South Park - Dead Celebrities

[Longhorny630]

The return of south park! Probably the funniest episode in a long time. Billy Mays, chipotle, and the return of Mr Jefferson! Don't be ignorant, ch'mona oh!

Meh. I'm getting sick of the 5-10 minutes of every episode dedicated to pointlessly spoofing movies/TV shows. The sixth sense, poltergeist, Ghost Hunters and a dash of little miss sunshine in this episode alone. Making a pop culture reference is good sometimes, but if you do it every episode, it makes it feel like they are struggling to fill minutes.

I loved the Chipotle bit though, that was pretty funny.

southpark dialogue has become a parody of pop culture, bad movies......

margaritaville, night of the living homeless, etc.

and it cracks me up. i am a big fan in the evolution of southpark. in fact, i don't even like the old ones really.

cartman evolution good.
stewie evolution bad.

What's ironic is that South Park has always made fun of Family Guy for being a pointless string of allusions to pop culture, yet that's precisely where they seem to be taking South Park.

I still enjoy it, but it's not a "can't miss" show for me anymore.

Well, South Park takes a whole episode and makes a parody of something with the references actually part of the storyline. Family guy just has somebody say "remember the time...." and adds a reference to it that has nothing to do with the actual plot. One actually takes some talent of writing, the other can be accomplished by manatees and little round balls. For instance, Night of the Living Homeless was hilarious, because homeless pretty much act exactly like that, searching in vain across the earth for change, which is a hilarious when you think of them as zombies. Family Guy would have just "remember the time..." and had some homeless guy appear.

South Park is still a can't miss show,

For me, it isn't, but of course everyone has his own taste.

UTEE, you nailed it. South Park used to separate itself, and now it is just joining in.

Longhorny, not to be rude, but I think you missed the point of the homeless episode. That wasn't making fun of homeless people's love of change, it was making fun of suburbia's irrational fear of the homeless. The characterization of the homeless was false, and meant only to counterpoint the citizen's reactions.

The odd thing is... I went though a period where I ate Chipotle twice a week for months. Veggie burrito bowl with just a lil' bit of rice, double black beans, double pico, corn, and a dollup of guacamole. I think I'll go get one now!!!!!!

 

[Longhorny630]

I never said the episode didn't have social commentary did I? I believe all I said was changing the analogy of zombies : brains is pretty damn funny when you make it homeless : change. Don't put words in my mouth

That is my whole shtick!
