South Park season 17

Psychedelic

I was looking up the date when South Park was to return, as it usually comes back on air around mid March, but saw that it's now only going to be a straight run of 10 episodes per season, instead of the traditional two blocks of 7 episodes, and will be returning on air in September.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker explain more about their decision here:

An NSA episode. Was pretty funny I enjoyed it.

Zwillinge

Thought it was funny, especially the start with loud speaker conversations

Zascar

Loved it. Brilliant episode to start the season. Several lol moments.

So glad it's back

Headshot

Baldwin was epic tbh

lertsnim

Santa was a surprise

BlitzKrieg

the surprise was that they just dropped the santa thread so simply.


But the butters plot stole the show and that ending was f*cking perfect.

jaykhunter

I wish I enjoyed this like you guys. I thought Cartman being insufferable on his phone was funny, but in general, a bad episode, especially the middle portion with Butters getting together the DMV plot with the door-to-door scenes.

snausages

Thought this was the worst SP in a long time tbh. Butters is not funny anymore

Roar

Funniest ep I can remember in a long time. Butters dressed as the preacher at the end cracked me up.

As did Alec Baldwin talking about getting a "pussy sandwich". His voice was nearly perfect!

Also, thoughts on the new intro? I thought it looked great, a change was overdue tbh

Roar

I WISH JADEN SMITH WAS MY SON!

Zwillinge

That was a fantastic episode!! Really clever and witty!

Zascar

Brilliant, loved it! One of the best in ages, I love when they get creative with ideas like that. The cable company guys were hilarious. I just wished I was young enough to get more of the minecraft jokes haha

bada_bing

100% with you.........

The second plane crashing

had me in stitches
Haven't seen World War Z but it didn't stop me from absolutely loving that episode.

Shane St.

Brilliant

lertsnim

Best episode I have seen for ages

BlitzKrieg

wow south park is on fire this season.

I've liked every episode this season so far.

Vinz Mesrine

Cartmans black family impression was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in South park and I've seen every episode.

lertsnim

I hear this weeks episode is postponed because they couldn't meet the deadline on the episode due to a power cut

Yep

Thanks to a power outage (and its longstanding “six days to air” policy of turning episodes around so quickly), South Park has missed its deadline for the first time in the show’s history. In a statement from Comedy Central, the network says, “On Tuesday night, South Park Studios lost power. From animation to rendering to editing and sound, all of their computers were down for hours and they were unable to finish episode 1704, ‘Goth Kids 3: Dawn Of The Posers’ in time for air tonight.” And rather than just replace any of the missing scenes with video of a pig wearing sunglasses, like we would do, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have decided to be professionals and move the episode to Oct. 23. “It sucks to miss an air date but after all these years of tempting fate by delivering the show last minute, I guess it was bound to happen,” Parker said in the announcement. Tonight Comedy Central will instead air a “live-tweeted” encore presentation of the classic “Scott Tenorman Must Die.”

Pity about the postponement of this week's episode but it had to happen sometime. Still, nevermind, and if any of you have not yet seen it, check out that "Six Days to Air" docu that they made on the iPad episode. Very interesting to see just how intensely they work. Didn't know they had Bill Hader working as a writer.

Zascar

It's a very good documentary all right. However I just end up thinking that maybe if they didn't do it in such a rush and took a little more time, perhaps they could make better episodes. This season is off to a great start but some of last was pretty iffy.

It's great that they can do an episode in 6 days if they want to reference very recent news, but like you say what's the point putting themselves under so much pressure to produce every episode like that? Most of the best episodes are their original stories that don't rely on a fast turnaround, and a lot of the episodes that are about "the big thing in the news/internet this week" are not as good. E.g. the Obama/Oceans episode, felt a bit like they're showing off: 'look how fast we can do this'.

Finding this season very meh so far. The 3rd episode I barely laughed at, I haven't seen World War Z so most of the jokes went over my head.

snausages

I have seen WWZ and even then it wasn't very funny. The bit with Cartman doing his hair before preventing an apocalypse did make me laugh though.

Zwillinge

New episode all about the Goth kids; great characters and a funny story!

Best episode yet, I think

But I LOVE the Goth Kids

Professey Chin

The black vampire "kid" was fcuking brilliant :pac:

I love goth kids too so I am bias too, Poe sounded way too much like randy marsh during his twee music career.

Shane St.

Been a great season so far

3 days later and i'm still laughing my head off at the way he spoke at the vamp kids meeting - "and i bet it's this little nigga right here!"

Witcher

Loved how the goth kids confused themselves over how they were different from the emos:pac:

Black guy was awesome too..'you want me to go in there and waste these motherfcukers...I'll do it!'

Zwillinge

Taming Strange; started out kinda confusing, but then everything fell into place perfectly - brilliant episode!

Professey Chin

I nearly pissed myself laughing at Tom Brady and the cut to Mr Mackey slumped over in the cafeteria

"The heat is on..."

Mr.Nice Guy

Some funny moments but it felt like too many ideas were crammed in.

Goh! You're SO conformist. EVERYONE loves the Goth Kids. I hate those wannabe douchbags. GOH!!!!!



*I love those Goth Kids. They're using them just about the right amount too. Too much and you'd get tired of them. Great episode

Headshot

Butters is unreal. I laughed my head off

Zwillinge

Ha, nicely played Grover :P

Just finished Black Friday - what an amazingly epic episode!

Don't wanna wait until next week!!

PS: I have an X-Box 360

Ridley

Presumably this will be a three-parter since Black Friday is on 29/11?

As for Elmo:

Zombie Simpsons at that!

Although the joke this go around was at the expense of Kevin Clash rather than the concept of the doll...

vetinari

Great great episode

Black Friday was definitely one of the best in a while

Elmo doll commercial was brilliant.
