South Park series discussion *spoilers*

Hah! How cool!

Hah! How cool!

Actually no, I just learned that everyone gets the second place prize.

 

[Bass]

Hah! How pathetic!

BEHOLD MY FLIP-FLOPPY ATTITUDE!

So most episodes this season has been pretty good though not amazing. But tonight's was freaking excellent.

 

[Iceshadow]

Unfortunately I missed it, I catch it tomorrow.

 

[Bass]

The 200th Episode was just ****ing superb!

 

[DARKKNIGHT]

I loved the part with Cartman talking to

I love it when they bring all their continuity together like this

The animation has only gotten better.

Next episode will be a terrance and phillip movie.

 

[Iceshadow]

That was excellent, I can't wait for the next one.

It was so funny. I did NOT see the Mr Hat - Mitch Connor link. That was ingenious.

Next episode will be a terrance and phillip movie.

I was wondering about this too!

 

[Planet-man]

The 200th brought back a lot of memories. My then-best friend and I were obsessed with the show when we were eight during the first seasons so it was really rewarding.... CGI Mecha-Streisand complete with the Diamond Of Pantheos was quite the moment.

 

[Bass]

That was terrific. Especially the moral of the story. And Cartman was so right about the whole, "I guarantee you more people are interested in who my father is." And Scott Tenorman's return was ingenious.

I thought that Tom Cruise was going to go to Imaginationland at the end, but I prefer the moon.

There was a gag I was expecting that they didn't do. You'd have a character, like the Muslim dad from SNUKE show up and he stands next to CENSORED and everyone goes, "Oh my God! They look exactly alike!"

 

[bluebeast]

And they had the scene from the Killing Joke in it. Epic.

 

[Dancanread]

This was pretty awesome, but I had the feeling that all the bleeping may not have been intentional on Trey and Matt's part. Especially since they had no issue saying CENSORED's name the previous week.

So now there's a message up at South Park studios in place of where the new episode would normally be streamed:

"We apologize that South Park Studios cannot stream episode 201 at this time.

After we delivered the show, and prior to broadcast, Comedy Central placed numerous additional audio bleeps throughout the episode. We do not have network approval to stream our original version of the show. We will bring you a new version of 201 as soon as we can."

 

[DARKKNIGHT]

I thought that Tom Cruise was going to go to Imaginationland at the end, but I prefer the moon.

I thought he was going to go live with Big Gay Al in his gay animal sanctuary.

 

[Planet-man]

I thought that Tom Cruise was going to go to Imaginationland at the end, but I prefer the moon.

I thought of Imaginationland first, but then I was sure it was going to be the cave of the Underpants Gnomes, going all the way back to the original, easy, harmless Tom Cruise joke of a simpler time.... he's short.

There was a gag I was expecting that they didn't do. You'd have a character, like the Muslim dad from SNUKE show up and he stands next to CENSORED and everyone goes, "Oh my God! They look exactly alike!"

That's pretty smart but it would be going against the fact that he's already been seen quite definitively on the show in the original SBF episode(which was also the original jab at Scientology, funnily enough) I think that's important to maintain.

And they had the scene from the Killing Joke in it. Epic.

The reveal that started that was awesome and maybe the most surprising moment of the episode for me. I also really wondered for a while if Cartman's dad was going to be Kevin Mephisto, and if Chef was going to come back, Darth or otherwise.

All in all this was probably my favourite one since the Go God Go two-parter(although Elementary School Musical and Guitar Queer-o were excellent), but I hated that they killed Pip. I hope they bring him back.

 

[Random]

It was just pure genius through and through. The bleeping got really annoying though it did make the moral funny. I was really hoping they'd show Muhammad though I guess it's not up to them. And I was expecting Darth Chef to show up when they were pulling out all the references they can muster up. And I remember laughing my ass off when I figured out it was going to be scott tenerman, and I didn't stop.

Great episode

 

[Iceshadow]

I tried to watch it on their website but they're waiting until they can stream an unbleeped version.

 

[Grocer Man]

Funny you should mention that.

Jon Stewart on the Daily Show just went on air and told the groups who wrote threats to Matt and Trey

Spoiler

to go **** themselves using the church choir from last night

 

[Iceshadow]

Saw it. I loved every second of it, from Mecha Streisand destroying Casa Bonita and Country Kitchen Buffet to the Cartman's dad reveal to Tom Cruise joining Willzyx on the moon.

 

[Dancanread]

It's official: none of the bleeps were Matt and Trey's idea. Here's their statement from South Park Studios.

 

[Planet-man]

I really want to hear those final speeches. Hopefully we'll at least get to see a copy of the script or something.

Ridiculous.

 

[Iceshadow]

"Shut up Mimsyyyy!"

Seems like it's been taken down.

"Shut up Mimsyyyy!"

I adored the title cards "Nathan has had a momentary lapse in judgment". And Towelie is always hysterical.

I wonder though, Matt and Trey are very against repeating ideas, their own or other people's, and yet, this episode had them repeat the "they have to hit the note for the bomb to go off" we saw back in season one or two with the "Loving You" song. I wonder if that was intentional or they forgot they already did that.

 

[Iceshadow]

Maybe intentional since they've also sort of had the characters as stand ins for old school cartoons before.

It was totally intentional. The campers are all Warner Brothers analogues, and the uke gag is an homage to a particular bit in this Bugs and Daffy cartoon. It's even the same melody! Jump to 4:37. Or just watch the whole thing cuz it's awesome.

[Bass]

Hee hee!

When I asked if it was 'intentional', what I meant was; were they aware they did a similar gag in the early seasons of SOUTH PARK? It's obvious that they were intentionally using Looney Toons for inspiration, but I'm wondering, since they hate to repeat ideas, if they just forgot they did this exact same gag like, twelve years ago. I'm just curious, it's not a criticism.
