What was it Cartman said to the pirates when he brought the captured French ship in, “OK guys, _this_ is a pirate boat.” ?🙂 ---

Cartman hates Kyle. He only hates Jews by their exension from Kyle. He doesn’t hate Ike. If there’s any contradiction, it isn’t like Cartman’s going to notice it or care about it. For that matter, I’m not even sure that Cartman truly hates Jews at all. About 99% of what he says about them is just to dig at Kyle. ---

Yeah, I think jackdavinci is for some reason assuming Cartman has integrity. ---

> [@Rigamarole](#): > > And my nomination for best line of the episode: “They were French so they surrendered immediately.” I thought that was the weakest line. It’s a stale joke, based on ignorance. Otherwise, good episode. Guess it’s a good thing Token wasn’t with them. ---

> [@Baldwin](#): > > I thought that was the weakest line. It’s a stale joke, based on ignorance. See, this is why it’s said that South park is for really smart and really dumb people. As a member of the first category (:p), I thought the joke worked because it’s something an idiot would say. ---

I thought the episode was mediocre, but the ending was fantastic. “Clear.” “The Fuck?!” > [@Rigamarole](#): > > They hash this stuff out all day and all night long. I remember them talking about their typical week’s schedule on one of the DVD commentaries and it is very, very intensive. Not only are Matt and Trey witty, hilarious, intelligent guys, but they have excellent work ethics to boot. Of course, it helps that they have an army of writers, animators, producers, and directors helping to make their vision a reality. But they are major role models to me. > > Yeah, I know how much of a fanboy I sound like right now. I saw them talk about this on Charlie Rose. It takes them a week to make an episode and they start right after the previous one has aired. That’s how they are able to stay so current. ---

And besides, how do you explain his anti-Mexican, anti-Hippie\*, anti-Ginger and anti-Handicapped bigotry. He’s not just racist against, say, Mexicans or Blacks to piss off Kyle \*I’m on his side on that one. Goddamned hippies! ---
