TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 Little late for the South Park topic but a friend pointed out this Reddit topic to me regarding the latest episode. Essentially it would seem that South Park might be finally ending. (episode spoilers) Stan breaks away from everyone (everything is shit), things are changing, he's growing up, his parents divorce, etc I didn't think much of any of this since earlier in the show they said "everything resets in a week" so I figured it was just running with that joke. Plus I thought Matt/Trey were just making fun of everything as usual. But after reading the reddit post it's starting to bum me out. Some things make sense and I was expecting the song at the end to have fart sounds but it didn't. And then the silent credits. This is only half way through the season so there are still some episodes to come in the fall but will everything reset? Will they keep this new plot line to give South Park a makeover? Or will they actually pull the plug and wrap it up this year? I would think if the series was really ending, they would of made this episode the season finale. But that would seem better fit for them to come back for a 16th season just to fuck with us. So I'm really on the fence with this. I expect some "sp has been going downhill" comments. They have some good episodes and not-as-good ones but overall I think they're still doing great with it. They've changed things up plenty of times before so hopefully (for me) they are just doing that. Cliffhanger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trathen 15 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 maybe they might, it could end the show on a high before anyone tries to cancel it. I wouldnt think it'd affect me much, im an occasional watcher on comedy central. sort of on topic here, is this where you get ur username from by any chance> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 It's entirely possible that they might change things up and put some actual continuity in the series, make an ongoing storyline to change things up. Or not. We may potentially find out next week. Or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoic Person Eater 159 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 As I said in your status post - the show has gotten very tired. Lots of shit and fart jokes. They said "shit" last night... yawn. When they did this years ago, it was a big deal - they set a huge standard that paved the way for shows like "It's Always Sunny" and other shows that get away with saying shit after 10PM. I love South Park. I've seen EVERY episode. Some of them I hold dear to my heart. I can tell you where I was when I first saw the episode. Some episodes remind me of girlfriends or hanging with my friends. My wife and I say "Si, si fly" as a positive response to everything we say. South Park has had lots of great episodes, but last night's episode was a metaphor for how I feel about the show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted June 9, 2011 Even if the show does end, I think we'll get one more movie after that. Final nail in the coffin/happy ending/etc. I think they got it in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiO 4730 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 I was thinking that when I was watching. I agree that the latest season hasn't been the funniest and neither was the last...but Im pretty sure the one before that was and they still have good eps in them. Royal Pudding is for sure one of my top fav eps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handsome B Wonderful 331 Report post Posted June 11, 2011 They should quit while they are partially ahead. The last 2-3 seasons haven't been great, especially compared to seasons 6-11. Season 8 was god-like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted June 12, 2011 Trey Parker and Matt Stone are honestly two of my biggest idols when it comes to video editing/the work that goes into it. If the show ends then I'd be a little upset. I've been watching since 2001 and it hasn't gotten stale at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massacre 7646 Report post Posted June 16, 2011 Tonight's episode is a rerun of HumancentiPad. Looks like they're doing a midseason hiatus like other shows have being doing recently. Either that or they quit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted June 16, 2011 Nah it's the usual mid-season break. 7 episodes in spring, 7 in the fall. Thus the mid-season finale cliffhanger zomgwtfgonnahappen episode last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted June 16, 2011 They just said on The Daily Show that they weren't planning on stopping. I'm going to take that wildly out of context and claim they said they would continue the show until they died. I'm also going to spread rumors that they changed their minds immediately following the interview. People were devastated over at 4chan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted June 16, 2011 Just finished watching it (wasn't by a TV earlier). The audience was pretty happy to hear they aren't cancelling. A psy of relief for me. I like how people were asking them if they were okay after the episode aired. interview on Daily Show website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either that or they quit. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are all for the party time. An important factor is creating South Park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
