South Park - "Trapped in the Closet" - 11/16
 

"Trapped in the Closet"

I have a feeling that a lot of us will be catching the replay of this episode since Lost is 65 minutes tonight.

Speak for yourself... a LOT of us have dual tuner TiVo! ;)

i loved the disclaimer

Oh my god, that was great. I was concerned with how bad the new eps have been that they wouldn't be suitably vicious against $cientology. Man, was I wrong. It'll be interesting to see how the Co$ reacts to this, as they've sued over a lot less.

wow, trey and matt really mailed that one in. although it probably takes no effort at all to make fun of scientology.

Great end credit gag.

My favorite joke of the whole thing was the credits at the end of the episode. Everyone's name was either John Smith or Jane Smith. Guess you can't sue psuedonyms.

The overall plot was a little weak, but it was worth it for the closet gags and the end credits joke. :up:

That wasn't very good. I kinda laughed when R kelly was singing the song outside the closet and Tom Cruise and John Travolta were singing back. Thats about it.

I laughed out loud when R. Kelly grabbed that woman and sang, "I'm gonna cap this bitch."

Decent episode, wow, Scientology is weird!!!!

I liked the the scenes withthe closet and R.Kelly. Other than that it was ok

Expect to hear that the Church is suing the creators of South Park. I'm sure Tom Cruise and John Travolta will join in the fracas, as well.

tom cruise wont come out of the closet

The_Greek, you're soooo glib. I've studied law, I understand it. Have you studied it? You're so glib!

Got about one laugh out of it and that was it. :shrug:

The "In the Closet" joke was funny the first time or so... but to build a whole episode around it was just a waste

I probably got three: Travolta doing his "ohmigAHD", the first mention of "Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet", and the credits. It was OK, but they did kind of phone this one in.

das

I thought the disclaimer "scientologists actually believe this" was a good touch, too

Good companion piece to the "What Mormons Believe" episode, although not as sharp.

I thought they were too easy on Scientology, but maybe they didn't want to get sued.

It would've been a lot funnier if for the Celebrities they used photographs for their faces like they've done with Saddam and Mel Gibson.

They've done Tom Cruise as a photo before, not sure why they didn't this time.

I'm sure that's the reason. I noticed that unlike any other person / organization that they make fun of, they didn't actually use David Miscavige's name as head of $cientology.

:shrug: I thought this ep was really funny. Though, I had someone watching with me who had never heard scientology beliefs before. She was pretty shocked. :) The Travolta impression was funny, plus them singing in the closet. Not enough Cartman, though. :)

The R Kelly stuff was great, especially if you've seen his Trapped in a Closet anthology of videos. I will admit I was expecting the "dum-dum dum-dum dum" tune when they were explaining the Scientology beliefs, but the written disclaimer was pretty funny too. :)
