Yeah there’s not enough going on now, besides presidents posting videos of themselves wearing crowns and piloting planes that bomb Broadway and dem cities with shit, buyouts of shittiy countries money (and…it’s gone)
Gaza was all at peace and now it’s not.
Yeah, the woman of ICE has a face that falls off. Peter Thiel is relevant. Fucking Trump is going to have Satan’s baby and there’s Tattoo Vance. That shit if fu-uh-unny.
Why are you still watching the show? Why not just skip the rest of the season (which just advanced to Season 28 for some reason) and check back when Season 29 starts? I, and I think a lot of other people, did that for the Tegridy Farms seasons. I skipped the last two or three seasons of that because I wasn’t interested in it.
Fair enough. I’m only reminded of new ones when I see this topic up again. I can scan the synopsis and skip anything with Trump and Vance. And Jesus, unless he’s having round II -vs- Santa Claus. Though I guess whatever passes for the Christmas show will be related to Trump and not have Jesus or Santa.
Whatever happened to the show about a bunch of fourth-graders I used to like? Heh. And I could deal with the occasional Randy show yet they were over-using him
Wiki says this episode was slotted to be in season 27, ep 6, yet maybe Matt & Trey found out five and out is good enough. There will only be four more episodes in S28 and that may indeed, be it. All good things…
I was sure he fought Santa in an even earlier short / prequel.
I did see that episode. The last half was definitely a send-up of “The Exorcist.”
Here’s the short where Jesus and Santa fight. It’s labeled S00E02 and it definitely looks closer to the show as we know it. Animation much less crude, Cartman is firmly established, Kenny gets killed (of course).
Dunno the date of it, yet even if this is a few years closer to Season 1, my reckoning is it’s still a couple years away.
Comedy Central shnook: First it’s Frosty -v- Jesus, now Santa -v- Jesus and several Jewish jokes that will not pass the censors.
We’ll take it!
The clue is the season 00, which comes before season 01.
(South Park the series started in 1997.)
Yeah, the first short was 1992. And as your wiki notes, this is 1995. I did not see the shorts till Youtube started.
Youtube started in 2005, about ten years later. This short was about 2 years later (in 1995), unlikely ever aired, yet was “a couple years later” so we’re both correct: the premier of the show on Comedy Central was in 1997.
I recall the episode in Season 10 where they had a “shit” counter going and it reached 98 - at the time every utterance bleeped. It had some meta references to a Family Guy that was going to portray Muhammad and it would have started another Crusades, and nobody wanted that.
The episodes I see are sourced from places where cursing is allowed, though I seem to recall the 1AM rebroadcast left them intact.
In the UK anything goes after 10PM: Curses, full frontal, presumably not-really sex. They don’t show South Park.
Outside, hold up a sign with a picture of Cartman, “Fuck Israel” and you’ll probably be okay. Hold up a sign supporting Palestine and be hauled off for promoting terrorism.
I blame Canada.
ETA: Pre-censoring myself for putting politics into CS. That is not what Brian Boitano would do. I apologise.
When you said “a couple of years from season one”, I thought you meant after season one, not years earlier.
My mistake. I’ve no idea if pre-Youtube either of those Season Zero shorts were available anywhere. Yet you can see the second one has the fourth-graders characters pretty much established. I don’t recall a lot of Jesus till this season and it’s kind of a bummer that he’s wimpy/irrelevant.
So for me, I’m out if Trump or Tattoo Vance are in any of what might be the last episodes. They messed up (along with the USA) with Mr. Mackey actually winning 8 years ago, and I’ve no idea what humor these guys are finding with the Fantasy Island duo and Satan reading books in bed.
Parker and Stone just signed a five-year deal. Why are you all assuming the show is about to end?
I jumped to the conclusion that 5 episodes seasons seemed pretty low effort. Yet however they structure the “seasons” the deal is $1.5 billion for 10 episodes a year till sometime around 2030 (IOW I have no clue if what’s been on since July counts towards this contract).
I reckon they’d have had some fun with Hilary yet probably wouldn’t make a 10 episode arc about her (back when seasons were 10 episodes) yet we’re stuck in the universe where in 2016 all they had was Mr. Mackey as president and now it’s this inane story arc that will likely encompass the last four episodes of this season and end with Roarke/trump having Satan’s baby sometime in the last week of December.
They can do current events, yet could also just leave it up to hobbled late night talk show hosts and SNL to satirize Trump. I reckon if there’s 40-50 more episodes left it’s up to Matt & Trey to follow this story-line as long as they want.
If some interview 60 minutes (a Paramount entity) interview won Trump $16 million I hope they are looking for another lawsuit though parody is hard to win in litigation (I haven’t seen 60 minutes in years yet I presume its main function remains news).
The shit episode was S5 and the counter hit 162, that second part is taking space in my brain. You’re conflating it with the S10 “Cartoon Wars” two-parter. In the former they’re concerned about a fictional police show saying “shit”.
If you think South Park sucks now because it’s too political, then Stan agrees with you. If you think they’re just doing it to make money, then Kyle agrees with you.
There is an episode 2 of Season 28, where Stan (Trey):
The Halloween episode, titled ‘The Woman in the Hat’, saw Stan take aim at the show itself, saying: “South Park sucks now because of all of this political shit.”
Politics is and has always been fine on the show. Jon Stewart was funny when he said America had defeated our worst enemy [ photo of Toronto Blue Jays ]. Blame Canada! Be funny!
Trump having Satan’s baby has no possible way to be funny. Make it one of Cartman’s bad dreams and play out the remaining three and change (I’ll watch tomorrow) with something funny.
They could have done so much with “The Woman in the Hat” for five episodes. She was frightening!
Pam Biondi always seems to have something on her face.
How the show has sucked of late cannot be monetized, or imaginary-monetized as crypto, as Kyle says. His assurances South Park will return to how it was was not reassuring.
I was hoping Saint Ronny would show up in the seance. He’d tell us what to do. And everybody watching would be pissed off in some way. Good!
This week was a fantastic episode!
Renfeld Stephen Miller and Grudge Melania fuckin’ killed me. This whole season has been gold, but this episode was exceptional.
Funny episode, but nothing like what using Sora2 is actually like. It is extremely restrictive on what you can create.
Watched a new one for the first time in forever. I don’t get it, but the sex scenes are hard to watch.
Yeah, I needed brain bleach after that.
