South Park- Season Finale- "Obama Wins!" (11/07/2012)

Episode 1614

http://www.southparkstudios.com/clip...d-or-something
Cartman is hiding something in his bedroom that could change the outcome of the entire election. While Americans innocently plan to go to sleep Tuesday night with the election results counted and a winner announced, Cartman has secretly wrestled control of the presidental election from the voters.
This half season has gone by pretty fast but the episodes have all been really great. Pretty stoked for tonight's episode!!

"Obama Wins" -- I guess South Park were the first ones to call it.

I wonder if they're still working on the show to reflect the election results.

It wasn't exactly a difficult outcome to predict.

I just can't believe it's been 4 years since the last election one. Or 8 since Douche & Turd.

Didn't they have two episodes in the can last time? One if McCain won another if Obama won? Maybe they did that again.

I think for the '08 election, they were going to run a disclaimer if McCain won.

Felt kind of random. Not sure how well I liked it.

Noticed the woman with the flag in her hair featured. Must have been working on this ep this afternoon.

I did like Cartman on the Tauntaun; and Mickey was good to see again.

I thought it felt too random as well, almost like Trey and Matt didn't put in enough time to hammer out some of the plot points. It kind of felt like a Family Guy episode to me. I didn't care for it. Other than this episode, I thought this half season was pretty good.

The episode did feel a little random, but there was some great stuff with Mickey and Cartman. I think the first half of the episode probably upset some of the Obama supporters, it felt like a subtle condemnation of his presidency.

I liked the general idea of the mashup between the election plot and the sale of Lucasfilm, but in execution there just weren't many laughs. Apart from Morgan Freeman.

When they said they were hidden at a place no one would ever go I was praying they were going to pan to Randy's Blockbuster.

so-so episode. I thought the funniest stuff was the greedy Mickey Mouse showing up again - that character is always funny.

One question though: was Obama's image showing up in the burning ballots to suggest that they were mostly votes for Obama and he would've still won even if they were counted?

A greedy, foul-mouthed Mickey Mouse arriving in Boba Fett's ship.....how can that NOT be awesome?

So now we know that every time Morgan Freeman explains something, he gets a new freckle.

All they'd have to do is swap out Obama with Romney. It's not like they needed to create two totally different stories.

I thought that at first, but then the plot breaks down because Romney was going to crack down on the Chinese. I suppose they could have just ignored the incongruity, but it would have been a little off.

They certainly would have had to make bigger tweaks than just swapping them. Morderd makes a good point.

It wasn't the best episode. But I was hoping that they did an "Oceans 12" theme this time around.
