Penutlimate SOUTH PARK!!

Better be good by harrys_site_sucks	Apr 15th, 2009 03:15:00 PM
It's got Randy, so that usually means comedic gold. Last week's episodesucked major Fishsticks.

Penutlimate?!? by Thundercats73	Apr 15th, 2009 03:19:25 PM
Already?!? Feels like they just started up again.
I want Trey And Matt's job by spidercoz	Apr 15th, 2009 04:00:10 PM
work 7 weeks twice a year, must be fucking nice
whether you like it or not by itrainmonkeys	Apr 15th, 2009 04:02:46 PM
south park is huge in terms of influence and pop culture. even if you hated the fish sticks(dicks) episode you probably heard at least 5 of your friends say "do you like fish sticks?" after the episode aired. Sometimes I wonder if trey and matt come up with weird sayings and ideas just to see if people will jump on and try to be cool by reciting something south park said. after the manbearpig episode aired I couldn't believe how many people started saying "I'm super serial" instead of serious and shit like that. i'm looking forward to tonights episode. there hasn't been a bad south park in my opinion. just ones that aren't as epic as others.

Why is that capitalised in the press release?

You know it's true.
Uh-oh...Fast & Furious spoof? by MaxCalifornia.	Apr 15th, 2009 04:39:06 PM

Holy crap, I'm Randy and that was my wife by Squashua	Apr 15th, 2009 04:52:53 PM
on the scree... wait, brb, got a great idea for this application I'm working on...
I'm thinking... by T-RACE	Apr 15th, 2009 05:06:52 PM
Speed Racer and Fast and Furious parody.
Fairly weak season thus far. by Shermdawg	Apr 15th, 2009 05:09:22 PM
Hopefully the October run is better.
Whenever I hear 'PLAN' by DonnaDarko	Apr 15th, 2009 06:05:14 PM
I think of Battlestar Galactica - which Trey and Matt loved, btw. Nothing would make me happier than South Park tearing the BSG finale to shreds.
Okay, Bart... by Aquatarkusman	Apr 15th, 2009 06:10:28 PM
... we've got a lot of work to do on the car, so I'm going to pull you out of school for the next couple of weeks.
Weak season?! by BlindMessiah	Apr 15th, 2009 06:21:54 PM
This season has been great!
I am guessing that by Wheel99	Apr 15th, 2009 06:28:16 PM
they give the slot car steroroids.
DonnaDarko by RaveX	Apr 15th, 2009 07:25:19 PM
couple of years ago, at peabody awards, matt and trey said that BSG is off limits. although, in go god go pt.1 miss/mr/whatever garrison was behaving awfully a lot like six when around dawkins. now this isn't exactly tearing or making fun of galactica, but I guess it might mean that it isn't off limits, so the emphasis on "plan" in promos might be a sign that they're gonna blast battlestar finale tonight...
getting tired of Randy and racist Cartman, buddy by tvs_frank	Apr 15th, 2009 08:02:20 PM
might have been funny once, gotten reaaaallly old now
Impaired Viewing by OfficerJunior	Apr 15th, 2009 08:09:19 PM
I can only watch South Park stoned. After toking the show is genius with its social commentary and pop culture attacks. Clear eyed, it's a bad running joke thats been running for 10 years.
brings back memories of boy scouts by Rufferto	Apr 15th, 2009 08:46:26 PM
I never won and everyone seemed better at building their car then we were. I'm not sure that I learned much that was useful in BS. I was led to believe it would be fun. It was more like an extra hour of gym class except with voluntary studying involved. Like kids don't have enough of that in school where it's actually important. False advertising.
This is already amazing by BlindMessiah	Apr 15th, 2009 09:06:15 PM
The Troubled Rebel Princess was seen stealing the magnet... so good.
HAHAHAHA by kenjinattix	Apr 15th, 2009 09:08:40 PM
He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. He's okay. He's okay.
ID4...please make fun of ID4 by kenjinattix	Apr 15th, 2009 09:10:50 PM

ummmm....wow...didn't see that coming by kenjinattix	Apr 15th, 2009 09:13:38 PM

kenjinattix by T-RACE	Apr 15th, 2009 09:13:55 PM
I think they covered that plenty with the raping of Indiana Jones last season.
TREK PARODY BABY!!! by J-Dizzle	Apr 15th, 2009 09:14:30 PM
I agree, this is already amazing!
I'm not even guessing anymore by BlindMessiah	Apr 15th, 2009 09:15:32 PM
I've thought they were doing a typical "Randy gets competitive" story, and then I decided they would be parodying "Angels and Demons", then I figured it'd be "Star Trek"... now we've got an alien Al Capone with a pelvis for a face. I quit. I'm not gonna try anymore.
ITS A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD??? by J-Dizzle	Apr 15th, 2009 09:21:41 PM

Easily one of the worst episodes by ShabbyBlue	Apr 15th, 2009 09:32:01 PM
I was really hoping they were going somewhere with this ridiculous plot, but the ending sucked as much as the rest of the episode. Wow...
Worst South Park Episode Ever by fiester	Apr 15th, 2009 09:32:08 PM
Can anyone think of a worse South Park episode than this one?
Guess there's no multi-part episodes this time... by ShabbyBlue	Apr 15th, 2009 09:34:33 PM
That seems to have become a new trend with the last couple seasons, but with just one more episode left for the first half of this season, it looks like we're not getting a really good 2 or 3-part story. Tonight's episode seemed really lazy and uninspired, which doesn't bode well for next week's final episode.
how dissapointing by T-RACE	Apr 15th, 2009 09:40:31 PM
I was really hoping they were going somewhere with that. It was just weird and bad. Hope the finale is better.
Yawn... by Anthony W	Apr 15th, 2009 11:29:49 PM
Wow. That was awful. What really sucks is I didn't see one thing that would have stopped this episode from being aired on Fox. Matt and Trey need to step it up.
You guys didn't think last week was worse?! by Raymar	Apr 15th, 2009 11:30:27 PM
This one is really funnier the second time around. Finland!
That was alright. by Shermdawg	Apr 15th, 2009 11:32:08 PM
Nowhere near as bad as y'all made it out to be.
Brilliant! by squarebird	Apr 15th, 2009 11:59:59 PM
Skewered the whole "Day the Earth Stood Still" (original 1951 version) liberal-guilt-we-deserve-to-be -punished-by-superior-beings-m entality. The ending was simply brilliant/stunning/jaw-droppin gly depressing all at the same time. Stomach punch ending rather than easy laugh!
Ung! by Castlemonster	Apr 16th, 2009 12:31:25 AM
I think it would be better if we all forgot that episode.
Not as bad as the Bolivian hamster episode by ReportAbuse	Apr 16th, 2009 12:34:07 AM
Or Ecuadoran giant gerbil bagpipe boy band or whatever it was. That one spread suckage over two eps.
you guys are crazy by degausser	Apr 16th, 2009 12:37:38 AM
That episode was hilarious. This season has been really strong.
Dude, Towelie/Oprah is classic now by George Newman	Apr 16th, 2009 12:38:00 AM
ManBearPig was horrible the first time it aired too, but now what do we think of it? That episode really did feel absolutely awful the first time, but it has grown extremely quotable and hilarious. heh, that all being said, I missed tonight's episode. sheepish grin But i'm still holding out hope
I enjoyed it by Bloo	Apr 16th, 2009 12:38:14 AM
and how many Alien species have visted Earth now and wasn't the "South Parkverse" already an alien reality show/sitcom (100th ep right, where Kenny takes the pictures of the ailen tv execs), shouldn't that have been reason enough for the aliens NOT to allow earth in? am I thinking way too hard about this episdoe?
I dont get it. And I fear I never will... by Your Moms Box	Apr 16th, 2009 12:41:01 AM
Why do the same people flame this board EVERY WEEK with "worst episode ever!" and "RIP South Park"??? Seriously! How can EACH EPISODE BE THE WORST EVER?? Are you people retarted? Does it make you feel good to go against the grain, to bash something every week? Why are you rooting for the show to fail, despite its success over all these years? And moreover, why the FUCK are you STILL watching every week??? After every new ep, I scan this talkback, and am utterly amazed with the amount of douchers there are that come out of the wood work for no other reason than to bash a show they cant stand yet cant stop watching. Get over yourselves, jit bags. South Park has yet to run its course. You, however, have.
I'll bet you 2 million space bucks... by Castlemonster	Apr 16th, 2009 12:53:29 AM
...that this was the worst episode.
THE OPRAH EPISODE WAS GREAT!!! by Shermdawg	Apr 16th, 2009 01:01:45 AM

I thought.... by The Dum Guy	Apr 16th, 2009 01:51:46 AM
It was making fun of the world as it is now to using the idea of money as a substitute to real value. They used space money to represent the worthless amount of value any paper printed currency is.
Bad, bad, bad episode. by gnarwhal_evan	Apr 16th, 2009 02:07:18 AM
They took a cool concept/good message and somehow fucked it up really bad. Oh well.
I wondered why Prez. Obama wasn't in this... by Jim Jam Bongs	Apr 16th, 2009 04:03:26 AM
And I wondered if Matt Parker had a thing against our President, but then when the final revelation of the plot came, I realized that he simply didn't want to make this episode seem like a political message by involving the President (regardless of who he is and which party he represents). Then I laughed.
always at their worst when by knowthyself	Apr 16th, 2009 07:51:52 AM
They are not making fun of pop culture. Terrible episode. Just awful.
fiester... by Darkman	Apr 16th, 2009 07:51:58 AM
Five words: "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina". That is all.
Knowthyself, yes they were... by Mr. N	Apr 16th, 2009 08:21:11 AM
...making fun of pop culture. They made fun of cop movies and alien movies, and star trek. Decent episode, just not enough Cartman.
episode started out brillant by logicalnoise01	Apr 16th, 2009 08:58:36 AM
ended up predictable. Called the "it's all a test" twist half way through. But the first ten minutes were solid. Best bits were princess marsh, hollis' end, his son's reaction and finland.
Horrible episode by NIGHTWINGKEN	Apr 16th, 2009 08:59:21 AM
they really are stinking up the joint this year.
"Pinewood Derby" was by harrys_site_sucks	Apr 16th, 2009 09:22:41 AM

"So we're the FIRST aliens you've ever met?" by skimn	Apr 16th, 2009 09:23:05 AM
Maybe not brilliant like the Earth as reality series concept, but even less than great episodes have funny things to take away from, and Matt and Trey do layer the parodies atop each other...Star Trek, Day The Earth Stood Still, Star Wars, '30s gangster films..etc.

Worse season in awhile by Davidhessstation	Apr 16th, 2009 11:04:01 AM
Aside from the first episode that made fun of the Jonas Brothers/Disney, this season has been weak. Randy was one of my favorite characters and now even he isn't funny.
Don't know why you idiots complain by pleasebanme	Apr 16th, 2009 11:39:57 AM
Jonas Brothers, The Coon, and Fishsticks were all stellar. So far this season is a vast improvement over the last one. But yeah, I do agree, this episode sucked the dick.
fiester by MattmanReturns	Apr 16th, 2009 12:04:39 PM
The Oprah episode was pretty bad.
3D pinewood car by Anything But Tangerines	Apr 16th, 2009 12:07:19 PM
Was it season 4 or 5 when they started to say "fuck it" and abandon what made the show's animation special? I'm not asking for a return to paper stop-motion, but there is a line and they crossed it last night. I'll admit to the occasional chuckle at something unnecessarily detailed and realistic on SP, it can be funny if done right. If they now have to have a 3D model for a god damn pinewood car, even if it is the focus of the episode, it's gone too far. There is hardly any charm to the animation anymore. The characters and writing are keeping the show strong, but they do not warrant these epic productions and complex animation.
I agree that this episode was kind of weak by palooka_boy	Apr 16th, 2009 12:38:32 PM
It started off strong and kind of dragged toward the end, but overall this season has been a huge improvement from the last. Each week, the show has been consistently funny. And even as lame as last night's ended up, I'd still give it a 5 or a 6
Ya know.. by Harold-Sherbort	Apr 16th, 2009 12:45:04 PM
..for a show that's in it's 13th season, they still come up with some crazy ideas. This episode wasn't laugh out loud funny, but it was interesting enough. I'd like to see anyone have a show like this for 13 seasons, and still come up with something half as good as this episode.
Those damn Manatees by skimn	Apr 16th, 2009 12:52:45 PM
If Peter Griffin stated, "Remember the time I had to steal that whatzit disguised as royalty?", and cut to a Princess Leia gag, people would fall all over themselves complaining about another stupid non sequitar pop culture reference. South Park does the same thing, and its brilliant..of course the difference is all in the execution, but you get the idea.
Kayne West by Alientoast	Apr 16th, 2009 01:01:19 PM
Did you guys see on Kayne West's blog that he went into a Cheesecake Factory and the server brought him a plate of fishsticks? Haha classic.
That was great episode by DarthJedi	Apr 16th, 2009 01:21:34 PM
Hits a little too close to home though. We truly are a planet of morons.
Randy by mike1976	Apr 16th, 2009 01:34:46 PM
I hate the Randy-centric episodes.
Favorite Episodes by rookie116	Apr 16th, 2009 02:08:59 PM
Hey so I just started watching SP regularly starting from this season (late bloomer) so I just wanted to know which episodes i MUST SEE and which i should avoid. When I was a kid I watched some of the episodes from its earlier seasons and thought it was retarded as shit but after watching the WoW episode, More Crap and Guitar Queer-O, I started to love the show. I just love how it pokes fun of everything going on today... so I guess which episodes are subversive yet really awesome?
Doesn't that RETARTED guy...... by DrMorbius	Apr 16th, 2009 02:54:05 PM
....know that there will always be some that liked the Ep more than others, as well as those that hated it, and some that post just for the fun / hell of it? Maybe if he spent a little less time in HIS MOMS BOX......
Every Episode is gold.... by Doc_Hudson	Apr 16th, 2009 03:43:02 PM
And this one was solid....solid man. It's timed perfectly with that Keenau shitfest Earth Stood remake release on dvd....hmmm. I kinda wish Kevin hadn't already done the "this film sucks" with Jay and Silent Bob......about the message board haters....because all these peep here who show up relentlessly and trash South Park,...need an episode. And it too,..would be gold. But wildly misunderstood in the real world.....kinda like the "hatebackers". See,...I now christen you all "Hatebackers".
Every SP fanboy disagrees on each episode by jsarnold513	Apr 16th, 2009 03:45:18 PM
For example, a co-worker whose tastes and opinion I respect very much LOVED the Guinea Pig episodes from last season. I thought they were extremely lame except for Craig. I didn't think that Fishsticks was all that good, except for the Kanye stuff at the end. But I know there's someone out there who's a diehard fan and thinks last night's ep was the best ever. I guess that's a key to the show's lasting success. The one exception to all this being that godawful Oprah episode... that one just sucked.

Just watched it by kyle051554	Apr 16th, 2009 07:54:40 PM
Absolutely hilarious. Everyone who says that this episode sucked is crazy!
I thought it was really good!! by lonniebeale	Apr 16th, 2009 07:55:23 PM
A really good season so far.
The worst eps I could think of were both Randy-centric. by Raymar	Apr 16th, 2009 09:13:35 PM
The one with the bleeding statue and the one with the world's biggest crap. Small doses, gentlemen.
Who thought that was funny? by BeatsMe	Apr 16th, 2009 10:59:26 PM
It was not. It's been a decent season so far, but that was one of the worst ever.
South Park... by WS	Apr 16th, 2009 11:02:47 PM
I've really hated this season...and I'm wondering if I've grown out of the show and am no longer part of the target audience, or if Matt and Trey's "Haha! Everybody sucks but us!" shtick has started to sour. Some of the shows from these last two seasons felt like the writers just scanned the internet and picked out somebody's mildly funny message board posts and made episodes from them....
and... by WS	Apr 16th, 2009 11:04:34 PM
While I enjoyed seeing a joke thief like Mencia get called out (even if it is about two years too late)...it's not like Matt and Trey haven't stolen jokes before.
Does this invalidate all the other episodes with aliens? by The Great FuckTater	Apr 16th, 2009 11:53:06 PM
This is important.
That was great. Really enjoyed it by George Newman	Apr 17th, 2009 12:04:41 AM
Earth's leaders' and Randy's interactions with the Space Cops were awesome.
Maybe south park by lonniebeale	Apr 17th, 2009 01:43:33 AM
Has outgrown some of you. If you don't like, don't watch. I personally think some of the best television ever has come out of the last couple years of South Park.
Randy has been far funnier. This was one of the weaker Eps by G100	Apr 17th, 2009 03:28:27 AM
Leia was good, Nuking Finland was good, suicide dad good, but well.. that's it basically. 3 more gags than most shows but pretty dull for South Park. And BTW don't confuse an alien spaceship landing with an actual parody of every Science Fiction Movie that has an alien spaceship landing in it. Some people need to learn the difference between the Meet the Spartans idea of "satire" and the real thing. The Coon was a prime example of South Park falling on the wrong side of it and the plot of this was much the same and pretty meh. Luckily South Park still manages one or two good laughs even in the drearier Eps but to pretend it's all the same superb quality is absolute horseshit.
Australian PM by Symposium	Apr 17th, 2009 02:30:07 PM
Has changed. It isn't John Howard any more and hasn't been for a while.
sweet by 1st and only	Apr 17th, 2009 05:41:59 PM
not great but enjoyable as always. Its been a stellar season in my opinion though, the animation has kicked ass.needs more butters though!...and clyde
rookie216 by MrD	Apr 18th, 2009 01:20:29 AM
I think its best to watch the show from the start (and you can watch 'em all at SouthParkStudios.com), because the show has evolved considerably, and its often helpful to know the back story. BUT if I were to pick the best "relevant" episodes of the first 11 seasons, I'd go with the following: Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride, Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo (S1), Sexual Harassment Panda (S3), Timmy 2000, Chef Goes Nanners, Do the Handicapped Go To Hell/Probably, The Wacky Molestation Adventure (S4), Scott Tenorman Must Die, Cripplefight, Butter's Very Own Episode (S5), Red Hot Catholic Love (S6),*Death Camp of Tolerance*(S7), Up the Down Steroid, Goobacks, Douche and Turd, Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset, Woodland Critters Christmas (S8), Best Friends Forever, Two Days Befor the Day After Tomorrow, Ginger Kids, Trapped in the Closet (S9), Cartoon Wars I and II, Make Love Not Warcraft, Mystery of the Urinal Deuce, Go God Go I and II, (S10), With Apologies to Jessie Jackson, Cartman Sucks, Fantastic Easter Special, Imginationland Trilogy (S11) (Yep, there's a lot, but we are talking 11 seasons here).
Finland! by squarebird	Apr 18th, 2009 07:47:36 AM
Yes - that alone makes this a top episode. If you don't know why that is so funny ... google some Finnish history. The genius of SouthPark is that they don't explain the reference material for their parodies .. they assume the audience is informed or is smart enough to get informed.

Baby Fark McGeezax showed up and the words 'space cash' were first uttered, from that point on it was genius. It may not have been particularly clever or cohesive, but one thing it was, was batshit, random and absurd.
Space cash by squarebird	May 9th, 2009 04:54:09 PM
.. and Finland. All comedic Gold.
