Next episode of South Park will parody Let's Players/vloggers - General

Wonder if Dsp will be in this one.

My main gripe with LP's are the ones where the person has no idea what they're doing, and has episodes of them stuck on one section. I enjoy it more the more the player knows about the game, making speedruns more watchable than anything. But yeah, this season is weird, because up until then my dad had to teach me about the topics in south park, like Scientology and all the different movie references. Now this season I need to explain to my dad what most of the topics are, like Cisgender, MTG, Ocolous, and Uber.

[QUOTE=Aphtonites;46618402]welp there goes any chance of them actually making fun of him, it's probably just going to be praise i seriously hope this doesn't turn into pure pandering like that cringeworthy lady gaga simpsons episode[/QUOTE] I don't think he takes what he does seriously. Its an act. I'd do it too for millions of dollars. I don't hate him for being successful. I also don't watch his garbage, but why hate him? If he's willing to take the piss I think I might actually respect him, and it'd just confirm my impression of him. We'll see what his role is in this episode. For all I know he might be a total git.

[QUOTE=64fanatic;46618465]don't hate him for being successful [/QUOTE] I never implied that anywhere

[QUOTE=.Isak.;46618131]Pewdiepie, Markiplier, Tobuscus, etc are unbearable, but Let's Plays with 2 or more people are like 500 times better than single-person LPs. Achievement Hunters are consistently great, Spike and Barley are great, Game Grumps are okay, etc. LPs are like fast-paced comedy podcasts with visuals to me.[/QUOTE] Many solo Let's Players are fantastic just have to browse SA or the Archives

At first it wasn't enough to be worth the $10 price tag but multiplayer is really a great time.

Wow, Matt and Trey really went all out with the gaming subjects this season. There's been like 3-4 episodes now.

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;46618834]It's not multiplayer though.[/QUOTE] Yes it is.

[QUOTE=Spor;46618286]People with integrity.[/QUOTE] Fuck integrity if you can make millions acting like a moron in a non-harmful internet forum. I so would. If someone gave me a dollar for every post I made that incorporated the phrase "ANAL FISTING" in caps in a legitimate way, I would be so rich so fast.

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;46619036]The game contains split screen multiplayer and has for a long, long time now.[/QUOTE] Sure, the fair few times you (if ever) find yourself doing split-screen multiplayer on PC game. I refrain from calling a co-op mode "multiplayer". I think it needs the online aspect to qualify for that. Yeah yeah, it literally means "multiple players" but we can argue semantics all day.

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;46619153]How in the fuck is splitscreen multiplayer not multiplayer? This isn't a semantics issue.[/QUOTE] I'm just saying, I don't think splitscreen deserves the "multiplayer" tag, because in my opinion it isn't multiplayer. Multiplayer needs online. You can call it "2-4 player splitscreen" or "splitscreen co-op", but I don't think it deserves to be called multiplayer unless it's online. And adding onto that, I don't think I've ever heard someone call a splitscreen mode "Splitscreen multiplayer" anyway.

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;46619199]You're fucking shitting me at this point[/QUOTE] I'm really not, I've never heard anyone use that phrase. I've only ever heard "Splitscreen co-op", "2-# player co-op", "2-# player splitscreen" or variations of that. Never "Splitscreen multiplayer". [editline]2nd December 2014[/editline] If that is a thing that people actually say then, welp, color me wrong. I've just personally never heard or read it. Doesn't change the fact that Goat MMO is still not online, though.

The only problems I have with Lpers are the ones who try to hard or are socially awkward and such, the ones who act like normal people who talk like they are having a normal conversation are perfectly fine but man the ones who act like walking internet memes and who appeal to your average internet user are the fucken worse.

[QUOTE=ProgramFiles;46617547]PDP is obviously conscious of the exaggerated proportion his channel has. But hell, if it gets you to appear on south park and invited to a million places, coupled with a great pay, who wouldn't act like an twat on camera.[/QUOTE] Pewdiepie is honestly a pretty chill dude and he's done some good work for charity before. The whole fanbase just sort of arrived out of nowhere and he was clever enough to cash in on it.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;46621417]The whole fanbase just sort of arrived out of nowhere[/QUOTE] No, he moved country several times, coincidentally to lower population areas. Youtube featured him as popular in several of these areas, and then eventually he was watched enough to be featured worldwide. Basically, youtube algorithms.

[QUOTE=Davidn64;46618460]Wonder if Dsp will be in this one.[/QUOTE] please, please yes

I can't get a good read on this episode. It's clearly bashing the idea of it by cartman impersonating every youtuber, but if they went as far as having PDP as a guest and pay the guy for work i don't see the episode as bashing the idea of it. Knowing southpark it's going to get some bullshit ending about IT'S OKAY TO REVIEW BUT DON'T TRY AND BE SOMEBODY ELSE, which as true as it is, doesnt really cover the idea that making funny faces and giving nicknames for everything is the lowest brow of humor man can think of
