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

I wish they had never done that damn Quintuplets 2000 episode. Too many people aren't satisfied unless this week's episode is about last weekend's breaking news.

I thought this was a worthwhile parody of those overhyped "reality" shows like "I shouldn't be alive" or "I survived getting raped by a bear" And since I participate in photo tours, they really nailed it with some of the clueless nozzles who drag these types of things down. Liked the quarter-assed live action segments (calling them half assed would be giving them too much credit) and had to chuckle at the helicrapter.

South Park can't jump the shark

I liked this one at first as I thought a lot of what they were making fun of re: ziplining actually had a ring of truth to it, and even though I really like ziplining I thought it was pretty funny. There is a local hipline outfit open in the summer for tourists here and it's a great amount of fun as there is no walking between zips, it's just platforms up 50+ feet in the trees. I know the live action stuff was intentionally crappy but it felt a bit to weird to me so I didn't really care for it though, and I've never liked Mr. Hanky...

It was a mixed bag, but overall I liked it.

Ned hasn't been on the show very much for a while. Jimbo still pops up from time to time but him and Ned used to always be in scenes together. Officer Barbrady isn't on nearly as much as he used to be either.

Very good season so far. Not as good as 14 but season 14 was one of the best. Better than season 15, though.

Loved this episode and laughed all the way through.

And yeah, anyone who would say South Park jumped the shark..That would be completely idiotic seeing as though South Park jumped the shark in the first season by normal standards! Jumping the Shark doesn't really apply to South Park.

That's ok with me, I prefer the red-haired detective anyway.

This to me was a great episode -- until the live action sequence. That didn't do anything for me. Weakest opening to a season so far. I hope next week's is a bit better. I think it's the finale already.

I think my tolerance for fart and poop jokes has really diminished lately because I just found this episode disgusting more than anything and not in a funny way. The commentary on tour groups is spot on, though.

Loved this episode. The entire "re-enactment" bit was hilarious. Reminded me of "Locked Up Abroad" on NeoGeo. Great stuff.

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.
Unoriginal complaint posts like this have totally jumped the shark.

Did you use a template? Your post reads like a Internet-bitchfesr form letter.

This was kind of a meh for me, but I loved the Faith Hilling one... mostly because of the cat at the debates.

I usually don't drink soda but I had an opportunity to try some Mt. Dew on Monday so I drank some just to see if I got diarrhea and sure enough I did! I thought on my drive home I was about to hang my ass out the window.

My favorite moment was Cartman's Diet Double Dew: "half the caffeine and sugar of regular Double Dew."

You obviously need more fiber in your diet.
