I loved it how the doctor asked Kyle, "Are you sure you haven't taken it up the hoo hoo?"

Announcer: "...for these two good friends."

Kyle: "We are NOT good friends!! This asshole gave me AIDS."

Announcer: "..for these two lovers."

I dunno... I just didn't think it was that funny.
Maybe next week will be better.

Re: South Park: Season Twelve

Just like the other AIDS joke episode, it had a really funny start but that one gag didn't sustain 21 minutes. That being said, I thought it was a decent enough start to the season.

Decent episode. Nice to see South Park back.

Hey, uhm, a week earlier my Tivo recorded a "Butters"
episode that looked to be a repeat so I deleted it. I hope
it was an older episode that I had already seen.

Anyone know for sure?

The most recent episode (Tonsil Trouble) was the season premiere so you should be good.

Mine recorded it as well, but it was the dedicated Butters episode where he follows his father to the bath house... special guest appearances by OJ Simpson, Gary Condit, and the Ramsey parents after "some Puerto Rican guy" "kills" Butters.

Yes I watched it anyway, and hummed the Bennigan's theme song repeatedly throughout the week. Good episode.

Re: South Park: Season Twelve

This was a pretty good episode. A little cruel how Cartman gave him Aids, but some funny bits. Especially the benefit concert.

Re: South Park: Season Twelve

Eventhough there wasn't too many laugh out loud moments, I liked this episode just because it took some much deserved shots at the media. I loved the bit where they broke in on the Clinton/Obama debate to talk about Britney Spears.

Re: South Park: Season Twelve

Yeah, I agree.
There weren't too many laugh out loud moments.
Just an average episode.

With a Britney, "leave her alone" episode, I figured they would have a Chris Crocker character in South Park or something

They took Butters to a psych ward.
It would be funny if we see him in there next week.

The reveal when they went in the hospital room and the top of her head was gone had me howling. It wasn't a great episode overall, but that alone was worth it.

Re: South Park: Season Twelve

Overall, that was a pretty funny episode. I guess that was the weirdest Diary Of Anne Frank parody that I've ever seen.

I liked Gerald's reaction to the Fox news report. "GASP! Killing our kids?"

The Heavy Metal references were more or less lost on me since the one time that I saw that movie, I had drank a bottle of Jim Beam and was incredibly drunk.

Re: South Park: Season Twelve

While I'm not too fond of Heavy Metal, I thought the episode was pretty funny.
I thought for sure there was going to be a "Parents who cheese, have kids who cheese" parody line.

Loved it when Kyle's mom found the cat in his underwear drawer.
Then his dad brought out the cat in a plastic baggie.
Then when his dad wanted to get hid of it, I thought he was going to try and flush it down the toilet.

So is that going to be their comment on the whole Eliot Spitzer scandal?

Join the club. I thought the Heavy Metal stuff was great. It brought back memories of the 80's and some of my friends then. We watched HM more than a few times after school.

Good episode.

I wish they had cut that because it already felt extremely dated. When the episode reruns in a month and a half, it'll be even more dated and when the DVD comes out in a year, Spitzer will barely be a memory.

Re: South Park: Season Twelve

We were thinking of watching a movie, but it got to be midnight so we just put on South Park instead. Afterwards, I popped in Heavy Metal for a few minutes, just so my wife (who'd never seen it) would get the references.

We ended up watching the whole thing. Damn, I felt like I was 14 again. That flick is so gloriously ridiculous that I can't help but revel in its awesome badness. Ah, sweet teenage memories of Cinemax free preview weekends!

Even my wife, who is not even remotely a member of its target age range or gender, enjoyed it!

And the episode was cool, too. The cats-in-the-attic stuff had me rolling. Nice twist to have Cartman do something heroic for a change.

Then it'll be a spoof of Paterson instead.

I don't know, the public figure confessing his sins while his wife stands stoically beside him has repeated enough times that you don't even have to relate it specifically to Spitzer. Sadly, it's a scene that has been pretty common in our recent culture. And as Aaron said, there'll be more in the future.

I did like Sheila's half-lidded squinty eyes and telling him, "Don't touch me!"

Never saw "Heavy Metal" but still enjoyed the cheesing sequences.

I think this has been mentioned before, but I re-discovered last night that all of Kenny's lines appear as actual lines in the closed captioning. Very funny, especially when he has a larger part like this week's ep, and you can't keep up with all the muffled lines.

I loved the HM references. Made me think these guys would make a great HM sequel.

I think it was a jab against no-longer-so-recent screenwriter strike. World Canadian Bureau had WGA initial (Writer's Guild of America), demanding Internet money.

Any episode where they goof on the Canadians is good in my book. Nothing against Canadians, but I love the South Park depictions of them.

Yes, that was obvious. What I meant was that the satire was politically nonsensical.

On the other hand, calling the World Canadian Bureau the WGA was freaking brilliant.
