I loved it tonight. It was funny how they kept having the words come up with the same sounds behind it. Is that from the intervention show on A&E or something?

and Towlie with the dude in the closet :lol :lol :lol

Hah, GAF is hilarious...

this episode was great! Sad that it's the last one before the break, but it's been one hell of a resurgence of South Park from last year! Glad to see the show back on track.

This was terrible. It was a throw away episode. They probably had it sitting on a hard drive mostly complete for the better part of a year. I'm guessing with all that's gone on the last couple weeks they were like "Fuck it" threw this episode at CC and went on break.

Yes, I realize this, but if you watch my cut of it, I worked the censor bar in for Muhammed as well at an appropriate time..

I thought the original joke was much better. Having the censor bar suddenly appear when they put him in the machine doesn't really make sense, but to each his own I guess.

Nathan: I told you to switch the map with the one from the blue team

Mimsy: No, you told me to "SWITCH THE MAP, SWITCH THE MAP" so I switched it, and I switched it

Nathan: MIMSYYYYYYYYY!

Great episode. Love Towelie and the Looney Tunes send up was perfect. One of my favorite South Park episodes ever.

"Not the shark again" :lol :lol :lol

So many haters. Unless the episode is dealing with saving the world it sucks ass and is the worst episode ever.

Worst episode ever? You've got to be kidding me. As others have said, its not even the worst Towelie (or Towelyey, as it were) episode. The increasing redundancy of the text cards ("there appears to have been a fundamental misunderstanding", "his frustration has caused a momentary lapse in judgement", etc) had me laughing.

What is the name of the Looney Tunes character that was parodied in this episode that wheezes after he talks? I am totally drawing a blank here.

Ya know, the Towelie plot is a stuff that was cut from A Million Little Fibres. Or the worst South Park episode ever. CUT FROM IT.

I have very mixed feelings about this episode. On one hand, it is horrible. It's atrocious. One of the worst ever.
But damn me if I didn't like some parts of it:lol Looney Tunes references were particularly great:D

The camp narrative borrows a lot from Race for Your Life Charlie Brown, and obviously most of the characters are thinly veiled references to other cartoon characters.

I know Matt and Trey don't want much read into their stuff, but I got the feeling it was like "okay CC, here is a nice and safe cartoon you can air." It would be something if they aired a bad episode on purpose. It definitely had the nostalgia angle of 200 and 201.

Yeah, the episode sucked, worst of the season so far. I guess Matt and Trey just wanted to get into the break after what happened last week. Well deserved, the season is awesome all around.

Think so? I think it was like 20 times better than the Tiger Woods one.
I'd rank the season so far like this...
1-200
2-You Have 0 Friends
3-Medicinal Fried Chicken
4-Crippled Summer
5-201
6-The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs
7-Sexual Healing

Also, I liked Crippled Summer more than Fishsticks in terms of Jimmy episodes.

My ranking:

1-Medicinal Fried Chicken
2-200
3-The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs
4-You Have 0 Friends
5-Sexual Healing
6-201 (Would have gotten better rating without censorship)
7-Crippled Summer

Also, I liked Crippled Summer more than Fishsticks in terms of Jimmy episodes.

Wow, really? Fishsticks was more of a Cartman episode, but for me it is lightyears better :)

Actually, this is the correct ranking:

1. 200/201
2. You Have 0 Friends
3. The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs
4. Crippled Summer
5. Medicinal Fried Chicken

...

87. Sexual Healing

The text screens just killed the pacing of the material for me, especially when it repeated things that should have been obvious to anyone watching the episode.

That it shifted focus onto the campers instead of the target of the intervention (and that it's apparently based on a show I've never seen) kept pulling me out of the setup.

My point is the joke appears to be satirizing a TV show that I have no frame of reference for.

Without some knowledge of "Intervention," the scenes would be funnier if allowed to play out uncut. I get that the text screens are tied into the 'show' format, and I assume that some of the things they say in those screens must be painfully obvious to the viewer. The problem is that I don't know it.

I'm not saying that the bit isn't funny, just that it wasn't funny to me, and is akin to an inside joke. As such, it weighed down the parts that I did find to be funny (I'm amazed no one has attempted to coin 'humped the shark' yet).

What I was thinking.

Worst part was that they fucked Towelie's character up COMPLETELY. I actually got excited when I saw him in the beginning. I guess Cartman really was right

And the references, whooptiedoo, they all got old the second time.

No it wasn't funny at all, even if you know what it was about

MFC still makes up for all the other BS this season, but it can't hold on much longer.

Medical Fried Chicken, 200, 201, were all good. all in all this is the best season since season 9, and it's only half way done!

I had no idea this Intervention show exists, and I found the constant scene-disrupting cuts to the text with the same piece of music funny.

Wasn't bad, kind of a "cute" episode. Well, as cute as SP can get while making fun of the physically and mentally handicapped. Wasn't hilarious, but I've seen plenty of worse South Park episodes.
