Starts Tonight. In Fact, in about 10 Min.

Excitement.

It was ok. Not one of my favorites, but watchable.

Decent episode. MUCH better than last season's opener.

15 eh? Damn they crank that stuff out fast.

Cartman's whole "Hey Mom, can I borrow your Lipstick? I at least want to look pretty when you FUCK ME." and others had me rolling.

The rest of the episode was alright, not the best, but not the worse.

I hate poop so this episodes "poop/funny" ratio was a little too off for me. Not bad, but not that awesome either.

Yeah poop is usually not very good, especially when compared to earlier stuff like Mr. Hankey, which you just can't top. But the Asian man pooping did get some chuckles out of me.

It wasn't graphic poop, which I appreciated it. I liked the episode a lot.

I was pretty cold on this episode, obviously--I usually have no problem with SP characters being put in horrible situations for the sake of humor, but for some reason, Kyle's plight just was not funny to me. I feel like they played that part too straight, and I ended up feeling sorry for the three of them, instead of finding it funny. But maybe I'm just overly sensitive. If they had played it for more laughs, I think I would have found it more palatable.

The rest of the episode was great though. Cartman was just classic. Also nice to see his mom stand up to him for a change...that doesn't happen too often.

I was thinking the same thing. I immediately thought "Wow, she's not taking his shit for a change. Good for you."

It was okay. Funny, but some things I did not need to see.

The whole scene with the cuttlefish and asparagus was way too funny. Hahaha, vanilla paste, wtf?!

I see where you're coming from Hawk, however I guess if I had a complaint about it, it would have to do with the weak resolution, Kyle is carried offscreen and promised to be fixed. We don't get any insight or comments from he or the other two people, especially after being put through hell. Maybe a good quip to Steve Jobs or something might've done a little good.

But it wasn't a major deal to me. I guess because both Kyle and Cartman have lost the rest of any form of innocence they had by allowing them to both commit murder in the last season, which is essentially looked at as the worst crime in most cultures. Sure, both Kyle and Cartman had "killed" before (Kenny and the 1776 messenger), however these circumstances never stick. But Kyle is forced to kill, and Cartman runs over a few people in NASCAR, so it really kills the shred of innocence they had left, especially since Trey and Matt going to great lengths to protect that integrity earlier on (Cartman using extreme measures on Scott Tenerman's parents, but not personally killing them), so it really bothered me when they did eventually have the boys do this. So essentially, I don't think they have any boundaries left as children, so I'm able to really overlook anything that happens to them anymore.

And Cartman setup Scott Tenorman's parents to be killed, then made them into chili.

Yea.

And I can't remember exactly, but I know there have been other situations where people have died as by-products of their actions.

Like when Cartman was the big mutated trapper keeper, he killed Rosie O'Donnel and I am sure some other folks along the way.

Kyle and the Jesus thing didn't stick, because he was resurrected. The Trapper Keeper thing is slightly valid, but he wasn't technically his actions. The only boy who should kill is Butters, out of pure irony.

I think they should have made this episode a year ago. Seems kind of irrelevant now, considering the iPad's a year old and the Human Centipede is 2 years old; I feel like I've made half the jokes they had about the centipede already with my friends. Other than that, Cartman stole the show as he often does, and the portrayal of Steve Jobs was a lot nicer than I thought it would be, given his recent health issues.

Tonight's was decent. I enjoyed the Tyler Perry-Token interplay.

Although the swerve at the end was pretty funny, this episode fell flat. I guess it's because I didn't watch the Comedy Awards, so I don't know stupid it was.

Yeah, this episode had a few chuckle moments, but it wasn't that great.

Thought it was funny that the two episodes before it were both of the Osama Bin Laden ones thought.

You know, I've gotten to the point where I expect them to knock a whole episode out in two days or so, I was disappointed when they didn't do Osama...but I understand it's something that caught everyone off guard. I'm sure we'll probably see it next week or sometime before the season is over...hopefully. They can address people's fascination with wanting to see pictures or whatever.

Oh I totally agree on both counts--that their innocence is gone, and that I don't necessarily like that.

However, it wasn't the fact that it was Kyle specifically that bothered me. Even if it hadn't been any regular characters, I wouldn't have liked it. It just wasn't funny, and I'd have felt bad for the characters regardless of who they were.

On another note, SP starts for us West Coasters in about 40 minutes! Very Happy
