I laughed out loud the whole time Cartman was sneaking across the stage.

Another great episode! From the first minute to the last!

If you say it was that good, I guess I'll have to tell my Tivo to go look for the repeats...

The upcoming "Passion of the Easter Bunny" episode has the potential to break new grounds of offensiveness. This is a good thing.
phillybilly • Mar 18, 2004 3:39 pm
I mean I thought last nights part with Cartman & Kyle and Cartman saying he couldn't drop the num-chucks becuase his jew blood wouldn't let him get rid of something he paid money for!!

PRICELESS!!!

and then he went off about how Mel Gbison said Jew were evil, cold and something like that he says 'if the road warrior says so it must be true'

MAN!!:D


AND THE MESSAGE!!, yeah ultra violence OK, but nudity in our puritanical society..NO...GREAT PROGRAM!! I can't WAIT to see the passion of the Easter bunny!!!

Later!!! :rattat:

I mean there isn't much else to watch on the boob tube....

Plus the show ALWAYS has something to say and usually is it the sane and right thing!!

I thought it dragged a little.

And I guess the whole Kenny-killing tradition died years ago, but I miss it.

Oh my god yes. In the last several seasons it's moved away from the "Mr. Hanky" style humor and gone almost totally political. The older episodes are alright, I guess, but the last two seasons especially have been just freaking hilarious.

I love how sometimes you don't know what political statement they're making until way late in the show--like last night, seriously, did ANYONE see where they were going to go with it before the punchline was delivered in City Hall? Even when Cartman was on the stage, I didn't see it coming.

This is a new season, so I'm hoping this is the Kenny's revenge season, and he gets to maim someone in each episode. So by the end of the season, the whole town is sporting Kenny-related injuries.

Cartman's "wardrobe malfunction" was off-the-charts funny, but Butters (as usual) made the episode.

(Actually, it's hard to decide between Cartman's "invisibility," Cartman turning Kyle into a chicken or Butters-the-dog as my favorite highlight. Or maybe "Prove Mel Gibson wrong, Kyle.")

Some upcoming Season 8 episodes, from southparkstudios.com:

* South Park presents a very special Easter episode, "The Passion of the Easter Bunny."
* The kids "get served" when a group from a rival town challenges them to a dance-off.
* Cartman continues to terrorize Butters by pretending to be his new best friend.
* Cartman joins Jimmy in competing in the Special Olympics.
* Lemmiwinks makes his triumphant return to South Park.

Oh, and if Parker & Stone fans haven't seen the <a href="http://www.trioplus.tv/plus/princess/klean.html">Princess</a> shorts, they really need to do so. (Warning: annoyingly slow registration process)

The message that snuck up on me the most so far was the one in "Fun With Veal."

I almost pissed myself.

Holy shit, don't tell me that you actually _have_ a MetaFilter ID... I'll read their site now and then, but I gave up on their ridiculous "we're waiting for the irresponsible 95% of the Net to kill themselves, and only then will we reactivate the 'New User' button" philosophy long ago.

Up The Down Steroid wasn't quite up to last week's level, but wasn't bad, either. Where else on TV can you see a Special Olympian in the throes of violent 'roid rage?

And, GEEZ, Season 8 is one potshot after another at Mel Gibson, and the trailer for next week was cringe-inducing. I am _so_ there.
Happy Monkey • Mar 25, 2004 10:21 am
Eh. Pretty boilerplate. And it seems that Kenny won't be getting his revenge as I'd hoped.

But next week's looks good.
