right now?

aaahhh my nipples hurt when i twist them!

Are you going to rape us?

[ilovebsb]

hahahahaha this is by far the funniest episode of the season.
I really hope kyle doesnt end up sucking cartmans balls. i'll be so pissed if he does.

[krishasaheadake]

hahahahaha this is by far the funniest episode of the season.
I really hope kyle doesnt end up sucking cartmans balls. i'll be so pissed if he does.

But Kyle doesnt have to suck Cartman's balls because Leoppercons are NOT real.

[StandMyBrothers]

after this weeks episode & the tourette's episode, i'm convinced that cartman is not straight.

[krishasaheadake]

after this weeks episode & the tourette's episode, i'm convinced that cartman is not straight.

Dont forget. Cartman also put Butter's weiner in his mouth.

[XlenceOfXecution]

i predict that butters gets laid before any of those other guys...haha

[Smash Adams]

after this weeks episode & the tourette's episode, i'm convinced that cartman is not straight.

I figured that out in the awesomeo episode where he dressed up like britney spears and kissed a cardboard cutout of Justin Timberlake
you're a little late on that

[airik625]

easily one of my favorite shows ever. favorite episodes probably being
Scott Tenorman must die
Rainforest Shmainforest
and the one w/ the whore off btwn paris hilton and mr.slave

if i had to choose right now

[ilovebsb]

I figured that out in the awesomeo episode where he dressed up like britney spears and kissed a cardboard cutout of Justin Timberlake

hahaha yeah very true, i guess you could go so far back as to the first season for his homosexual tendencies when he was playing tea party in cartman's moms is a dirty slut. In this season though they're tearing cartman apart. First him putting butter's weenier in his mouth, then him telling everyone hiim and his cousin have touched each other's penises then this. It's totally fucked up. i can't wait for part two imagination land. Last night's episode was amazing.

[fantasma]

"Be careful guys...I think this guy wants to rape us."

[3mpire]

Just finished watching Imagination Land. The trilogy could be some of the best episodes yet.

The care bear bit was hillarious.

[krishasaheadake]

Wow this episode is crazy. I love Jason's voice hahaha

"Oh and Kyle I havent had a chance to shower these past few days on my trip here so my balls are extra vinegary."

[animperfectcry]

Wow this episode is crazy. I love Jason's voice hahaha

"Oh and Kyle I havent had a chance to shower these past few days on my trip here so my balls are extra vinegary."

omg. soooo nasty.
but sooo funny. hahah.
I love how he puts on a crown and robe..

"no wait, it's like a half bear, half man-pig!!"

[fantasma]

I got luke skywalker and everyone mad at me.

[krishasaheadake]

bwahahaha its Jesus

[TheOtherAndrew]

That council of the 9 make believe characters or whatever was fuckin hilarious.

[heyozzie]

i absolutely loved how that one guy kept telling everybody the secret government plot. and the portal was named "imagination doorway" (right?) anyway, whatever it was it had me laughing liquids out of my nose.

[IAPAI]

I have to start watching this show way more often.

[umendevery1weno]

easily one of my favorite shows ever. favorite episodes probably being
Scott Tenorman must die
Rainforest Shmainforest
and the one w/ the whore off btwn paris hilton and mr.slave

if i had to choose right now

haha scott tenorman is great.
I think my favorite is when they are looking for a the killer that cuts off hands,
and they think cartman is the psychic.(sp) ... well any way that one is great

[kshtoinks12]

If you don't think the Jeniffer Lopez episode is the best, you're just plain wrong. I'll give you a pardon if your favorite is the Scott Tenorman episode. The way this is going however, part III of the trilogy will be my favorite.

[decrescendo27]

yeah def one of my favorite eps

[fedhed7]

This episode was pretty brilliant. Love the callbacks to Critter Christmas and Manbearpig.

[Adeniz19]

fucking popeye.

[xxeuthanasia]

oh my god.

"piss! coming out of my ass!"

ahahahaha

[shinedown114]

So I figured id make a thread to see what everyone thinks is funnier, Family Guy or South Park?

I know they are kinda different comedies but there are enough similarities to compare them and such.

As for me, id have to say i've followed and watch South Park more.

Family Guy was never funny.

[SingleDoubt]

Family Guy was never funny.

agreed

[CubbyNick42]

In terms of depth of humor and topicality, it's not even close. People laugh at Family Guy because it's random. South Park gets laughs because it's fucking brilliant.

[Bob Payne]

I like Family Guy because its random and light-hearted, and there isn't as much of a jump in the quality of episodes. South Park hasn't been good since the Michael Jackson episode almost 3 years ago.

[CubbyNick42]

South Park hasn't been good since the Michael Jackson episode almost 3 years ago.
Um...what? Did your Tivo get South Park confused with According To Jim? I'm sorry, that statement is patently untrue.

[Bob Payne]

Um...what? Did your Tivo get South Park confused with According To Jim? I'm sorry, that statement is patently untrue.

I'm sorry that you disagree with my opinion. But to say that the last three seasons land anywhere near seasons 2-6 is just wrong, my man.

[carsonxgrave]

Tough pick.
Family Guy's my choice though.

[Kid B]

i love both, but family guy's imitation of daytime tv shows are hilarious. >

[Big_Guy]

South Park, no contest.

[chichagof]

I'm sorry that you disagree with my opinion. But to say that the last three seasons land anywhere near seasons 2-6 is just wrong, my man.

and to say that the new seasons of family guy since its return are anywhere near the orignal ones is wrong as well... my man.

[shinedown114]

I have to agree that their earlier seasons were some of the funniest, but if you have been watching the latest seasons, it had some of the funniest South Park episodes ever. The WoW episode was just brilliant and i mean, Herion Hero, who cant laugh at that. It seems to me that South Park is just the better comedy. Family Guy is funny because of the little 15 second breaks they have in which completley random things are said, it is funny, but its just kinda there. It doesnt have the true story comedy that South Park has.

[carsonxgrave]

Family Guy is so laid back and hilarious at the same time.

[allhourcymbals]

I like both, overall I think Family Guy is better, but South Park has more episodes that I'll remember. Like the Michael Jackson one... and the Easter one.

[shinedown114]

I do agree, Family Guy is more laid back.

I mean, you have the Scott Tennamen episode, which is one of the craziest and messed up episodes of South Park, but yet its soooo funny.

[allhourcymbals]

What about the tourettes one? :-D
Haha I loved the beginning of that one.

[carsonxgrave]

Haha I loved the beginning of that one.


lollllll, the ending was pretty good too.

I don't remember it :shrug:

[Dan1234]

I'm sorry that you disagree with my opinion. But to say that the last three seasons land anywhere near seasons 2-6 is just wrong, my man.

you are insane

[fedhed7]

How can a show be laid back? I don't get that.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are 2 of the most brilliant social commentators of our generation.

[LansingGaddis]

I like both, overall I think Family Guy is better, but South Park has more episodes that I'll remember. Like the Michael Jackson one... and the Easter one.

Exactly. All there is to remember about Family Guy is some random shit that happens. Nothing within the actual plot is funny. So it probably isn't even possible to remember which specific episode a given funny random shit scene happened in.

South Park > Family Guy in any/every way possible.

[Kif]

you are insane
I agree with him. Season 10 and 11 were trash. You knew what was going to happen for the most part, and the Kyle/Cartman stuff just isn't funny anymore. Save for a few episodes (The WoW and 24 episodes were classics), it's been really bad compared to what they've done in the past.

[Scott Weber]

Political South Park is dumb and gets too much credit for being intelligent. Episodes about stupid stuff like video games or other TV shows/actors/movies are hilarious. Family Guy used to be great, is now just ok. Still has major laugh moments in it. Hard to choose, I just think SP is really, really overrated for being intelligent and biting social commentary sometimes when all Matt and Trey do is watch the news and make an episode exactly about it, but with a bunch of fart jokes and then people see it as poking fun of a serious situation and how ridiculous it is, which is what they're doing, but it's not smart. It's just...surface level stuff. Both are funny shows. That's all I can say.

[Scott Weber]

How can a show be laid back? I don't get that.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are 2 of the most brilliant social commentators of our generation.This is exactly what I am talking about........

[xZiggyStardustx]

Eh I prefer South Park. Family Guy's 1st and 2nd season were good, like, the occasional clever joke. Now its all sex jokes.

South Park does the same thing, but the show is my more topical and like, relevent to stuff thats going on.

I dunno, thats my theory

[4N6 science]

south park is clearly the best.. the concepts for the shows and how they relate to current events is absolutely brilliant...

family guy doesn't come close..

[lilRIPsta]

i dont see this decline of quality from south park that everybody talks about. Every season is pure GENIUS and no show is as culturally relevant.

[4N6 science]

i dont see this decline of quality from south park that everybody talks about. Every season is pure GENIUS and no show is as culturally relevant.

agreed...

the guitar hero episode this season is great..

[brentkid]

I prefer South Park. To me, Family Guy is just a collection of "Remember that time..." jokes.

[Scott Weber]

i dont see this decline of quality from south park that everybody talks about. Every season is pure GENIUS and no show is as culturally relevant.
How is it genius to take a popular video game and write an episode about it, comparing it to being a real rockstar? How is that genius? It's FUNNY, but genius? Come on. Matt and Trey get wayyyyyyyyyyy too much credit.

[Scott Weber]

For me, it is stupid to immediately label a show that is socially relevant as "so smart" and "genius" and how they are revolutionary. Just because the material is topical doesn't mean it has depth. The themes and depth to South Park is very thin, shallow, surface level. True genius comedic writing comes from Larry David, or Mitchell Hurwitz, cyclical ironic humor. I just really feel strongly about this...South Park gets too much credit for it's shock value and topical humor.

[OtherBen]

that's not what the episode was about. it was about the complete and undeniable pointlessness of games like guitar hero. and then taking that concept to the next level and exagerating it to the point where people would actually feel like their life is over because of it. the heroin hero game is essentially EXACTLY the same as guitar hero. pressing a button at a particular time in order to achieve zero.

and then if you actually have a conscience you would find something human and familiar in watching randy come down and try to play it in just his pants.

anyone who thinks the first four seasons of south park are better than the ones proceeding them are fools.

[Shatter_Glass]

just to say that i agree with larry david and ironic humour being smart. but that doesn't mean that south park is just shock value and topical humour. at it's heart, it's meant to be a fun show but you can easily take the ideas away and see a more political side.

for instance, the manbearpig episode alluding to global warming and when the terrorists attack our imaginations in the imaginationland trilogy, it's clever stuff sometimes.

but i'm not disagreeing that larry david and shows like peepshow and spaced (bear with me, i'm english) aren't clever. they are. but south park is/was revolutionary and smart also.

...You are reading too deep into it. Everyone knows video games are pointless and for fun, individual achievements. I don't need a show to point out that trying to get a high score in a game means nothing. And you are making that up about Heroin Hero. The point of that was that they were wasting away their lives because stan (or kyle, can't remember) couldn't handle the pressure of being in a "band" and having to produce. There was no talk of any..button hitting. Except to try and grab the dragon? That is not deep comedy. I see the appeal - that episode was hilarious - but when people think Matt and Trey are social commentary gods I just sit back and say "are you serious?" I wish people could just say that it's funny because it talks about topical events that are funny at the time, and that's that. But people get carried away.

reading too deep into it? making it up?

surely the fact that i took those ideas and thoughts away from that episode is tantamount to the social commentary they have put forth?

how can i MAKE up what i took from an episode?

do you see my point?

our society isn't so far removed from actually having a game where you are a drug addict chasing a dragon. it's another form of addiction. and all of these thoughts, ethics and ideas from a toilet humour cartoon?

you can still have fun and gross out comedy that instills interesting debate into people. i wouldn't say they're social commentary gods, but i tend to ignore a lot of people on these boards. yr reply however, was quite eloquent, so i thought i'd try and show you some appeal, of which you already say you see, so fair enough!

[Sage-o]

I like them both but if I had to choose it'd be south park.family guy does the whole "remember the time" joke thing too much,but south park has a new thing almost ever time.:vampire:

[shinedown114]

How is it genius to take a popular video game and write an episode about it, comparing it to being a real rockstar? How is that genius? It's FUNNY, but genius? Come on. Matt and Trey get wayyyyyyyyyyy too much credit.

The reason why they get some much credit, is because they are able to produce the "surface level stuff" better than anyone else can. They are able to take this type of comedy and turn it into something that a rare few can do now a days. I do think you have a point in saying that its not genius stuff, but it still has smarts too it. I mean, judging from what other people said, there are many different things that many different people get out of an episode of South Park. In my opinion, if someone is able to create that effect from a show, then there has to be a certain level of smarts about the show.

It may not be brilliant and complete genius comedy, but it deffinatly is smart comedy.

Its always funny. Family guy is funny too, but I usually have to be stoned to laugh at family guy as hard as i do with south park. Quagmire is a great character though. But Cartman will always be funniest.

so true, and great avatar btw, glad its back

I have to say that I think south park-like fine wine-just gets better with age. I loved the guitar hero episode. It's funny cause it's so true. I know way too many kids who assume they are the best thing ever because they can play guitar hero. :hitself:

[cahrishurr]

so true, and great avatar btw, glad its back

hell yea, i figured it was time since you mentioned it the other day

when it comes to cultural relevance,the mighty boosh wins hands down.

[Kid Defender]

South Park of course. I'll have to jump back and agree with some earlier statements that South Park has been increasingly bad since season 9. It's almost impossible for me to sit through the new episodes. Now, the Succubus episode and spontaneous combustion episodes.... that's where that show was really on top!

[dubey]

hahaha wow.

I've been watching since the first season and I don't think you can be more wrong. The humour in the earlier seasons relied way too much on profanity and repetitive character traits (kenny dying, stan puking, cartman's one liners) to get some cheap laughs. Don't get me wrong, it was hilarious all through middle school but there's no way the show would still be on the air if they still did that.

That being said, Family Guy isn't even on the same level as South Park.

I just HATE the new animation tyle. I think the crappy look they had really added to the humor. The fat that they don't even sound like the same characters anymore really irritates me. Eh, bottom line is I think the show's best moments is behind it but I still think it's better than A LOT of s hit on TV today. Also, I think your comment about it not being on TV today if it was still like it used to be is wrong. It's still doing tons of shit humor, just not in a way that is as funny as it once was. Just look at the damn episode where Stan's dad took the biggest shit in history. How is that any different than making dirty jokes for cheap laughs?

[4N6 science]

yeah i agree totally, that was funny then, now they've gotten to a higher level of comedy, that requires more thinking..

A higher level of comedy/thinking? Like who can take the bigger shit and shooting a Whale into the moon? Funny stuff for sure, but it sure as hell didn't make me think. Not trying to argue with you, just found that funny.

well the who can take a bigger shit episode, was making fun of Bono, and the shit story was just the top layer but the real genius was in how they made fun of bono and why he does all these nice things and gets awards is because he's a piece of shit (literally) and he can't stand being number 2 (taking a shit) so he has to be number 1 in everything.. the show was a lot deeper than stan's dad trying to have the biggest shit in the world.

Ha, I dunno, I didn't fnd that to be deep. Sure, Bono is a douche, but I think South Park has been mixing shit humor and ridiculing celebrities from the start. Look at season 2 when mr Hankey flooded the w hole town with shit to get rid of the film festival crowd. Same thing right there, just funnier(in my opinion). That was almost 10 years ago, and they are doing similar things still.

[dubey]

I just HATE the new animation tyle. I think the crappy look they had really added to the humor. The fat that they don't even sound like the same characters anymore really irritates me. Eh, bottom line is I think the show's best moments is behind it but I still think it's better than A LOT of s hit on TV today. Also, I think your comment about it not being on TV today if it was still like it used to be is wrong. It's still doing tons of shit humor, just not in a way that is as funny as it once was. Just look at the damn episode where Stan's dad took the biggest shit in history. How is that any different than making dirty jokes for cheap laughs?
You can't just define the "new" south park with one episode. They constantly provide relevant and insightful social commentary as the basis of the majority of their new episodes while still making it one of the funniest shows on TV.

You can't just define the "new" south park with one episode. They constantly provide relevant and insightful social commentary as the basis of the majority of their new episodes while still making it one of the funniest shows on TV.

That was merely one example. To me, it's not deep AT ALL or insightful. It's just funny, shit humor to me and it has been almost from the start. Bottom line is I don't think it is as funny as it used to be. I could provide plenty of examples of all this stuff, but I just don't see the point in getting into it; it's all just opinon based anyway. I agree with Scott; people are giving it way too much praise. I absolutely love the show, but I think people are going a little overboard with it.

Well, hey if that's how you took it, than thats totally fine. I wasn't trying to sway your view on it, just provide my opinion. Both were super funny episodes that proved a great point about celebrities: they're douchebags.

South park shits on family guy.

South Park season 11 episodes are funny.

[symbiote28]

south park over family guy anytime ..

[[[plaguer]]]

i LOVE family guy. my friends and i always quote the episode when they say whip and pronounce the H. then weird... with an h... i cracks me up evertime. Cool wHip. whip. Cool wHip. wow thats really wHeird.

[LV03]

i watch more family guy than south park

[shinedown114]

Thats another thing about South Park, i just always seem to watch more of South Park than i do of Family Guy, i dont know if its just the time slot or whatnot and the fact that i work Sunda nights, but it just seems i see South Park much more than Family Guy.

[TK]

Anyone who thinks Family Guy is funnier than South Park is most likely A) A 13 Year Old or B) A Idiot

obviously South Park is better, however if Adam West had his own show it might offer some stiff competition

woot. season premiere this wednesday.

the premieres are usually ridiculous. i'm excited.

[billyboatkid]

Me too, any commercials or anything on it yet?!

Like a tease.

[reissgoespunk]

Oh, yes!

[Smash Adams]

according to Entertainment Weekly it will have something to do with Cartman running for office

Sounds like it could be pretty fucked up! Sweet, I used to hate South Park back in the day, but in the last six or so months I just ended up watching every episode.

[meeotch]

I haven't really kept up with South Park since like 9th grade but I've been watching re-runs lately. I'm gonna try and get back into it this season.

[cahrishurr]

I dont think I saw any episodes last season, ive lost interest in South Park.

[shinedown114]

I missed the first episode, hopefully they will show it prior to the new one tonight.

[symbiote28]

the one where eric got hiv was kinda funny ..

'im not just sure, im hiv positive!' ..

i laughed so hard when he said it the first time ..

[demondays524]

Last week's was great.

It's gotten a lot better since the 10th season which I thought kinda sucked.

[positive hearts]

South Park is just about my favorite show on television and I loved the episode last week. The repetition of the line "I'm not just sure, I'm HIV positive" was laugh out loud every time, and the speech Kyle had about how the situation was not funny, really referring to how the story of the show shouldn't really be funny was great. I really like it whenever Matt and Trey poke fun at themselves, like in Cartoon Wars.

[TheOtherAndrew]

The AIDS episode wasn't that great, kids. This show jumped the shark when Garrison had the sex change. It still has its moments.

[DeathCabForCoon]

There were some funny lines in this episode, but I was hoping there was going to be a big punchline with what the cure was, but it fell flat which was pretty disappointing.

Although this episode had some of the best meta-dialogue i've heard in a long while.

[nhoium]

Last week's was great.

It's gotten a lot better since the 10th season which I thought kinda sucked.
i thought 10th season was the shows revival :shrug:
Steven McTowelie, Cartoon Wars, ManBearPig, WOW... all great episodes
and with season 11 it only got better...
i though 10 and 11 were some of the best since season 5

[nhoium]

the one where eric got hiv was kinda funny ..

'im not just sure, im hiv positive!' ..

i laughed so hard when he said it the first time ..
hahah yeah, the first time it was said was hilarious,
not to mention when he told kyle to stop being so HIV negative.
and making fun of jimmy buffet was classic

[Chris Fallon]

I loved the premiere. This show never gets old.

[HBdoubleJ]

I'm in complete shock after tonight's episode. Just when I thought this show couldn't surprise me anymore....

[shinedown114]

I'm in complete shock after tonight's episode. Just when I thought this show couldn't surprise me anymore....

Hahaha

When they had her start singing at the MTV Awards I about lost it, i couldnt stop laughing everytime she "sang".

[positive hearts]

Wow, another home run. The news report about the giant squirrel, the paparazzi guy shrieking like the vampire from 30 Days of Night, the angry mob singing that freaky shit, amazing. The cameos by one or two time characters, like Nut Gobbler and the awesome Warcraft guy were neat as well.

I already can't wait for what they have up their sleeves for next week.

[3mpire]

Fuck! :-D

CAMEL TOE.

[TheOtherAndrew]

I was kinda bummed when I heard they were doing an episode on Britney Spears, but it turned out to be pretty well done.

well, the warcraft episode, cartoon wars, and manbearpig episodes were the best ones. the other ones were just okay.

i thought season 5 and 8 were the best.

there was, The cure was money. If you have money you can pay to have Aids and be fine like Magic Johnson who pays doctors to give him drugs to keep him healthy. Then the guy in the SUV went to some third world country and told them the cure was money but they couldnt do anything about it because they didnt have any. Money cures all

[TK]

This season has been disappointing so far in my opinion.

[shinedown114]

This season has been disappointing so far in my opinion.

It hasnt been as great as the last couple seasons so far, but its far from their worse.

Hopefully it will start to pick up.

[Young Machetes]

This season has been disappointing so far in my opinion.

I agree. I thought the last season was brilliant. Season 10 was one of the best overall.

I really want this season to top the last.

[mikeye]

I thought that the aids episode was pretty good. I missed the one that played this wednesday though..

[yourneck]

Then the guy in the SUV went to some third world country and told them the cure was money but they couldnt do anything about it because they didnt have any. Money cures all

they were making fun of how much money has been used on aids research so far, when not as much progress as would be expected has been seen yet. so it's like all that money was a waste and might as well have just been injected into the patients.

it's great how consistent south park has been all these years; embarrassingly immature but somehow still clever

[gilatron5000]

I already can't wait for what they have up their sleeves for next week.It looked more like the vampire from I Am Legend to me.

[positive hearts]

It looked more like the vampire from I Am Legend to me.

You're probably right. That's not where my mind went for some reason even though I enjoyed I Am Legend and was disappointed by 30 Days of Night. Maybe it's because the only thing I remembered from 30 Days was how high pitched the vampires were.

[DeathCabForCoon]

It looked more like the vampire from I Am Legend to me.

Nope, it was a reference to Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers from the 70's

[Adeniz19]

man, the two episodes this season have been really below average. the britney spears one started off gold but it felt like they dragged the joke on too long

[highasakyt]

Dude, I've been watching South Park since I was like 10. I didn't know it was still on though. (I'm anti-TV now for some reason...)

I might check out the new season. It better be funny though, I hate going on fucking deviant art or something and seeing Stan and Kyle doing each other. Their fucking...like 7 now! Very much DO NOT WANT.

They're all in the 6 to 8 out of 10 range.

I think the Brittney Spears episode was possibly the worst episode of south park ever.

I thought a few episodes this season (Major Boobage, Canada on Strike) were incredible, while some like the Britney Spears episode and last Wednesday's were pretty good, but not excellent. South Park is still by far and away just about the best thing on television though.

[bhs1158]

Was the most recent episode a parody of Stand and Deliver? I remember watching that movie in AP Calculus my senior year in high school.

[TheOtherAndrew]

It absolutely was. I watched it in my AP Stat class senior year too.

[stayillogical]

No fair. No movie showing when I took AP Calc or AP Stats.

[TheOtherAndrew]

http://www.seomoz.org/images/upload/simpsons_nelson_haha2.jpg

We watched And the Band Played On in AP Stat too. I don't really remember why, but it was better than normal class.

[Fury15]

tonight's episode (the internet) was absolutely awful. i barely chuckled and even that was forced, it was entirely predictable.

this season has been an overall disappointment.

[stayillogical]

I cried during the ectoplasm part. I don't know what you're talking about. Stan's dad and his obsession with internet porn was hysterical. Beastiality click click.

The ectoplasm will never get old for me. It's going into my daily vocabulary. Just today during class, my friend says to me, "Jess, I'm going to ectoplasm all over your face." Good stuff.

[buysoap]

Any episode focusing majorly on Randy Marsh is good in my book. The Internet episode didn't have a lot of laugh out loud moments, minus the ectoplasm, but it did have a lot of chuckling. Randy Marsh is the best character on the show.

[Adeniz19]

No fair. No movie showing when I took AP Calc or AP Stats.
don't feel alone haha

last nights episode was worth it just because of randys semen explosion.

[selftitled85]

"asian girl puking into another asian girls mouth" *click*

[Adeniz19]

it's not like we can just go back to playboy

[grabyourguns]

i think it was "asain girls exchanging body fluids" *click*

[positive hearts]

This was probably only the third or fourth best episode of the season so far but it was still fairly good and like other people said the ectoplasm thing was great.

[symbiote28]

what would we do without the internet .. hmm ...

You know what's funny? About a week ago, I saw a repeat of the "Guitar Queer-O" episode, which makes fun of GH on all sides and corners, and as irony would have it, after the opening credits I saw that "This episode of South Park is sponsored by Guitar Hero: Aerosmith". Oh, sweet irony.
