By the looks of it South Park turned into a pop-culture spoof fest with an overdose of childish toilet humour. Probably explains why I no longer find the series funny. The only series I really followed were House M.D, Carnivale and Deadwood. Toilet humour has been dead to me ever since I was introduced to monty python.

I'm really disappointed at the direction this series took. It's as if they're just riding out their contract and don't even bother to try to come up with something original anymore.

You honestly think a lot of their old stuff was original? Exactly how far are we going back here because the early episodes were all about toilet humor. I think once you found out about Monty Python you just never turned back in general. It's all been done man and cartoons nowadays are all about pop-culture because they've done it all themselves as well lol.

if you mean to say monty python is terrible, then I agree it's not funny at all. one of the most overrated movies of all time

what are you talking about? There is no movie called 'monty python'
The monty python troupe made like four movies, which are you talking about?
The only one that is even mildly unfunny for me is The Meaning of Life, the rest are pretty much straight gold imo.

also it is hilarious to complain about South Park having too much toilet humor in the year 2013. I mean that is just hysterical.
ofc its toilet humor its fucking south park. its been toilet humor for literally 17 years straight.

ehh last week's was a lot better imo. This one was just okay.

I got excited when I saw they were going to see GRRM, there was a ton of potential humor that could've been had with him...then my heart sunk when all I got was dick jokes. Not only that, but I don't think there's much of a basis to the humor. Having watched both the show and read the books I don't really know what they're talking about. I mean yeah, GoT/ASOIAF is pretty gratuitous with the sex, but if anything it feels like there's far more female nudity. If they were breast jokes, it'd make a lot more sense and 1/3 of the episode wouldn't fall flat.

Anime Kennesi and the body snatchers reference at the end got a good laugh from me at least.

that is the whole point of it dude, to make shit up so that the fans of the show get mad. I'm really surprsed people keep saying that with south park's history of just making shit up lol.

With the way Americans can react to public showings of dick, it's really hard to tell whether they are being sarcastic or serious. Of course, this being Matt & Trey, it's more than likely the former.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up not having any action scene, just to troll people.

It's kind of how Butters keeps asking about when the dragons are coming but there's never any of them. It would be freaking hilarious to end with Black Friday cancelled or something.

Also the scene with anime Kenny was... jesus christ.

I think the weiner joke is moreso poking fun at hbo producers because their shows historically have shown a lot of gay weiners. Thankfully GRRM has worked closely with the show so AGoT hasn't devolved into that.

Well, they could only show the gay wieners that were already present in the books. And they did show 100% of all gay wieners that appeared in the books. In great detail.

My prediction is that there's a whole bunch of build up to something totally awesome and then we get a cliffhanger and have to wait a few years to get to the story's climax and resolution.

Just watching the new episode. Are there any potential rumors? I'm guessing not but just want to make sure.

Yes the 2nd part has a spoiler but they kinda mask it well if you aren't paying attention and don't actually know or not if it's a spoiler
