> [@fusoya](#): > > Actually the fastest turnaround was About Last Night - it aired less than 24 hours after Obama was elected president, and was about Obama being elected president. The stories say that the episode finished building about 90 minutes before it was set to air. But to be fair, the whole script, voice acting, and even a lot of the animation could have been done ahead of time as long as they did “two versions,” ie one for Obama winning and one for McCain. ---

As much as I enjoyed this episode, I miss character-centric episodes like they focused on in seasons 4-6 rather than current event focused episodes. I’d really like to see them return to stuff like “The Return of Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers” or the “Cat-Orgy”/'Two Guys Naked In A Hot-Tub"/“Jew-bilee” trilogy. This one (excluding the DP apologies) was actually a bit of a return the more character-driven ones, but I really wish they’d do a few in a row. By the way: who was who? Stan was The Handyman, but who was The Mosquito (I thought Kyle, but Kyle would have kicked Cartman’s ass) or Mint-Berry Crunch? PS–I don’t care what Matt and Trey say. Mysterion is DogPoo! 😃 ---

Cartman as Alex DeLarge was great… I’m surprised they haven’t used it before. I was hoping to see Cartman smashed in the face with a milk bottle, though. The “hindsight” angle made me worry they’d let BP off the hook, but they managed to skewer them pretty good. ---

My favorite part of the episode, which I keep going back to and watching over and over, is the Cajun guy right after BP spills the oil. “I gots the bes’ skrimp thisside Leesiana…look at all that errl on mah skrimp!” ---

I think Mysterion is Kenny. According to South Park wiki: > **[Mysterion](https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/Mysterion)** > > Mysterion is the super hero identity of Kenny McCormick who appears in the episodes "The Coon", "Coon 2: Hindsight", "Mysterion Rises", "Coon vs. Coon & Friends", "The Poor Kid", and "Franchise Prequel". He is one of Mr. Garrison's fourth grade... “In Coon 2: Hindsight, the Mysterion suspects are narrowed down to three people… Kenny, Clyde, and Bradley. Since Kenny and Clyde were called out by Cartman and he said “I even said it was you,” it is most likely Mysterion is one of them.” This is what Bradley looks like and I think he looks a lot like Mint-Berry Crunch. > **[Bradley Biggle](https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/Bradley_Biggle)** > > For other uses, see Bradley (Disambiguation). Bradley Biggle, also known as Mintberry Crunch and Gok'zarah, is one of the boys' classmates. He is voiced by Matt Stone and first appeared in the Season Three episode, "Rainforest Shmainforest". He is... Also Cartmen keeps picking on Mint-Berry Crunch and the other guys have to tell Cartmen to quit picking on him. Kenny on the other hand has no problem standing up to Cartman so if he was Mint-Berry Crunch I think he would have said something back to him. I would love it if Mysterion was Kenny. The poorest kid in town is the coolest super heroe. I loved the line when Cartman told MBC his costume needed something and MBC said, “Milk?” ---

Human Kite’s voice sounds like Kyle’s with fake gravellyness. It could be a function of the character also being voiced by Matt Stone though. Were some of those monsters Elder Things? Were there any other Cthulhu mythos creatures around (besides the big one, of course). ---

I loved how Stan’s dad can’t dismantle the coon alarm because he doesn’t know what happened to his tools. Overall a rather good episode, in my opinion. ---

Cheers everyone for mentioning A Clockwork Orange. It was doing my head in thinking where that was from. Very good episode, but then again I am in a small group of people that thinks this season has been strong all around. ---

> [@amanset](#): > > I have no idea how a Cajun sounds but that guy cracked me up. Really bad. Listen to any Justin Wilson cooking show for something more genuine. I have a bit of research to do, but if you want to hear genuine Cajuns, one of [these](http://www.ontheradio.net/metro/Lafayette_LA.aspx) should do. I know that one Lafayette radio station does a live dance broadcast on Saturday mornings. It don’t get more Cajun than that. Or watch Swamp People on the History Channel - whoever is least intelligible to a native-English speaker is most likely a Cajun. (I say this with love - my best buddies are Cajuns. I once spent 20 minutes conversing with a 6’5", 270# Cajun, and never understood a word he said.) > [@](#): > > Cheers everyone for mentioning A Clockwork Orange.

There’s a sequence in the movie where a gang tries to oust its leader (who is the main character in the movie, Alex, played by Malcolm McDowell). Alex pretends to go along with it temporarily, but then in the scene mimicked in the South Park episode (the scene where they’re walking in slow motion accompanied to the Beethoven music) he turns and attacks the new, would be leader, viciously with a knife. That scene is then followed by the gang at the bar with Alex saying, “everything is just the way it was before, right right?” That bit was also mimicked by the SP episode. ---

> [@zeldarae](#): > > How quick is the production time on one of these shows? It can be the quickest animated show in the history of anything if they want. They use Maya to animate it and have pretty much all of the pieces pre-rendered in advance so manipulating thing into animation is now very streamlined. Unlike something like The Simpsons or Family Guy, they don’t have to do story boards and then plan everything then send it off to Korea to be hand drawn on individual cells. It is all computer generated in Maya and then they can match the voice animation bits at the last moment. If they want to change a joke to be more topical, they can actually do it a few days before it even airs.
