agree - the A+++ episodes are not as frequent as they used to be, but when they are on they are on. aside from this one, we also had the pirates one earlier in the year. everything about that episode was hilarious! there have been a few butters episodes and they are all awesome - the one where he caught his dad going to bathhouses or the pet cemetery. now im gonna let yall finish this thread, but i just have to say that the undercover cop is he greatest sub-plot of all time...of all time!
Loved it. Best episode in a LONG time. I am not a fan of the past few years of South Park, but they went back to the basics with this one. No celebrity crap, just kids being kids, naive to what roles they are actually playing. Just great
I want that. It would make for a funny side story. As others have said, thats a perfect role for butters
I'm kind of getting back into South Park this season. Been some funny stuff. I was listening to a podcast the other day and they were talking about how they hammer these episodes out like a week or two before it airs. That's pretty impressive.
i remember hearing an interview w/ them where they say they have created whole episodes, from writing to finishing in a few days. remember 2008 election/oceans 11 one from last year - they probably had a good chunk of it written beforehand, but that one came on the day after the election and they had it in the story that obama won. they also said the earlier episodes, which relied more on construction paper and scissors cost about $60/show to produce. thats a blair witch-level of sheer profit!
Was it the Bill Simmons's podcast? That one was pretty cool. Nice to hear some of the inside stuff, though I wish Matt hadn't been so evasive about Family Guy. If you're gonna attack it on the show, do it in real life too, dammit!
Nothing really groundbreaking, I've been saying Wrestling is a soap opera for rednecks and idiots for years. Did anyone else catch the Balloon Boy reference?
No, it wasn't very subtle, just hidden. When the Wrestling Teacher was reading the article in the Newspaper there was a small headline that said "Balloon Stunt is a Hoax" or something to that effect.
really shows you how quickly they do these episodes. pretty good, but i can't say it was a top 10 of all time for me.
I don't know if they'll ever top Eat. Pray. Queef. in my opinion. This season's been good so far, though.
