Living Homeless!! The Last New
SOUTH PARK Till October!!

Good Season by canadianlou	Apr 18th, 2007 06:46:53 AM
This was a good season of South Park, with Naggers taking the prize for "most talked about episode"
It's been a funny season so far. by Dazzler69	Apr 18th, 2007 06:48:42 AM
I Liked the "24" type ep with Cartman. The "300" should have been with Cartman also.
An incredibly strong half season... by DanielKurland	Apr 18th, 2007 06:56:50 AM
The only episode I didn't think was great was the 24 parody, and even that wasn't a bad episode. If the second half of this season is as good, this season will reach the levels of season 5 or 8. Almost every episode HAS been a parody of something though...
The 300 episode by conniebrean1	Apr 18th, 2007 06:59:18 AM
wasn't really up to par with the others this season. Sure, the coffee making in slow motion was great, but overall it just didn't feel as strong.
That Garrison scissor sex episode by SithMenace	Apr 18th, 2007 07:35:19 AM
was weaker than weak. IMO one of the top ten worst episodes. Then again I don't like the episodes that barely have the kids in them.
...AICN shows no love... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 18th, 2007 07:36:51 AM
...why doesnt AICN show love for South Park like they do wit the other stoopid shows (stoopid shows= shows I dont watch cuz its after the 3rd season and to lazy to catch up on it)...anyway, this seasons been great, Im just waitin on a Catch a Predator or Heroes parody... PS: ...I am tired of seein Mr(s) Garrison havin crazy sex though...
One of my favourites by Affleckwasthebomb	Apr 18th, 2007 07:58:47 AM
This season for me so far has been one of my favourites. I've laughed so hard at every episode. Cartmen and the butters photo was too good. The episode with the Lice was just amazing. South Park will be known as one of the greatest TV shows ever....in about 20 years.
Would they dare... by uss cygnus	Apr 18th, 2007 08:01:13 AM
Have the manager of City Wok, through a series of misunderstandings, barracade himself inside of South Park Elementary leading people to think...you get the idea. I'm not sayin'...I'm just sayin'...you know how they are with topical humor and turning around episodes for topical events at the last minute (IE Elian Gonzalez)...
"You have to be careful with scissors." by SpyGuy	Apr 18th, 2007 08:07:13 AM
That Butters quote has to be one of the best from this season so far. I think my current Season 10 favorite is the Easter episode, if only for Kyle's reaction when Jesus asks Kyle to kill him.
I think it would be great cygnus by SithMenace	Apr 18th, 2007 08:13:48 AM
But you know way too many people would get offended by that in our overly PC world. Plus the way the media is blowing this out of proportion is making people think it's the next 9/11. I'm surprised Leno didn't take a week off because "comedy is inappropriate right now". At least it got rid of Anna Nicole and Imus, which are two subjects SP should also tackle.
"We call ourselves..." by SithMenace	Apr 18th, 2007 08:15:47 AM
"The Hare Club For Men".
Great season so far by darquelyte	Apr 18th, 2007 08:24:16 AM
Lots of laughs this season. Some really great quotable lines. South Park has really come on strong after some so so outings.
Presenting.... by Banditmania	Apr 18th, 2007 08:36:51 AM
Mr. Hankey's Underground Hobo Haven.
Haven't seen the season yet. by DerLanghaarige	Apr 18th, 2007 08:37:18 AM
How many episodes of it were videogame commercials?
Good season so far. by Richard Cranium	Apr 18th, 2007 08:38:19 AM
I was lukewarm on the 300 ep (perhaps because I missed seeing 300), but I've enjoyed the rest of them. And I don't think showing a little bit of respect for the dead would be classified as a case of 'PC rum amok'. I know they love to push the envelope as far as it'll go, but I'd say even they'd consider that too much. Maybe a couple months down the road, but not after 2 days.
There's no way they'll do a Virginia Tech ep by Holodigm	Apr 18th, 2007 08:57:36 AM
Not out of respect for the incident, but because it happened two days ago. They're fast, but they're not THAT fast.
They'll do a VT ep... by ginrei724	Apr 18th, 2007 09:02:25 AM
But not for a while. They did a 9/11 episode (at least one, my mind's fuzzy now), but years after. They also did manbearpig, and that... that still may have been too soon.
ginrei by Holodigm	Apr 18th, 2007 09:09:00 AM
they did a 9/11 episode only weeks after - it might even have been still in september, but i could be wrong about it. i do remember, though, that they were the first program to come back on the air and actually incorporate into the show, let alone just mention it like snl did.
my mistake by Holodigm	Apr 18th, 2007 09:10:55 AM
it aired november 7.
But that's the point by SithMenace	Apr 18th, 2007 09:23:39 AM
This isn't anywhere near the caliber of 9/11, but the media is treating it like it is. I'm all for respect for the dead but the media is making this out to be a much bigger deal than it actually is. And everyone's buying it. Is it sad? Of course it is, but prepare to be bombarded for weeks or months to come so that the mass media can make their money. But if South Park made an episode about it, everyone would attack them for exploiting a tragedy.
Crappy season so far by Jugdish	Apr 18th, 2007 09:35:49 AM
Its safe to say that the guys from Colorado have lost their touch. How do you f#ck up an episode based on 24?
Scissor me timbers! by Kneel Before XOD	Apr 18th, 2007 10:05:01 AM
Best line ever.
Homeless episode... by bollhatergc	Apr 18th, 2007 10:44:31 AM
TOO SOON!!!!

Herc, you're ruining the ending to 11.3. by The Garbage Man	Apr 18th, 2007 11:34:08 AM
C'mon, don't be that guy.
very solid season by BLWiseass	Apr 18th, 2007 11:46:04 AM
last fallw as a little weak outside of the world of warcraft ep but this season has been great
I agree, no more Garrison sex scenes please! by TimBenzedrine	Apr 18th, 2007 11:57:12 AM
I had about enough after the Nintendo Wii episode.(and that was an otherwise perfect episode)
No Need for a V Tech Episode by CVB784	Apr 18th, 2007 12:00:46 PM
It is too soon, and I'm not so sure there will ever be a reason to do an episode. SP generally pokes fun at media reaction and loons who take things too far. 31 college students were lined up and shot dead. Not a very funny scenario.
Why so few episodes? by Miracleman	Apr 18th, 2007 12:16:24 PM
What's the deal with Parker & Stone making so few episodes every season? Is it really that difficult to make 22 episodes every year? It's not like there's a huge turnaround time on the episodes (each one only takes about a week to make, if I'm not mistaken). It's not like they're busy making anything else...
Yeah, What's with you People and V Tech? by 12-GAUGE	Apr 18th, 2007 12:18:55 PM
The Sept 11th episode existed, but it was a few months later and it wasn't about the actual Sept. 11th attacks. It was lampooning Bin Laden and international affairs. What would a V Tech episode be about at this point? How in the hell is this a PC issue right now?
the Easter episode was a new low by Rupee88	Apr 18th, 2007 12:33:37 PM
These guys are just phoning it in way too often.
They never did a "9/11 Episode" by areynol2	Apr 18th, 2007 12:43:30 PM
The first was making fun of bin Laden, and I don't even think it mentioned 9/11. The second was satire of the conspiracy theorists. And on the topic of a Virginia Tech episode, it will never happen and with good reason. One of South Park's major demographics is college students, for who the shooting really hit home. Also, Matt and Trey know where the line is, and that would be way over it.
Scissor Me Timbers! by erichaislar	Apr 18th, 2007 12:49:45 PM
Had me laughing my ass off.
I was hoping for a IMUS episode by erichaislar	Apr 18th, 2007 12:51:46 PM
but by the time they comeback in Oct it will be long forgotten.
...VTech and South Park... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 18th, 2007 01:37:40 PM
...Trey and Matt will prolly not do a episode on the shootin cuz its not really funny...I mean, not sayin that they have lines they dont cross, they just find which lines shouldnt be crossed but is funny when crossed...I mean, they did make 2 Steve Irwin dead jokes cuz it was funny...only way they could a Vtech ep if like someone said earlier, it would feature the city wok guy
they usually do stuff thats clever by LarryTheCableGuy	Apr 18th, 2007 01:45:58 PM
they wont make an episode making fun of the killings, but if the publics reaction is ridiculous, like dr phil blaming videogames or something, like he did, they may tap on that. but i don't think they'll do it, by october this'll probaly be old news.

The Imus thing by Jack Burton	Apr 18th, 2007 02:57:46 PM
The first episode after the break dealt with all the celebrity racists so it's already been covered. The 300 parody was damn funny. I also liked the Mexicans summarizing The Old Man and the Sea for the boys.
"This isn't anywhere near the caliber of 9/11" by J-Dizzle	Apr 18th, 2007 03:00:54 PM
No, you're right, it isn't. But it doesn't mean its any less tragic. 32 people (mostly kids) were massacred for absolutely no reason. Believe it or not its A BIG DEAL (to say the least). In my opinion the amount of media coverage its been given is appropriate.
scissor me timbers, team america was their 9/11 ep by wcoop893	Apr 18th, 2007 03:31:07 PM
great movie. great season so far. somehow i missed the first one though, but i think i saw the highlight on youtube, you crazy naggers
The 300 episode by Banky the Hack	Apr 18th, 2007 03:43:14 PM
was brilliant if just for the fact that they substituted in another legitimate region of Greece for Sparta. If only there'd been a Sappho joke in there (hell, there may have been and I just missed it).
I'm a little dismayed to learn... by Childe Roland	Apr 18th, 2007 04:15:48 PM
...that, apparently, in order for something to be considered a tragedy worthy of anything but dismissal or ridicule in the post 9-11 world, it must involve a higher body count. The last six and a half years have really fucked a lot of people up on a fundamental level, it seems. I can't imagine how Trey or Matt would find anything about the shooting itself funny. The completely whacked out pre-emptive responses to it, though? Yeah, I guess those are funny in a what-the-fuck-is-the-matter-wi th-you-people kind of way.
32 kids die every day in sout central LA by BadMrWonka	Apr 18th, 2007 04:17:35 PM
but they're poor minorities, so it's not a tragedy.
cmon by jedimindflayer	Apr 18th, 2007 04:24:21 PM
herc gives a little love to south park- more if there was an ep. written by joss whedon ;) at any rate, this really has been the best 1/2 season since the 1st half of 8 (fun with weapons, etc). some of the best parody yet- especially d-yikes. the only thing that would have made this season better would have been cartman finding out about kyle the jesus-killing jew. god, they could do a whole episode just on THAT (maybe october)
re: BadMrWonka by 12-GAUGE	Apr 18th, 2007 04:42:19 PM
Latest stats say 6 people killed in the last 4 months in Compton. Above average, yes. Bad, yes. Same situation as systematic, mass murder in a two hour period? Let's not qualify tragedy this soon.
THIS IS LES BO! by skycrapper	Apr 18th, 2007 04:55:26 PM
Funny stuff...that is all.
Damn naggers! by JackPumpkinhead	Apr 18th, 2007 04:59:41 PM
Now they will keep nagging about new episodes until autumn!
What I've seen this season hasn't been encouraging by INWOsuxRED	Apr 18th, 2007 07:50:00 PM
I get the feeling the hardcore positive responses here are more due to the fact that so many people have given up on this show. The people that haven't given up seem to all want an episode based on a specific thing, rather than episodes that are funny and well written. The last few years, every South Park feels like it is a homework assignment that was started at the last possible second. I guess when you make it into syndication, any extra episodes you can make have pretty much made tons of money before they even air, so I can't totally blame them.
uggh... by datachasm	Apr 18th, 2007 08:08:41 PM
this Season has been half assed at best... episodes 1 was awesome, 2 pretty good... from there out it was junk. last weeks really showed how they are making the episodes on the fly instead of working on it with the trendy 300 references. i suppose tonight will be the same only referring to Grindhouse. thumbs down! kill South Park already and make way for something fresh.
This episode is fucking excellent!! by FrixFrixFrix	Apr 18th, 2007 09:22:11 PM
chaaaannge!
excellent summary of the entire Romero quadrilogy by FrixFrixFrix	Apr 18th, 2007 09:28:23 PM
I love it!
datachasm by FrixFrixFrix	Apr 18th, 2007 09:31:25 PM
obviously you are not well versed in zombie cinema. could it get any more obvious as to what the episode would spoof than titling it "Night of the Living Homeless"? Maybe you've just got Grindhouse on the brain
they've done Zack Snyder reference in the past two eps by Jarek	Apr 18th, 2007 11:01:39 PM
Loved the zombie movie spoof tonight.... taking exact scenes from Day/Dawn of the Dead (both original and remake). And the "taking the easy way out" part ranks up there with the whale on the moon and the first suicide at the gay reprogramming camp as the most shockingly funny stuff they've done on South Park.
DAY OF THE DEAD! by George Newman	Apr 18th, 2007 11:23:23 PM
That laboratory scene was AWESOME! "He has immediately forgotten that I gave him change."
It was pretty good... by iamnicksaicnsn	Apr 18th, 2007 11:33:37 PM
not the best of this season, definitely the Easter episode was the best episode. This was pretty good though... pretty good.
Now if they only by ZombiKiller86	Apr 19th, 2007 01:23:15 AM
had one guy get ripped in half by a group of the homeless people for change, I would have said it was the single best episode of the season, but it was an excellent episode nonetheless.

and his anti-video game views soon...
one of my favorite top 10 now by WolfmanNards	Apr 19th, 2007 08:07:34 AM
First and foremost because I love zombie movies, and they had some great references without being to specific, and just broadly satirizing the genre. UNLIKE the 300 episode, which had some funny moments but was FAR to specific in references. You really had to see 300 to laugh at the les bos episode. I laughed my ass off when the guy on the roof turned into "one of them" and they had to blow his head off. And also, when the scientist tried to shoot himself in the head.
You could do some really biting satire if.... by uss cygnus	Apr 19th, 2007 09:39:18 AM
City Wok Manager locks himself in South Park Elementary, and is mistakenly thought to be a shooter. Rosie O'Donnell comes to town, demands all guns be collected, and they are. Criminals hijack the truck carrying guns out of South Park, and run wild through the town. Kids have to go to Don Imus's "Nappy Headed Ho Cancer Ranch", as he has the only stash of weapons left in the state...and we learn that gun laws only effect and hurt law abiding citizens, not the criminals who are going to buy guns and commit crimes wether no one has guns or everyone has guns, because even if you ban all guns in this country, you're going to have gun related violence the same as we do now. "Now that's what I call a "Sticky Situation!". Roll credits.
This episode speaks the truth! by Northridge	Apr 19th, 2007 10:00:15 AM
When I was a more naive boy, I gave $10 to a homeless guy. Later that night, I pasted by the same place, and the same wino had a beer can in his hand, and asked me for CHANNNGE again!
SIX EPISODES?????? by Russman	Apr 19th, 2007 10:37:13 AM
What the hell are these guys doing? I mean I know they work their asses off and get the show done 30 minutes before it airs, but come on give us at least 8 shows a half. I feel cheated with only getting six free South Parks every 6 months. Wahhhhhh I want more damnit!
I can't recall a season where South Park by skimn	Apr 19th, 2007 12:15:11 PM
was so specific in their parodies. They spoofed situations and styles, like anime, the Simpsons or computer graphics, but this is, unless I'm wrong, the first time they've centered entire episodes on parodies like "300" and "Day/Dawn Of The Dead" Or the "Thing" scene that Stan even called out in the lice episode. Are they pandering to the fanboys that love/loved those flicks for easy laughs? Granted I loved the slo-mo in "Les Bos", and last nights was funny from start to finish.
Russman: How about SEVEN episodes per half-season? by SpyGuy	Apr 19th, 2007 12:32:20 PM
14 total per season, just like it has been for years now.
This season seems so good... by _Maltheus_	Apr 19th, 2007 02:06:53 PM
...because the previous two seasons were so Goddamn awful. Trey must have taken his meds. He's not as ranty. No incredible laughs this season, but at least I'm laughing. They seem a lot more focused now on shocking scenes, rather than shocking situations. Like blowing people's heads off. I laugh when they do that, but I understand that it's a cheap laugh and nothing more. Still, I'm liking it. BTW, I believe this season constitutes a (minor) comeback, and THAT'S why I didn't just stop watching these last two seasons "if I hated it so much." Same goes for Lost, it's much better now (no doubt due to all the bitching in the first place). Haters serve a useful function, lovers are preaching to a choir that no one will ever listen to. As for season length, let's split the difference at six and a half episodes per half season.
...this seasons been great... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 19th, 2007 02:14:13 PM
...and last night was great...I mean we got a suicide gone wrong (which I always think bout since Fight Club) and "California--they're cool to the homeless"...I mean, anytime Cartman sings, its great...
In the end the homeless are at the Santa Monica Pier by TimBenzedrine	Apr 19th, 2007 03:21:39 PM
and one of them says something like "Matt lives over there" are they refering to Matt Stone?
Bad Mr. Wonka--you're an idiot by criticalbliss	Apr 19th, 2007 08:48:33 PM
You must think yourself so brave and high-minded by your idiotic statement. Anytime 32 people are mowed down (I guarantee some of them were--gasp--minorities) it is a tragedy. This was the highest mass-murder (on a college campus, no less) in American history. Of course it will garner news coverage. If this happened in an inner city school in Compton, we'd be experiencing the same thing. Quit trying to feel superior and be a real human being. P.S. I hope you don't have a concealed weapons permit. Ass.
Decent season. by silentbobfan	Apr 20th, 2007 03:05:28 AM
I thought this season was good overall. It wasn't the best but Hare Club for Men and Night of the Living Homeless were classics. I commend anyone who can dedicate an entire episode of a mainstream TV show to zombie films and also make a biting commentary on the homeless that doesn't pull any punches. I like how it gradually became a zombie parody much like last week's episode became a 300 parody.
Randy is comedy GOLD! "He's one of them, now." by tomthumbstallywhacker	Apr 20th, 2007 04:11:48 AM
Best ep. of the season so far, and actually ranks up there as one of my all time faves. Of course, this can be attributed to the Randy factor, his episodes are gold, pure gold, I tells ya...
Randy is an adult by ElPaw	Apr 20th, 2007 07:29:21 AM
Cartman
Kinda weak, guys by SPECTRE Agent	Apr 20th, 2007 10:42:58 AM
The worst South Park episodes are those that are just one-note jokes repeated again and again. At least comparing the homeless to the living dead made some sense (as opposed to the lesbians as Spartans thing, which was just random and only there because 300 was out) A good ep needs side jokes and b-plots. Otherwise all you get is "ooh, this like Dawn isn't it?" for the whole length. What they need to do is start focusing on the chracters again and less on the issues. Just compare the first zombie-themed episode with this one and see which id better: one is about Stan and his Wendy woes, Cartman as Hitler, and the quest for candy; the other features a tired analogy in the place of anything funny.
32 Kids per day are killed in South Central LA ??? by tritium	Apr 20th, 2007 02:52:12 PM
You must be getting your statistics from the same resources as Al Gore. What the F@(# !!! YES, I am certain that the death rate is very high...perhaps higher than most anywhere else in the Country. But I am also pretty certain it doesn't even average one per day. SECONDLY...how many of these deaths are directly due to their being involved in illegal gangs and drug activity?? That is a far cry from 32 complete innocents being summarily murdered / executed by a nut-case.
USS CYGNUS's City Wok idea by Filmrage	Apr 21st, 2007 04:15:58 AM
The SP guys are more cerebral than just imitating a scene from real life for its own sake. . . . . what they would probably do in that circumstance is do a parody of a news station going through faux conscience wracking over whether or not to air a certain tape. Its the hypocracy surrounding the tragedy that they would lampoon rather than take it head on.
