[QUOTE=Carne;35326415]The intro also show quick shots from upcoming episodes, yes?[/QUOTE]
I thought the intro showed shots from older episodes
as batmoutarde said it shows stuff from past episodes. after the mid season break it will show stuff from the first half in the intro, but again [B]south park is made in a week so they don't know what the next episode will be.[/B]
What is the last south park episode? I haven't noticed that they have
made any this year? :O
[QUOTE=Buzzin;35323656]What are you talking about dumbass, next episode is about human evolution or some shit, says so on the website.[/QUOTE]
woah, calm your tits mang, haven't you seen the promos?
Cartman and Butters in the woods with a night-vision filter as they talk about finding a Chupacabra.
But I recall reading that tonight's episode also focused on the Republican Primaries (maybe something like The Snuke).
so it's a meme episode, apparently

"memeing"
planking as a meme
alright so nobody understands the concept of a meme
well it is a meme, just not a completely internet meme
[quote]An element of a culture or behavior that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, esp. imitation.[/quote]
[QUOTE=thrawn2787;35338299]well it is a meme, just not a completely internet meme[/QUOTE]
True, but the context they're using it in is a little...off.
that's really only because you probably only think of memes as things posted to the internet (like comics and such). in reality the idea and the term meme have been around a lot longer
anyways the train joke was used too much, only really got funny at the very end there
But that's how they're using it, aren't they? Meme is less used in a sociological sense and more in the internet sense. Considering that, the show would definitely be making commentary on whatever the contemporary usage of the word is, which is in the internet sense. And since everything was in relation to minor internet fads (cats, planking)...
I felt that was a weak episode. Not terrible, just weak when compared to the first wo.
the trains were funny

sorry meme prof. rusty
Wow they used voice clips of actual real people, I think that's a first for South Park
Barely watch it anymore, that ginger kid is making everything bad in the world and it's cancer.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;35340044]it's a fad, not a meme[/QUOTE]
They're the same exact thing.
It's like saying "That's a salmon, not a fish."
What I love is how, even after the episode, I see so many people saying stuff like "Ha! It was awesome how they made fun of Taylor Swift like that! And those debates were SPOT. ON."
[b]The point of the episode[/b]
[b]Their head[/b]
I actually really liked this episode, although I thought the whole butters thread was a bit pointless, and the ending seemed retarded until [sp]They made the self aware pandering joke, which is probably just a comment on the whole episode itself, which is pretty clever.[/sp]
I didn't really like the new episode because now all the idiots at my school who wouldn't shut up about planking are now doing that dumb Faith Hill thing.
[QUOTE=simkas;35342418]Wow they used voice clips of actual real people, I think that's a first for South Park[/QUOTE]
I think they did that in the Smug Alert episode.
Didn't enjoy this episode as much at all
Judging by the evolution comments they were using the original Dawkins definition of meme which is more correct than the internet one in a way.
I still cringe when I hear that word out loud thanks to insipid nerds. At least they pronounced it right.
Guess I was the only one that found the TSA episode to be very boring (it wasn't as bad as Assburgers or the shit one though).
OOOH long johnson
Catching up on the last two episodes. Stan [sp]scolding the salesman[/sp] in Cash for Gold is goddamn hilarious.
-snip-
The whole episode for pointing out how pointless meme and especially tose who take them seriously are seemed kind of..pointless.

What I really liked was how they used th voice clips of the republican candidaes.
Almost like "anything we could ever write will not be as dumb as those guys are so lets just take the reall clips"
Kind of a weak episode, but I still chuckled quite a bit. I was watching the old episodes, and I definitely miss the more personal plots. I love how current the new episodes are and they need to play off current events to continue to pump out episodes. I mean 16 seasons. Damn.

but the entire point of the episode was to point out how stupid pandering is.
"showing Republican hopefuls dancing with boobies" and all that business.
The main idea was that you could do ANYTHING, so long as it has a musical number, pointless celebrity bashing, and something making fun of Republicans, and people would eat it up.
It's like the Nascar episode; all the people who came away going, "HA, YEAH, NASCAR SURE IS FOR POOR AND STUPID PEOPLE." missed the point completely.
Jewbracbra probably is weakest one so far. I wad expecting something really good from making fun of bigfoot hunters
