    At least it's still funny. South Park is at it's best though when Randy Marsh, Cartman and Butters take center stage.

    by mrhyde

    it was Kyle's dad, Gerald. Randy just let us know he's been there before by sadly remarking at the end, "yeah, and you never get a good look at her naked boobs anyways..." but yes, randy is by far the best character.

    by palooka_boy

    Is the best character on the show. I mean, that's of course to exclude Cartman, because when you look at the big picture, Cartman is sort of in a league of his own. But yeah, Stan's dad embodies almost everything that is funny about South Park.

    Indy episode: meh. Wendy vs. Cartman: hilarious. Tonight appears promising, but so did an episode about Britney Spears once upon a time...

    Will Smith big MO and seeks Scientology cure!

    by evilwizardglick

    http://bumpshack.com/2008/10/22/will-smith-seeks-scientology-to-cure-his-homosexuality/
    Will Smith Seeks Scientology To Cure His Homosexuality?
    An anonymous Hollywood Madame claims she provided male prostitute services to actor Will Smith for years, before she moved her business to New York.

    “I had to reassure him over and over that I could guarantee discretion. Once I convinced him I could, he placed his order,” the Madame explained.

    “It was for a man. I had 14 women working for me and two guys.”

    “You’d be surprised at how many Hollywood stars requested the services of the guys,” she added.

    I don’t know if we should believe this anonymous source since she has absolutely no proof of her claims, but Will always set off my gaydar somehow…

    Will Smith is married to actress Jada Pinkett Smith and they have two kids together, Jaden and Willow. Will recently joined Scientology and he is best friends with creepy Tom Cruise, who is probably trying to cure his homosexuality with the help of some freaky ritual (Dianetics therapy… I do not make this stuff up!!).

    They have to be whether they like it or not It's part of the initiation. The bigwigs put on silk robes, lead you into a secret room in the Roosevelt Hotel, and then David Geffen jumps out of a closet and plows your ass until his cock touches your brain. And then BAM you're a star. I thought everyone knew this.

    by raymar

    If there is a part two (and I'm very skeptical about that) than we saw the seeds of a potentially classic SP adventure. If this was just a diverting exercise in silliness though, than the whole thing is just like the "Sexy Action News" ep: one big joke about how hard Trey is finding it to think of new ideas each week.

    was this episode any good? haven't seen it yet and need/want to know if its worth watching as soon as possible.....as sometimes SP can be.

    and that election episode may just be a MONSTER. Think about it. They seem to have one a season now, and unfortunately seasons are short for this show.

    by dazzler69

    Very good visual work on end of ep. I thought it was weird Stan using that camcorder throughout the ep. Lot's of Cloverfield visuals. Not a bad ep and good reason for a two parter. I thought Craig was the middle finger kid? He never did it. Might be the payoff for next ep.

    ....AWFUL. This is the first time I didn't laugh at a South Park episode. This episode sucked hard. A Cloverfield reference? That would have been topical last year. Peruvians? WTF? Craig was the only entertaining part. He's now my second favorite after Butters.

    by sometimes i guess

    What a sad state of affairs. I suspect that the people who still think South Park is funny are the same people who still laugh at the Simpsons. South Park hasn't been even remotely chuckle-inducing since season 8. It's now become off topic, unfunny, boring, and irrelevant. It's a parody of its self at this point. Irreverent to irrelevant.. just like the Simpsons. Sad.

    So a Cloverfield reference would have been topical before the movie was, you know, released? Seriously? That's like saying movies about 9/11 would be topical during the Clinton administration.

    Yes this half of the season isn't great..

    by fracturedlojak

    I really didn't like the Indy episode. No pun intended, but it was pretty hamfisted. Last week's episode with Wendy was better, but not great. This week? I ended up shutting off the TV and playing on the Internet half-way through the episode AND I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT. I do that for normal TV. I've never done that for South Park. This does not bode well. At least Lost returns in a few months.

    by _maltheus_

    The Indy rape line was funny, but that was pretty much it. I can't imagine why they thought this needed to be a two parter. Usually bad episodes involve bad jokes. This ep didn't even have jokes, much less bad ones. I'm even laughing more at family guy, and that's suppose to be written by manatees. They must be dumping mercury into the Hollywood water supply this year.

    by nalapou

    No Herc, Kenny and GERALD...i.e. the two worst characters on the show. Ergo, the worst episode ever. I LOVE this show and LOVED Season 11 through and through, but season 12 has Canada, On Strike! and Super Fun Time. 2/10 so far. Although the rape scenes really were funny, albeit disturbing.

    by tallboy66

    Aside from Clyde's lines, which were amazing because they were so monotone, I thought the episode was kind of weak and ambling, but when the Cloverfield shit happened and that total WTF ending, I started to really dig it and look forward to next week. Mostly because the 2-parter totally snuck up on you. But, yeah, that was kind of a drag for most of the time, but it was worth it for all the stuff with Clyde and the ending.

    Reply to Talkback

  • Sorry, Kevin Smith, FAMILY GUY and ROBOT CHICKEN, but all those STAR WARS jokes aren't topical anymore. You'll have to settle for DARK KNIGHT jokes instead.

    At least until next year, apparently.

    They're right, those Peruvian Flute Bands are everywhere. In Burbank they're at the mall every other week right next to the Scientology stress test. Warding off giant guinea pigs makes sense seeing how they can't possibly be there because people actually buy the music.
