South Park tells the future (finger in chili)

Cafe Society
1

An episode of South Park from 2001 was run last night - “Scott Tenorman Must Die” or something to that effect was the title.

In the last scene, the bully got his apparent come-uppance by finding that his parents had been killed and he was now eating them, in the form of chili. And indeed, he pulled a finger, still wearing a diamond ring, out of the bowl.

Never mind Nostradamus, the creators of South Park seem to have a way at predicting the future.

BTW - the new episode from last night was just meh - the kids are tired of playing baseball, they’re up agaist a series of other teams equally tired (the trash talk - “You’re gonna win” and Randy Marsh eventually solves their dilemma by fighting and disqualifying the team. They never did explain how his pants kept falling down in the fights.

I’ve seen the Scott Tenorman episode, but I’m confused. What exactly did they predict?

3

I think the OP is referring to the recent finger in the chili occurance at Wendy’s.

4

Yep. I probably should have made that more obvious, but since the Wendy’s incident is local news here, I forgot that it’s not tip-of-the-tongue (ewww!) to everyone, especially since this place is global.

5

Ah, gotcha ya. I’d forgotten about the finger in the chili at Wendy’s.

6

I loved the fact that they were playing the song from “The Karate Kid” (the one that played over the final fight scenes) while the kids were trying so hard to lose.

Yeah, I’m intimately familiar with the entire “Karate Kid” soundtrack.

7

Is it just me, or did the new kid sound like Cary Grant, or maybe Joe E. Brown, who played the millionare in Some Like It Hot?

8

Slightly off subject, but I personally think that the Scott Tennerman episode is one of South Park’s best.

"ERIC! Are you training that pony to please you?"

I liked the Scott Tenorman episode too, but I hated the ending. I didn’t find it funny at all, and I ADORE Cartman.

10

I liked it, although it seemed a little… thin. Like they had 10 minutes of plot and had to stretch it to 23-ish minutes. But Randy was cracking me up.

I was singing that song from Karate Kid (I recognized it too, Katriona) all day today.

11

gotpasswords, that episode wasn’t foreshadowing anything. It was making fun of a highly unusual and gross shakesperean play…
I think it was called Titus Andronicus.

The fact that the finger was served in chili is just a coincidence as far as I know.

12

You sir have no taste. By far, the best south park ending ever. Almost perfect. Almost, because of the looney tunes thing and also Stan and Kyle talking about pissing off cartman is distracting.

13

Bless you! I can now tell Mr. Kat that, in fact, no, I’m not the only person on the face of the earth that would know that was from Karate Kid!

14

Me too! I knew it was from an 80s movie, but I couldn’t remember which one. We watched it last night and I woke up this morning still trying to figure it out. Thank you!

15

You’re kidding! It’s so funny! It’s just so over-the-top - kid steals $16 from Cartman, so Cartman has his parents murdered and feeds them to him.

The funniest part was Radiohead (was that actually them?) at the end. “Let’s get out of here. This kid’s definitely not cool.”

16

I caught the Karate Kid reference as well. Funny episode. Randy as Drunk Little League Dad was hilarious.

I also loved that Kenny had no lines without his parka.

17

Which one was Kenny? I thought he was still dead from last week.

I didn’t even recognize Kyle and Stan until they started speaking. Kyle’s Jew-Fro[sup]TM[/sup] should have been my first clue.

18

Am I the only one who, when Randy was getting back up after getting his ass handed to him by Batdad, said “Yo, Batdad! I didn’t hear no bell!”

19

No, you are not the only one, but now you must answer my questions three.

“I’m not the only person on the face of the earth that would know that was from Karate Kid. Isn’t that right, Mr. Kat.”
