South Park Season 15 discussion

[Lee]

Well I thought last nights episode was great. Anyone else?

 

[klunderbunker]

Last night did exactly what South Park did best: it had something so insane and so ridiculous that it couldn't be real yet it actually had some good social commentary. We're so obsessed with getting the newest toy or newest gadget that we don't stop to think about what we might be getting into. No one in their right mind would sign a lease or a professional contract without reading it, but we do it daily for iTunes or programs we download or even games. Amazing how Stone and Parker come up with little things like that which we all just do without thinking about it.

I was asleep. I plan on catching it tonight though.

Nail on the head KB. Something we all take advantage of was brought to light in a pretty badass episode. Can you imagine if something even half that terrible happened because you simply didint read the agreement?




"cuttlefish & asparagus- or vanilla paste?"

Yeah southparkzone I think is the official site will probably have it on. Not for us Brits though.

This pretty much summed it up fantastically:

In a review by Ken Tucker for EW, he said "One of the little miracles of pop culture, South Park proceeds with its obsessions about the nature of freedom and the (im)precision of language, its mass-culture insults and its cult-culture shout-outs. It doesn't care whether we get all the references, or take offense at the jokes, which only makes us love it all the more. And which makes us masochists far happier than Kyle and the two people who were yoked together and made to form the "HUMANCENTiPAD", the title and subject of the season premiere. Joining together two wildly disparate elements, one of the best-known entities in the world (Apple and its products such as the iPad) and one of the least-known (the cult film The Human Centipede), the half-hour was an unspeakable pleasure. I mean that almost literally: If you told someone (or described in a blog post) that this week's South Park was about a new Steve Jobs invention that conjoins three humans, "mouth to butt-hole," their waste products powering a new tablet device — why, any decent person would be repulsed, correct?"

"Count me among the indecent, I'm afraid. The scabrously funny half-hour also worked in an additional plot about Cartman becoming petulantly enraged at his mother for not buying him an iPad and doing many spluttering variations on the old joke formula, "I like to get kissed before I get f—ed." Trey Parker and Matt Stone take their language seriously, which means that their South Park characters took the phrase literally, and the first thing you knew, Cartman was appearing on Dr. Phil being treated with Phil-istine piety as the victim of his mother's supposed assault. Combine both story lines — the HUMANCENTiPAD one hinged on the notion that people don't read the Apple agreements they sign off on, and thus allow themselves to be tracked at any location and human-centipeded — and you saw that the themes were Parker-Stone perennials: Knowledge really matters; many people are lazy and thus prey to exploitation. Humanist misanthropes, Parker and Stone are some kinda evangelical libertarians. All this, plus Highlander jokes. And was it a coincidence that in my TV market, at least, the first ad during the first commercial break was for the Motorola Xoom tablet? Brilliant touch."

I didn't think it was the greatest episode but it sure as hell wasn't the worst, it had its moments but other than that I thought it was pretty average.

 

[ABMorales787]

Is it on Comedy Central.com yet?

 

[Find'er Woo'er Ryder]

It should be Killjoy but I'm not to sure.

Last night's episode made me laugh with the shake weight. I was at work today and was scanning some shit in the sporting goods department and I noticed one for men and women. I got to thinking that guys don't reall need a shake weight because we got alot of "workouts" when we were younger; if you know what I mean haha.

 

[Lee]

The shakeweight episode was a while ago.

Have a check killjoy. We won't have access to it.

 

[ABMorales787]

Yup. It is.

 

[Sully]

Aww shit. I was asleep. I'll have to roll down over to South park studios...after I wake up from my next nap. Actually...it's 7pm...I might sleep all the way through...or really close. Well I'll watch it when I get home tomorrow.

Goodnight bitches.

 

[Sully]

I lied. I watched it now. I don't think I'll ever just skip reading a terms and agreement message again.

I've actually said before, these company's could pretty much do anything to anybody with these user agreements, considering nobody reads them...but South Park finally capitalized on the idea and did what they do best, being satire.

 

[Thriller Ant]

I loved the episode. Just another instance of the guys taking things we all do everyday (not reading user agreements, needed the newest gadget) and taking it to ridiculously hilarious lengths. I hope this episode sets the tone for the rest of the season.

 

[gd]

Leslie had some nice tits.

 

[TSG]

Great episode. I approve.

 

[Lee]

This weeks south park should be fucking ace. I hope it's an episode with the canadians again like they did with Sadam.

 

[Sully]

I have a strong feeling this week will be about Osama Bin Laden.

 

[Lee]

It's pretty much a given.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Someone needs to change their name to Sandy Cervix, stat.

 

[TSG]

"I wouldn't let Adam Sandler suck my saggy tits for one million dollars worth of Oprah's tampons."

 

[Lee]

AWKWARD!

NOt a bad episode, not a good episode. When Token laughed at first at Tyler Perry I was in stitches.

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

Haha, Yes! Token laughing at the shite Tyler Perry jokes and Obama's speech on Tyler Perry both had me cracking up.

 

[Lee]

And when he started paying money...great!

 

[Smooth Sexual Chocolate]

Yes! definitely the best running joke of the episode.

 

[Lee]

Though I have said "awkwaaaaard" in convo 3 times today.
