Cheese & Rice!Another lame episode.
TMI TMI TMI!@ Cartman
Judy last weeks episode about the royal wedding was badass, mr mckay's little rants is whatmade the episode awesome.
OK..so far this season has been meh..not extremely great..but tonight, so far I've been laughing my ass off...let's hope this episode continues to be good...since it's the last one.
"Its a condition called being a cynical asshole!"
lmao...I was going to quote the same thing...absolutely hilarious...
They got this feller down at the bowlin alley...and he gets up there and s his britches...
lol Steamy Ray Vaughn and Steamy Nicks.
this episode got me really scratching my head. Parker and Stone have said in many interviews how they don't want to overstay their welcome or butcher the comedy that they've established by becoming stale. They always mention George Lucas with the newer 3 Star Wars and the new Indiana Jones as examples of becoming out of touch with the brilliance that's already been established. They've pretty much said that they don't want to do that with South Park. So for me it's obvious this episode is about them. And I'm not one of those people that micro analyzes every episode.
in fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if this was the last episode despite being only the first run of this season. This episode was just very meta to me
No offense, but I think you're looking WAY too far into it. It was a funny episode to me, and I'm sure come October we'll see more South Park.
I really think this episode is an exception. It's not like I'm taking one scene and making a message out of it. They're in their 40s now and have said in TONS of interviews both that they really wanna end before they drop the ball and will have no problems doing it. So with that, and considering what all was in this entire episode, I don't think I'm stretching on my assumptions
Clearly they were picking on the Emo generation.
The centipad episode and the NCAA bashing episode were funny. The others have sucked hard though.
No the "City Sushi" has been the best so far...
You Japanese dog!
exactly what I was talking about

Oh, no.
That was my immediate thought after watching Wednesday night's midseason finale of South Park, led "You're Getting Old." Never before -- not even when Cartman fed Scott Tenorman's parents to him -- have I been so completely and utterly depressed by an episode of South Park. It felt like creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker were speaking their emotions through the show, and what they had to say wasn't good.
Take, for instance, Stan's sudden affliction of cynicism. Suddenly, he realizes, the things he liked before seemed like "sh*t." In fact, everything does to him, from the sun in the sky to the movie trailer for Mr. Popper's Penguins -- even the Police's album Synchronicity (fun fact: my favorite album of all time) sounds like literal bowel movements. Stan's lost his innocence with his tenth birthday, and it's a sad event. His friends give up on him because he threatens (or just annoys) their rose-colored view of the world. In the end, Stan's left alone, lying in his bad, depressed. That's how the episode ends! It certainly doesn't seem like a good omen for the mindset of Parker and Stone in regard to the show. But that isn't the most disgruntling part.
Randy and Sharon, Stan's parents, decide that Randy's antics are too repe ive, and that Randy is trying too hard to recapture glory he may have never had. "It's like the same story keeps happening every week, only it keeps getting more and more ridiculous," she says. If that isn't an indicator that Parker and Stone are unhappy with doing South Park, I don't know what is.
"I've been unhappy for a while now," Randy replies.
It's time to call out the emergency horns, because it seems to me like Parker and Stone are abandoning ship. With this being only the midseason finale, the show seems to have two choices: it could follow this episode up with a counterpoint that illustrates why they still enjoy doing the show, and have the show continue on beyond season 15.
Or, there's the much more likely option that this is the sign of the beginning of the end. Parker and Stone's contract with Comedy Central reportedly runs out after seven more episodes of the show. Then there's the fact that they've achieved success outside of South Park, with their new hit Broadway musical The Book of Mormon.
Doesn't it seem more likely that this is their hint to viewers that we're reaching the final stretch of South Park? I'm sure they'll deliver us a rousing series finale if that's the case, but I just don't know if I'm willing to say goodbye to Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. Or Butters -- least of all Butters.
Anyone who thinks last night's episode is a sudden sign Parker and Stone are tired of making South Park simply hasn't been paying attention to the last two seasons. The recent episodes have been mostly funny premises, but the writing itself has been horribly lazy.
The episode last season in which they smugly lampoon Inception (and even as a fan of that film I can admit there was a lot of potential with that idea) was written after they'd watched nothing but commercials and previews. That's the same lazy the people who made Epic Movie and all the other godawful spoof comedies do.
Yup, it looks like they're done after this season. 3 out of the 7 new episodes were hilarious, imho. But it also had some awful ones like "funnybot".
What? You admit that it seems like they're getting lazy with the insults and stories, but you don't think it's a sign that they're getting tired of it? If you didn't take anything away from the last 5 min or so then you're just being naive
Read closer. I was suggesting that the sense of ennui seen by you (and others) in the most recent episode has been painfully obvious for all of the last two seasons.
eh, I don't know about that. I mean I know it's obvious that the show has declined exponentially over the past couple years but nothing comes close to the last episode. I'll give you that it's obvious they haven't put in too much effort in the past couple seasons, but this episode just completely put it out there. They pretty much just admitted it
The shark was jumped the first episode after Imaginationland.
That season with soapbox derby or whatever was the final nail in the coffin.
