South Park - Funny as hell or too far?

[someguy51]

I like the show but all you get on Shaw cable are ones that are at least 2 years old. By the time I see the Steve Irwin episode it won't be too soon.

I think its hilarious that people were offended by the 10 sec of facetime that Steve Irwin had at Satan's party, while in the exact same episode there were Catholic priests that had half-naked children on leashes, and nobody bats an eyelash.

I think Kyle puts it best in episode 1004:

"If you don't show Mohammed, then you've made a distinction what is okay to poke fun at, and what isn't. Either it's all okay, or none of it is."

Well, you can download them.

the guys from southpark have it posted on their website that they actually want people to do it, because they want more people to watch it.

Ive been trying to find the link, but I can't, and my class is ending.

maybe when i get home.

In that episode, Jesus defacates all over everyone and no one cares that Jesus was depicted taking a dump on a bunch of people.

But the Manatees sure do explain a lot.

Here is a link to the episode with the Steve Irwin scene.

I believe he was also taking a crap on the American flag as well.

South Park is great... I love the fact that they go to far and throw political correctness out the window completely.

Never liked the show. I find they go too far for the sake of going there, not because it's actually funny.
Making a good joke about something taboo is one thing, and being taboo as the joke is another.

South Park just gets better with each season. the last couple episodes with Cartman in the future might have been just average, but the World of Warcraft episode, the Hardley Boys, and Cartman as Dog the Bounty Hunter were all brilliant. i nearly died i was laughing so hard during each of those

[chuckles19]

anyone else think aqua teen hunger force is funny?

[SpitFire40]

The newest one was golden too

Yep.

Great show, obiously not for everyone though.

They spare no one either.

The Lord of the Rings episode was classic. Poor Butters.

I almost died laughing at the Woodland Critter Christmas episode
"Blood orgy!"

It's absolutely true. It's all funny until someone makes fun of something you believe in. Some people need to learn to make fun of themselves, South Park has been doing it for years. (as well as many other things.)

I love these two lines from the Warcraft episode:

"This could very well mean the end of the world.... of warcraft".

"Guys! When things look bad, you can't just give up on the world... of warcraft".

"You can just hang out outside all day tossing a ball around, or you can sit on your computer and do something that really matters."

Classic, I don't even own the game and that episode cracks me right up

yep. funny how Isaac Hayes never had a problem when the show ripped on christianity, judaism, islam, or whatever else. but as soon as they make fun of scientology then they've gone too far. real hipocritical act for him to quit the show after that

I don't find it nearly as funny as some do. It goes too far over the line a lot of the time IMO. There's only so much fart, poop, etc jokes I can take. Some of it's hilarious and lot's of it is just tasteless. I find early and mid Family Guy quite a bit funnier but the latest episodes are really weak.

As a parent I found this latest one a bit too much for me.. funny but horrible!
