Can't believe that made it past standards and practices.

I'm not sure what was in the episode that was especially edgy (for South Park anyway) Except that Cartman called himself "The Coon" but since he wore a raccoon costume, it's fine.

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

I'm kinda surprised to see such high praise for this episode. Not that it was bad, I just didn't think it was anything that funny or memorable either.

Yeah, that's like when they have Cartman in black face. They get away with it because he's not doing Al Jolson, he just happens to be wearing black makeup all over his face. If you don't get the racial implications of black face, it slides right past you.

I guess it wasn't one of the more remarkable episodes they ever made, but anything where Cartman tries to promote himself and gets screwed over is great.

Although, I can see Al Sharpton or someone getting into a tizzy tomorrow over "The Coon"

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

I so see this as the beginning of a series of "Coon" episodes. I mean come-on who really believes that Mysterion's identity was revealed

Not laugh out loud funny in my opinion, but certainly entertaining

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

I liked this episode.

I thought it was funny how all the South Park citizens knew who Chaos was and even General Disarray was. They also confused Eric with Bruce Vilanch

Maybe it would have been funnier to others if this episode aired when The Dark Knight came out.

With Eric being the coon and the whole double meaning. When Eric was in the storage garage and Butters offered him something to drink, I thought maybe Eric would have asked for some grape juice.

Yeah, before all the other parodies hit the web...Parodying Batman is so overdone to me. Maybe that's why I didn't find it all that funny.

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

There were a couple of decent laughs in this one, but nothing classic. It was just OK.

I just hope I didn't have too much of The Dark Knight spoiled for the sake of a mediocre South Park episode!

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

It was as much a Watchmen parody as it was a Dark Knight parody. The plot didn't borrow terribly much from either.

Yeah, the most they really used was Rorschach and Batman's gravel voices and that was about it.

Good to know!

I'm currently rereading Watchmen. I read it almost 20 years ago and don't remember a thing! (I'll catch the movie on BD.)

OF course one thing to think of is that this episode followed "Ring", which is right now in my top 10 SPs of all time. Perhaps its a little funnier than it seems, it just had a tough act to follow

But last weeks episode was funny. This episode seemed more like "Let's see how cool we can make an episode...oh and we'll also throw in a few funny things." - it definitely relied on the viewer loving Batman enough to still be entertianed even when there wasn't anything to laugh at.

This episode was meant to be entertianing and not exactly funny.

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

I thought Cartman doing Christian Bale's Batman voice WOULD HAVE BEEN funny if no one could ever understand what he was saying. Other than the voice, they didn't really make any commentary on The Dark Knight at all.

The entire episode was a 22 minute buildup to Matt and Trey saying, "Hey, look, all of our child characters look exactly alike, even the girls."

Very, very weak episode.

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

I must be all wrong; I thought he was trying to be Rorshack from Watchmen; the references were far more similar then batman.

^ To me, it was a parody of both character's rough voices but the narration was more Watchmen than Batman.

I agree but I thought the overall "Coon" idea was more directed towards The Dark Knight then anything. Anyway, funny episode and so was the jonas brothers one before it. Looks like it's gonna be a good season.

April Fool's Day is on a Wednesday.
Anyone else think that Trey and Matt may fools us?
Or maybe even just have a themed show?

Thought the Watchmen/Batman episode was pretty weak. After the season premiere this one was a huge letdown, but I guess they can't all be gold.

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

This was an episode where (to paraphrase their commentaries) they cut back on the jokes in favor of making a point but it was a solid episode.

I laughed at cutting off the chicken's head to determine what to do and the economic reporter shooting himself on camera.

I haven't seen anything from this season yet!! So, for the most part you guys think South Park is back in top form? That's great news.

IMHO, South Park has been in "top form" since the 5th Season. Season 5 is when the series morphed itself into what it has become today.

That would be great. The first one was brilliant.

Re: South Park: Season Thirteen

Ugh, please, no.

I agree with TravisR about the highlights of this week's episode, but aside from those it was another just-OK show (albeit better than last week's).
