ok so the new series of South Park is starting, so I thought "hmm I can't remember a South park topic yet" so I made one (groovy, eh?)
I was a fan when it began, but stoped watching when they introduced timmy and the like, but only started watching again last year and I've really become a big fan. The shows politics mainly go towards pointing out the stupidity on all sides of arguements, and it's parody of pop culture (such as Paris Hilton, queer eye or Guitar Hero for examples) are big hits for me. My fave character is Butters, and seriously he rocks. An episode with lots of Butters in (such as Cartman sucks or Imaginationland) is a great episode by my books.

The recent episode is pretty great because it's basically... Cartman gets aids. It's a very strong opener episode and I really hope the rest of this years are as good as this.

EDIT: (Oh yah, I'm mod again btw and this... is my rules topic)

I don't know about the rest of yall, but when I think Anime, I think South Park[/sarcasm]. I actually felt this seasons opener fell flat during the beginning. It just had a different vibe about it. But it picked up near the middle of the episode. I liked their past couple of season (like the past 5).

oh cool i didn't know it had started up again.

this was the worst episode I've seen in a while.

this is like up with a million little fibers and more crap.

I couldn't help but like that episode.

But you do seem to have good taste in lame episodes. (although I couldn't help but like a million little fibers as well...)

a million little fibres was horrendous. I actually gave up watching it half way through, but I reallt hate Towlie. But yah this episode was pretty fun.

If anything they've gone more away from plots. Earlier episodes generally had a few diverging stories per episode. Now they've cut back on that making it pretty single and clear, but they're focusing more on commentary and politics. Which is kinda shit I like.

felt lazy to me. maybe they had CARTMAN GETS AIDS on a post-it for years and figured what the hell. there weren't any particular clever or funny parts, and the cash cure for aids was disappointingly dumb. it was more like an earlier episode of the show, where someone would get an anal lobotomy or something high-larious,  and i only really like the last couple of seasons of this show.

...that's...that's the joke.

he's able to pay for treatments normal patients can't.

the joke isn't actually that MONEY MADE HIM WELL, its the money he paid for treatment!

I like the message they tried to get across about how America puts disfigured and diseased people on a high pedastel just so we can feel sorry about them (but few actually CARE until they have the disease) but out of the past couple of seasons this was very poorly directed and, frankly, boring.  Normally there's some crazy faux dramatic shit happening but this episode was pretty tame as far as jokes go.

The last two or so seasons of South Park have just been pretty boring to watch.  There's just nothing happening in them.

The ending of the last episode was pretty funny. The Britney Spears one.

I dunno the britney episode was vey NOTHING HAPPENING throughout the whole thing. It started off funny but when that became the whole point of the episode, it was kinda weak.

Yeah during the episode it was pretty lame, but I liked the ending.

Maybe they've *gasp* lost their touch...
