The New South Park...

Huge fan of the series as a whole, but last night's episode was just awful. They've gotta give the whole religion bashing thing a rest. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for religious bashing if it's done in a humorous manner, but Trey and Matt suck at it IMO. The mormon episode was lame, the scientology episode was mildly amusing at best, and from the looks of last night the muslim one won't be much better. They should make more "Towelies" or throw another shuriken in Butter's eye.
And ripping on Family Guy? Yeah there may not be much of a plot and the jokes may be interchangable at times, but they're FUNNY...which is more than I can say for South Park as of late. You don't need a strong story to make good comedy (Napolean Dynamite and Big Lebowski come to mind).
Stop ripping on religions, stop tempting fate by coaxing Comedy Central and return to your roots...barbed satire and inane, hilarious shit.

Yeah, they're going too political lately, and that comes from a huge series fan. Best episode yet? Scott Tenorman must die, that says something

I've only seen the Mormon one and I thought it was pretty funny!
"Dum-dum-dum-dum-dumb"
South Park goes from strength to strength IMO
Tastes differ I suppose!

are you talking about the mohammad (sp) episode?
i think its cause the episode of family guy taht got it originally pulled from fox a few years ago was the episode that made fun of jewish people (which reaaally was not a big deal imo)
and now they are just parodying it by making people try to take it off the air because of an episode offending muslims
thats just what i thought

didn't anybody catch the scientology references in the muslim episode? About freespeech and what not. Them scientologists are making a big deal about the scientology episode. The muslim episode isn't even about the muslim crap really.
That's my take anyway. I think they're hilarious.

Agreed, that episode last night was crap. I understood the link to the whole scientology tom cruise comedy central censorship scandal. However 9 out of 10 south park veiwers didn't. The diss on Family guy. Tottaly weak. They had no legs to stand on. Family guy is kicking south parks ass as of late.

It also had a paralelism between SP and FG with the whole "cartman saying his humor is not at all like FG's humor" thing. Looks like Trey and Matt are tired of being compared to FG I can't blame them taking into account that they half invented that style of humor for mass-tv.

Family Guy is minorly funny. Its exactly how South Park portrayed it as throwing random interchangable jokes into a loosely fitted plots. I mean I guess its a little funny but not worth watching.

Exactly. I love Family Guy and South Park to death, but I think Matt and Trey are somewhat jealous of the success Family Guy is enjoying.
In my own opinion, Family Guy > South Park.

The last episode was lame. Yeah, this new thing they are doing was funny for a while, it's time to move on.

Scew that, the Mormon and Scientology ones are two of the greatest SP episodes created.
As was stated earlier, though, the Scott Tenorman one was the best ever.

I didn't get to see last nights episode, but I'm saddened that they ripped on Family Guy. Family Guy and South Park are hella funny in their own rights. They shouldn't make fun of eachother. They should make fun of the shows that truly do suck. Like the Andy milanakus show. I haven't laughed at that show once. And I venture to guess I wouldn't laugh at it even if I was stoned off my ass.

South Park rips on everything. That's why it's so awesome.
What would you rather they do, hug?
