The official South Park thread

I had no idea that the Shake Weight was a real product. I thought that Matt & Trey came up with the idea, then a friend of mine told me to YouTube it.

It's real. lol

They have them for guys too in case you are interested.

LIES!

If you watch any football at all you have seen that damned commercial.

I know exactly how Randy felt in this episode. Whenever I can't fall asleep I end up watching Food Network and they make it seem so easy to cook and in the end I have a huge mess and a decent but not great meal that I probably could have done on my own with half the dishes and time.

Agreed.

I have a crockpot meal going right now from something I seen this weekend.

And this episode, IMO, was on the best they've done in quite awhile.

They have gotten off to a strong start this season. Loved the Mexican episode last week. Such a great way to turn the discussion on it's head.

They are notorious for delivering their final product at the last minute, which means they can be as current as possible. Well, it finally bit them.

They had a power outage last night and were unable to complete work on tonight's episode. So it will air next week.

didnt know it was back on, some of last season was bunk, hopefully they pick it back up. I feel they went from genius to "how many times can we cuss and flash a penis" real quick.

just watched the first episode of the new season, the nsa themed one. it was ok. Maybe the problem is that I watch it online now vs comedy central but I swear its a story underneath a bunch of not creative profanity. They have fallen off the wagon

I think what makes them great is also their Achilles heel. They make an entire episode in 6 days. They deliver the final product to the network literally hours before it airs. That makes it great from skewering current events, but it also means they have to commit to a story very early on and hope the details materialize into something really good. Failing that, they opt for potty humor to fill in the rest of the half-hour.

theyve been doing that for ages though and the show had much more meaning in the past.

It could be that it is uncensored now though but I just feel like old south park vs. todays south park is like led zepplin vs ying yang twins.

Led zepplin sings every inch of my love while ying yang twins sing waitll you see my d***

I just watched that documentary "6 Days to Air". Really enlightening.

The first episode they ever created took 10 months. They eventually got down to 2 weeks. Then 10 days was the standard through their funniest seasons. Then they got down to 7 days and then 6. A lot of that has to do with the technology getting faster and faster.

Trey Parker really is a one-man show at times. Matt Stone is more like his hype man. Their "writers room" consisted of those two, Bill Hader, and a couple other people tossing out ideas onto a white board, but Trey is the script-writer. The guy might just be losing his touch.

yeah its a good special, i forgot about the old seasons being done much slower though. Watched it like a year ago. I was on wiki for south park earlier and Trey gets the "writer" notation for pretty much every episode ever made.

I saw it when it aired on Comedy Central, but it says it is available on Netflix, but I can't get it to stream.

Here is a link to it that works:

And now, randomly enough, South Park studios is streaming it on their own website.
