South Park: Season Fourteen - Page 4

post #91 of 147

Ron, to get me actually mad at you, you'd have to hate NASCAR and, I don't know, murder my sister or something.  smile.gif

 

If it doesn't interest you that's perfectly reasonable; I was just curious because "detest" is a rather strong word.  (Anyway, I am what you might call a casual NASCAR fan.)

oh.my.god.  That was awesome.  I can't believe what they did with the planes, though.

I imagine that episode will be getting some media attention/outrage in a day or two when they finally notice. Hell, I think there's a chance that the episode will be pulled.

post #94 of 147

Every once in a while, I think Matt and Trey pull a stunt like that to get back in the headlines again. I was surprised there wasn't a David Paterson cameo though, considering the subject matter.

post #95 of 147

I've been watching South Park since that original videotape was getting passed around Hollywood, and I think they may have finally gone a little too far for me.  Otherwise it was a decent episode.

 

Adam, I kept thinking of Fred Armisen's Paterson impersonation.  smile.gif

 there was a comment that randy made that in 10 months it wouldnt matter how we felt about the al'queda or something. i wonder what that meant.  as soon as i saw the planes i knew what they were gonna do. i was suprrised they shot bin laden at the end though.

post #97 of 147

Someone said something about what the families of the 9/11 victims would think about asking al-Qaeda for help, and Randy responded that they'd only need to worry about that for another 10 months.  I'm not sure what that meant either.

 

(Aside: this episode of Ugly Americans was much improved over the season premiere. smile.gif )

post #98 of 147

Yeah, I was also confused about the 10 months comment.  Were they trying to say that people only care about al-Qaeda around the anniversary of 9/11 each year?  That's 11 months away but at least in the ball park.  I can't think of anything else that makes sense.

It's ten months until the tenth anniversary of 9/11. The implication is that after ten years, no one has to tip toe around a national tragedy any more, much like we stopped giving deference to the families of the men and women killed at Pearl Harbor after a while.

I couldn't believe what they did with the planes, but then again you have to remember that these guys have made a career out of pushing boundaries. I guess they figured having Bin Laden capped in the head at the end would make everything ok and I have to admit I got a kick out of it. The highlight for me, though, was Snooki raping Cartman.....that was some funny shit.

My thoughts exactly.  I saw the planes and thought "No....they wouldn't do that".  And then "BOOM!"  LOL!  Man these guys can push the envelope.  I'm surprised it hasn't been talked about more in the news though.  I thought for sure we would have heard some rumblings by now.

I guess you had to have seen the Jersey Shore to really appreciate this episode. I have not so I didn't really enjoy the episode but I did like Randy yelling "Fuck New Jersey!" while raising the flag and al-Qaeda arriving in the 747's was funny but the rest of the episode fell flat for me. They can't all be classics though.

 I'm embarrassed to admit I've seen it.  It's like watching a humanity train wreck; you can't keep your eyes away from the carnage.

I'm not here to judge. biggrin.gif

I turned this episode off when they started spoofing Inception because I haven't seen it yet.  Was there anything that could be considered a serious spoiler for the movie?

^ It's not like they do a beat by beat parody but I'd recommend waiting until you see Inception to watch this episode.

post #107 of 147

I was going to ask the exact same question. Looks like this weeks episode will have to sit on the DVR until I see Inception.

post #108 of 147

Thanks for the tip!

post #109 of 147

I watched this episode without seeing the movie.

 

Most of it went right over my head.  It was barely

funny and I'm not certain I would have enjoyed it

more if I had actually seen Inception.

 

South Park really hasn't been as good lately as it

has been.

I saw Inception and the episode still wasn't funny. Matt and Trey didn't like a popular movie, what a surprise!

 

I thought the first episode (the NASCAR one) of the run was good and the second one (the New Jersey episode) was hilarious but this episode seems like the usual dud that occurs in the middle of a run of episodes. If you do an episode in less than a week before it airs, you're not always going to hit a homerun.

post #111 of 147

Thought it was the best episode of the season. Laughed pretty much from start to finish. The beatbox guy was the best. I didn't feel like it was a slam on Inception (which I liked) but it did point out the stupidity of it, like the overbearing soundtrack. What I like about South Park is how they can wrap a parody with their own story that works on its own. The hoarding backstory and Woodsy Owl conclusion had me in tears. It might also help that I once was Woodsy in a couple parades. biggrin.gif

post #112 of 147

Sometimes it seems like they use the manatees that supposedly writes the Family Guy jokes to put together their plots. I can see idea balls with "Hoarding" and "Inception".

Explains why the parody was so off-base. They hadn't actually seen Inception, so they were forced to make do using a parody as a reference. Bah.

The Coon returns this week!

post #116 of 147

It's cool of them to own up to it, but you'd think they would be more careful.

 

I wonder if there'll be a nod to Heath Ledger's Joker in the new Coon episode (I haven't seen the promos yet).

post #117 of 147

The sight gag of the final drilling plan was very naughty.

I was surprised that it's two episodes.

 

The "We don't just fuck the Earth, we D.P. it." joke was great.

Is the story continuing next week. I was wondering if it was that or they were just going for a Dark Knight-esque ending for The Coon.  

post #120 of 147

The whole "DP" thing and the diagram were probably the highlights of the episode.  And the Ctuhlhu reference.  smile.gif

 

Normally it would say something like "to be continued" if it were a two-parter, but who knows?
