Goin' down to South Park: Season 18 discussion (contains spoilers)

[cartman]

The kids should be graduating college, but they are still stuck in 4th grade. Season 18 starts a week from tonight. No word yet on the topic for the season opening episode.

[cartman]

Here's a teaser for the season opener:

[Comey]

Technically, they would have graduated in season 12, no? Eight years for school, four for college? If this played true to form, they'd be what...26-27?

[cartman]

The press release on the season opener:

NEW YORK, September 22, 2014 – The boys launch a Kickstarter campaign and get down to business on an all-new episode of “South Park” titled “Go Fund Yourself” premiering Wednesday, September 24 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.


After Cartman and the boys name their new company, The Washington Redskins, they just sit back and watch the funding roll in. The head coach of the Washington Redskins football team demands that they change the name but Cartman digs in his heels. The Washington Redskins may never mean the same thing ever again.

[cartman]

Solid start to the season. Here's the press release for this week's episode:

NEW YORK, September 29, 2014 – The consequences of eating gluten are dire on an all-new episode of “South Park” titled “Gluten Free Ebola” premiering Wednesday, October 1 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.


Mr. Mackey is now gluten free and everyone is annoyed when he won’t quit preaching about how great he feels. But, after witnessing a disturbing demonstration of what happens to your body when you do eat gluten, South Park becomes the first town in America to go gluten free.

[cartman]

Looks like we might get a bunch of Randy in this episode. Trailer has a slight NSFW part.

[cartman]

Thought that was a pretty solid episode last night. I almost lost it when the mice were fed gluten and the effects kicked in.

Press release for this week's episode:

NEW YORK, October 6, 2014 – The state of one’s gender is in question on an all-new episode of “South Park” titled “The Cissy,” premiering Wednesday, October 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.

Stan is searching for answers about how a person who he’s always known to be one thing could suddenly identify with another. In the meantime, the pressure of holding on to a giant secret is starting to get to Randy.

[cartman]

It is interesting that they are tying the episodes together this season. In years past, except when they had a multi-part episode (Imaginationland, Coon and Friends, Brack Friday), each episode was in its own silo.

LOL @ Cartman becoming 'transginger'

[Julio Riddols]

I thought that was an interesting thing too, kind of self contained stories but with call backs to prior events, something the show hasn't really done much of. I think I like it. Its been a decent season so far. I'm excited to see this third episode, is it up on hulu already?

Yeah, there is a link from South Park - Watch Full Episodes, Clips & More | South Park Studios

[Julio Riddols]

Well I guess I better fire up the projector then.

[Johnny93g]

I think the confession scene with Randy and Stan is South Park Hall of Fame material.

[cartman]

Timmy is back this week.

NEW YORK, October 13, 2014 – Timmy‘s personal car service takes off on an all-new episode of “South Park” titled “Handicar,” premiering Wednesday, October 15 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.

Timmy’s idea to raise money for the summer camp has everyone in South Park trying out the latest trend in transportation. Timmy’s success makes him a lot of enemies and a bloodbath of epic proportions is on the horizon.

[cartman]

Thought that was another solid episode last week. I liked that they brought back Nathan and Mimsy. The Matthew McConaughey spoofs were awesome.

No new episode this week. Next new one is on the 29th.

[timmae]

Timmae!!

Freemium. "mium" is Latin for "not really". LOL

Gotta say, finally got to see the episode, and it was outstanding. I laughed out loud a few times, loved every second of it. Right up there with the best of the best IMO.

[cartman]

Randy is awesome. I just about lost it there

[Julio Riddols]

Last 2 episodes have been great now. I've really enjoyed this season.

[Izulde]

This episode was just so wrong on so many levels. I still laughed, though. Heard about it because one of my relatives tagged me in a screencap on FB and said I was on South Park this week.

[cartman]
