South Park

What does everyone think of The Tale of Scrotie Mc Boogerballs. I liked the veiled criticisism of the Green Party!

My favorite scene ever:

I was really enjoying it up until "The F Word." I usually enjoy their Refuge in Audacity, Crosses the Line Twice, and allegorical approaches to satire. This episode...failed so hard at all of them while being horribly, horribly offensive and missing the point by so much it was just embarrassing. I haven't been able to look at the show in the same way since then.

I thought "The F Word" was hysterical. Actually, it was funnier the second time I watched it.

Maybe it's my love affair with linguistics, but damn.

(Before you call me "OMG HOMOPHOBE", keep in mind, I'm a Straight Gay.)

Also: Scrotie McBoogerballs was a hilarious sendup of True Art Is Offensive, Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory, and True Art Is Incomprehensible. I laughed so hard at the debates, becuase they reminded me of book discussions I've had in graduate-level courses.

Knowing my way around linguistics, I can see how that would make it funny. It was the mockery of James Byrd, Jr.'s death that really sealed my hatred moreso than the use of slurs.

Anyone catch the March 31 episode? I liked the Scarface recreation. And the bouncy balls. The scrote coat was gross, though.

Yes, the Scarface parody was Made Of Win. Though the scrotum-skin coat WAS Nausea Fuel.

Anyone in the mood for KFC now?

I had KFC for lunch today becuase of last night's episode.

The new episode was pretty good. I liked last weeks better though.

I love the completely off topic attacks on the catholic church scandal.

That episode was perfect.

@Sir Psycho Sexy: I think Mr. Garrison's entry and exist of transsexuality were more for pure squick and for showcasing how much of a Ralph Wiggun Garrison is than actually saying "transsexuals are whimsical idiotic Attention Whores" or something similar.

This episode would be funnier if I hadn't become an Un-person on Facebook a week ago.

I loved the facebook episode.

Yeah, I did too, but I thought it was a long time coming.

@Raw Power: Sadly, that's not how the fandom took it.

South Park is a natural Fan Dumb generator.

Very true.

But I'd like to go onto a message board without people going, "I WANT TO BECOME A DOLPHIN!" to any and all transsexual-related news and commentary.

so what did everyone think of "200"?

so many Continuity Nods it counted as both a Fanservice and a Crowning Moment Of Awesome

my only complaint is that they waited so long to call Tim Burton out

I pretty much don't know if I've liked this episode or not. Continiuity nods were mostly unfunny, like Jeniffer Lopez return, really. And the mystery of Cartman's father all over again...

On the other hand, ginger fundamentalists and theme song "Barbura, Barbura" for mecha-streisand? Pure win.

200 was the best episode in a long time.

Never have I anticipated the resolution of a cliffhanger more than 200.

As much as everyone else likes them, the attacks on Tim Burton and Jimmy Buffet just seemed like mean spirited Take That!'s at people who didn't really deserve it than anything else to me, but other than that this was awesome.

^Jimmy Buffet had previously gotten mocked in the episode where Cartman got HIV

Elton John dropped out of a benefit concert, so they got Buffet to replace him

in Cartman's words, "Nobody likes Jimmy Buffet except for frat boys and drunken housewives!" It's true.

also, keep in mind that they only accused Tim Burton of being unoriginal — they never said that he wasn't a good filmmaker

I like Burton, but you have to admit that he's been doing the same schtick for the past 20 years

^They did make fun of Danny Elfman, though and that is an unforgivable sin.

But, enough whining, who would have guessed that Mr. Hat was in Saigon with Mitch Connor?

did anyone else think Mecha-Streisand's Leitmotif sound like an evil version of Gamera?

200 is my favorite episode of the season so far.

The one with all the vomiting squicked me out big time.
