south park isn't funny anymore

[BustedS13]

i'm seriously. last week was shaping up to be the best episode in several seasons, but then it turned into some fruity Cloverfield knockoff and it sucked.
then the Cloverfield knockoff turned into a two-parter. south park used to be really funny when they just made up storylines that weren't pop culture references. or, more specifically, dated pop culture references.

i'm a sad panda. discuss

I haven't seen the new episodes lately.

All the old school episodes were the shit.

Still watch the oldies from time to time.

"You got served!"

[LongGrain]

i agree

every south park episode is now a parody of some pop culture reference

it isnt even funny..

[spikNspan]

you just gotta go with the flow mang. just take it for what it is now and stop trying to make it what it used to be. they can't keep creating original story lines forever and ever, if they tried I bet it would get pretty repetitive. at least this way it's a different topic every time. I haven't watched new south park episodes in a while either, but ones like the world of warcraft episode and the internet running out are a couple that I have seen from this and past seasons and I thought it was hilarious.

since i started watching it back in 98' its been hilarious even with the loss of chef. this happens to all good shows anyway, look at the simpsons! and family guy! they change it nobody likes it, then all of a sudden after people get used to it, it gets hilarious again

It is still funny. Sure you may not like one episode or what not, but generally it's hilarious.

Like the new Simpsons, which kind of died out. Each cartoon has its time and each show had it's years.

REMEMBER WHEN YOU USED TO WATCH, FULL HOUSE? FAMILY MATTERS? SAVED BY THE BELL?

I just saw these damn shows again today, and I was like "WTF???" What was I thinking back then? But I was a young kid and the jokes and story lines made sense, but as I am older now, the story lines are so stupid!!

I still love Ninja Turtles, but again, I turned on the TV last saturday and there was "Ninja Turtles In Space." WTTTTTTFFFF??????

I don't know, just enjoy what ever comes, and watch it until it is no longer funny and move on.

Slowly everyone runs out of ideas............it's inevitable.

[ESmorz]

Nah the second half of this season has been pure unadulterated shit.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[SHIFT_*grind*]

I cringe when I realize how long South Park has been on, because it makes me feel old. 12 years. It doesn't feel like that long.

I don't watch it anymore, but whether it's losing its novelty or not......it's had a damn good run.

[Phlip]

Actually, I thought it was funny.
The pop culture references gave way for hamfisted parodies, but they are STILL using character development. For these 2 episodes, it was Craig, I thought how he repeatedly called them on the bullshit that has been their "formula" for years now, as it unfolded was hilarious.
But hey, maybe it is just me.

Although the last two-part episode wasn't that great, I think South Park has been actually getting better compared to a few seasons ago.
In my opinion the show was at its worst during its long streak of completely "unrealistic" episodes, about going into space, magic, working for the government, Mr. Garrison is a woman, and etc.
The new episodes have been more down-to-earth, which I like.

On the other hand, the new Family Guy seasons are complete garbage. Peter's voice is really annoying now, he acts like a child, Stewie talks too much and acts gay, the entire family openly hates Meg, Quagmire has been overly exploited, and so on. I miss the old episodes, when Peter actually wanted to be a good family guy, but was a screw-up. I hope they eventually go back to their old ways as well.

Holy crap, I said that to my girlfriend when we were watching that last episode, "how high were they when they came up with that idea?" Real Guinea pigs in costumes? WTF? I have to admit that the guinea pirate at the end was pretty funny.

Get out of my head man. True on both counts.

[Farzam]

South Park is good, just not as much.

South Park has been loyal for years and years, don't give up hope

[DreamN]

Shows are hit or miss. I enjoyed the last two. I freakin' loved the "The Breast Cancer Show Ever." Made me fall in love with Cartman's character all over again.

I agree with that, it was a return to the "evil" Cartman.

The 2-parter, as well, was one of those times where they took the chance to do something silly as HELL (c'mon, Guinea Monsters?) and use the rare dialog from Craig to pick on themselves.

You guys know why no one in school likes you guys? It's because you guys come up with these stupid plans, and they always backfire... Then you wind up in another country or outer space or something... That is why no one in the school hangs out with you guys.

THAT line, as they were sitting at the interrogation table, FLOORED me, I couldn't stop laughing at it EVERY time Craig went back to it for the rest of the episodes.

[C. Senor]

i actually thought the new ones about peru were funny. maybe because i'm peruvian though. but you're right, the newer ones just arent as funny as they used to. maybe because we're used to it.

[alindeman1989]

Yeah the South park this year so far sucked ass. The last good ones were Imagination land.

i thought the intent of the Southpark show is to take a popular culture reference/fad and to make a funny parody out of it???

that's like saying:

porn is getting boring

every porn movie is now a guy sticking his weiner in some chick

[HyperTek]

never was a die hard southpark fan but i enjoy it sometimes.. usually tho people in my house will see me watchin and think im watching some cartoons lol


offtopic= they needa do a 3rd season of the boondocks dammit!

[40daws]

It's still funny.

[Antihero983]

I'M STARTLED!!!!

lol

[BrokenWhite240]

Lol I thought it was funny, "OMG, It's a guineasaurus rex." And speaking of the pan flute pans there was one in Salem, Mass. this weekend. lol

[renegade_ewok]

the guinea pig thing was awesome... they must sit around stoned all the time and brainstorm

[ZenkiKid]

I AM SO.. STARTLED....


hahah dude the episode before this one was funny when wendy kicked cartmans ass

[SexPanda]

Im a sad panda too...



but yeah I agree. Southpark was way funnier when everything was non-sequitur. (think season 1)

Its still funny, but I really enjoy the old episodes better. Like Starvin Marvin, and when Kenny actually died.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

I do miss the more "slapstick" humor of the older episodes, but do you guys really think if they stuck to the "somebodies baking brownies" jokes the show would have lasted a decade plus?

i think trey parker and matt stone are some of the most creative comedic minds ever and have much respect for both of them.

It is still very much so funny, but at the same time more sophisticated i guess, like phlip was talking about how craig pokes fun at them cause of the boys equation: rediculous idea + backfire= hilarity ensues.

the cheesing episode was the funniest episode this season imo. you can watch every episode here btw, lol i have: South Park Studios

[racepar1]

It had to happen eventually. I mean how long could all that win last for. I'm sure it'll get better, just a low point right now.

Lol. Did you notice what Cartman was wearing in that episode?

If you've ever seen the movie Philadelphia, with Tom Hanks, you'll get it.

[240love]
