Oh WOW, South Park has really stepped in it this time!!! (Spoiler Alert)

[Up2Late]

Anyone remember the stink The Disney Company made when cartoonist Burke Breathed (Bloom County, Outland, Opus) created Mortimer Mouse, a sort of an evil cousin to Micky Mouse? Well...

Tonight's South Park show has not only not only a very obvious Micky Mouse, but they have him being a jerk and kicking the shit out of one of The JoanAss Brothers.

This is going to be fun to see what Disney does tomorrow!

Discuss.:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

1. Disney v Viacom?

Oooh, popcorn.

[MrSlayer]

2. One of the best South Parks ever.

Fucking hilarious.

[dbonds]

3. It was a great south park.

South Park is hit or miss usually, but this is one of the classic's. And I don't think there is any doubt it was supposed to be Mickey Mouse.

[Idealism]

4. People still watch that show?

Even I, a lover of cartoons like Family Guy and Futurama, found better uses of my time after the Mr. Hanky Christmas Poo special

[Juche]

5. Yup we do

Today's episode was a really good one.

[Idealism]

6. I'll have to go tivo it!

South Park was too hit or miss for me, but it sounds like this one is worth the time. Thanks for the heads up

[Up2Late]

8. I LOVE Mr. Hanky!

And very into Futurama now that it's on late night on Comedy Central.:evilgrin:

[dysfunctional press]

26. south park just keeps on getting better and better and better...

so, yes.

[Orrex]

7. South Park is still on?

I thought it was canceled in 98.

[Up2Late]

9. Maybe where you are it was...

...but they've only gotten better since 1998 (which was a slightly disappointing season when compared to season #1)

[Orrex]

10. Not long ago I saw the one where the whole joke was that the kids were swearing

Wait--that's every episode!

:evilgrin:

(I kid the South Park fans!)

[ddeclue]

11. OMG: The Mouse Turds have hit the fan!!!

I'll have to watch the Orlando Sentinel to see what happens...As you know we are at the center of Mouseworld's universe here in Orlando and it will no doubt provoke a mouse-shit storm here in this town.

As they say around these parts: You don't mess with the Mouse...

:hide:

[Up2Late]

12. I remember, I lived in Orlando in the early 1990s...

...wasn't that about the time Outland came out?

[ddeclue]

13. I wasn't here then so I don't know... sorry! nt

[Up2Late]

15. I'm pretty sure it was about 1990...

...I have a photo of me in my Mortimer Mouse Halloween costume, standing in my 1989-1991 Orlando Apartment's kitchen. :evilgrin:

[ddeclue]

16. Yikes... did they put out a contract on you?

Take you out and threaten to feed you to the gators at Mouseworld?

:rofl:

[Up2Late]

20. Nope, I was a hit at the then "hot club" in Orlando...

...J.J. Whispers!!!

Horrible name, fun club in it's day (played lot's of M.C. Hammer):evilgrin:

[ddeclue]

21. Where was that and what is it now???

never heard of it... I'll have to ask around...clubs come and go though..

Actually the fun line here would be "Those bastards they killed Kenny"... when DisneyCorp steps on the annoying bug that is South Park.

:rofl:

[Up2Late]

24. Back "in the day" it was in a Lee Road strip mall, but it looks like they re-opened it!!!

...at 4732 S. Kirkman Road, which (if I still lived in my 1991-1992 apartment) would be just down the street my apartment! Check it out:

<http://orlando.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs/photogallery/jj-whispers/284558/content>

But original version was a LOT bigger and had a LOT more Mauve colored furniture and matching Mauve walls in the big room with the stage. And the other part of the club, where the "party people" spent most of their time "breaking it down" was almost all Black Lacquer furniture and smoke machines, with multi-level dance floors.

I was just looking at Google Maps and it looks like it was at Lee Road and Adanson Ave. (facing Adanson Ave.) in that be square building sort of behind the McDonald's.

[ddeclue]

28. I live on the East Side and never make it over there unless

on business or Democratic Party related...

Doug D.

[Up2Late]

32. Yeah, probably a hotel (non-locals) crowd down there near Universal Studios...

...Btw, I just looked at that Adanson Ave. (at Lee Road) location, and that is the old J. J. Whispers location and the front of the former club is still exactly the same as it was "back in the day" except that it's just an empty store front now. If you go to the Google Maps Street view at 5134 Adanson Street, Orlando,FL, you'll see the pink stucco front with a red curb in front and a thing that sort of looks like a stucco smoke stack sticking up, that was covered in pink and white neon type signs.

[Initech]

14. That has to be the most disturbing South Park I've ever seen. And so fucking funny too.

[susanna]

18. It WAS sweet.

And I'm not a South Park junkie by a long shot. But it was pretty damn funny tonight. I had it on because I watched Stewart/Colbert and got drawn over by the content. A keeper.

[rcrush]

17. So whos gonna take me to TGI Fridays?!

WHO?!

[Initech]

46. I'll *NEVER* look at a TGI Fridays the same way again!

:rofl:

[CRF450]

19. Bah, I missed it.

Sorry to thread jack, but is anyone gonna watch The Roast Of Larry The Cable Guy? That I gotta see!

[Up2Late]

22. It'll be replayed about a dozen more times before next weeks show...

...you'll see it, or go to Spike.com or Comedycentral.com, it should be there in a few hours.

[greenkal]

23. Why would you watch that disgusting right-wing propoganda?

Seriously? I think it says a lot about what type of person you are.

[Up2Late]

25. Ouch, that means a lot coming from you...

...a 21 post newbee.:spank:
You really don't want to be here very long, do you?

[CRF450]

29. You must not have a very good humor.

[Missy Vixen]

27. Wow. I was speechless -- when I wasn't laughing!

We were also watching "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report", and didn't change the channel.

Just the Jonas Brothers stuff -- they're going to get sued, but I have to admit, I was laughing!

[Up2Late]

30. It will be interesting to see what happens...

...and when.:popcorn:

[brettdale]

31. That was funny

Im sure disney will have its lawyers at the ready.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

33. Fuck South Park

I don't watch rightwing cartoons by Freepers

[CRF450]

34. Who cares! They make fun of everybody and most of the episodes are great.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

36. they make fun of progressives and portray them all as hysterics

the right gets pass after pass. unless it's religion.
as far as the neoconservative b.s. of the bush years and limbaugh republicans, they're all for it.

[HughBeaumont]

37. They only make fun of the religious right. Every other rightist philosophy is A-OK with them.

The whole pot thing aside, Libertarians like Trey and Matt are still corporatist water carriers and taxophobe stooges. I'm sorry, but after 28 years of being correct, I don't really feel like "laughing at myself".

[Up2Late]

38. OH BS! They make fun of everything that is extreme and ridiculous, like your broad generalizations

You've clearly have only seen the episodes you've read about and don't understand the deeper, underlying level of the show. :grr:

Name a pop-culture, over hyped topic, they've made fun of it or will in the future, and that includes the deification of and psychotic devotion of the Obama Presidential campaign and all it's idolatress.

The philosophy of the show was best summed up by Bruce Springsteen on his 1985 multi-disk album "Live 1975-1985" before the song "War" when he said,

"...blind faith in your leaders, or in anything, will get you killed..." :headbang:

Rock On South Park! Rock On President Obama! Rock on the 1st Amendment!:patriot:

[HughBeaumont]

40. Oh yeah. South Park is just TOOO Pynchonian deep for me to understand.

Give me a fucking break. GOD I hate it when people pull that stupid cliche with me. They hate liberals by their own admission and cannot come up with a reason why when asked.

Also, what is with this quote:

Michael Moore being an extremist is just as bad, you know, as Donald Rumsfeld. It’s like they’re the same person.

:wtf: I mean, that's just shit-all stupid even for them. Michael Moore's views aren't really that far off from what most of mainstream America wants when it comes to the economy, civil rights, the military and governmental accountability. So they put him on the same level with a paranoid fascist like Rumsfeld and I'm supposed think those two and their cheeseball show, which stopped being funny about five years ago, are jeenyuses?

Maybe you should follow old Bruuuuuuucie's advice yourself.

[dysfunctional press]

43. "stopped being funny about five years ago..." hardly.

it just keeps being consistently good or better than ever.

[NorthCarolina]

39. South Park is not Right-Wing. If it was it wouldn't be funny,

and I admit that generally I find it to be hilarious. The show regularly makes fun of just about everyone, but mt perception is that overall the show is more center-left than what you perceive it to be. To each his own though...that's why there's more than one channel on at a time.

[dysfunctional press]

42. it isn't done by freepers. educate yourself.

you'll be AMAZED at how much there is out there to learn...:hi:

[rcrush]

35. lol mickey mouse called christians retarded

I was laughing my ass off. And then he went on a rampage. Fucking priceless.

[Sequoia]

41. I loved it.

Those purity rings and them moving in all sorts of strange ways. Ha...Disney's true colors were showing on South Park. Now, if they could just do a show about Kellogg and Phelps...!!!

[CRF450]

44. watched it last night before i went to bed.

it was great!! maybe the south park bashers fit the persona of those who they make fun of...?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

45. Did they finally have a good episode?

Haven't watched them in awhile.

Last time I saw them I happened to catch an episode where Cartman got AIDS, and another where Ike had an affair with his kindergarten teacher.

Both were fine setups, but they utterly failed to deliver a punch line.

It was just absolute painful crap.

I figured they jumped the shark and just phoned it in.
