Meh. There are better shows on Comedy Central. Like Conan O'Brien, Jon Stuart, and Colin Quinn. Now that stuff is funny.

South Park is pretty stale nowadays.

When I can. Its a hit and miss thing. Much like the show. When its funny, its fucking hilarious. When its off, it sucks.

"I got the last gallon from some old guy in an ally. He told me to close my eyes and suck it out of a hose." -Carmen, where he got the last of his sperm for his sperm bank.

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I love how it pokes fun at... everything. It points out flaws of society in an incredibly amusing way. I love it.

Oh, and Cartman is such a fatass, that when people see him on the street, they say, "Oh my God that kid's a fatass!" :lol:

I just wish the voice acting on the show wasn't so horrible. Goddamnit, can't they hire some actors instead of cheaply splitting five voices among a hundred characters.

That's part of what makes the show funny. Personally, I think it's gotten better over time because they've started making fun of political issues. Even though I may not agree with their views on stem cell research, having Christopher Reeve crack open a fetus' neck and suck its stem cells out was pretty damn amusing.

I've seen it a few times, and it has amusing parts, like when they accidentally give a kid a porno instead of Lord of the Rings.

I like it, when I can remember to watch it, I loved one that I saw, I think it was satiring the post 9/11 USA, flags everywhere, everyone had gas masks and the cops were checking every school kid for weapons.

I believe Kenny was killed for good.

I used to watch and tape it regularly, but stopped right after the episode where Chef almost married a succubus first aired at least four years ago.

The reason: I just suddenly lost interest for some reason. :|

I only watch it occasionally, so it's always fresh to me.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I watch South Park religiously, and when it is funny, man is it funny. This season has had a few stinker episode so far, but ones like "Cancelled" and the Jennifer Lopez episode make up for a lot of it (ewwww...Ben Affleck spoogie!).

Sometimes even a single joke can make the entire episode. Remember the epsiode where Cartman was studying the Constitution, so he decided to knock himself out to have a vision? I think the whole episode was kind of lame, but when Cartman bludgeoned the guy over the head with a log while singing the theme music to Dawson's Creek, I laughed for the next fifteen minutes solid. Great, great, GREAT show when the writers really connect with their jokes.

After season 2 it got a little stale for me, but I try to catch it when I can. I missed the David Blaine episode on the other week.

The movie is the funniest shit though!
