Re: South Park (Comedy Central) -- Season 19 Thread

Bits and pieces werehilarious, but it didn't really hold together for me.

While it is really annoying when cashiers are begging for donations, it kind of comes off as dickish when you're spending $40 at Whole Foods for a frozen pizza and two bottles of fruit juice and then pitch a fit over a dollar for starving kids.

Actually, I've always sort of assumed that these donations are some kind of scam on the part of businesses where they either get to write these donations from their customers off, or they're keeping most of it for administrative purposes.

I have a great little trick to use when a cashier asks me if I'd like to donate to some cause. I ask if the store matches the donations. It all of a sudden puts the business on the spot instead of me. If the answer is yes, then I'll give. But it never is. A couple of times, much to my amusement, they even called the managers over to ask them.

I thought this episode was great. The body shaming stuff was hilarious and them hanging "reality" at the end

I was surprised they didn't have reality shit itself when it was hanged.

This is amazing. I'm going to use it for sure.

I was disappointed they hanged Reality. I would have loved to see him show up randomly as a recurring cameo in order to make little comments.

Yeah, Reality could've turned out to be my favorite character in the show, after Randy, of course.

Maybe he isn't really dead? According to South Park lore, when you die you shit your pants.

Re: South Park (Comedy Central) -- Season 19 Thread

My wife is a cashier at Whole Foods and I think she was annoyed at how they portrayed the cashiers requesting donations. They definitely aren't that belligerent. She thought they should have spent more time making fun of the people that raise hell because they get asked to donate their 10 cent bag credit.

This story seems to have been the inspiration for the episode: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/30...dunham-twitter

Same here, especially at Panda Express.

While I think the episodes have been funny, I think the commentary has been a little too front-and-center this season. I don't know if this is because of the serial structure Matt and Trey are now taking, but so far this season, none of the episodes feel like they've had a satisfying conclusion.

South Park has never been particularly great at wrapping up their stories in a satisfying manner. Most of them run out of steam by the third commercial break. I learned years ago to simply give up on a South Park episode around twenty minutes in if I wasn't feeling the topic.

Awe, poor Tweek & Craig. I liked how this sorta went back to kids being kids.

Was that Peter Gabriel singing that first song? Who sang the second song?

I would imagine the second song was just Trey.

I thought Trey did the 3rd song - the 2nd one had a more acoustic singer/songwriter vibe, that didn't sound much like him, but I guess it could've been Trey as well.

Tee hee!

Cartman fingering himself while imagining that Cupid Me was raping him was so wrong


I thought it was hilarious to learn that all those drawings were submitted for the show by fans. Apparently the Craig and Tweek yaoi is a real thing and those drawings have been around for years.

The song was Peter Gabriel's The Book of Love and it was sung by Peter Gabriel.

But he sang that version for the show, right? Because I think they changed some of the lyrics, no?

Oh, I guess I could have missed a song. I only remember the two.

Did he? I Shazamed it to confirm that it was Peter Gabriel and the lyrics appeared to be right. I didn't follow all the lyrics, though.

Second song in episode was Say Something by A Great Big World. Was popular a few years back with a radio version that had Christina Aguilera sing on it.

If you want to be more disturbed, replace yaoi with hentai.

If that was Peter Gabriel singing, he was terrible. The popular version of that song is sung by The Magnetic Fields. I actually think Gabriel covered their song.
