oh yeah the new season has been real funny so far.. i liked the legalization one.
 
I think this show is hit or miss.

The best episodes happen when they find that sweet spot where they're relevant but not shoving the message down my throat.
 
This last episode was pretty good. The end pissed me off, I want to see the rest of it.
 
I liked the facebook one. Cause its true that people get all upset about that stupid shit.
I know I have when my ex bf went months without changing his status to in a relationship again after we got back together. But he did cheat on me after so I don't feel so bad about getting mad.

I use mine more for work so I just add everyone, potential client.
 
In my opinion, South Park used to be the best show on tv. It used to be extremely well thought out, witty, and made a statement. Now it is just dumb, and looks like it was "written" in 5 minutes.
 
dude. they brought back mecha-streisand. awesome.
i'd totally forgotten that they'd ripped on half of those celebrities.
 
Steve Iriwn! I love that sting ray dying son of a bitch. Crikey! Perpetuating cultural stereotypes is fun.
 
Mitch Connor used to be my user on overgrow...memories.

I liked the loner kid with no facebook friends. I was hoping to see him swinging by his dressing gown cord at the end but they went for the happy ending.
 
Lol.

Watching the current episode right now (201) :).

SO FUCKED UP. lol.

Oh man.

Comments on the episode:
NSFW:
Buddha doing coke and Jesus watching porn...lol. And the black man at the door thing with cartman... holy crap. This episode is ridiculous. Barbara steisand's toxic stink ray.

Wow... just wow.

Just ended... awesome :)

I thought the excessive censoring may have been done for comic effect until I saw this article

In the 200th episode of South Park, which was broadcast last week, a proposal to bring the Prophet Mohamed to town is met with short shrift at a community meeting. "Are you nuts?" one character says. "If Mohamed appears in South Park we get bombed!" "We don't know that," another replies. "Maybe enough time has passed that now it's OK to show Mohamed."

As it turned out, that hope was a forlorn one. The American broadcaster Comedy Central this week censored the programme after the episode's depiction of the Prophet Mohamed dressed as a giant teddy bear drew a warning on an Islamist website that the show's creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, would be murdered.

The warning was posted on the New York-based website Revolution Muslim. In an article that suggested that Parker and Stone would "probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show", a writer calling himself Abu Talhah al-Amrikee listed the addresses of Comedy Central's New York office as well as Stone and Parker's production office. He also posted a link to a piece giving details of the house that the two rent.

So Comedy Central broadcast the next programme, which concludes the plot of the anniversary edition, with several crucial speeches bleeped out. In Wednesday's episode, Mohamed's appearances were covered with a giant "censored" label, while he was replaced in the bear suit by Santa Claus.

Some branches of Islam consider the depiction of Mohamed to be blasphemous.

The 200th episode, a celebration of the show's rich history of causing offence, begins with a piqued Tom Cruise rallying a large group of his fellow celebrities – including Mel Gibson, George Lucas, George Michael, and Barbra Streisand as a berserk giant robot – to bring a class-action lawsuit against the eponymous town.

The only thing that will stop their suit, Cruise tells the townsfolk, is if they arrange for him to meet the Prophet Mohamed. "Mohamed has a power that makes him impervious to being made fun of," he explains to his fellow celebrities. "What if we could harness that power?"

After detailed negotiations with Jesus, a cocaine-snorting Buddha, and the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith, the South Park residents manage to persuade Mohamed to come to town – dressed in a giant bear costume to prevent his appearance bringing the same violent retribution that greeted cartoons of his likeness in a Danish newspaper in 2005.

The show has featured the Prophet Mohamed before, as part of Jesus' troop of religious superheroes called the "super best friends". Mohamed appeared as "the Muslim Prophet with the powers of flame".

But that, Matt Stone said in a recent interview, "was before the Danish cartoon controversy, so it somehow is fine. Then, after that, now there's a new normal. We lost. Something that was OK is now not OK."

Stone was speaking to the website Boing Boing, along with Trey Parker, during the production of the 200th episode. "If they would let us show it, that would be great," Parker said. "We'd be so hypocritical against our own message, our own thoughts, if we said, 'OK, well let's not make fun of them because [then] they won't hurt us'."

The Revolution Muslim website frequently praises jihadi violence. Al-Amrikee has recently posted messages praising the suicide bombers who struck in Moscow and celebrating the Polish aircraft crash that killed 96 people, including the country's president.

He later told the Associated Press that the message was not intended as a threat but as a warning. Asked if Parker and Stone should feel threatened by it, he said: "They should feel threatened by what they did."

I didn't really like the last episode. I get it but it is less interesting of a topic than the last 2.
 
I thought it was a pretty smart take on the split of the fans differing preference between daft storylines and satire, the ending shot of the latest one had me laughing out loud for real
