South Park Open Thread

Tonight's the season finale of South Park, and the episode: "Guitar Queer-o."

Obsessed with the Guitar Hero video game, Stan and Kyle make a great team and score record points when they play. Stan realizes he has the potential for enormous success if he plays with another partner. He and Kyle break up, but without his friend, Stan quickly folds under the pressure of being a rock star.

In related news, the "Imaginationland/Kyle Sucks Cartman's Balls" trilogy was a ratings smash, and Comedy Central plans to release it by itself on DVD. (They'll probably include it in an eventual season box, too.)

Awesome. Guitar Hero is so good, and South Park's parody of WoW was great, too. Could make a great combo.

Has to be better than that fucking hockey match season finale. WTF was that anyway?

[Syloson of Samos]

The "Cavity Creeps" thing was pretty funny.

[VM]

THIS JUST IN!!!

Dunderoo and Edward are the Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd of the Internets!

[Cesar]

Come ooooooooooon GAMESPHERE!

[Edward]

And Urkobold is the South Park of the internet: completely lacking in humor and wit.

[Captain Chaos (now in thrall t]

Season finale? What the fuck? They've made what, five episodes so far this year?

Writers strike?

As a struggling guitarist, i've gotta say this:

Guitar Hero is the lamest damn thing I've seen in years.

Thank you...

Seconded, pushing buttons on a guitar shaped playstation controller just makes you look like an ass.

no, the south park season is split into two parts. iirc the first half was around august/july

[Steve S.]

My god. I'm Randy Marsh. Somebody kill me.

[Captain Chaos (now in thrall t]

That makes more sense, thanks DDS.

And guitar hero is to playing guitar as playing Pole Position is to driving an F1 car.

[Seer]

That ending was incredible.

[Jake]

what was the last song on the show tonight?

It's a video game. Spend more time practicing and less time being bitter about other people having fun and maybe you won't struggle so much.

As a struggling psychotic murdering bastard let me tell you that Manhunt 2 is the lamest damn thing I've seen in years...

[bob]

Don't tell me how it ends! I won't see it until it shows up here: http://www.southparkzone.com/season-sid-11.htm

There's one more new episode scheduled next week.

I've been up since 7am EST _yesterday_, so maybe I'm just sleep-deprived-giddy, but I have to say I laughed my ASS off.. This season so far has been spectacular, and almost completely non-topical!

And I'm sorry haters, but my nephews love playing _Guitar Hero_, and I get a kick out of watching them play. Though yes in my heart of hearts I'd like to see them learn to play a real instrument...

(and there's actually folks hooking the controllers up to synths in order to actually compose original things.. Go figure..)

Steve S. wins

A lot more fun and less likely to end in my fiery death?

[Dave B.]

I, for one, would be willing to purchase Heroin Hero.

[John]

The episode wasn't great, but Heroine Hero was awesome. Was the coke/sex party taken from Brain Candy, or was that ripped off of an earlier movie?

South Park is humor for ten year olds, with the added irony that their parents won't let them watch it because it is too vulgar.

The fact that South Park rates an open thread from Reason is a defintie black mark against the magazine.
