*1407: Crippled Summer* Post-Air Discussion

[Kruegster]

I have been SP since season 1, and this is the worst episode I have ever seen.

What was funny about the episode? Later, I watched the episode again to try to figure out what could be funny. In the whole episode the only moment where I laughed (both times watching it) was when Eric Cartman recited anti-Jew talk from the huge stack of papers. Two other ok moments, where I could see someone laughing: Towlie and a woman with Washcloth, and the therapist guy crying with Towlie and Washcloth.

What else was funny?

A stupid villian making plans that backfire can be funny, but in the SP episode, the plots are pretty obious and very predicatable-you just know that the Red Captain will get blown up by his own C4. The only twist, that someone might not be expecting, was the raping shark... but I thought that was more weird than funny.

A towel smoking marijuana can be funny, but in this episode, I don't think most of Towlie's moments are even remotely funny. All he does is smoke something over an over again. Mkay... Does much happen with the addicted Towel? Not a whole lot-most of what he does is smoke and smoke and smoke and suck a guys dick and throw up on a girl and smoke... Towlie may be good for a luagh once and a while, but just showing him smoking over and over again isn't all that exciting.

It is one thing to see an episode with great jokes and really funny parts along with some creepy moments, but in this episode there are creepy moments of a towel sucking a dick and a shark raping a retard without the funny moments. I almost wonder if matt and trey forgot to put funny moments in the epsiode

At least after this episode: sometime in the future when you're sitting around with your friends debating when south park "jumped the shark" you will have the perfect answer. it was the one where the shark jumped Nathan.

In South Park, you don't jump the shark, the shark jumps YOU!

This wasn't a bad episode, but was definetly not my favourite. It didn't quite seem like a regular southpark episode (I don't even know what a regular one is) but yeah.. I found the funniest part was when Cartman read his speech. What I found really funny about that was how he was completely serious about Kyle and the jews. lol. Of course he would do something like that. Other then that i didn't find much funny parts. It was a decent episode.

Can someone help me? You know how people have little quotes things at the end of their reply? well i wanna have one (im new and kinda stupid to this lol) and i dont know if theres a certain thing u click on to create one or if u just type it at the end. yeah so can someone tell me. Dont judge me for being dumb

I thought that was in Soviet Russia. But anyway, people claiming that SP jumped the shark over this episode is ridiculous.

[daaavey]

It seems to me that the point of this episode was to create the most offensive episode possible (making fun of crippled people) just to illustrate that society has its priorities out of whack. While the previous 2 episodes were censored for ridiculous reasons, this episode, which contained actual highly offensive material, was allowed to air, uncensored, in its entirety.

I had a nightmare last night, dreamt of a new southparkepisode about 'Flash Gordon'. the crew had the secret to humor. They had to defend it and keep it safe. Of course kenny was tossed into the pit of doom and got himself impaled. The crew were shouting for Flash to help them out and save the world but 'Flash Cartman' was too busy selling the secret to the overlord who immediately neutralised it.

I am tired of South Park making fun of the Jews


I'm part jewish myself and I really don't see why South Park couldn't make fun of them. They rip on EVERYBODY. Don't let it get to you man, or you'll end up like that ginger kid on YouTube. ^^

I enjoyed watching this episode and seeing Towlie again. Yeah it's not one of my favorites, but it was funny.
