Wonder how Comedy Central feels about them making fun of the Comedy Awards. And yes, Germans are horribly unfunny.

I didn't see a Tony Awards thread, but congrats to Matt & Trey:
“The Book of Mormon,” which features a book from “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and music from Robert Lopez, led the pack with 14 nominations, including nods for Best Musical, Direction, and Best Leading Actor, as well as Featured Actor and Actress.
Parker and Stone’s subversive and widely-praised musical -- which follows two Mormon missionaries in Africa as they meet the locals and sing rollicking show-stoppers about AIDS, female circumcision, scrotal maggots and guerilla warfare -- has been a box office smash and a rousing tourist attraction, despite its lack of marquee name actors."
It's wild that these guys have remained as obscene and irreverent as ever, but receive Emmy, Oscar and Tony nominations.

Actually, so was I since they didn't do a writers' retreat for this batch of episodes (too busy with the Broadway show) and are writing and producing each episode on the fly. Maybe they still will and the episode will take a sharp turn from the plot posted above.
Bin Laden and Saddam just have to meet up in Hell at some point. Maybe form a love triangle with Satan.

They have before. I remember the Quintuplets episode from like a decade ago getting changed within hours. Most of the stuff from the previews was gone. Wish they actually released that episode as-is.

FYI - Not sure if it was ever posted, but the shows been renewed through the 17th Season. So we have at least another 3 seasons (including this one).

I don't know...some of the random things Funnybot would say cracked me up. Certainly wasn't as great as last weeks episode though. But South Park has a habit of showing one of their strongest episodes at the beginning of the season.

I loved the "One and a Half Men" poster in the CBS offices. Looked like an OBL sketch in the dressing room too.
I think they showed Conan O'Brien in the gym at one point (when Leno was freaking out) and he was clean-shaven. That just happened Monday. Also, South Park Louis C.K. looks just like Louis C.K.
I laughed out loud when Token first laughed at Tyler Perry. They went back to the joke three too many times. Obama saying he was going to watch it with his family should have been the only callback to it.

at Tyler Perry showing up and the only one to laugh at his jokes is the black kid
