South Park Season 12 Premiere

[Chef]

Anybody watching this?

Nice to see Matt and Trey starting off the season with a bang.

 

[More hideous than Ben Seaver]

MC: These two brave friends...
Kyle (angry): He's not my friend! He infected me with the HIV virus!
MC: These two brave lovers...

First 20 minutes; Very funny

Last 10 minutes; Tried too hard. The cash injection was a flop.

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

Thought it had quite a few funny moments. At this point, we're long past assuming South Park will push the envelope of taste as far as it will go. Sometimes it hits, sometimes it misses. This was mostly a hit.

As for the cash . . . I took that in two ways. One, obviously that Magic has made it this long because he has a unique combination of money, time to work out, and a name that gets him access to a lot of things. Two, that funding for HIV research should be increased.

Sort of pedestrian with the "moral" tonight, but the episode did not suck.

 

[93Devil]

I hope my Tivo grabbed it.

What issues do you think they will go after this season?

NY gov?

Obama and Clinton?

Writer's strike?

It takes them what, three weeks to make an episode? They can stay pretty fresh with what they do.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

They've turned in a week, when they feel they have to.

 

[Chef]

Didn't they turn Steve Irwin and Scientology in a week as well?

 

[ondeadline]

The moral of the episode: Giving somebody HIV is basically as bad as being a tattletale. And getting HIV is so bad that even Cartman will turn down ice cream at that point.

Seriously, I guess they are trying to point out that focus on AIDS has faded.

I'm watching it now on Comedy Central.

 

[rube]

I just don't know how the show will go on without ClydeFrog.

 

[Bullrog]

I was disappointed. Usually they go all out for the season opener.

Only thing I thought was really funny was Jimmy Buffett.

 

[Perry White]

I was disappointed. Usually they go all out for the season opener.

Only thing I thought was really funny was Jimmy Buffett.

Agreed; I turned it off halfway through.

 

[bostonbred]

Hilarious as usual. Butters was great, especially when he kissed Cartman and when him and Jimmy were the only two to shop up to the Buffett dinner.

"I'm not just sure, I'm HIV positive"

 

[KYSportsWriter]

I'm still breaking your XBox.

 

[Omar_dont_scare]

The guy going to Nigeria to announce the AIDS cure made the cash injection bit funny.

 

[Barsuk]

"Little boy, are you sure you haven't taken it up the hoo-hoo just once or twice?"

 

[hockeybeat]

It started off as an episode that could rival "Scott Tenorman Must Die" only to taper off in the last ten minutes. Although Magic spinning a basketball on his finger caused a fit of laughter.

 

[Grimace]

**** you Jimmy Buffet you ****ing suck!

The only people that like Jimmy Buffet are frat boys and alcoholic women in the South.

----------------------------

That was so satisfying to hear. Awesome.

I saw a special on South Park that talked about the animation process.
Basically they use computers that are super powerful and can do pretty much anything, but to produce the South Park look, you basically need some construction paper and a pair of scissors.
So they can turn around an episode in no time at all, as long as it doesn't have extra animation effects.

 

[93Devil]

Just watched it, and thought it was a great episode.

I thought the money aspect of HIV was very strong, and I think the show drove its point home very well.

I did think the sneaking into the room at night was a little much.

Was I the only one that picked up on this?
