Fancyarcher 350 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I like the premiere more then I thought I would. I was disappointed they took a non-specific "ambiguous" approach to white nationalism, but the stuff with Cartman & Alexa was hilarious at least, so there's that. Also the home commercial parodies were funny, but they went for longer then they should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher 350 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Well I can't like everything I suppose (my spelling grammar sucks BTW). It was a fine enough episode though, and a decent start to a season that's hopefully less story arc-focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,456 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 South Park 21x01 White People Renovating Houses Well, I thought it was funny! Randy's TV show was very funny; I normally wouldn't get the references at all, but every time we visit my wife's parents, I flip around on their cable system because I have't had cable myself for 5 years and counting now. This parody was SPOT ON, especially about how MANY hous renovating shows there are! Good stuff. Cartman with Heidi was also VERY funny. It's very relateable if you've been in a relationship you've known wouldn't work but wasn't over yet, or dating someone like that, or just can't come to grips with the part that comes after the honeymoon phase. Clever stuff All the Alexa/Siri/etc jokes were good too! Never got old. The rednecks filling in for Alexa, etc was pretty good, but their story overall was the weakest part of the episode. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 That's one of the catchiest songs South Park has made in a long time. Very relevant episode. South Park is on fire so far this young season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,456 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 South Park 21x02 Put It Down Well, that was great! I loved how we never saw President Garrison, just had people reacting to tweets from him, which was really a good satire of Trump's real twitter persona. Tweek continuing to freak out over what he tweeted was funnier and funnier, and everyone distracted driving over people while reading them was funnier and funnier too. It was great to see PC Principal back too, and the lesson Craig learns about sometimes your partner just needs to be heard and you don't need to provide a solution to what's troubling them is a great, great message that I learned the hard way after many girlfriends. The final culmination of everything into the song about not tweeting if you become president was just great. Good stuff all around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I wondered if Garrison was still president because he's in the classroom in the title sequence with his original complexion. Though that's just recycled stock footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,387 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Love how quickly this show can get an episode written, animated, and broadcast in order to ensure ultra-topicality. It's what keeps it fresh, funny and sharp after 20 years. And one of the many reasons why the Simpsons now looks sad and old ... I mean, Trump should be an open-goal for satirists. But they barely seem to have tackled him (although admittedly I don't make sure I see new Simpsons eps any more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,574 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I thought it was pretty good, definitely better than anything from the second half of the previous season, but not as good as episode 2. Randy exploiting the minority so he can be offended for him then acting as bad as he spoke against was a nice touch. Also it's nice to be reminded sometimes that the kids are still just kids.

Wojo 2,453 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I really hate the way Cartman says school. Nails on a chalkboard don't bother me but this does. Randy's treatment of Columbus is a pretty safe way to mock the movement against Confederate statues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,387 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Heh, Cartman's pronunciation of 'school' is hilarious to me. The Indian/Native American falling in love with Randy tickled me, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,574 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Yeah, it's pretty weak. It's obviously supposed to be a tie-in to the new game, but falls apart and isn't very funny.

Jay 37,456 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 South Park 21x04 Franchise Prequel Yep, that was pretty bad. I don't think I even laughed out loud once. The Weinstein joke was maybe the funniest thing. Oh well.

Holko 9,574 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 And what does that have to do with Zuckerberg? It's too random and unconnected to work, but not random enough to entertain purely with its randomness.

Sweeping Strings 2,387 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Weinstein joke was excellent, and I enjoyed the little digs at superhero franchise 'universe-building'. Hopefully with this season being standalone eps as opposed to an arc, there'll not be as many eps relating to 'The Fractured But Whole' game as there were previously with 'The Stick Of Truth'. That got a little wearying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,574 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Another weak episode.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It wasn't that bad. It was a huge improvement over last week's. Not sure where this Malcolm kid came from. Reminds me of the little Lecter locked up in the toilet paper episode. I zoned out during the rap songs until I listened to the lyrics, and they sound like they were made for the episode.

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Thoughts so far: 21x02 "Put It Down" Tied together pretty well, and the finale song is so incredibly timely. As for the opening song, did South Park have Jennifer Walshe as a guest composer? 21x05 "Hummels and Heroin" The first real classic episode in a long time, although I'm a little disappointed that the hummels' "special power" was so... ordinary. 21x06 "Sons a Witches" Meh. I'm going to make a wild guess and say that Comedy Central demanded a "witch-themed" episode to tie into that week's Broad City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,387 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I wondered was it some sort of riff on the 'witch-hunt' that has been set in motion by the Weinstein revelations, in addition to obviously tying in to it being Hallowe'en week.

Jay 37,456 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 South Park 21x07 Doubling Down Very strange episode, more dramatic than funny. I have really liked the Cartman/Heidi subplot they've had for a while but this episode wasn't a good continuation of it. Also, the Garrison presidential subplot really at odds with everything else, just felt jammed in and way too underdeveloped. It was also weird they drew everything like wintertime in the Colorado scenes; My wife was just in Colorado for a week and while it snowed a bit one day, nothing stuck to the ground and there certainly wasn't a layer of snow on the ground already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I thought the Heidi subplot was great because it shows the depths of Cartman's mind games and control. I was waiting for a medical or moral payoff to giving meat to the vegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,456 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yea, that was my problem, it seemed like they stuffed too many ideas into one episode, leaving them all underdeveloped. They could have mined an entire episode out of Cartman feeding her meat and her getting fat What was the dream sequence when Token's dad tells Cartman Heidi's dating Kyle a parody of?

Holko 9,574 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The most prominent reference is the Pink Elephant Parade from Dumbo when they get high or something. I love how when Kyle rises from the sea as Poseidon, his trident is actually a menorah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
