South Park has been bollocks since season 10, because everything is topical, the jokes are far more blatant and uninventive, there is barely any original story-telling, the pacing and music are getting far far far too formulaic, and the general 'random and inventive' factor of South Park has dropped to about 1/10 from being 10/10 in seasons 3-8 + 10. Like I said, here's hoping for something different, even though with the first episode being directly topical I very much doubt anything good will come of it  . I couldn't agree more, took the words right out of my mouth. RIP South Park stop being such a critic, this show was always funny for its crude humor imo. it made me chuckle and im sure others laughed as well. if you ask me it sounds like family guy is your favorite TV show I didn't say anything about the crude humour! I always loved it. All I'm saying is that the crudeness of Weight Gain 4000 >>>>> the crudeness of Pinewood Derby; or that the Asian-based humour card was far funnier in City Wok guy vs the Mongolians rather than Japanese people in kimonos vs Miami Dolphins etc. Simpsons is my favourite TV show and FG and (older) SP are equal 
Simpsons? Respect levels have risen :D

That episode is SP personified) That being said, I thought this episode for season 14 was great, I'd give it 7.5/10 Ofc it's still the 'new' South Park, but it had nice touches like the Chimp giving an interview on his talk show (9), the video game concept which was pretty obvious and not amazingly done but still funny (7), the really awesome version of sexual healing that Trey Parker sang (not funny but a nice touch) (7), the alien wizard idea (8). That was pretty hilarious actually. So there was at least some good absurdity for old school SP fans. reply to this guy + Show Spoiler +It's your SP personified. Christian Rock Hard/ Starvin' Marvin' in Space/ South Park is Gay/ Scott Tenorman Must Die is MY SP personified. I guess because for me, absurdity >>>> satire. Because absurdity requires original inventive humour, whereas satire is just exaggeration. Crab people is funnier than scientologists. Eric Cartman as a cop saying 'sir...ehstep out of the car' in Chickenlover is far funnier, to me, than simply having the phrase 'then I pull out my gun' recurring.
I mean if you look at old episodes they are just littered with hilarious absurdity, for example the crazy black guy who keeps turning up on Jesus and Pals talk show and says 'Well here's how I see it Montel, sure he may have touched a few kids, but the man makes beautiful music' when he is in fact not on the Montel Williams show and Michael Jackson is not the topic of conversation. Whatever satire there is in the old school South Park is basically very low key and a sideshow in the shows. Now SP is basically a 'satire' show.
And what's more, Cartman's voice in the early episodes was so perfect I can't think of a funnier voice. It's now been diluted down and there are very few 'no kitty this is my puff pie', 'I'm seriously you guys' or 'eh, you guys, get me dahn from hyah' phrases, which completely sucks for me.
I also completely disagree that the satire in the recent episodes has been intelligent. In my opinion it has been blatant, crass, course and crap. And yes, South Park has always been crude, but in a sort of 'you don't know what to expect' way. Now it's crude in a sort of 'they didn't put any imagination into this episode AGAIN and they are relying on simply being crude' way.
Ok I totally respect your opinion and i feel sorry for you that your favourite show has developed into something you don't like.
I think, however, it's worth to think about wether cartmans mom being a slut, elefants making love to pigs and kenny constantly dying would stay fresh for 14 seasons? I don't think so. It was hillarious at the time when it was all new but that shit isnt very unique or provocative anymore.
But again, i feel sorry for you. I would've whined like a pig if it switched from satire to family guy-humor in this season.

Thanks for respecting my opinion, I respect yours .
Those things you mentioned were never funny to me but I get your point. Although, for me, season 10 showed me that they could still do exactly what I like. I like 'Beth, bear mace that guy! And that guy!' just as much as any earlier season joke. Or the hilarious pose they invented for people going on the computer in the WoW one/ Al Gore typing into the mainframe. The sort of, up face pose that Cartman also does when he holds a taser and shouts 'BACK OFF MAN' to Trent Boyette. Genius .
Yes, I am indeed whining like a pig, good phrase to use  .
PS Dance Commander <3
these poses just make me lol so much:

HAHA that was a funny episode
golf got interesting
|
I loved it, and I think south park has improved every season, although the more recent seasons have all been incredible.
|
Pretty meh episode.
I loved the Chimpanzee scene though, it was great.
|
This was a funny episode.
I think many of you are critiquing it to the extreme. To the point where your just judging/analysing the episode and not just sitting back and enjoying it.
Btw, any of you watch that new Archer cartoon? Thats bloody hilarious!!!

Kenny saying REEEALLY and putting his hands on the table made me rofl so bad

I didn't get why the guys kept glancing at the women until the end, when Elin looks back at Tiger when he says he's glad she didn't get back at him by sleeping with a lot of men. But then I'm still not too sure.
And Elin looked kind of plump. I thought she would get a slim model, like Michelle did. It's because men make sure to be heard when they talk about how chivalrous and faithful they are, the glancing at the women was to make sure they were listening and also a sign that the men are indeed full of bullshit. "HOW COULD ANYONE THINK OF HAVING SEX WITH AN ATTRACTIVE WOMEN THEY LOOK AT, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOVE!!?" *glances at women to make sure she's present, hoping to score points* it's funny because it's obviously untrue and any guy knows that. not that we can't be faithful and responsible, but that we all have temptations and moments of weakness. um guys we have a turd in the punch bowl track his ip
LOL

had a few moments, but overall rather disappointing way to start a new season
|
The chimpanzee part was hilarious. The rest was OK but not great.

All good things come to an end, just learned that Season 15 will be the last season followed by a movie.
Sucks.

well they mentioned a few years ago that they hated making the shows while they made them but loved the results. I really doubt if they wanted to continue it wouldnt be picked up. It's comedy centrals flagship show.
|
I like how the women said nothing and had blank expressions the entire time, and that we weren't sure if they were buying it or not. I also loved the constant glances and at the very end Tiger's wife's glance back. Looks like the women aren't all that innocent either hahaha.

i think, i dare say i think i saw on the back shelf behnd them when they're in the game store in the first scene. on the self were boxes, each box had an SC2 race logo on it..maybe im just far too excited but the game, but im fairly sure i saw it. gunna check this
