I don't really consider THOH to be part of the "gimmick episodes" list, as that is pretty much a given for each season.

Another episode that made me go "Why even bother?", as this came off as yet another gimmicky episode that is pretty much the Simpsons writers screaming "We're officially out of ideas".

My idea of a Top Gear ride: a ride similar to Test Track at Epcot Center featuring the "theme park" version of the legendary Top Gear test track, with some of the more memorable vehicles from the show (i.e the combine harvester/snow plow hybrid) on display in the queue area.

Just like The Sound of Music last year, I passed on Peter Pan Live in favor of a live show that fits my interest: Rifftrax Live's Christmas show. This year, the gang revisited the Mexican Santa Claus movie, and it was a definitely a hoot (especially when you see the stuff that was cut from MST3K version in order to…

First, the episode that you're referring to (Ike's Wee Wee) is actually a Season 2 episode.

Yeah, I don't really care about "Let's Play" videos, but the point that I was making is that it seems like Trey and Matt are treating not just "Let's Play" videos, but "Internet commentary" in as a whole in a negative manner this episode, specifically in terms of the "no one wants to be in the living room" idea, while…

Not only do I agree with the MST3K response, but this also leads to one of the problems with the "Let's Play" portion of the episode: the episode seems to focus too much on the negative side of "Internet commentary" (specifically those who make videos where they play and comment on video games). The truth of the…

…or Trey and Matt had written an episode that is easier for the reviewer to understand (as he was the one who covered the Oculus Rift episode, an episode that is pretty much confusing in terms of what is really going on in the episode outside of "Stan being stuck in a VR version of South Park".

In terms of a Charlie Brown Christmas, here's the major moments that I know are cut from the "companion piece to the newest Disney Christmas special" version:

It's currently scheduled for December 16th. This keeps up with ABC's usual tradition of having two airings of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" during the holiday season, with the second airing (which, on years where ABC airs a new Disney/Pixar special, is also the airing of the "uncut" version) airing exactly two weeks…

Just a little warning: the version of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" that airs tonight is the severely butchered version that usually airs alongside the premiere of a new Disney/Pixar Christmas special (and thus most likely butchered, alongside the reason to fit the special into a half-hour time slot in an era where…

O is for "Oklahoma" (as in the hilarious bit where Forgetful Jones' attempt to sing the title song results in him going through all the vowels leading up to O, with director Kermit the Frog slowly losing it).

My decision to pass on this episode ended up being a good move, as, given the reviews here, the Simpsons/Futurama crossover ended up being the cheap "ratings ploy" episode that I expected it to be once I first heard about this episode.

Adding to this discussion, here's another Extra Credits video worth watching in terms of F2P : https://www.youtube.com/wat…

The problem here is that the episode isn't consistently funny as you claim it to be. Most of its steam in terms of humor IMO comes from the climax involving the Canadian Devil (which is the type of cleverness that, when it works, I enjoy when it comes to South Park). However, to get to that, the episode has to go…

In terms of Goth Kids 3, keep in mind that the episode followed the same "six days to air" approach as the other episodes, with more than one week being put into it as a result of power outages. Given how there was a preview clip of it during the airing of Goth Kids 3, Taming Strange is also an episode that Trey and…

On the "why they should change their method" issue: the issue here is that the Trey and Matt of the mid-2000's isn't the same as what we have today, as today's standards (and some possible burnout after finding huge success via The Book of Morman) now have them relying too much on the same standard "story elements"…

Even then, the show that will be replacing it will sadly not be Bob's Burgers, but rather another animated series produced by Seth MacFarlane.

It helped that Trey and Matt took last week off, thus giving the animators more time to pull off some decent animation for the drones.

When it comes to the "all adults are idiots" aspect, the problems that I have with it stems first from those incidents post-Season 5 where the kids are forced to be the "voice of reason" instead of having them act like normal children and second from Trey and Matt relying too much on the concept in more recent years…
