PSP appears on tonight's Southpark

Plus, for the parody to work the PSP has to be running out of supply in REAL life.
:lol :lol :lol

I was at the mall a few days ago, and every store (except EB, they were sold out) had quite a few of them left..
 
If it is the PSP, it's possible that they would mention it by name. Coincidentally, last night an episode where they were trying to buy a Dreamcast came on.
 
You don't think it'll have four screens or something? Or Chinpokomon TOUCH? Both of those sound funnier (and timelier, considering this episode would have been scripted more around the time of the DS launch).
 
My Tivo had the PSP ad (extended version) and some sort of pointless PSP porno fly-around pushed to it when I got home last night - something they do a lot with trailers. I watched it and there was nothing new, although the PSP they used was kind of scuffed.

They also pointed out all the exciting features, like "IR port" and "Buttons"

Mrs. Stinkles got aggravated that I was watching it and deleted it.

OT, my Tivo went mental this week and is recording every repeat of the Daily Show. WTF.

This sounds like the worst brand of pancake syrup ever made.
*shudder* that is kinda scary.
this may be the first south park i've actually watched this season just to see what they actually do. chinpokomon was awesome, hope this is close.
and whats your title thing say kobun, google translate came up with "コブン 41 ドリンキー puppy club"
 
It's not South Park, but this is the first time I've seen the psp in an anime (School Rumble ep18, aired about 2 months ago).

Matt and Trey have been known to make last minute changes to their episodes. Anyone remember the bearded Saddam episode?

episodes are routinely written and produced days before they go on the air.

コブン = Kobun
ドリンキ = Drinky
The rest I have no idea.

Did you delete this too? I'd like to see what the extended version looks like.
It's quite amazing they are able to pull it off. Especially considering it usually takes over a year for most animated shows to complete an episode.
 
I saw this on their site the other day and there was an ad for the PSP on the other side of the screen. I assumed they were related.
 
And the PSP marketing begins! This sounds strangely subliminal. A South Park episode about the latest handheld selling out in stores... articles saying the same thing. How long does Sony's arm reach and who are the puppets? More on Local News Investigation at 11:00.
 
Talking about TV shows, I was watching Royal Canadian Air Farce on Friday and in their pres Bush parody, they had pres Bush playing a PSP.

They actually script and change episodes right up to and including the week of the show, so who knows.

It will probably mimic the PSP, but it won't be called the PSP.

Yeah, remember the episode with the "Okama Gamesphere?" They'll come up with something funny, I'm sure, but I doubt they would directly call it the PSP. I bet Sony wouldn't mind if they did, though.

BZZT You Lose. They do South Park episodes the week before they air. That's how they keep them so culturally relevent.

I like how the Simpson's are years behind the times with some of their jokes.
