*1705: Taming Strange* Post-Air Discussion

[mo303564]

To me, it was another medicore episode.

Positives: Good Storyline. Nice to see the Canadians. Great to pick on Miley Cyrus and ObamaCare Failures. Also nice to see that it's a media tabu issue (my school has all these links too, and they suuucked!!) I think people need to realize that technology isn't always the answer! Good role by Mackey and his BS. Nice Music. BTW. Funniest moment for me was Tom Brady, and yea...I'm a HUGE pats fan!

Negatives: Wasn't the funniest episode. Didn't have a real memorable moment....and a long side note to boot: I think the episode needs to be a slide into what I hope will be the kids FINALLY moving up to the 5th grade. I really think it's time. The longer they don't push that, the longer the show kinda looks well, too enthralled for fourth grade talk. Ike should be like moved to the 2nd grade (he is that smart) just to keep up with the movement of the show.

7.8/10

I just recently watched this (I recorded in the DVR) and I was like "What the fuck?" The ending was a nice little bonding between Kyle and Ike, it's adorable.

So...

Anyone who thinks streamlining health care into an integrated health care system would go smoothly deserves a giant queef in their face.

...does this mean that the new version of South Park Studios won't return?

I thought the "question of the day" for this one might had been, why is Tom Brady getting Canadian medication?

Also who voiced Ike's grown-up voice?

Someone should point out that South Park predicted Miley Cyrus going all trampy way back in '08 at the end of Britney's New Look. Gotta have another good corn harvest...

First of all like a billion people HAVE already pointed that out and they always seem to act as if they are the first to do so. Secondly that episode was about how the media and the public react to celebrities. It predicted people obsessing over Miley and her behaviour. Which is exactly what people are doing by not shutting up about it and how South Park should make an episode about it.

Also people seem so desperate to see this episode as a ruthless attack on Miley but I don't think it was very malicious towards her at all. At the very most it was saying that her "rebellious stage" seems a little forced but it also mentions how that phase is a part of growing up. Bottom line can we all just move on from Miley Cyrus now that they finally brought it up? I reckon she will end up mellowing out in a few years anyway.

One more thought about this ep is that the Kyle/Ike storyline was the cutest thing ever and a classic example of South Park having a sweet side. And it genuinely baffles me how people could dislike Kyle.

Off in a conference room somewhere I bet there is some guy arguing for the Gold Package - "Time to double down people!!"

I'm pretty sure Matt voiced grown-up Ike. Sounds just like him.

[AlexTri89]

But yeah, I really enjoyed this episode! Funny and heartwarming. Glad Kyle got more screen time, and I had a feeling they were going for the Miley thing once Foofa said she couldn't do the kid thing anymore. But the ending was just the cutest thing!

I can't speak as to her strange, but her headlights are nothing to write home about.

How come this episode wasn't censored? Curse words weren't bleeped.

Good question. Some episodes are censored and others aren't. I liked the whole Kyle/Ike interaction and the throwback to "Kick the baby".
