They could have really made fun of the PITA like group. they have made fun of PETA in the past. But this ending left me feeling icky. The undercover ops scene was good, the rest - meh. (maybe because I’d read the thread before viewing the ep) But it would have been much more South Park-y if the did have a bunch of orcas playing happily on the moon. Instead they just killed a majestic creature ---

I liked it. Not an A-List episode, but funny. “It was funny!” “I’d like her to sit on my nose!” Token and TIMMMAY! ---

Somebody call Bransen and tell him to switch manufacturers for Virgin Galactic! Yeah, but did you notice that it was a Saturn 1B they were using to do it? Which means they just raided NASA’s junkpile out back of Kennedy. (I am _such_ a space geek.) ---

I’ve got the episode on a high def DVR so I’ll try to get a capture of the sketches this weekend if I can. I wonder if they were made from childhood photos of Matt and Trey. Not a spectacular episode but a good story and lots of good gags. Cat burglar Timmy and the poor dead while on the moon cracked me up. I think it was a bit of a sly homage to the ending in _Space Cowboyus_. I have a confession, the first time I went to sea world I went to the Orca tank as soon as the park opened so I could listen to the whales without anyone else around. Shamu didn’t talk to me. ---

Wow, this episode was AMAZING. I called my SO after kyle went to get his friends because I thought the announcers were great. Boy, I wasn’t disappointed! We both choked with laughter at the end reaching paroxysm when the ALF lady is talking with the rocket launcher is rising in the background and lasting all the way to the credits scene which did nothing to help us stop. Fantastic. Just fantastic! "It was funny! It was really funny! _sob_ " [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/south-park-11-30/333512.md?page=1)
