A good episode for once. Makes me want to go to more musicales! Anyone else see it?
Seems like they’re about 6 or 7 years late on the bro meme reference. Other than that it was pretty funny. Where would the wives take their husbands for the analogous effect? Monster truck rallies? Oktoberfest?
Very funny episode. Too bad Stan’s show did not come to fruition. He had me in tears…
I found it just meh. A one joke premise about blow jobs. I think it would’ve been better if they had stuck with the over-protected vegan kid. That was a more interesting story.
Cute, but they’re getting WAY predictable. As soon as Randy knocked into the water pipe, I knew the ex-vegan kid would end up drowning.
That late in the show? I knew the kid was toast when he was on the diving board. A new kid shown like that is clearly a Red Shirt. That he was going to drown was clear during the dinner when we saw that the whole family was nuts about wearing life preservers.
I think in this case they were deliberately trying to tell us this was a Red Shirt kid so we can anticipate it.
Someone does something crazy, kills someone, and no punishment. What an amazing world the SP people live in.
Why is Elton John in on the subtext thing? There was no mention of gay guys being affected. And if they were …
Schwartz, Sondheim, too. The idea is that they are *actually *macho douchebags, and musical theatre is just a ruse to trick women into giving more head. In the context of this gag, show tunes themselves are part of a “bro” conspiracy towards this end. Even show tunes about Dorothy and Oz.
The implication is that homosexuality itself may simply be smoke and mirrors to explain the existence of Broadway’s subliminal cocksucking industry for the benefit of married men. Behind closed doors, Mr Garrison is drinking Lucky Lager and watching Girls Gone Wild, when he’s not fronting for the industry. Or something.
The second he took off the life jacket, I knew he was going to drown.
“Spider-Man works in mysterious ways, Shelly. And wherever he is, he loves you.”
Near the beginning when Randy talks with the blond guy at the bar, is his VA anyone special? It is a bit jarring to get a voice that is nothing like those of Parker/Stone.
And aren’t vegans usually less likely to be fat? He would’ve not been helped by burgers (if he lived long enough).
Their retarded hand positions during the “Bro Down” were hilariously realistic.
Some guy from SNL, who’s also a writer, did a voice of someone when they showed the documentary on the making of SP.
I think it was Robert Lopez, the song writer of Avenue Q and Book of Mormon, who apparently provided a vocal cameo in addition to help writing the songs.
Or they could like bringing gay people who like musicals and thus respond the same way as women.
Spiderman destroying Broadway was a nice dig. Funny episode.
It was an alright episode, that vegan kid’s family and the drowning part was hilarious though xD
