I don't know. I had heard they had a contract for 5 new episodes, but they put out 7.

weird episode ending

6/8/2011 10:48:03 PM

wow, that was an awesome episode, definitely a top 5 favorite for me

6/8/2011 11:04:20 PM

Anyone just see the new episode? Weird ending. Is this the end of South Park? It really felt like a finale.

"weird episode ending"

I think it was their way of saying this is the last episode of South Park EVER! Some of the episodes weren't that good this season, thus all of the references to everything looking/sounding like shit now. The argument between Stan's parents at the end before they choose to get divorced says it all. His mom mentions how his dad always tries to get famous somehow and it is the same thing over and over, just in different ways (we're done making the same episode over and over. We've run out of material).

Think about it...Last week they wrecked that Chinese character by revealing he isn't Chinese. That kid who dressed up as Mint Berry Crunch in the Coon and Friends episode is gone. Chef is dead, Cartman knows who his dad is, Ms. Chokes on Dick is dead. Osama Bin Laden was killed off before they could make a parody of the SEALS killing him. There are tons of episodes making fun of religion already. The Royal Wedding parody sucked. There is nothing original for them to do anymore.

6/8/2011 11:20:07 PM

Would they really end it like that, though? Unanounced and on kind of a low note? I always pictured a big, epic finale.

6/8/2011 11:29:54 PM

theres always new shit for them to write on because they write on current events, they made the saddam hussein was captured episode weeks after it happened so they could have made a bin laden episode if they wanted to. while it'd make an interesting ending, I would think they would announce ahead of time if it was a last episode.

[Edited on June 8, 2011 at 11:35 PM. Reason : episode aired 4 days after his capture actually



shit further reading tells me that the current contract between south park and comedy central has ended

Yeah but I'm sure they've been through shit tons of contracts. I mean hell, it's been 15 years.

They can't really do a big finale with all of the characters though because they did that for episode 200 and episode 201 to say thank you for watching our show.

I don't think they want to become the next Andy Griffith Show and continue on even after most of the funny characters are gone, but yeah it did sort of suck how it ended.

6/8/2011 11:47:12 PM

apparently this was the midseason finale and they still have to do 7 more shows contractually

6/8/2011 11:54:04 PM

Source? I don't want to get my hopes up for no reason

6/8/2011 11:59:34 PM

oh good, crisis averted


FOR NOW

6/9/2011 12:00:02 AM

I bet the next 7 will be funny because Stan's parents sold the house and it sounded like they were going to divorce. That means Randy will be single. They've done some pretty funny episodes with him that involve sexual things, or porn.

6/9/2011 12:00:24 AM

they still have to do 7...

i'm so confused/surprised/wtf right now...

wow

6/9/2011 12:32:18 AM

If that was the last episode, that seems like a really downer way to end the series.

6/9/2011 12:34:01 AM

if that was the last south park, i'm going to rage.

6/9/2011 12:34:44 AM

i figured if they were going out, they would do one last 3 part series episode or something

6/9/2011 12:42:32 AM

Fantastic episode

and Jack and Jill is an actual upcoming movie

6/9/2011 9:59:10 AM

I thought this episode was boring as shit and I fell asleep. Guess I need to rewatch if Stan's parents split.

"This weeks episode wasn't about us. To me it was Parker and Stone telling Comedy Central / Viacom they 'want a trade'. This is their last year under contract is my understanding. Taking a swipe at the owners seems like a bad choice unless they are looking to work elsewhere."

I called this. The episode about comedy awards was a warning shot. I think they asked for the divorce last night.

usually people wait for something to actually happen/come to fruition before they go back and rallydurham a quote they made months back

gg

6/9/2011 5:18:40 PM

They're 40 and they've really done nothing of significance outside the show, unless you count BASEketball.

Can't blame them if they finally want try new things.

Fifteen years is a long time for anything.

6/9/2011 5:19:15 PM

I assumed the ending was a joke based on Sharon's "and a week later everything goes back to normal" speech.

6/9/2011 5:48:05 PM

^^Team America

6/9/2011 6:15:12 PM

As a person who grew up with south park, from high school till now, if that was the end it actually makes me a little sad. I really hope they dont end it on a downer like that.

Going out on Landslide. That's cool.

I'm gonna miss the gang.

6/9/2011 8:00:36 PM

Am I missing something? Why does anyone think that was the last episode, it's only the end of the first half of the season. SouthParkStudios says the season resumes in October. Now whether it's the last season...

6/9/2011 8:04:54 PM

I really hope Stan's parents seperate for at least a few episodes. Randy would be so funny as a bachelor. I thought the Lord of the Rings, internet crashes, and the medicinal marijuana episodes were great. This would allow them to probably do more funny things with him that involve porn, drugs, alcohol, and sex since he wouldn't have a wife telling him what to do. They could make fun of internet dating with this divorce and maybe add some new characters to the show through these relationships.

[Edited on June 9, 2011 at 10:54 PM. Reason : .]

6/9/2011 10:52:39 PM

hey b4c, how do you think episodes with Stan as a bachelor would work? Think they'd be any good?

6/9/2011 10:55:19 PM

So this means you haven't seen the episode where Stan's parents separate?

Dumbass n*gga whore shit damn!" YOLANDA: "You're right, Fat Abbot, thanks!" FAT ABBOT: "No problem, ho. Maybe later you can suck my dick, bitch ho shit!" BILL COSBY: "Well, Fat Abbot and the gang sure did learn something today. If you got a stepdad ridin' your ass,..."

6/9/2011 11:00:28 PM

I'm pretty sure the guys are just burned out... I mean putting on a broadway musical isn't exactly easy...

the good news is, they were burned out the season they did the SP movie, and they were burned out the season they did Team America... so I figure just let it ride and they'll be back in October for at least 7 more episodes. I wouldn't be shocked to see another season, though, fwiw.

6/9/2011 11:23:58 PM

^Yeah they have plenty of years left. The Simpsons has been a half hour long show since 1989.

yea people mentioned it but exhibit A: Team America; Exhibit B: Book of Mormom which got nominated for something like 16 Tony's

lol don't forget Orgazmo.

^^The Book of Mormon was seriously great too. Don't know what that person was talking about.

Yeah, I'm scratching my head at this too. The show is not over, that's pretty fucking obvious. How did it take up a whole page of discussion?




Last episode was incredibly fucking depressing. It resonated with me a lot, which is not a feeling I normally get from South Park. Pretty scary.

Dude thats how I felt. It actually made me depressed a little, which is fucking odd since its South Park.

6/10/2011 12:31:21 AM

you people are affected by TV too much

6/10/2011 12:57:20 AM

its honestly not even that, I was just surprised because its so odd for that show. I love depressing stuff, books, movies, music, it doesnt bother me at all. Happy shit pisses me off

thats exactly why I put it as one of my top five favorite episodes, not very often that south park is poignant

6/10/2011 2:15:26 AM

i said affected, not demoralized

6/10/2011 10:22:42 AM

I could be wrong and have no source because I'm lazy, but I'm pretty sure they're under contract all the way to a Season 17.

6/10/2011 10:22:57 AM

I think people need to realize too that its not just two guys working on this, they've got a whole staff of writers, animators, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if on a lot of episodes they don't do really any writing just the recording of the voices.

6/10/2011 10:32:53 AM

^^you are.

6/10/2011 11:10:43 AM

It also depressed me as well. I am glad I am not the only one who felt that way. I think part of it was because I read what people were saying about this possibly being the last episode prior to watching it, and thinking that the show might actually end that way.

I think in general the episode kind of sucked.... at least for me the music part and shit coming out of everything just got old.

6/10/2011 2:03:08 PM

i thought it was funny. stan turned into a tdubber. lolz.

6/10/2011 2:30:52 PM

As a cynical asshole myself, I could relate to it
