I wouldn’t say that. There were some shitty jokes, like the britches bandits, but even the episode made fun of that. I read some reviews saying this episode made them cry. Not since Chef’s departure has there been a South Park episode that made me feel so weird.
It’s funny, (not ‘ha-ha’ funny), that the whole episode concentrated on using toilet humor to send a very real message. Wether it was addressing the fans, or the Matt and Trey’s feelings about the show lately, only South Park could make a episode that works on these levels.
I don’t know how it would make people cry, but it’s certainly darker.
I really want to hear what other people thought about it. It’s free to watch so if you haven’t seen it…http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/episodes/
I wonder if this is the last season.
I think you got wooshed by my comment
Stan’ll be fine in a few more months, when he discovers drugs.

Sounds to me like doing The Book of Mormon really set them back this season. Their tight schedule may have contributed to the darkness of this episode, and the (IMO) shortcomings of several episodes this season. I like south park, but I can really only laugh at so many poop jokes.
Perhaps… but judging from most of their DVD commentaries, the writing an episode in a couple days and coming right down to the wire thing isn’t that unusual for them.
