This doesn't explain why he had a badly dubbed kung fu movie voice and dialogue

 

[LAM09]

I could have sworn I’ve had already seen the footage for the beginning of the episode as a fractured but whole trailer before

The bit where they originally discuss the franchise plan has been shown already.

So he was a hologram or something? lol

I think it was ans the bit at the end definitely was from some E3 video.

 

[Lys Skygge]

Fuck! That episode was hilarious! 😂

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

That was a really bad episode. A rare miss from South Park.

 

[kaname-san]

That was a really bad episode. A rare miss from South Park.

It was a little weak but I think it's only because they wanted to force a "coon and friends" ep this week to coincide with the game so I'm not too worried.

 

[Trojita]

I think the joke was supposed to be that he is so removed from thinking like a normal human that he acts like a 10 year old that thinks they have super powers. He can't have a normal conversation anymore and deflects any of the real concerns the parents have by talking about his style being unblockable. I think it was also to mock that he doesn't have a very powerful or commanding voice, so Zuckerberg literally has his voice "dubbed".

The dub thing kind of didn't work because at first it just sounded like a sound malfunction. It sounded like Trey mumbling into a broken mic.

 

[Not]

That was really, really funny

Best episode of the season

 

[Kyzer]

they nailed the 80s kung fu movie dub voice

 

[ThisGuy]

I liked it over all. Didn't really get zuckerberge though.

 

[Tuck]

Lol that was a very weird (but very funny) approach to portraying Zuckerberg.

Solid episode, good lead in to the game.

 

[Lys Skygge]

I have a feeling Zuckerberg is gonna be a boss in the game lol

 

[Intheflorsh]

I have a feeling Zuckerberg is gonna be a boss in the game lol

God I hope so.

 

[Not]

I have a feeling Zuckerberg is gonna be a boss in the game lol

Ohhhhh that would make a lot of sense.

 

[Previous]

Pretty good lead in for the game.

Anybody else still noticing that the audio mixing this season is beyond terrible? I could barely understand the dialog in certain parts of this episode.

 

[Yohane]

I don't get the Zuckerberg jokes but whateves...

 

[Razorback]

I didn't really understand what they were going for with the Zuckerberg voice, but I can't say it wasn't hilarious.

"You can't block my stoyle!"

What does that even... who came up with that? lol

 

[RPGCrazied]

I hope Zuckerberg is an optional boss in the game.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Mark Zuckerberg sounding like Old Kung Fu movie dubs is crazy funny (goess you have to be old enough to get it)

 

[Dominican Power]

Zuckerberg get shat on so hard. lol

Loved it. You can't block my Stoyle line was amazing.

 

[DarkKyo]

Destined to be the most quotable thing from this season.

[ken_matthews]

I haven't really watched any South Park in a few years, and the couple episodes that I did catch were hit and miss, but Put it Down and Franchise Prequel were two really good episodes. The Put it Down song was probably one of the best endings to a South Park episode (right next to the free Willzyx ending).

 

[Zetaero757]

Was this episode made in the game engine? It didn't have that crispness that the show normally has in its animation.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Destined to be the most quotable thing from this season.

When I see my cousin that line will be used a ton with us.

 

[Ahasverus]

It wasn't funny but it was good, if that makes sense.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Yeah, I dunno. That fell a little flat for me.

Loved the Jimmy intro, though.

 

[Choppasmith]

Just watched, thought the exact same thing.

Here's the E3 2016 trailer where the 'franchise plan' discussion at the end is 'lifted'/remade from: link

 

[-shadow-]

Don't get why people think it's a good episode, thought it was just 'meh'... Zuckerberg did absolutely nothing for me and the kids getting setting him up along with Putin were the only two parts that made me laugh. Not terrible, but not really anything decent either.

That's how I feel about this whole season so far. Not bad but also not to great either.

 

[SKINNER!]

That's how I feel about this whole season so far. Not bad but also not to great either.

Same. There's something off about the writing. It's not bad but it's not fantastic either. Which is a shame given how the show was hitting it out the park prior to last season.

They were trying really hard to make that whole "stoyle!" joke work if you ask me. I loved the old-style kung fu villain joke but it looked like they were limited with what jokes to use. The "stoyle" thing got so tiring after the second time it was mentioned.


The Putin part felt shoehorned. Watching the first part of the episode I assumed they were going to do a subtle storyline that hinted on the whole fake news thing but I felt it never fully flourished. Having the Putin scene at the end gave it a whole "did you get it??? The episode is about Russia using Facebook to mess up the US!! Get it??" vibe that didn't resonate well with me given how it was literally spelled out. Quite uncooked.

Comic book stuff was awesome. No criticism about that.

 

[Einchy]

The shitty mic and out of synch dub was genius.

Any youtube preview clip? Ones from that site don't work for the UK >_<

 

[Admiral Woofington]

i just want more focus on the kids, less on the adults. Last episode was great. Need more on that.

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

Didn't love the most recent episode. The Mark Zuckerberg stuff fell flat for me. The next one looks more promising.

 

[kyoya]

I knew Josh Gad was helping out with writing on the show, but I did not expect him to voice a character in this week's opioid epidemic episode.

 

[PillarEN]

Didn't really resonate. Even when they cover something in pop culture without me knowing it, I get it, but I didn't get the Mark Zuckerberg thing. What he was doing or the voice. Whereas abuse on Facebook or the part with Putin I could infer even if I was unaware of such things.

So a thumbs down for me. None of the Zuck stuff hit, unfortunately.

EDIT: Surprised they got the Weinstein joke in. Maybe that scandal was around for longer than I thought. In my head it would have been around the time the show broadcasted, but it must have been earlier in the week.

"...I thought Civil War wasn't supposed to happen until Phase 3?"

"Shut up, Super Craig."

This part made me laugh and I don't even know why.

Is this a thing happening recently?

Doesn't sound like something Stan would do.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Pretty sure the Zuckerberg “joke” is referencing this video:

https://youtu.be/ZGLPxEv_EWo

Pretty sure Zuck dubbed over his voice for the video to his mouth flaps (especially at 14 seconds), hence Matt and Trey making him sound like a Zentai dub. That said it still fell pretty flat. Don’t know why they based anything off a 9 month old video as if it were current.

 

[Endo Punk]

they nailed the 80s kung fu movie dub voice

Haha! You say that I am a penis and yet I am not a penis &#128514;

 

[CassSept]

That was the stupidest episode of South Park since Scause for Applause.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Okay, the retirement center set up like a prison is pretty hilarious.

 

[t hicks]

I can’t believe they used Stitches
Holy shit
