Wow. Simply awesome from the beginning. Amazing!

The actual Tiger video game scenes were funny, the rest of it was pretty meh.  They need to do more episodes where it's just the boys being boys.  The episodes where they try to hammer home a message are usually terrible.

Which season are they on now?

I felt the exact opposite of you. The message makes the product.

And nothing needs to be hammered into the collective conscious more than Tiger Woods is none of their fucking concern, and it's perfectly natural.

Although the episode was funny, they've done better though. I was slightly underwhelmed. Maybe I got too hyped up about a new season

Loved the south park logic though. "Independence hall... Independence day.... Aliens!"

Most of the episode was very meh. The only saving grace was Butters losing his fucking mind after seeing bush for the first time. Hilarious.

I feel like South Park has been sliding for a few seasons now - the last really good thing they did was Imaginationland.  Since then they've been pretty hit or miss for me.  Last night was overall not impressive, though it had a few moments, like when Kenny killed himself (or better yet, the fact that they buried him in the Batman costume ) or when Butters tried to trim the bush at the cemetery.

[Xalinor]

The more recent seasons have been awful. Parker and Stone seem to be losing their touch.

Last night's episode was very average, IMO.

, but they can still knock it out of the park every once in a while.  Case in point: the Butters pimp episode.  And even their bad episodes are better than most anything else out there.

southpark ripping Tiger made me laugh out loud a few times, despite my general dislike for when people discredit sex addiction as an disease. It's still a funny show.

Where's the barf emoticon when you need it?

[Xalinor]

Tonight's episode was vintage South Park: outlandish, vulgar, and friggin' hilarious.

[WrathOfTinyKittens]

I agree, tonight was a big improvement over last week.  Still got a ways to go to ascend back to the top, but it was good to see them just being ... irreverent, and not preachy.

[Brude]

I liked the Tiger Woods episode a lot. I think the show is still mostly excellent. A few months back I did see the very first episode that I out and out thought sucked called More Crap, though looking it up it was actually from Season 11. Something about Randy squeezing out an enormous shit that beats Bono's world record. It was really, really bad. Just nothing to it at all. My friend who caught it with me hated it, too. But that was an anomaly. I think the shows are still 70% awesomeness, 25% pretty good, and 5% lame.

Yeah, it's like the Wookie Defense or the business plan of the Underpants Gnomes, but too often that seems to be the kind of "logic" people use these days in their arguments about things, or how Wall Street runs the world financial systems...just like the Underpants Gnomes.

or like the one where they try to return the small appliance to Sur Le Table, only to find it's now owned by the government who then determines it's worth TEN MILLION DOLLARS.

Correction: it was actually worth 90 billion, according to the Treasury Dept's infallible value-placement system

Well, the episode did have a message. But it was a bit less obvious than the first one, I guess. It was funny, but a bit too much vomiting for my taste. Really I dont need to see that for 20 minutes.

I hope we get some more episodes with a lot of Cartman, though. Those are always the best. The first one barely had the kids at all, and this one featured a lot more of butters. Without Cartman the show wouldnt have been half as good.

yeah, I didn't remember the actual figure.

About this week's episode, they do bring up an interesting point, Catcher in the Rye really didn't have any deeper meaning that I can figure out, though just like the kids in South Park, I've heard everyone since high school try to ascribe it one. It's something I've known for a while, since I've read the book perhaps a dozen times, but never actually put into words until just now.

[drawkcabi]

Ok tonight's episode was the funniest episode I've seen in a long while.

Loved the Tron parody.
