Solid opening episode. Loved EA Sports Tiger Woods '11!

[bulletsponge]

finally a golf game that looks like fun

[Big Fo]

Solid opening episode. Loved EA Sports Tiger Woods '11!

EA Sports really outdid themselves this time.

[JediKooter]

Hit X to lie.

[BreizhManu]

Very solid episode and EA Sports Tiger Woods '11 looks great

[Doug5984]

Kenny was my favorite part of the episode, and it was solid- but not amazing.

[PackerFanatic]

Fantastic episode.

[molson]

Very funny. A lot of great subtle stuff. For some reason, I laughed out loud just at the way the guy at the head of the conference table slammed his fist to the table. I don't even know why that was so funny.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Great start to the season, much better than last season's stinker. Hope they can keep it up and be more consistent.

[DataKing]

Comedy gold if you ask me. I didn't know the title of the episode, and damn near pissed myself laughing when I heard Sexual Healing playing in the background at the end. :D

[jeff061]

I loved them being bored by the game of golf once the scandal died down.

[Big Fo]

EA Sports might sue Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

When our source at the company contacted us, he said that “soon after the airing of the episode the top beef were called in, even Peter Moore was informed of the situation” he continued to say that “before the episode aired the marketing folks were already worried, but now they have a lot more to worry about”. Our source later goes into details about a possible lawsuit, saying that “while I personally found the episode quite funny, there are definitely a few copyright infringements in there that I’m sure will be dealt with accordingly”.

Full article here. (http://www.dailyinformer.net/2010/03/21/ea-sports-to-sue-south-park-creators-over-tiger-woods-episode/)

Do they have any kind of case here? The article says it wouldn't be the first time something like this happened to Parker and Stone and they haven't lost a case yet. Hopefully that continues.

[terpkristin]

Guess it depends on who you ask:
EA: Rumors of lawsuit over South Park episode are 'nonsense' -- Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/22/ea-rumors-of-lawsuit-over-south-park-episode-are-nonsense/)
We contacted EA to get to the bottom of this, to which an EA spokesperson commented the rumored impending lawsuit is "nonsense." So, there you have it: EA is not suing over the episode. Nothing else to see here -- move along.

[JediKooter]

EA Sports might sue Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

A BANNED BOOK COMES OFF THE SHELVES AND INTO THE 4TH GRADE CLASSROOM
IN AN ALL-NEW "SOUTH PARK" ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL


NEW YORK, March 22, 2010 - The parents decide the kids are mature enough
to read a book that was formally banned in an all-new episode of "South
Park" titled "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs," premiering on
Wednesday, March 24 at 10:00 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL.

The boys are given a controversial book to read in school that both
excites and inspires them to write one of their own. When the boys
discover that Stan's mom has found their masterpiece, their new
motivation is how they can stay out of trouble.

[cartman]

awesome

[DeToxRox]

I enjoyed it. Not their best work but I got a lot of laughs.

[saldana]

i thought the best part of the whole thing was the last line by butters

[DataKing]

A bit disappointing if you ask me. While I appreciate (and agree with) the point they were trying to get across, the execution felt weak. I did enjoy watching the Kardashians get blown away though.

[cartman]

I'm wondering what Sarah Jessica Parker did to piss them off.

[jeff061]

Yeah, they were pretty brutal. The last scene almost sounded like they were making fun of how all that matters in Hollywood is that your attractive. Or they could have been playing on the "reading into something that isn't there" theme.

But yeah, they weren't exactly subtle in the attacks on SJP.

[cartman]

The scoop on this week's episode:

A MEDICINAL MARIJUANA SHOP IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN AN ALL-NEW "SOUTH PARK" ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL


NEW YORK, March 29, 2010 - Cartman's favorite restaurant has been shut down and a store that sells medicinal marijuana moves in on an all-new episode of "South Park" titled "Medicinal Fried Chicken," premiering on Wednesday, March 31 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central.

State Law in Colorado says it's legal to smoke pot if you have a physician's reference. Randy is the first-in-line to buy some but he's turned away because there's absolutely nothing wrong with him. Randy is desperate to get a medical excuse to smoke some weed but meanwhile, Cartman will do anything to get his beloved fried chicken restaurant back.

loved the pope jokes, especially the way they were said

Here's the preview of this week's episode. The clip ends with a NSFW utterance.

STAN GETS SUCKED INTO FACEBOOK IN AN ALL-NEW "SOUTH PARK" ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL


NEW YORK, April 5, 2010 - Stan and Kyle have been through so much together over the years but it all means nothing if Stan won't "friend" Kyle in an all-new episode of "South Park" titled "You Have 0 Friends," premiering on Wednesday, April 7 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central.

Kyle "friended" the wrong person and now all of his old friends are deserting him. His situation is desperate. Kyle looks for help from the one person who has always been there for him.

[cartman]

Based on the first part of the episode, I might end up regretting having facebook.com/cartman point to my profile!

[cartman]

Loved the Tron scenes

[Doug5984]

That was awesome.

[Radii]

not as many laugh out loud moments as some episodes maybe, but quite solid from start to finish.

[BreizhManu]

loved the chatroulette part

[Dodgerchick]

My plan was to finish Seasons 9-13 before watching any of the new stuff but as a Facebook Addict, I had to watch this. Pretty damn funny.

[RedHawk00]

made mrs. RedHawk00 watch the Facebook episode...

her quote: "i am part of the anti-farm club." i just had to laugh.

[Ksyrup]

This season's been so good, my wife was even paying attention and laughing. She loved the FB ep, but even busted out laughing at the ball-sack-hopping stuff. She usually dismisses SP outright and ignores it.

Here's the scoop on this week's episode, #200 of their storied run.


THE 200TH EPISODE OF "SOUTH PARK" IS ALL NEW

That was really good, one of the the season's best so far.

[PackerFanatic]

This season has been pretty stellar so far, and yesterday's was awesome.

WHO IS ERIC CARTMAN'S FATHER?
AN ALL-NEW EPISODE PREMIERES
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL®

NEW YORK, April 19, 2010 - "South Park" is in danger from angry celebrities, violent Ginger kids and Mecha Streisand in an all-new episode titled "201," premiering on Wednesday, April 21 at 10:00 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL.

It's a tense situation in South Park as Muhammad has become the pawn in the game to save the town. The Ginger kids are threatening to destroy the city if Stan and Kyle don't hand over the Prophet and the celebrities have met violence with violence by unleashing Mecha Streisand. In the midst of all of this, all anyone really wants to know is, who is Eric Cartman's father?

Plus, the radical nutjobs have warned Matt and Trey they face violent retribution.

Too funny. I wish they'd just show clips of the Super Best Friends episode over and over again for 24 hours.

I thought the same thing - and it actually did cut out, but only by like 10 seconds.

[cartman]

Simply brilliant.

[Doug5984]

Was great...although I hope next week they show Muhammad and rip on him

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Fucking awesome.

[DeToxRox]

Bah I didn't record it at 10 so I was hoping to catch the midnight replay but it's a rerun.

[Radii]

Well that was simply amazing.

[DeToxRox]

Found it online. 10/10.

[sterlingice]

I thought the first few minutes was a little weak. But, yeah, wow- I did not expect that and it was awesome :D

Also, Parker and Stone had a surprisingly deft touch when dealing with Muhammad. If there's anything they like more than screwing with any group of people, it's screwing with their viewers and they did that in spades.

Sure, the two-parter was pure fan service but what glorious fan service it was.

SI

[cartman]

Wow, it turns out that extra "bleeps" were added by Comedy Central after the episode was delivered to them. So there actually was something that Kyle, Santa and Jesus learned at the end.

[jeff061]

I thought that may be the case during the episode, then with the "lesson learned" I figured it had to be set up. Still not 100% sure what the story is. They may just be drumming up publicity and doing it well.

In any case, yes. Awesome episode, one of the better ones in awhile. I did not see the head ginger coming. That was great and the scene was perfect.

Bah, and because of this they haven't put the episode online yet like they usually do. According to the blurb on the South Park Studios website Comedy Central hasn't given them permission to stream the original version of the episode.

[molson]

Every episode should be about Muhammad. Make him a regular character.

I think what is missing would have been something like the following:

“We have to warn Revolutionmuslim.com that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like lamerz for posting this silliness on teh interwebs. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.”

SOLD OUT F*CKERS CENSORING SOUTH PARK LAST'S EPISODE.

SORRY WIKI, ITS NOTHING AGAINST YOU, ITS ALL AGAINST THEM.

[Big Fo]

Good episode, especially after Cartman was captured by the gingers.

Nice job by whoever hacked that one website, that's very funny.

I'm disappointed in Comedy Central for the extra censorship, when I watched it I didn't know if the ending was meant to be like that or not. Now I want to know what I missed.

[BreizhManu]

It has a repeating background of a cartoon mullah with a fuse coming out of his head,

That's the drawing of Muhammad that was published in Denmark in 2005 and that started the whole controversy

[cartman]

Matt and Trey's statement:

http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/3878/

A Statement from Matt and Trey

In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We'll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it.

[Chubby]

me thinks next week will be about censorship and an imaginary comedy tv channel :)

[sterlingice]

Well, Jon Stewart had a few things to say on this on The Daily Show. I'm sure someone will post the clip here tomorrow when it's posted

SI

[terpkristin]

I dunno, I thought the episode was kind of lame.

Not as good, in my opinion, as others this season, but better than most episodes from recent seasons (I have been the in the minority that didn't like the Imaginationland eps, etc).

Yeah same here, it was nice to see almost all the characters that appeared in the 199 previous episodes (Towely was missed though) but that's about it.

It was an incoherent babbling mess of an episode but that was because it was pure fanservice.

Viacom is royally wimping out. They've now removed the Super Best Friends episode from the website.

[Doug5984]

Viacom is royally wimping out. They've now removed the Super Best Friends episode from the website.

I rewatched it yesterday.... they really are folding on this one.

I wonder if Matt & Trey will find a way to sneak muhammad into the cartoons (he was in the opening credits a few seasons ago with the original issue popped up)

[sterlingice]

Which is really lame since, frankly, I think public opinion is actually on the South Park side, 201 was pretty tame, and with the revolutionmuslim site being hacked, most of this was blunted

SI

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Was the revolutionmuslim site hacked? It was revolutionislam that was "hacked", and as far as I can tell they are distinct entities.

[Ronnie Dobbs2]

Ah, apparently they have been redirecting traffic from revolutionmuslim to revolutionislam.

Now Younus Abdullah Mohammed, of Revolution Muslim, has confirmed to us that hackers redirected the group's website to revolutionislam.com, a site that hosts the image above — a cartoon depiction of the Prophet, originally published by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2005 (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/01/international/europe/01cnd-danish.html?_r=1).

"But it was pointless," said Muhammad. "Our website is down with the amount of traffic since yesterday anyway. If these hackers want to show their support for the filth and trash that is America then that is fine by us. We already know the outcome as Muslims."
That outcome? "Islam will take over the world."

And that concludes the first half of the 14th season. They've really brought their A game this season. I was laughing almost consistently throughout that episode!

Yep, first season(part season? group of episodes? whatever!) in a long time where there wasn't a single down episode IMO, really great stuff.

[miked]

Meh...was ok. Lamer now that you tell me it's the end to the first half.

[Bad-example]

Yeah, last night's episode wasn't funny and the Scrotie McBoogerballs one was terrible, but other than those two it was a very good half season.

[Greyroofoo]

I really liked the Scrotie McBoogerballs episode, though I thought yesterday's was average at best.

The second half of season 14 starts tonight!

NEW YORK, October 4, 2010 Cartmans dream is to join the exclusive ranks of great NASCAR drivers in an all-new episode of "South Park" titled, "Poor and Stupid," premiering on Wednesday, October 6 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL.
Cartman wants to race with the pros and he's ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. He's afraid that no matter how hard he tries, he'll never reach the the level of the other NASCAR drivers. Working with Butters as his pit boss, Cartman pulls out all the stops to compete in the race of his life.

I thought last week's episode was a rather average one.

[Ksyrup]

Good ep. It was worth it just for the 2 1/2 Men joke. Just based on the jokes they highlight on the syndication commercials, I don't know how anyone can watch that show - unless they are filming their own MST3K episodes or something.

[cartman]

That was awesome

[Doug5984]

that was a good one

[Ksyrup]

Haven't seen it yet. And after sitting through my wife watching Cake Boss last night, I hope they didn't limit this just to Jersey Shore. They need to add Buddy and his whiny-ass Fran Drescher-wannabe sisters to the party.

[sabotai]

Little bit of a spoiler alert. I'll put it in spoiler tags in case you or others want to find out when they watch the show who they went after.


The Real Housewives of New Jersey are more or less the main focus of the show (at least the first half), with a few Jersey Shore people coming in near the end, namely Snooki (and they DESTROY her).

[cartman]

Here's the preview for this week's episode.

[Ksyrup]

Love Hoarders. Seems like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon, though. I saw a CSI commercial for a new ep that's based on hoarding. House of Hoarders (wow what a clever Halloween tie-in).

[cartman]

That was pretty good.

[Bad-example]

wtf

[miked]

Meh, I thought there would be more making fun of hoarders, but it was just a big knock on Inception.

The Coon returns on the next episode of SP!

Yeah, it was good and all, but since I didn't see the movie so most of that went over my head. I got the gist of it, and it was funny, but I don't give a shit about the movie. I'd have rather seen more of a Hoarders spoof.

[Ksyrup]

No responses about last night? I thought that was great. I have to admit, it took me a few minutes to the get the DP thing (I totally didn't pay attention to the logo), then my inner-porn-child figured it out.

[cartman]

Just saw it a little bit ago. Good stuff. Loved the spoofing of BP. Captain Hindsight was brilliant. Can't wait for the second part next week!

[cartman]

Sounds like we'll get to find out who Mysterion is this week:


MYSTERIONS TRUE IDENTITY IS REVEALED
IN AN ALL-NEW SOUTH PARK
ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL



NEW YORK, November 1, 2010 The Coon comes face-to-face with Cthulhu in an all-new episode of South Park titled, Mysterion Rises, premiering on Wednesday, November 3 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL.

Led by Mysterion, Coon and Friends are working together to help the people in the Gulf who are at the mercy of the dark lord, Cthulhu. The Coon, scorned by his fellow super heroes and now working alone, is out for revenge.

[DeToxRox]

Ha, the Bron parody was great.

Damn solid episode.

[Radii]

I enjoyed the commercial dig too heh, but damn, the whole Mysterion thing was amazing, I love what they did with that.

[Ksyrup]

That was so obvious (Kenny as Mysterion). I didn't even get the commercial thing - I've never seen it, so I guess it went over my head (llike their movie spoofs). I did like the "retroactive spider" line in the story of how Captain Hindsight got his power. OK ep, the first part was better.

Here's the LeBron commercial that they spoofed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdtejCR413c

[PadresFan104]

Captain Hindsight's sidekicks: "Coulda", "Shoulda", and "Woulda"

I thought that was funny as anything I've seen on the show in a while... Loved the whole comic book format... Great stuff...

[cartman]

Just saw the episode, that was pretty awesome. Wasn't expecting a three-parter. Can't wait for next week!

[cartman]

NEW YORK, November 8, 2010 Coon and Friends find themselves at the mercy of Cartman who now has Cthulhu doing his bidding in an all-new episode of South Park titled, Coon vs. Coon & Friends, premiering on Wednesday, November 10 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL.

The Coon shows himself to be even more evil than the dark lord, Cthulhu, as he punishes his former partners in Coon & Friends. Kenny McCormick, is wrestling with the weight of his own super power through his alter-ego, Mysterion.

Will Coon and Friends save the day? Will Mysterion ever come to terms with his ability to defy death? All this as the nation waits and wonderswhere is Captain Hindsight?

Awesome trilogy. One more episode left in season 14.

[Ksyrup]

Well, I recorded it and started watching around 11pm, but fell asleep about 5 minutes in. That doesn't bode well!

[terpkristin]

I really dislike it when they do trilogies like this, or interrelated episodes like this. I couldn't stand the first one, and thought it was only going to be a 2-parter. Imagine my disappointment last night to see it was a 3-parter. Same thing happened with Imaginationland. More and more, South Park has been super hit or miss, and much more miss than hit to me. Oh well.

/tk

[miked]

Imagination-land was awesome. This was funny in the first part, less so in the 2nd, and by the 3rd I was barely paying attention. Last night's was so dull and the ending so stupid, I wonder if they just ran out of ideas too late into the trilogy.

[Ksyrup]

That was my thought on parts 1 and 2 - really funny and then less so. And then I fell asleep last night.

[cartman]

Looks like Randy is going to be featured in this week's episode. That usually turns out really well. :)

STANS PARENTS ARE GROWING APART
IN AN ALL-NEW "SOUTH PARK"
ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL


NEW YORK, November 15, 2010 Randy cant get enough of the Food Network in an all-new episode of "South Park" titled, "Crème Fraiche," premiering on Wednesday, November 17 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on COMEDY CENTRAL.

Stans life is a shambles both at home and in school. Randys obsession with the Food Network Is changing everything. It even forces Sharon to explore a new interest of her own. When his mom takes off with her "new interest", Stan is left behind to pick up the pieces.

What a way to end Season 14. That was simply awesome.

[Ksyrup]

Yep, that was phenomenal.

[Ksyrup]

Season 15 starts Wednesday. The Human Centipad. Sounds promising.
