Anyone else think it was weird that he had an issue with having multiple naked versions of his ideal woman in bed, all of whom seemed to be totally into it? Like, okay, 5 or 6 might be a bit much, but he starts panicking at like 2. Come on, man.

A couple of months late, but I've just watched this and feel exactly the same. My issue with it is that, until the episode takes a turn after we find out that the roaches are human, this plays out like a below average, (largely) poorly acted action movie. None of the characters are anything beyond your stock military…
This is no way a justification of Brett and Zeke's behaviour towards David - I thought it was ugly and off-putting, and unnecessarily mean-spirited - but something HAD to have happened at camp that they didn't show us, right? Brett, in particular, seemed overly tetchy throughout tribal and was snapping at everyone for…
They weren't making fun of the importance of consent - they were making fun of the fact that a figure of authority is giving two straight boys a lesson on the appropriate manner in which to proceed in order to touch each others wieners.
Ugh, I hated them too. Their plan wasn't terrible, but they were just so damn obnoxious and smug about it. Fortunately, Jaime got her comeuppance in grand style when she got voted out after playing what I think was just a piece of wood as an idol, and Jeff just disdainfully tossed it into the fire before sending her…
Yeah, I think D.E.N.N.I.S. is by far the best reviewer this show's had in a while, but this review reads a little like he's let his knowledge of the behind the scenes action colour his views of the episode. I had no idea this was written by the GOT guys while I was watching it and none of the gang's behaviour seemed…
Exactly re: Token. It also showed how powerless he was in the situation because if he retaliated in any form, he would only be fulfilling Cartman's racist fantasies and in a twisted way be proving him right - something that mirrored certain sections of the media practically salivating over and encouraging the…
@avclub-a17bf70c7cfc521094e5cf8bc02bc04a:disqus While I enjoyed this episode a lot more than you did (it's nowhere close to being a classic, but it wasn't terrible either), I'm in complete agreement with you here.
In an episode dealing with some rather serious issues concerning race, I think I got the biggest laugh out of Cartman's imitation of a black man during his poem to Token. Caught me completely off-guard.
This is a great list of episodes. And the best thing about them, as I can attest to with "Best Friends Forever" and my complete ignorance of the Terry Schiavo case before watching it, is that you don't need to be familiar with any of the subjects or issues they're satirizing to find them hilarious.
Also, Cartman was shown to be wrong throughout the entire episode so I'm not sure what you're talking about there.
Seriously, it's baffling to me that anyone would think this episode was somehow representative of South Park's "both sides are stupid" worldview. This is the clearest stance (whether you think it was the right one or not) South Park has taken in ages.
Cartman "winning", and the injustice of everyone other than Stan & Kyle (usually the voices of reason) not only accepting it, but also trying to shift some of the blame onto Token, is exactly the point of the episode. He didn't win because he's a main character (btw this is a weird claim to make because the show…
Season 1 is pretty good. Season 2 is incredibly stupid but occasionally entertaining in a "holy shit what the fuck are the writers doing" and "how will van der werf contort his mind to defend this piece of shit in 8000 words" sort of way. The Season 3 premiere commits the worst sin a show like this commit - it's dull.
Here is Lydia (Laura Fraser) as a normal person - http://www.youtube.com/watc…
SPOILER ALERT - The movie ends with them realizing what they're doing to America as they struggle to keep up with the hot dog eating professionals who are completely confused as to why they're even there. "Why are they even here?" says Tommy, the hot dog eating champion, several times. Now because the metaphor may go…
I'm writing a script for Josh Duhamel, Ryan Reynolds and Sam Worthington to play themselves in a movie tentatively titled "Cram It Down Our Throats".
Yeah, there's some genuine anger in there. The last line seemed unnecessarily cruel though.
I'm with you on Zach. The scenes with him in the hotel room with Dexter & Hannah, plus the "who the fuck are you?"; "who the fuck are you?" exchange with an exasperated Deb was the funniest Dexter has been in years (intentionally funny, that is). It's like the writers suddenly developed the ability to realize the…
I don't think that was smugness so much as it was pure, unadulterated joy. He doesn't have a wide range of expressions though, so who knows.
