Hilarious.

Plot line and funniest bits please!

[Demiurge]

I like how they acknowledge the formula that the show follows.

Other than that, I didn't find this one funny at all. This season has not impressed me.

*Can't judge because I havent seen this series yet cos it's not on in the UK yet, BUT* What about the Mormons episode? I heard good things about that one.

Christian Rock Hard was better in my opinion.

[Durandal]

Hilarious. This season, they're on a roll. I'm going to have to make a recording of the smoking song if I can.

"You just go around imposing your will on people! That is so awesome!"
-Cartman to Rob Reiner.

[Nathan F]

This one was GREAT! I love how South Park is always ragging on people for not taking responsibility for their own actions.

And the parts about Rob Reiner was fricken HILARIOUS!

Well, if you think Mormonism is hilarious...

I loved where Kyle forsees that if they help Cartman run o the Tobacco company they'll end up with the entire town out with torches ablazing having to save the day with a touching change of heart sppech, however if they fess up they can avoid it but they'll be grounded for three weeks...pause and cut to angry townsolk with burning torches.

Yes I know the description doesn't do it justice but ahhh, so much fun.

[Einhander Sn0m4n]

BWAAHAHAHAHA! LMAO!!!

What would make it better: Replace the Tobacco company with marijuana farmers and Rob Reiner's anti-smoking idiots with DEA thugs complete with swastika armbands, and they'd nail it right on the bullseye. LOL

I couldn't stop laughing when they first showed Reiner at his headquarters devouring fast food burgers and wiping the sweat from his head with a rag.

I don't normally recommend this, but have you heard of a little program called "Kazaa Lite"? That is ALL I am going to say.

All I'm going to say is that my comp memory is SEVERLY limited due to age, although I fail to see what thats got to do with Kazaa Lite, which I have heard of extensively...

Ok, I haven't seen the episode and this is kinda off-topic but ...

What about the people who run the Tobacco companies? They sell a product that when used correctly can kill you. Why shouldn't they take responisibility for their actions?

People who shout, 'Personal responsibility!' seem to forget businesses are made up of people too.

Even funnier: Rob Reiner was on Kid Notorious, and he looked *EXACTLY* THE SAME!!!

It's mentioned that they acknowledge that it can kill, but there is a clear warning and so it is the consumer's choice, even in the face of that knowledge, whether to smoke or not.

And that's the American way.

[Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi]

I found all of the bits with Rob Reiner hilarious, especially the part where Cartman stuck a fork into him and he started bleeding goo, and that part where the anti-smoking group says that if you don't smoke, you could be just like them and then it cuts to the boys smokind at the back of the school was good too, but that's about it.

What would you have them do, exactly? People are well-informed, by the tobacco companies and by the general media, that cigarettes are hazardous to your health.

People who shout, 'Personal responsibility!' seem to forget businesses are made up of people too.

Of course they are, but light smokers are at a far smaller risk for lung cancer than people who measure their smoking in packs per day. It all depends on how much you use the product. Heavy smokers, who are at great risk for lung cancer, happen to abuse the product, just like fat people abuse McDonald's food.

The only thing that really separates the two situations is that American tobacco companies put a lot of extra chemicals into their cigarettes to make them more addicting. Foreign tobacco makers are not necessarily guilty of this; Djarum, for instance, does not load up their cigarettes with extra additives.
