South Park Season 19

ballsymchugh

New season started last night.

1st episode started off hilariously, but kinda dwindled in the end.
now at least we know what the staff over at the churnal look like...

strelok

i wonder if pc principal actually is there to stay

pickarooney

Loved the crack at Giselle. Hilarious episode all round.

Salvation Tambourine

Randy being hungover was brilliant.

Also Cartman getting absolutely battered was shocking! And then to see him in the hospital beaten to a pulp was mad.

I enjoyed the episode, won't be a classic but enjoyable nonetheless.

Roar

I won't lie. I genuinely laughed out loud at the Cosby joke at the start.

Really liked the episode. Not an absolute classic but still a 7.5/10

ziedth

Loved it. Not right up there with the best but keeping the high quality of last season going imo.

Hungover randy made me laugh every time and Cartmans Tom Brady dream was brilliant if you know the background to the Tom Brady story.

It really is one of the great tragedies of TV how this show gets written off as as a gross out kind of show that just looks for controversy.

Roll on next week

Sergei Malatov

Has been awful since season 13 IMO. Season 7 was its peak.

Say what you want about Family Guy and American Dad but they have more longevity than The Simpsons and South Park - though they were never as good at their peak, they have never became hard to watch.

Roar

Family Guy started off OK but then descended into unwatchable ****e IMO. Never liked American Dad.

The demise of the Simpsons has been well documented. South Park though I never felt really slumped as badly as the Simpsons did. I genuinely enjoy almost every episode and while you're right, the earlier seasons are the best, it's always been a must watch for me, even now.

i agree, south park is miles ahead of the others at this stage. the way they kept the storyline going last year was great, and looks to be similar this time.

plus, they still don't give a crap what anyone thinks. seeing caitlyn jenner as some screwed up mess was hilarious. i don't think i'm ever going to forget donald trump dancing to the safety dance!

Zascar

South Park is by far the best imo - last season was brilliant and this one is off to a great start. With most episodes they a current topical event and explain it and mock it in a way only south park can. American Dad and Family guy are funny - but nowhere near as clever as South Park I don't think.

I cant remember the exact episode, but South Park once made fun of Family guy about the fact that a lot of the jokes are totally random and interchangeable..

I was in bits laughing every time garrison opened his mouth...Great stuff...Randy the legend


Oh and the wall story was great, nice homage to Monty python with the Canadian taunting

The Randy Riverbeast

As soon as I saw Caitlyn Jenner in the car I was expecting some sort of car crash but I still laughed. Thought it was a better episode than the first.

that was absolutely ****ing fantastic

loving this season so far

That episode didn't do it for me. I think I laughed about three times. Ah well, can't win them all.

It seems all the episodes so far have been 'whole town' episodes rather than the kids on an adventure or Cartman & Butters.

There's probably going to be a similar theme throughout the series if the first three episodes are to go by.

yeah as much as I have enjoyed this season so far I still don't really like the season long narrative thing they're doing these days and especially with the pc/sjw angle they're going for you kind of have to include everybody in it.

i only finished season 18 last week, i was so dissapointed with it when it aired that I never bothered to watch the last 2-3 episodes. It ended up not being that bad and there was actually a payoff to the season long arc so i'm less grumpy about it this time around.

Roar

A buddy in the states text me to say no new episode tonight, a repeat was playing instead

strelok

they're skipping nov 4th and nov 25th as well so i heard down by the watercooler on the grapevine according to Hello Magazine.

Hande hoche!

I'm intrigued as to where they go with the Garrison campaign.

Roar

Boogers and cum!

pickarooney

They dragged the arse out of the yelp thing but I pissed myself laughing at the song.

Exactly the same here lol

South Park are getting sued by Yelp over the last episode, I'm sure they're well used to dealing with the threat of lawsuit

That's a pisstake website.

Although the bit about Fappy the Anti Masturbation dolphin did genuinely make me laugh

Also, the new episode was great. I love butters so so much.

Penn

"This little piggy was in Fast and Furious" had me cracking up, as did the supermodel pronouncing filet mignon

Salvation Tambourine

"So you don't want to help save starving children?"

Falthyron

"Try putting your foot on the little girl's head. Yeah, she is real hungry" :pac:

Ash.J.Williams

Great series so far....pc principle is working out great!

That'll teach me not to post things without going past the heading :pac:

strelok

i liked realities little speech at the end and there were some funny little bits but overall the episode was kinda poor I thought, which is a shame as I had been waiting on south park to do something about this 'safe space' movement for a while now

ziedth

The reality speech was the definitely the high point and the "is this a good idea" line had that undercurrent of a good point that the better episodes have. I also (like always) loved butters and randy. But, if I'm honest it was probably the poorest episode between the last two seasons.

Still enjoyed it mind, just a 6 instead of an 8 that they have been.

strelok

this may well have been the best episode of south park in it's 19 season run

it reminded me of the circle jerking that was going on about Leo Varadkar coming out, although he didn't get any money for it..

Penn

I'm absolutely loving this season, I'm absolutely loving what they're going for, and more often than not they've hit the nail square on the head, but more than anything else, I cannot f*cking wait to see what happens between PC Principal and Leslie. That's at least 3 times now he's told her to shut up during an assembly and this time she wasn't even talking

I thought she wasn't talking alright! I wonder what the deal is there, 4 eps to find out!

Jon Stark

As a Peter Gabriel and South Park fan, that episode was incredibly satisfying.

Roar

Entertainment Weekly argue that this is the best season in ten years

cherryghost

I agree, this season is pretty amazing. The Tweek and Craig fanfic episode had me in stitches through the whole episode. Haven't done that in a while!

ShooterSF

For anyone that doesn't know the artwork in that ep. was apparently fan submitted!

Actually they were deviantART works from between 5-7 years ago(!) that they reached out the contributors for the show. Apparently they knew a year in advance of the shows plans.

strelok

that just makes it even better

briany

Don't think there's been a weak episode in the season so far. Very solid.

SureYWouldntYa

The one and only bad thing about this season is that there is only 10 episodes Only 4 left

I know, quality over quantity, but still would the 14 they done for most seasons be too much to ask

Also, according to wikipedia, viewers are the worst of the last few years, how

I think Parker & Stone are doing South Park on their terms now. One run per year rather than two, and less episodes overall is probably less of a headache. Less of a headache means they don't get jaded doing it and can it altogether. They have other things going on these days.

If it prolongs the show I'm all for it, better than going the way of Simpsons or Family Guy

I'd say the viewing figures is more to do with the availbility of episodes online.

The part that has me laughing even through the ad break was Randy flashing as the cops went by.

was my favourite episode of the current season

strelok

that bit at the end, rofl

what the **** is going on with leslie

Penn

Cartman getting confused about who he was talking to all the time was brilliant, especially when he tried to then claim he was actually Token

As for Leslie and PC Principal... the plot thickens...
