Not a bad episode, but wasn’t Lemmiwinks supposed to reappear???
I missed last weeks episode, but I was under the impression that Lemmiwinks was supposed to be on that episode.
Last week was an episode featuring Cartman as “Awesom-o”… no Lemmiwinks to be found.
Not bad? I thought this week was one of the funniest ever. Although the “moral” bit at the end was a bit weak.
It was a funny episode, but weaker than the last two I think (the Passion and Awesom-o). Still, this whole season has been great and this episode was certainly better than most in the past few years.
And the “You Got Served” one was in there also now that I think about it, which also a pretty good episode.
Weak? It was one of the most powerful, classic moral lessons of all time! Namely:
If you’re a rich black guy, you have a duty to give all your money away.
Did anyone figure out that the kid replacing Blanket was Kenny before MJ killed him?
I’d completely forgotten how Kenny really looked and sounded. I need to go back and watch Bigger, Longer, and Uncut again.
Then again, there isn’t a huge amount of variance between different people’s faces on South Park anyway. All beige disks pretty much look alike.
I’ve really been digging this season, but come on…making fun of Michael Jackson? Isn’t that old and overdone? Complete with predictable hanging kid from window and plastic surgery jokes. Arn’t there more timely issues they can poke fun at with more originality?
Yep, I said to my girlfriend as soon as he showed up, “Is that Kenny or Craig?” and then a few seconds later I said “That’s Kenny!”
South Park is back in a big way after a somewhat weak 7th season. I am absolutely loving these new episodes.
Yeah what the hell was up with the sudden removal of Kenny’s coat? Did I miss something?
I Personally fround it rather boring and weak. The micheal jackson jokes were far from original nor were they particulary interesting in this episode.
Maybe it’s just the fact that Micheal Jackson has been done completely to death or maybe the creators had other things on their minds. I don’t know. For me, this is the weakest episode of this season, even moreso then the Steriods episode. However, the rest have been pretty damn good in my opinion, so I’m willing to forgive a bad episode now and then.
It took me a minute to figure out and when I realized it was Kenny, I laughed my ass off at Stan’s comment: “Hey, at least you get to do something!” or something along those lines. Butters is the new Kenny and a hundred times better character. When they really killed Kenny I was happy because he was a good character but I think he had his run. I have only been catching halves of most of the new season’s episodes but I don’t remember Kenny even being in the backround.
Oh, and having MJ wear the jacket from the “Thriller” video when is face was falling apart was a nice touch.
Exactly. It was a giant cliche-fest.
Well, given the run of good episodes, I guess it was time for a stinker.
Interesting trilogy last night.
The early South Park featured Cartman and the pervs of NAMBLA. The new South Park featured Cartman sleeping with Michael Jackson, who was framed by racist cops. Chappelle Show featured jury selection for the O.J. trial, R. Kelly trial, and Michael Jackson trial.
Spooky. 
I wouldn’t exactly call it a stinker, but it was easily the weakest in an otherwise very strong season. There were some funny bits.
Anyone know the signifigance of the name “Blanket”?
My husband and I will be walking around saying “That’s ignorant…that’s just ignorant…” in falsetto for days now.
Creepiest part (besides Michael’s face melting) was the semi-nightmare Stan had of Michael and Cartman.
“Mr. Jefferson, I think you’re really cool.”
“I think you’re really cool too, Cartman.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Really…”
“Really…”
They move in slo-mo for the kiss when Stan wakes up screaming. Hell, I almost screamed myself. Ewwwwwwww. At least Cartman wasn’t giving Ben Affleck a handjob again.
I was under the impression that the kid replacing Blanket was just some random background kid (hence the “at least you get to do something” line) and when they pipe in with “Oh my God, they killed Kenny!” it was an automatic-reaction kind of thing - they’ve said it so many times that it just kinda popped out. But upon reading the posts here, I am now convinced that it was Kenny and I owe my hubby an apology.
That’s acually what MJ calls his youngest. Becuase he sleeps with him, you see.
