Cheech Tremendous Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 I just couldn't get into last night's episode. Haven't seen the new Indiana Jones movie, so that sort of fell flat. Besides, didn't they already do that storyline for the SE Star Wars? Cartman and Butters had potential with the China thing, but it lost steam right away. Worst episode for me since Oprah's vag got a starring role.
Ravenbomb Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 To me the episode was like Space Balls. I thought the individual jokes were funny, but put together as a whole it kinda fell flat.
RepoMan Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 I thought the whole Cartman vs. China had a lot of potential, but it went no where. I liked the new Indy film (so the Ark of the Covenent melting pepoles faces off, Ram ripping out a beating hearts, and a two thousand year old ghost protecting the Holy Grail is all well and fine, but adding aliens into Indiana Jones is totally out of place?) , so the entire joke feel flat on me. I did like that Lucas raped Indy on a Howard the Duck pinball machine.
Jericholic82 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 That was a strange show. I mean it was kinda funny, yet disjointed and odd. Not one to watch ever again. But yea Lucas' o face did crack me up. And no I did not see the movie, but Trey and Matt went a little overboard with this one IMO. O and Spaceballs is 100X better than real Star Wars, well to me at least lol.
Nightwing Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 The new Indy film was an okay film, so while it was a little funny, watching a grown man get raped was a little bit too much. I thought Hillbilly Lucas looked funny as hell, though. I liked a lot of the China stuff, but it just wasn't the focus of the episode. The ridiculous stereotyping, Butters shooting guys in the balls, and the whole Olympics flashback worked. I was honestly waiting for Cartman to be right, but the whole thing felt a bit tacked on to the episode.
Youth N Asia Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 One of the worst episodes they've ever done. They had 3 jokes in the entire episode, jokes that weren't any good...and they kept re-doing them over and over again. 1/10
haws bah gawd Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 I recognized the Deliverance spoof, and I have seen the pinball machine rape in another film, though I don't remember the title. I couldn't place the first rape scene though. Any ideas? This episode was just OK and not much else.
Nighthawk Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 FYI, the pinball machine rape was based on The Accused, but I do not see any inspiration for the first scene.
Red Baron Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 It was an okay episode, but not the worst (see Mrs. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina)
Youth N Asia Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 If not the worst it's an easy top 3 or top 5 worst. No laughs. Very bad for kicking off a new season
strummer Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Enjoyed tonight's show because it was an episode where they actually acted like kids. There weren't any unbelievable jokes but I liked that almost the entire episode took place at the school in "real time" Loved the reference to 3 O'Clock High as I loved that movie growing up. I have no idea if anyone in Trey's family has breast cancer but the show came off as sort of a tribute. I was thinking maybe to Christina Applegate but it could have been a general theme.
Youth N Asia Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Nothing special, but better then that crapper last week
DMann2003 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 I loved the "There Will be Blood" reference.
haws bah gawd Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Great episode. Not one of the best by any means, but still fun. Cartman cracked me up trying to act tough in front of the other boys, with my favorite part of the episode being Cartman shitting on Garrison's deck followed by "WHATS UP DAWG!".
BruiserKC Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 I get a huge kick out of Cartman's taking passive-aggressive to a whole new level. I'm a bit disappointed at the ending as I usually expect him to totally get out of the situation unscathed, but Principal Victoria hinting at Wendy to kick Cartman's ass was pure gold.
Angle-plex Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 This whole season feels like they take one funny joke and do it constantly through the 30 minute episode.
Mik Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Posted October 16, 2008 "That's funny, I don't remember an AC/DC song about beating up women." GOLD. Good episode... loved the principal's speech.
RepoMan Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 I thought it was a pretty good episode. I can't remember the last time Wendy had a major role in an episode and it was nice to see Cartman get his ass beat. Was I the only one who thought this episode was a war on terror allegory? **1/2 ouf of 4. It seems like the best episodes usually are at the start and the very end of a string of new episodes. Very disapointing so far.
haws bah gawd Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Here's something I was wondering. When exactly did Garrison become a serious teacher? For the first several seasons all he did was show the kids Barnaby Jones replays and feed them a bunch of celebrity gossip. There's even an episode "Underpants Gnomes", where Garrison is called before the town committee, with his job on the line, because he doesn't actually teach the students anything. Also, how many fights has Cartman been shown to actually win? The only one that comes to mind is when he beat up the midget at some point last season. Other than that, they always portray him as being all talk and no skills.

Was I the only one who thought this episode was a war on terror allegory? **1/2 ouf of 4. It seems like the best episodes usually are at the start and the very end of a string of new episodes. Very disapointing so far. Actually, the last episode of Season 11 includes her. Overall, I loved the episode. The reference to Snatch during the last half of the episode was beyond awesome. Watching Cartman attempting to avoid his comeupance is always good, especially how he goes from "begging" to "shit-talking" instantly.
Gary Floyd Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Sucked until the "Cloverfield" spoof came up.
DMann2003 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 What the hell was that episode?!? And how many parts will it be?
Ravenbomb Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Craig pretty much saved the Pan Flute story with his little rants about how the main four are assholes and nobody likes them, and the giant Guinea Pigs were hilarious.
haws bah gawd Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 That was a great episode. Parker and Stone are kind of hit or miss when it comes to multiple-part episodes, but this definitely looks interesting. I can't wait to see where they go with it next week.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 I think it'd be hilarious if there just weren't a part 2.
haws bah gawd Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Me and a buddy were just discussing that exact thing. There was no 'to be continued' at the end of this episode, so what if next week, they do an entirely new episode and don't even mention this one? Hey, they've done dumber things before with this show.
Mik Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 Randy with the video camera went from lame to awesome in about 3 seconds flat when the Cloverfield spoof started.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Agreed. I couldn't understand what that subplot was all about but when he was filming them and everything started shaking I LOVED it. "I am so...startled"
RepoMan Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 It's about time someone went after those damn Peruvian panflute bands. Craig and the Guinnea Pigs save an otherwise shitty episode.
