South Park- I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining (4-18-2012)

Episode 1606

Synopsis: The boys ziplining adventure becomes a terrifying test of survival.

This was a great, great episode if you ask me. I've really been liking the episodes this season and thought this was probably the best one yet. Loved the parts with the live action versions of the boys . Also laughed pretty hard at all the gross out humor with Cartman .

Ehh I think this was a letdown compared to the past two weeks (especially last week, my God).

I get the feeling that Matt or Trey had a bad ziplining experience during the break.

Meh..I still really think all of the episodes this season have been mostly pretty strong. The weakest one was the Faith Hilling one if you ask me. Seems like people just like to bitch.

Cartmans fart when he was riding the horse sounded hilarious

Episode was garbage until the live action part, then it got funny just because of how intentionally shitty the acting was

I thought this episode was pretty good. This season is already a marked improvement over 14 and 15.

I wonder what prompted the live action. Experimentation? Or some animator missed a deadline?

I think they were making fun of the reinactments the discovery channel shows do.

I thought it was awesome... the 'tour group hell' was pretty spot on and I would love to know about the real life experience that clearly inspired it. Looking forward to their commentary for this ep.

I really enjoyed this one, however I also like Ziplining so I was a little torn. The tour group aspect couldn't have been more spot on. Pretty nice gimmick, including the really dumb live action.

Just got done watching it and I thought it was top-notch. I just loved how the group aspect of anything kills the adrenaline rush because, long story short, it's so ridiculously true.

The live action stuff was great. Mr. Hankey

I liked the episode.

I'm such a child. I even laughed at the poop "puns" for the airplane, helicopter and train.

I liked the part about Stan's awareness video being so popular that he ended up in San Diego again.

Man, the responses for each episode this season has been very, very polarizing.

^^"South Park" for the last season and a half.

I never thought I'd miss when they'd take on a current topic and comment on it with their quasi-Libertarian speeches, or some epic story arc like "Imaginationland" or "Coon and Friends" but they are officially out of ideas. Can we have something high concept for a change? Weak.

Last week's was pretty topical. Not pulled-Sadam-out-of-a-hole-on-Saturday-and-aired-Wednesday topical, but it was all recent news stuff and compiled in a highly logical and hilarious manner.

Uh...how was yesterday's episode topical? I don't mind episodes like this...or didn't use to. But, back in the day, eps like this, were filler in between episodes like "Trapped in the Closet" or "Cartoon Wars".

Now, it's all filler.

Well, I did say "last week's", not "yesterday's", but I can see your confusion.

Which is funny because for a while when they were doing more of the topical episodes there were still people that would bitch and wanted them to just do stories about the boys being boys. It seems like Trey and Matt can't catch a break. They still have mostly strong episodes if you ask me. I've actually kind of been enjoying them not tackling an issue week to week and just doing more normal stories about typical boys. I don't see how them writing episodes that aren't topical makes them "filler".
