More genre ripping - this time the post-apocalyptic!! by AdrianVeidt	Apr 16th, 2008 04:04:55 PM
I have to admit, the allusion to The Lottery in the Britney Spears episode was pretty brilliant... I hope they do some good Mad Max/Six String Samauri with this one!
or The Monsters are Due on Maple Street? by Freakemovie	Apr 16th, 2008 04:07:04 PM
The promo that's running on Comedy Central makes it look a little like "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street", a classic Twilight Zone episode in which people in a small town turn against each other after losing contact with the outside world. That would be awesome (but of course it's probably going to be hilarious anyway).
this sounds like an Earthsea book by Holodigm	Apr 16th, 2008 04:14:24 PM
The Farthest Shore. only replace "internet" with "magic". oh and replace "west" with "west beyond west".
It might riff on "The Hammer of Krugthar" by NormanJohnson	Apr 16th, 2008 04:19:56 PM
The famous sci-fi/fantasy story by mid-century Norwegian author Hansof Pansof... Or it might be Grapes of Wrath. Yeah... I think I might go with Grapes of Wrath.

Funny...and True by Rex Carsalot	Apr 16th, 2008 04:31:47 PM
At first I laughed at the "dumb" idea, and then thought about how much we'd turned over to it. I still get my news from TV, but I also mostly get it from the web. If that "went away"...still TV, but I'd be disturbed, as I always thought that TV was the polished, skewed version, and the net was more raw. Huh.
They probably use Comcast by gotham_night	Apr 16th, 2008 04:33:04 PM

so is the first half still only 7 eps? by Jett	Apr 16th, 2008 05:37:25 PM
that means just tonights and next weeks then its a long summer with no south park. These guys have to start doing more then 14 eps a season, it wouldn't be that hard to add 2 or 3 extra eps to each season

Anyone know what Randy's costume and speech at the end of the show were a reference to?
ghosts. by uss cygnus	Apr 16th, 2008 09:55:22 PM

porn simulator was pretty good by br1947	Apr 16th, 2008 10:18:44 PM
but the 'ectoplasm' scene was freaking hilarious. Still doesn't beat the singing penis \ mouse duet from last week tho
First two eps lame, last four pretty sweet. by Kid Idioteque	Apr 16th, 2008 10:24:12 PM
Let's hope they keep this up one more week heading into the "offseason."
On Deadly Ground by Musicballs	Apr 16th, 2008 10:42:25 PM
The last scene was a parody of On Deadly Ground. Randy was wearing Steven Seagal's jacket. Someone tell Vern so he can call the South Park creators assholes again.

Fire a warning shot at the internet! by skimn	Apr 17th, 2008 08:00:43 AM
I loved how Shelly couldn't live without messaging her "boyfriend" on the net, but in person, could hardly manage a sentence.
Awesome. So awesome. by SkidMarkedUndies	Apr 17th, 2008 09:12:52 AM
I love this show.

First two episodes did not suck by HarrysNemesis	Apr 17th, 2008 09:44:37 AM
And I'm not just sure about that, I'm HIV positive! Randy was great in last night's episode... surprised to see no Cartman, Kenny, etc... a very unusual episode... made a good point too... this is definitely the best overall season of the last few.
Damn that brought back memories... by missinglink	Apr 17th, 2008 09:47:22 AM
It has been way too long since Shelly was the angry, bitter sister who beat on Stan. Her reappearance was great. What was even better is that they didn't need or even show Cartman and yet put up quite possibly the best episode this year. Cartman is great in doses, but Kyle & Stan's families are almost as insane in a more traditional manner. More please!!!
Mad Props To Shelly by uss cygnus	Apr 17th, 2008 10:22:45 AM
She's the gift that keeps on giving. She's GREAT in small doses, like tonight.
Worst episode of south park ever? by Mazzke	Apr 17th, 2008 10:55:06 AM
I honestly think that could be THE least funny South Park I have ever seen. It was TERRIBLE. Ironically, last week penis mouse episode was one of the funniest. I'd guess the ordering was not a coincidence. They had to put this dog somewhere.
Randy... by ImperialMarchFace	Apr 17th, 2008 11:24:45 AM
...was the only funny part of last night's episode. The rest of it was amusing, I wasn't bored while watching it, but it definetely wasn't funny. It was an okay episode. Randy and the porn, though = gold.
"The Order of the Hand Will Rule!" by Deandome	Apr 17th, 2008 11:33:28 AM
To me, this ep. evoked the classic SNL skit w/Will Ferrell & David Allen Grier about the morning news show team that goes all Neandertal/Lord of the Flies when their teleprompter goes down. Will ends up killing DAG, hoisting his severed head & screams "I killed the weatherman...his strength is in me!"...then gnaws on his severed hand. Classic.
I loved it by _Maltheus_	Apr 17th, 2008 11:50:06 AM
Once of the best in years (arguably). Given where we're heading economically and how dependent we are on our toys, I especially appreciated the Great Depression homage. I don't think most people consider how addicted to the internet they are and South Park is best when it gets a serious message across in a non-preachy way (the overt preachy eps suck though). And of course, the climax of the episode had me laughing harder than I have in a long time. Brazilian fart porn was good too.
South Park's Still a Comedy, Right? by Aquatarkusman	Apr 17th, 2008 12:00:39 PM
One long, extended non-joke doesn't qualify, right?
They turned Randy into a lame, fuckling, one-note doofus! by captboulder	Apr 17th, 2008 12:04:26 PM
I like the guy turned in Guitar ep but this ep went and made him pathetic beyond belief!
A very uneven Ep by OGREISHERE	Apr 17th, 2008 12:27:58 PM
Not one I would wait with baited breathe to see again
I think its 4 Herc. by nalapou	Apr 17th, 2008 12:27:59 PM
Last night's, Cartoon Wars, Cartman jumping homeless people and Smug Alert. Oh and Mazzkie, no, the absolutely terrible Major Boobage was WAAAAAAAAAAY worse. Easily the worst episode since Wing.
Parker and Stone: Secret Republicans by Yamato	Apr 17th, 2008 12:37:58 PM
If you ask me, I think the politics (the never ending politics) of Parker and Stone have a very strong right wing undercurrent to them. I think if you take a look at what they attack these days all happen to be some what "leftish". I don't see Blackwater, Haliburton, illigal phone taps, torture or the Bush gov't in general ever being targeted. Before I get flamed by neo-cons, I did not say they should not attack the left. I just mean, I find that it is the left that seems to be always the target of these guys these days.
The final speech was Steven Segal by jccalhoun	Apr 17th, 2008 12:39:01 PM
I forget which movie it was but it was the one where Segal is up in Alaska fighting the evil oil companies who want to take the land. At the end he gives a speech where he says the oil companies are evil and keeping 100mpg cars off the streets.

It's not that they're conservative.... by drewlicious	Apr 17th, 2008 02:05:26 PM
It's that they hate conservatives less than liberals. Thats what they said themselves. As I remember when Kenny was knocked into a coma the Republican party got it pretty bad and it was a pretty apt criticism if you ask me. Exploiting tragedy for political gain is not excusable.
Trey and Matt by Dr Gregory House	Apr 17th, 2008 02:14:40 PM
If they have any political agenda/affiliation, it is Libertarian, and that is why they RULE (even though the last couple of seasons of SP haven't been as good, IMHO)
Yamato by MC-909	Apr 17th, 2008 02:49:47 PM
It's not that they put their political views into play during the episodes, it's that they just make fun of the stuff no one else is making fun of. Everyone makes fun of Bush, so why would they want to? If you really seriously haven't had your fill of jabs at W, then go watch that stupid-ass "Lil' Bush". Plus have you seen right-wing comedy? Holy fucking shit. Fox News had a "Daily Show" esque show that aired for like three episodes and it was the most retarded thing ever broadcast ANYWHERE. Matt & Trey help maintain the balance by NOT making fun of what everyone else is. Excellent episode BTW.
Better and Better by tme2nsb	Apr 17th, 2008 02:58:35 PM
Shit, last night's ep and Major Boobage are TIED for the best episodes this season. Much better than most of the episodes over the past THREE seasons. Can't wait for next weeks, AT ALL.
The Grapes of Wrath by thenatureboy	Apr 17th, 2008 03:31:59 PM
Most of the show was parodying the Grapes of Wrath. Especially when it went black and white and they were in the camp. And Randy is the man!
Lefties crying about being attacked by Razorback	Apr 17th, 2008 04:18:17 PM
Funny thing about that is that the boys covered this a while ago. When asked why they seem to attack the left a lot, they said it is because the left gets their balls all bunched up about it and that makes it funny. The republicans are so used to being attacked that all you are doing is preaching to the converted.
Oh, and "neo con" was coined for LIBERAL REPUBLICANS by Razorback	Apr 17th, 2008 04:22:00 PM
It shows how the left will latch onto the sound of something and make it an attack instead of dealing with what it actually means. Neo-con now means "evil republican" instead of what it was created to mean: "liberal republicans"
Loved The Episode by ktownman	Apr 17th, 2008 04:24:05 PM
The Satire message would likely be were more wired in then we are personal with people anymore and also the environment. Its simple to really effect change with the planet as simple as a 9 year old unplugging something and plugging it back in but everybody has there head up there asses to do something about it? Plus americans as a whole are pretty dumb. Media Whores to the Max. Also riff of satire of the american economy as awhole where there isnt very little growth and people thinks things will be better elsewhere and when they get there but the government will give you a little help et al this Bush give all americans 100.00 or something thats what i took from the 40 seconds of internet. You know for a crude show Matt and Trey are smart.

holy shit that was actually pretty freaky for a cartoon. the best of the season unquestionably. thank fuck there was no Cartman either, that guy was getting grating.

Thanks for solving the mystery. by Darkman	Apr 17th, 2008 08:38:40 PM
I was wondering what the ending referenced. Great episode, esp. the climax (yes, I went there) of Randy's quest for internet porn. BTW, could someone change the list? Britney didn't shoot her hair off. She blew her head off. It was funny the first couple weeks, but now, it's just embarrassing.

An uneven season. by Sithtastic	Apr 18th, 2008 12:43:38 AM
Eek A Penis and Canada on Strike are a little weak, save for their respective catch lines ("He's not your buddy, guy!" among my friends usually starts that dialogue chain everytime.) For me Major Boobage and A World Without Internet have been the best thus far. As for the satire, I would say Trey Parker and Matt Stone are libertarian at their core, but then there are the glaring exceptions like curing AIDs with money alone get my gears turning. Ultimately, I think they'r disgusted with the Left's faux self-righteousness as practiced by Hollywood and like to not-so-gently rake respective offenders over the coals. Overall, good stuff, thus far.
What a weak season by codefool	Apr 18th, 2008 11:15:20 AM
I was a little hopeful with improvements over the last three episodes. But I just watch this one and it ranks up there with Wing, Jackoffasours and the rest of the bad eps. I'm not even sure what the point of the eposide was or what point they were trying to make. I tried hard to suspend my disbelieve at the total non sense way they tried to protray the internet as working. But I couldn't even get a chuckle out of this ep. Here's hoping they come up with a classic before the end of this run.
Enough Already!! Bring Back ISAAC HAYES!! by thelordofhell	Apr 18th, 2008 01:25:29 PM
I've come to the conclusion that South Park went into decline since they got rid of Chef. Even though Scientology is a goddamn succubus, give Isaac his tree-fiddy or whatever he wants and get him back on the show.
Razorback by hst666	Apr 18th, 2008 02:05:02 PM
Neocons are not liberal Republicans. There is nothing liberal about neo-cons. To be liberal means to realize that we are al in this together and to understand that it is in our best interest and especially our economic interest to realize this fact. Neo-cons just have some ideology and a complete lack of regard for facts or pragmatism. Also, a seemingly complete lack of compassion for anyone but themselves.
Yes, neo-cons are liberals by _Maltheus_	Apr 18th, 2008 02:30:45 PM
Neo-cons ARE liberals. That is why Bush has outspent LBJ in domestic spending. That's why he's engaged in nation building. That's why he gets "creative" with the constitution. And it's hardly a surprise when you consider that the founder of the neo-con movement, Irving Kristol, was a Trotskyite and proud member of the Fourth International. Here's a direct quote from the founder, "Ever since I can remember, I've been a neo-something: a neo-Marxist, a neo-Trotskyist, a neo-liberal, a neo-conservative; in religion a neo-orthodox even while I was a neo-Trotskyist and a neo-Marxist. I'm going to end up a neo-that's all, neo dash nothing." For a counter example of a traditional, conservative Republican, see Ron Paul. But to call the neo-cons conservative is kind of missing the point. They wouldn't be 'neo' if they were. They'd just use the conservative label as is. And to make sure we're all clear on our definitions, conservatives are for small government, liberals are for big government. Every other definition is bullshit. And under the neo-cons, the government has never been bigger.
Neo Cons vs Libs. by codefool	Apr 18th, 2008 03:17:17 PM
Libs = Tax & Spend. Mindset: You are too stupid and incompetent to take care of your self, so we will steal from those who can and give to you the bear minimum to survive while we make you dependent on us. All of your money & kids are blong to us. Neo cons = Borrow & Spend & blow stuff up along the way. Create vasole states. Unlimited corportatism everyone's a customer anyway. Who cares if your job goes over seas, someone will still buy our crap. Libertians = Don't meddle in my business and I won't meddle in yours. Leave me alone man. If it doesn't bother me it isn't a crime.
How did they get away with Randy.... by drewlicious	Apr 18th, 2008 06:01:34 PM
Covered in his own spooge. "It was a ghost!!!" One thing's for sure, these guys know how movie genres work. Aside from Grapes of Wrath & Close Encounters the other jokes were parodies of style. In the first few mintues I caught tones similar to Dawn of the Dead and War of the Worlds and when they got to the internet itself it almost seemed like a Stargate/Independence Day reference. Why can't those idiotic spoof movies figure out that this is how its done?
