Pretty decent ep.
I liked seeing that pompous asshole Bill Donoghe (sp?) get slagged. Dead on too, since he’s only a Catholic in order to get pissed at people.
Also Kyle and Jesus was pretty funny. You don’t understand. I’m a Jew. I’ve got a hangup about killing Christ.
-He’s not saying anything!
-Exactly what Jesus intended.
Great episode. Hare Club for Men. Ha!
Good send up of The DaVinci Code. I also liked the skewering of Bill Donohue. He couldn’t deserve it more. I liked that they took it kind of easy on the Pope and made him show some sincere concern about adhering to a Christian ethos. It would have been easy to make him evil. I’m glad the took the high road…well, maybe more of a medium low road…still pretty good for Parker and Stone.
“Eric Cartman can never know about this.”
BRILLIANT!
Also, was Jesus wearing sidelocks?
Loved Jesus’s bladed Ninja throwing star, tho it should have been a hexagram!G
“Put the two Jews in a cell…”
And they grab Kyle and Jesus. Awesome.
Heh … I didn’t even know there was an actual Bill Donohue. The character looked to me like Karl Rove. I spent the episode trying to figure out what he was doing there; he’s EVIL, certainly, but his particular evil didn’t seem relevant to the episode.
Bill Donohue’s had it in for Matt and Trey for a long time. I’m surprised it took them so long to get back at him.
Oh, holy everloving crap, that was funny. I never read or saw “The Da Vinci Code,” but it was still a hoot. And the marshmallow Peep explosion was an awesome bonus.
dude wasnt that Krull? from the movie?
scroll down its near the bottom of the page.
Good episode, I was laughing so much…
I didn’t hear that the guy’s name was Bill Donahue at first, I was wondering who he was… Rove, Cheney? Any other white old man in government?
They’ve done parodies of movies and TV series so far this season, right? They’ve been pretty good.
Medical observation: Poor bunny was at risk of a lumbar fracture at L6-L7 all the time the kids were holding it… Support its hind legs!
Count me up as another one who thought it was Karl Rove. I don’t know what Bill Donoghue looks like (or really who he is, even), but they guy looked a ton like Karl Rove. And the character was the bad guy, which absolutely fits Rove.
Here’s a picture of him- he looks pretty much as he did on the show.
Only on the SDMB will you get a sentence like that in a thread about South Park.
Funny episode though.
Here’s the wiki page on Bill Donhue. You can see from the picture that he does kind of look like Karl Rove but that’s just a coincidence. He turns up on cable news shows a lot as a screaming head.
Definitely the glaive. It’s been ages since I’ve seen the movie, but I’m pretty sure that was his throwing stance. I can’t recall if that’s how the Beast died, though. It wouldn’t surprise me.
The sunglasses? That’s just cause Jesus is BAD. ASS.
Re. Jesus’ throwing star, I’d just watched AVP [Alien Vs. Predator], in which the Predator badass who links up with Sanaa Lathan uses one, to good effect. And the star’s a returner, too, boomerang-style, although no real boomerang would be able to make a return like that after slicing through something (and I have experience throwing boomerangs).
There must be a zillion action flicks that feature spiky, multi-armed large throwing stars of some sort or another…
True, but Jesus’s Glaive (Band Name!) had the blades pivot out and lock just like the Glaive in Krull
Strange, I thought it was a reference to the movie Blade.
You also have to give them credit for avoiding the all-too-easy “Pope Benedict looks like Emperor Palpatine” jokes.
Actually, I thought that was a reference to Neo in The Matrix (especially since the Matrix movies are rife with heavy-handed Neo=Christ references).
Another one for ‘definitely the glaive’.
Here’s another shot of the glaive
Now we just need a shot from the ep to compare.
I would have liked it if there was a mention of the fact that there were thousands of HCFMs around the world. I mean, they’re rabbits, there should be more than one descendant! In fact they should have killed Snowflake only to have a few hundred more pop out of the crowd.
