Not sure if this is the right place for it, but we have Heroes and Lost threads here that mostly discuss the shows themselves. But yeah, I realized I missed a couple episodes in the middle of the current season.

I watched Over Logging and Super Fun Time, both ridiculously hilarious. I loved the Close Encounters reference in Over Logging, has anyone else seen it?

Is Super Fun Time the last one from last year, with the Burger King robbers and the historical reenactmant park? That one was great, with Butters' best moment ever at the end. "Teacher, my partner is back on the bus!"

Last week's new one was good. A nice small character episode, watching Cartman trying to weasel his way out of the fight was great.

Yeah Super Fun Time was that. Sheriff McLawDog :lol:

Last weeks was pretty good, I enjoyed the Snatch and There Will Be Blood part. "Eric, did you just crap on my desk?" :lol:

And we can attach this to Mark's SP thread and make that an official one. But that has quite a few pages of random stuff.



EDIT: Ah I love to share my hate for Philip Glass, and this is the perfect thread for it. Watch this video. The joke happens towards the end.

The Close Encounters reference in "Over Logging" had me in hysterics, in an already excellent episode.

But my favourite is "Super Fun Time", mainly as I work at a historical park (Sovereign Hill, 1850's on the Goldfields in Victoria, to be precise!) and can relate to the frustration of the visitors.

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

So far, this season has been excellent. First, the now-infamous raped-Indy episode . . . an instant classic.

Then, the Breast Cancer Awareness show. Another classic.

The most recent one, which began as a Peruvian flute band episode and ended up being an awesome Cloverfield parody, was also excellent.

I love this show.

I need to watch last week's episode, which is the flute band one. This season has been great, but I don't think many realized they took a break midseason. This is still the same one back with the Britney Spears episode and Major Boobage making fun of Heavy Metal.

Not to mention Blaire Witch, and every other "home video movie".
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

Right you are.

Me, I love both The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield; but that is definitely a mockable genre.

The live-action Guinea pigs were what made me laugh the hardest. They just look so (intentionally) crap; it's hilarious.

And the Cloverfield-esque sound effects were dead on.

Tonight's episode...?

Well, number one, fellas, kudos for getting an election episode out there about as quickly as humanly possible.

Number two, I found all of the town-reaction stuff to be pretty hilarious.

Number three, the actual Obama/McCain plot was just retarded. Not without its good moments, but it didn't feel like South Park to me; I expect biting satire, and instead I got Family Guy-esque randomness. It was funnier than it would have been on Family Guy, but in my world, that ain't saying much.

It definitely seemed like South Park to me. You also have to consider they probably just finished the episode before it had to air, so I thought it was pretty good for being made and aired under 24 hours.

The initial twist with Obama and McCain was great, but after that it all felt a little flat and predictable. Honestly I was hoping for something a bit more political, but what we got on that front was still good.

no, its the correct one, the guin. pig 2pt. episode was uber awful, and last night was just ehh, not really bad, not good. I kept waiting for a good laugh that never came.

However it started off with 2 home runs. I'm afraid its run its course though

I'll agree about last night's, it was overall pretty meh, but I enjoyed the guinea pig/mouse/rabbit/etc two parter. Craig's ribbing of the boys and the situations they keep ending up in was brilliant, and the Cloverfield parody was fun (says a Cloverfield lover). So far it's been better and more consistent than the first half of the season.

I liked elements of the presidential episode, like the reactions of the townspeople (like Bryant said). But I agree the main story was a bit weak, and overall it wasn't as good as the previous episodes.

the cloverfield part was weak, the pigs were worse. Dave and I both cringed, you guys here are the first people I've encounter who seem to like it. The only good part was Randy saying I'm soooooo startled.

I think they probably had last nights episode done several ways considering the outcome, the only recent part must have been about the grandmother, that actually was tastless even for them.
