I stick by what I said, the only really good episode this season IMO.

 

[Clydefrog]

holy shit that was a great episode :lol

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

God the second half of this season sucks. Only the Jersey Shore episode has delivered so far.

 

[GaimeGuy]

And now we wait until next year for more south park

Sigh, every episode someone says that about the current episode.

I thought the second half of the season was awesome besides the Jersey Shore and Nascar ones.

 

[CF_Fighter]

I now have a strong desire to make creme fraiche

 

[Ferga]

what a good episode :lol

 

[Clydefrog]

i'd take some red wine...about a quarter cup
and then a wooden spoon
and i'd de-glaze the fuck out of that pan

your time on the food newtork hotline has expired. to add more time say, "creme fraiche!"

 

[teh_pwn]

Good fall semi-season.

But I guess individual quality of episodes is very relative. I thought tonight's episode was watchable, but nothing special.

 

[HiResDes]

Well all of them have felt kind of lazy and choreographed lately, with little to no plot imagination...The Inception, Jersey Shore, and Nascar episodes were really just phoned in...

 

[squicken]

How could they say such rude things about Giada?

 

[teh_pwn]

Yeah, I have to agree. I don't think we had a single traditional episode with a plot internal to south park. You know, like the old ones where the plot centered around south park characters, scenes took place in the school/classroom, around town. I like satire, but some organic plots mixed in would be good too.

 

[BigJonsson]

Loved it

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Cartman as Gordon Ramsey :lol :lol

 

[perfectchaos007]

only 4 more months till season 15!

 

[Buckethead]

Awesome :lol

Really? Gaf liked this more than the other episodes? I thought it was very two-dimensional, the ending was easily predictable, and, to be frank, there weren't that many funny parts. I chuckled audibly when the channel that Randy isn't to watch was revealed, I smirked when the shake-weight discharged (the first time, when it was still a novel idea) and when randy was having phone-cooking, but other than that i thought it was too linear and not really going out on an especially strong note. A competent one, certainly, but I liked all three parts of this season's coon saga better than this.

 

[Feep]

I've loved this half-season, but count me in as one who really thought this episode was disappointing. It went back to a lot of the Season 12/13 type episodes.

There were two jokes, and they were pounded into oblivion. Not funny.

I totally agree with everything this man said. Disappointing ending to an awesome season.

 

[Q8D3vil]

last episode sucked.

 

[Corky]

sigh another episode that revolves around a single joke.

we get it, we get it! The shakeweight is funny... talk about beating a dead horse with it.

 

[SolidusDave]

I can't really agree with the message of this episode. Pure handjobs are meh because you can do that yourself. They need to redesign the workout device.

I think I laughed most about the superficial confidence phrases of the device and asking which girls she hates at work etc. This would actually make many girls happy

 

[devildog820]

Taking the pulse.

Old fashioned.
:lol :lol

 

[AnkitT]

I didnt like it much to be honest. The joke started out funny, but didnt really culminate into awesome.

 

[123rl]

Great episode. It reminded me of the episode about The List. It's classic, old-school, South Park to wind down and end a great series

"Almost there...you are finished. Here is your cab fare":lol

 

[bathala]

it was good. there r some laugh in there

 

[BertramCooper]

Man, they're really pushing The Book of Mormon hard.

If it's any good, I'll definitely go see it.

 

[ThLunarian]

I love that mechanical voice so much.

 

[Nemo]

Hey there children - was the best part

:lol The things people say sometimes.

meh compared to sex/blowjobs and so on. Or which one would you prefer?

 

[teh_pwn]

This means season in American English, correct? What do you all (non-US) say for end of a multi-year running show?

 

[Why For?]

that episode was gold :lol :lol :lol

Nothing like an old fashioned.

 

[Bboy AJ]

That was a repetitive fucking episode. Two jokes and that's it. Garbage end to an otherwise great season.

 

[Trojita]

Season = 1 part of a show, generally each year makes up a season.

Series = The whole show in its entirety.

 

[CrocMother]

Season = 1 part of a show, generally each year makes up a season.

Only in America, apparently. I've seen UKers say "series" referring to "season" before.

 

[teh_pwn]

Yeah, BBC America does this. It's confusing to me. I'm asking what Ukers say for end of everything over multiple years. In America, we use the term series.

 

[Lirlond]

We use show. As in, that show has many series'.

 

[bigtroyjon]

We use show. As in, that show has many series'.

No, we use show also, the poster is wondering what you use for the whole thing.

we say,

"That show was an amazing series, I enjoyed every season"

what would you fill in for series there? I hope you do better than having show twice in the same sentence

 

[Walshicus]

We'd just say: "that show was amazing, I enjoyed every series."

 

[benjipwns]

they should have gone for the juggular and had Randy say "Hello there, children" :lol

I'm late but he did say that. Got both of 'em.

Randy: Hello there, children!
Stan: Ohhh, what?!?
Randy: How's it goin'?

 

[JayDubya]

We'd just say: "that show was amazing, I enjoyed every series."

Alright. Just to put this to bed, since I'm curious now.

So, we use the terms "series premiers, season finales, season premiers, and series finales."

I think we've established that the word "season" is not used, and in its place, the word "series" is used.

So like, the last episode of a show comes along, and we would call that a series finale, but you guys would call it...? A show finale? Like that would be on the commercial for the episode?

 

[benjipwns]

It's worth noting that our concept of a "season" stems from when shows debuted with the fall season and that was it. Now shows start and stop at random times with no respect for the actual seasons. If anything the networks seem to work themselves more around sports and Idol/Dancing With the Stars than the calender these days. Not that I'm complaining I hated that giant gap in new shows back in the olden times before the tubes were filled with internets, then cable started filling it and now the networks actually are, so it's all good.

Shows in the UK have been like the latter as long as I've known. Having fewer episodes per "season/series" makes that understandable.

No, its usually just called the finale, or series finale.

For example, in the simulcast of Lost, Sky1 advertised it as the live series finale.

 

[Host Samurai]

I liked the episode on Wednesday night but it was a missed opportunity. I would have loved for a Cartman Man vs Food sub plot where he goes against Adam Richmond.

 

[LM4sure]

Thought the episode was okay. The shake weight joke was too obvious. It's been done a dozen times before. If they were going to go that route, they should have done something a bit more unique.

And in comparison to other Randy episodes, this was definitely one of the worst. Needed more Cartman as Chef Ramsey.

 

[Pelydr]

That was pretty shitty. Jokes on people being obsessed with food channels is really, really old. Then, the completely obvious shake weight jokes...meh. Lazy as hell.

 

[Arment]

Series = Show

But advertising almost always uses series. Series finale is the final episode. Season finale is the last episode of a season.

I've never seen the word series used to describe anything but the whole show encompassed.
