Really awesome episode. Not sure how Randy or Butters or whoever you guys want would fit in the focus of the episode...they've been more about writing for the issue/story than the characters for years at this point. Cartman's the go-to racist guy.

Great episode. So far this season's turning out great. Didn't care for the first too much, but the cable company segments from last week knocked it out of the park especially lol. I have high hopes for the rest of this season.
 
Outside of the last 5-8 minutes this episode was a disaster. I love witty social commentary as much as the next guy but this felt a little too late.

yeah, all the negative societal implications of the trayvon martin case are solved at this point and everything is better.

Such a meh episode... I'm so tired of these Cartman episodes where he's on some random mission based on a motive that he's shoe-horned into. It's like when the writers want to make a point about society in recent years they use Cartman 90% of the time. He just feels so empty and overused at this point... I'm honestly tired of his now mono-tone voice. I feel like he used to have so much more range. The message of the episode was also kind of weak, as was the execution. Please for the love of god go back to original storylines. The last SP episode I was in love with was Super Fun Time and that was about 4 seasons ago now. I still love watching new South Park but most episodes are just so hit or miss..

I feel similarly. Cartman gets way too overused, it would be nice to get episodes that involve the whole gang again.

I don't mind spoofs of movies or stories. I just want more involvement from the whole gang.

It's not the first time an episode has been LTTP on an issue but with their original 5-6 month break there's not much you can expect from them, right? They just can't ignore an event they would like to discuss about because it's a few months after it has happened. It will probably happen more often considering the new yearly break we are gonna have between seasons now.

Great episode however, one of the best ones since Royal Pudding.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Loved this episode and I've never seen World War Z. The Zimmerman thing was all hilarious!

So far, this season is really good. South Park remains so consistent.

never left the stone age
It's a beautiful day and i can't stop myself from smiling~

Cartman is my favourite kind of asshole.

I don't know...

It must suck not having known what the fuck the episode was about. I'd seen WWZ and knew about the Zimmerman case so it was pretty funny, but it's so specific. But I guess SP has been like this for some time.

Does anyone else buy this through amazon? I have the season pass and still dont have this weeks episode. Other shows typically add new episodes the next day after airing, this is the first time I've bought a comedy central show so I'm not sure if its just some delay that is normal with them or what.

not bad, lol'd at that ending.

Meh, another Cartman centered episode then?
meh? Cartman episodes best episodes.
Randy and Cartman > the rest, except for those special episodes.

but seriously, Kenny? I don't remember the last time I saw him.
 
Cartman episodes always deliver the goods and this one was no different.

That ending is one of the best I've ever seen the show do and wasn't expecting it.

The whole episode from top to bottom was just nuts.
 
Breitbart.com Last week: SOUTH PARK IS THE GREATEST SHOW, LAMPOONING THE LIBRUL MEDIA AND TAKING ALEC BALDWIN TO TASK FOR BEING A HYPOCRIT.

Breitbart.com This week: BUNCH OF FUCKING FASCIST NAZI COMMIE MUSLIM ISLAMIST LIBERAL DEMAGOGUES HOW DARE THEY MAKE FUN OF STAND YOUR GROUND AND GEORGE ZIMMERMAN


Though yeah, I'd really wish they'd go back to the absurd shit instead of trying to be high comedy or topical. Give me Awesome O any day over this crap.

No one buys this on Amazon? It's been several days and it seems to be on iTunes but still not on Amazon.

I didn't get the World War Z jokes because I never saw the movie. What were the obvious parallels?

The entire dream scenes where he's with his family in the kitchen and then locked in traffic when the "zombies" hit, the plane sequences (for the most part, there was only 1 plane crash in the movie) and the whole patient zero thing was all part of the movie.

Also at the end where he's coming in by boat to meet his family and they all talk about how terrible the ending of the movie was was pretty accurate too. I won't spoil it but it's not like the book at all and it may be the single dumbest ending ever conceived by man.
 
I didn't like this one as much as last week's one. Mostly because I don't know the plot or anything about WWZ or who Zimmerman is.

Why would you want to buy it? You can watch all episodes for free on official website, uncensored.

I was not aware of that. The past few seasons I had Hulu and watched it on there. Now to see if there is a plex plug in to watch it on my Roku & cancel this season pass. Thanks.
