*1707: Black Friday* Post-Air Discussion

I didn't notice it till the second time I watched it but there is a image of a uterus on the side of Stan's hat, LOL

Fabulous work guys! This really hits home when you've worked in retail. That's why many won't get some of it, I think. Beautiful ending with Kenny's homage to the Peter Sellers movie, The Mouse That Roared.

Too Good for one episode I guess...let the War Commence!!


I am hopeful that for the second episode, we truly see Kenny as a SPY!! That would be epic...and I also hope that the mall turns around and ruins thanksgiving by opening earlier.....Come on people!! Wal-Mart is open at 6PM. This is truly a gimic for more money and yes...people get destroyed on Black Friday. I feel sorry for the old Mall Cop Captain with the eye patch...didn't deserve it.

As for this episode (I will withold a "grade" due to a 2 part episode).

Positives: Loved the Star Trek, Game of Throwns play. Loved Butter's "Gay Weiner" whole obcession. and ELMO!! LMFAO. That is truly the best part!! Loved the seperation of sides...It truly IS a war this holiday between the two systems. Alas....it is a war I am not fighting, because until I see each system working and how it handles, I will stick with my 360.

Negatives: Kudos to them making fun of Their own f*ckin video game and how long it is taking for that game to come out!! I feel like Cartman trying to count down the days until it is here. Unfortunately the Wii had a date on it, and this game....I've waited almost 2 years for!! and now I still have to wait AT LEAST another 4 months for!!!

*ahem*

The only negative, I didn't like the "Sony" guy having sex. I know it's animation and I know that this is a "MA" show but seriously?? That was pretty graphic porn there.

Big missed opportunity to bring back the "Move along, sir" security guard from Something You Can Do With Your Finger/Cartmanland. That guy and the mall manager are some of my favorite extremely minor characters across the series. Maybe they died last Black Friday.

Awesome episode I give it a 9/11!
I laughed really good, and enjoyed the episode as a whole. I was smiling for most of the episode.
Since Stan is my favorite character it's only natural we think alike, the PS4 has the better controller and is the superior of the two. My prediction is either the Wii U will win or PC. Lady McCormick is my favorite part!

The gratuitous sexual scene plays into the whole Game of Thrones angle on the story. Brace yourself for more of that next week. I wouldn't be shocked if Kenny got roped in to some of that action given his persona. Watch out!


Kind of an aside, I watched Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers before this week's new one and I can't help but notice how much Butters has evolved on the subject of porn. Seeing a porno totally fucked him up back in season 6. 11 years later, the gratuitous sexual content of Game of Thrones simply makes him point out some inconsistencies or double standards in the show's nudity. Seems out of character for him. I know the guys need one character to articulate their opinion about the week's subject, but Butters astute insights into male nudity is hilariously mismatched with the character we all know.

It plays into the series-long trend many have noticed of the boys becoming ever more worldly in the ways of all things sexual.

Don't forget the family who want to kill a girl on Black Friday because their own daughter was killed in a Black Friday rush. Dressed as a princess, raped and killed. A most epic way to go.

And Butters wasn't all that innocent back in the LOTR episode. He knew he'd get in trouble for acting out his sexual thoughts. He just experienced an urge that outweighed any punishment he'd get for having it. Even earlier, in season 4's "A Very Crappy Christmas," he was playing with construction-paper cutouts of himself and Barbie:

Uh-m, alright, alright then. [the door closes, and a few second later, he reaches into a top drawer and pulls out a Barbie cutout. In falsetto...] "Oh, uh, hello, good-lookin'? What's your name?" [moves the Butters cutout] "Huh, Butters, ma'am." [moves the Barbie cutout while in falsetto] "Well, Butters, would you like to slap my- titties around?" [moves the Butters cutout closer] "Whoa! Well, uhuh" [a smile of fantasy flashes across his face] "Uh, no thanks, ma'am. Uh I, I'll get in trouble again." [guiltily puts the cutout away.]

Evidently, his parents have let up on him, and he can be a normal (for South Park) boy, albeit with some lingering obsessions, as Cartman pointed out.

I don't think (a) sequel(s) to this episode would be complete without somehow referencing the Red Wedding.

That sounds like a level of betrayal only Cartman could pull off - but clearly the Lady McCormick can't be underestimated either.

But I am almost definitely expecting some Red Wedding goodness.

I'm fine with a Red Wedding reenactment as long as no recurring characters end up dying (except for Kenny of course).

I've gotta watch it again, but Dammit, there goes my idea for my superhero. "Look! In that bush! Its a crab! No! Its a man in a boat! No! Its UTERUS MAN!!!"

[queso6p4]

Even though I didn't get the Game of Thrones references, having only seen the first episode, this episode was funny throughout and is my favorite newer one.

Just for you.

It also could be a one-parter. It was an episode about Black Friday. Next week could fool us and be about something else. (I hope it's a two-parter or a trilogy, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is it for this subject).

For now, I'll just say:

WINTER IS COMING!

XBOX ONE!

CHOOSE A SIDE!

After seeing the episode again, and reading this thread, I still think it was a one episode topic. I think next week will be a different episode. When nall posts the previews for Wednesday this Sunday or Monday we'll know for sure. But my hunch is that it was a one part episode. If I'm wrong, I'll be very happy

[BRMBug]

Just for you.

erm... yes?

ty.

"Before this is over, the winner of the console wars will be decided!" *episode ends*

...

Yeah, no, I think this might be a two-parter guys.

I'm crossing my fingers for Bill and/or Fosse to talk.

Big missed opportunity to bring back the "Move along, sir" security guard from Something You Can Do With Your Finger/Cartmanland. That guy and the mall manager are some of my favorite extremely minor characters across the series. Maybe they died last Black Friday.

Oddly enough, I'm 99% sure we saw that classic security guard in a Stick of Truth trailer. I was pretty sure we'd see him in this episode based on that.
