South Park: Season Thirteen (1 Viewer)

[Aaron Silverman]

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

cartman doing the bale batman voice had me rolling. it was spot on (funny to me cause bales batman voice is the worse thing ever)

 

[MarkHastings]

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.

Who else caught the leprechaun youtube refrence...say yeah!

 

[Mike Williams]

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.

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

 

[TravisR]

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

 

[Mr. Film]

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?

 

[Brent M]

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.

 

[Jim_C]

Brilliant episode tonight. I love SP.

 

[TravisR]

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.

 

[WillG]

Somehow I get the feeling that they really nailed that ending.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Great episode.

 

[Shad R]

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.

 

[Rhoq]

Terrance & Phillip in "Not Without My Anus 2"?

 

[Rhoq]

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.

 

[WillG]

That would be great. The first one was brilliant.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

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).
