Okay? I like South Park Festival where stay gay way Jagot is staying you
guess, kick Ash. Welcome to Going Down the south Park, the podcast
where we always have our south of time. This week we're hit to review
the fourth episode of season three of South Park. It is Jacopa Saws,
I'm Dando, and I am guy. Very happy to be part of the
only podcast that has a dragon on the blade. That's right, folks,
it has a drag and on the blade. And do you know what he's
referring to when he says the blade. We all have blades in the kitchen,
right, well, that is correct. Do you have themed utensils in
your kitchen. We do well. We're big for like themed tea towels and
gloves and that kind of thing. Like Holly was just I took it to
coals at the moment they got like Disney license at the moment obviously, and
they've got like a little Mermaid, oven mits and lion king, and she
was just like she would not leave that store unless she was holding an other
mit. But not just one other mit. She had to have one on
each hand. So I had to buy two sets of other mites. I
don't have. I'm quite that good or quite that organized. I have recently
gone through a thing where I'm looking at my five hands and my various kitchen
utensil and going some of these are a bit ancient and a bit weather beaten,
and I'm gonna like, but it gets the jab done. And I
don't know whether it's a mental thing, but with like those kind of pots
and things, it's like if I buy a new one, will it taste
the same? You know, I've baked a hundred carb nars. In this
one, I feel like the taste is like absorbed into the into the pot
itself. Like get a new one, it'll taste new and it won't taste
it won't taste like carbonaro anymore. I know, we all get a bit
bloody Anthony ball Daine or something like and go, well, you know half
the flavor is, you know, because you burnt the shit out. It
was something like that. I'm like, yeah, I don't know about that,
man. I think I mean, I think I think that way a
little bit, but I think obviously it's just all mental. But I'm just
Nicola bought this new um like a baking dish once and she's always cook like,
you know, these pasta bakes in this old back and dish, and
she threw it out and I was like, oh, if you say so,
Nicola actually put the new one. I was like, good, yes,
it was. It tasted the same, But in my head, I'm
like, didn't seems well that thing. I was overseeing the Lovely Louise last
night and she's bought two new Schmick fry pans, and do you want my
old rye pants? I'm like do? I I look at my ones,
and you know, all the tef one sort of half of because I've you
know, left eggs in there for too long or whatever. So I'm like,
warp and she doesn't stove flat and ye yeah, but loose really good
at things, like I mean, she she's always sort of buying new you
know, ladles and shit like that, and I'm like, they're really nice.
It sounds like our ladies are very similar. They're very practical. It's
like this is old, you need a new one. I'm like, but
I like that one. It's old, random, you don't need it.
They won't it. You left that one in the frypan and now it's got
that melted bit on it. You know, you know, just get a
new one. It's six bucks. And you know, invariably because you know,
we've been big up in our chains stores lately. Yeah, She'll go
to Cama and I'm like, these look really nice. They look like you
got it from Sweden. Got it from Cama. So like, I think
I might go and get mat came out. It's the new Sweden very much,
it's the new I can how do we get to be talking about this
business themed utensils? Holly needing her? I do know how we got to
what was the utensils? What brought up what brought up something in the kitchen.
I don't know. Somehow got to them utensils. No, we're pretty
good at this. We can take a few stage. What was your it
was What triggered it for me was what you said. This podcast is the
Blaze Knives kitchen. Yes, we got there. We made we flound our
way back, we laid our trailer breadgrums and made our way home. Um,
I will I'll tell you. We'll tell you one thing about the kitchen
though. And I don't know if you're if you're like this at all,
or if anyone out there is like this. It may just be a nut.
Do you have like a favorite spoon or a favorite you'd be crazy,
not too right, especially when it comes to wooden spoons when you're cook into
things like that, yeah, or even just a teaspoon. Yeah, yeah,
I get it. And and and they're all the same, but you
can tell which one is your favorite. You're a little mark, a little
chip out of it. You're like, that's the one, that's that's the
one. Yeah, so many weeks with that one. I'm like, Okay,
when the zombie apocalypseapps and you have to, you know, grab your
go bag, and you know, I'm like, well, I'm taking this
spoon and I'm taking this who needs your favorite toothbrush? Just take your spoons.
Spoons far more necessary when it's some zombie apocalypse than the toothbrush gives sho
It smells like any more surrounded by zombies gonna smell, You're gonna smell.
Yeah. Yeah, But I've got a favorite teaspoon. I've got a favorite.
I've got a bunch of coffee mugs, but I've got one that's like,
that's the good one. It's just the right size. It's like Chandler
being it's it's a little smaller than the other one. So it's like,
well, I like to hold things like this and pretend I'm a giant.
That Chandler who said that, I think Chandler has the small hands. We
haven't got see this is the thing. Well, obviously, I do a
Friends podcast now with my wife Nikola, the one of our friends. Check
it out links in description of this podcast. But I haven't seen every episode
of Friends. Nicola watches it religiously, so Nicholas wanted to ask that question
too. I've seen enough of Friends, but I haven't seen every one of
them. I'm pretty sure Chandler has the small hands, though I'm also sure
he has a line where he does something like I like to hold little things
like this and pretend I'm a giant. Yeah, it sounds like a chandeler
line. It doesn't. Yeah, but anyway, Yes, dragging on the
blade, which is a part of this South Park episode. We've talked about
every other show and every other thing other than South Park, but we're here
to talk about South Park, and in particular, Jakova sauce. I'm disappointed
you haven't asked how I am. Do you ask how I am? Please?
How you doing? I'm fine? Just fine or fine? It's implied,
and I want to know how you are. Tell me we've entered that
stage of the relationship. Yeah, you know what. You don't bring the
flowers any moon? Uh? Yeah, I just I thanks? Who gives
a shit? It's implied you should know this. But we're here to talk
about your couple sides. As you were saying, I don't have many memories
of watching this episode back when it was on, right, I feel like
this is an episode that would have been very devisive with fans back in the
day, especially if you didn't know what it was going for, If you
didn't know the reference in this, you'd be like what is happening here?
But if you understand that this came out just four weeks after Phantom Menace was
released, right and clearly from the very first line was like missa, missa,
I'm like, I was a Judge our Binks. Right, Yeah,
it's clearly technic because Judge our Binks and how it's said, and Train may
have said that they felt so betrayed as Star Wars fans when they watched Phantom
Menace that this Jarjar Bing's character was introduced, that they just had to take
the piss out of it and making even like just go over the top with
it. I thought this was honestly south Park at the topical best coming out
at a time when Phantom Menace, you know, we usually did the brain
buster blockbuster, We went through the top three films at the time. Phantom
Menace was still number one at the US box office when this episode aired,
so it was still on the tip of everyone's tongue. Star Wars fans were
outraged. I was only eleven when it came out, and even I remember
being in a movie going this is not good. I remember like going to
the toilet halfway through, going I'm bored, like what life come back?
Yeah, I just I remember I came back in the pod racing a start
and I was like, pot, the pods were the only thing that I
remembered the pod race from that movie. But I remember like walking out going.
I didn't like that, and I was so disappointed, even as an
eleven year old. So I can only imagine has someone who was like in
their mid twenties or whatever, like Tray and Matt would be furious. You're
raised on Star Wars. But I just think that they took the piss out
of it. So as a Star Wars fan, I thought this was hilarious.
I loved it. I just thought it was so spot on, absolutely,
and you're right. I mean, look, I was in my boom.
I was in my late twenties or even your thirty years old. When
you're thirty year yah, yeah you were twenty minute yeah yeah yeah. When
this came out, and you know, of course it was a huge,
huge viewer or about I mean, yeah, well everyone was interested. It's
like, oh my god, New Star War. We finally get New Star
Wars after you know, almost three decades or no, no, after two
decades. Yeah. I remember going with the woman who would a year or
so later become my wife. She knew I was a Star Wars fan,
and then I was like, Yeah, Star Wars come along, it's going
to be great. We're watching it. It's like I was trying to keep
my hopes up all the way through. But at the same time, there's
a lot of things I was thinking, is like, like you was going,
so, it's not quite right here. What was the point in the
movie where you just realized? Oh? Because like when I watched The Last
Jedi, for me, it was near the start where Luke just throws the
saber over his shoulder and I was like, Oh, what just happened?
What are we? What are we doing here? Where are we going?
And then he's drinking the blue milk out of that titty and I was like,
oh, where are we going here? What's happening? I'm not sure
For for you Phantom Menace, though, what was as a Star Wars fan?
You're so excited, you're pumped. When did you when did when did
you realize? Oh, something's not right? What was the first moment?
And b when did you go, oh, it's not gonna get any better.
I feel bad saying this because Star Wars was apparently did a number on
this kid. But Jake Laud who played young Jake Lloyd, who played young
Anakin Skywalker, it's not his fault, but he was just not going to
the deep end. And it's you watched like the documentary and he can't even
get the lines right, and it's just like, and there was another kid
who wasn't an established actor who would have been pretty good, Like you watched
that that was side by side and geoge just like, I think we should
go with somebody that nobody knows. And I was like, but he can't
act like he's not he's not good, and it's not another is your child.
I don't want to shoot on a child, but yeah, you had
a child who was really good at acting, who probably could have taken all
of the publicity in all of the press that was going to come his way.
Jake Lloyd just you know, Paul, little kids got thrown it deep
and it's maybe he suffered as a result. Do you remember who it was
who who the child actor was? It wasn't Haley Joel, wasn't no,
no, no, but his blond kid, big blue eyes. I'll look
it up while you're talking Telly, So what was the it was? It
was what was I think? I mean, Jake Lloyd had been a child
actor prior to Phantom Menace. I think he'd been in other movies and jingle.
He wasn't yeah, oh of course, Yeah, he wasn't a complete
unknown and yeah, not a complete novice either, but yeah, I mean
he's just given a big ask and yeah, just unfortunately not up to it.
And uh oh yeah, this kid's a bit of a stiff. But
no one was any I mean, people knew Natalie Portman could act, but
in this he's kind of like, oh, you've been directed to do something
that is not right for you, or is not right for anybody in all
honesty. Then of course when Jarjack in that's kind of like, oh man,
this is like the kids in South Bugs yead. You know, they're
just annoying. Yeah, that's the thing, And that's what I thought.
They had it so well, and this was just like we don't hate him,
but he's just really annoying, Like we want to like the guy,
but we can't. We just we're trying, we can't. Well you're trying
real hard to sort of think. Okay, you're trying every method you can
to cut judge our being some slack. Okay's comic relief. Oh maybe he's
starting off a buffoon and he'll become a hero and we'll get a nice sort
of you know, redemption story or underdog becomes a hero story. Whatever.
None of it just annoying all the way through. Um, And they'd been
like a real lead up prior to Then't mean Jarge I was on the cover
of Rolling Stone. It's like, Wow, he's going to be the next
fan favorite, and you know kids are going to be talking and Judge our
talking the playground like yeah they do if they want to get the shit beat
now. Yeah yeah, So, um, that's pretty clever just how they
handled that. They made Jarge the jugo cap and a dangerous species as well.
It's like, you know, we shouldn't have we shouldn't be trying to
save every single in dangerous piece. That's not the way they had them.
They incorporated that into it, like that's classic South Park as well, just
you know, some things just don't need to be saved. It's funny.
I mean, there's this and space as well, which I think it was
roughly at the same time refless, but I think Space was like ninety nine
or two thousand or whatever. Yeah, and that's got bits in it where
Simon peg It was a co writer and like a really big Star Wars nerd.
He specifically wrote in scenes where he was just railing against new Star War.
Wasn't talking about how great the old one wasn't how the prequels sucked.
Yeah, you had a new voice of pop culture and pop culture nerd that
was basically saying these new ones are terrible. So yeah, it was an
interesting time to be a Star Wars fan. So the kid, by the
way, his name was Devin Michael. Devin Michael never heard of yea,
yeah, I looked up his IMDb. He's never It wasn't anything notable,
But check out his audition. He nails it. He nails it, and
then Jake Jake Bloyd messes up the lines for the exact scene. They was
sort of like auditioning. Funny, think, why why didn't you have this
Devin Michael kid. Anyway, Well it's funny because I mean, you know,
a couple of years later, Lucas goes with Hayden Christensen, who,
again not a bad actor. I've seen him in other roles and he's actually
okay in them, but and I think he's doing the best he can in
this, but he's got sort of an unworkable character. And Lucas, for
you know, all his all his virtues, I don't think as much of
an actor as director. I don't think he and with the whole green screen
and CG environments that he's building for the prequels, it doesn't give actors a
lot of work with. I mean, apparently you and Greg was kind of
semi drunk for a lot of the for a lot of the allegedly alleged as
hard think of Hayden, right, how do you? How do you act
out this line in a way that's convincing and believable? And I hate Sand?
What that whole fucking dialoguebout hating Sand? It's like, yeah, I
like as much as we love George Lucas and what he did with the original
Star Wars, he was trying to write a drama and the original Star Wars
films weren't a drama he needed. He should have stuck with what he knew
or brought in somebody else who knew what they were doing and someone who was
willing to say no, George, that's no good. Because you watch the
documentaries and everyone standing around like behind he going this isn't good, this is
good. It's like, well, why are you saying something? Yeah,
he needed um. I think it's Gary Kurtz, who was like a producer
on the original trilogy, the only original on a New Hope on episode four,
who was someone who kind of had the balls to sound up. And
of course this is before George Lucas was really George Lucas. He had American
graffiti to his name. It's a big hit. But yeah, I think
it wasn't creative of Star Wars George Lucas. No, no correct. And
you know Lucas also had his um you know, sort of cotery of contemporaries,
actual filmmakers who were saying, what is this? This is a shiit?
I've said on the on shows in the past. Now, you know
Brian de Palma who made Mission Impossible and the Untouchables basically, what's this forced
business? You know, what's this shit? And yeah, luckily people came
in and re edited and all this kind of business and Star Wars became Star
Wars this time around. He's you know, got a little more clout and
everyone's like, well, he made Star Wars, he must know what he's
doing. It's like, hey, it takes a village to create a grand
a masterpiece. But it scenes in the documentary though, where Spielberg is being
shown the new technology, and I mean it gets shown one of the those
droids in the in the Phantom Menace that have like the long noses and they
talked about there into like them the droid version of Stormtroopers. Yeah, and
he gets shown one of them, and Spielberg's like, oh, there's going
to be fantastic, And man, I'm just like, are you just buttering
him up? Like do you actually think this Spielberg? You know what I
mean? I was just it was a weird thing. Like I wonder if
anyone really thought that what they'll make him was going to be good? Like
I wonder how many people were actually surprised when the backlash came for Phantom Menace
because it just and now people try to say, like, twenty years on
whatever it is, Oh no, it wasn't as bad as we thought.
And you get back and watch it, and he go, I's a huge
Star Wars fan, go back with the best of intentions wanting to like that
movie and it's just not good. Yeah, none of them are really.
There are bits and pieces that you can cherry pick that kind of works.
Yeah, you can make it one movie. And apparently it was a top
of Grace you said made it one movie. Ye, type of grace edited
the Prequels in the one long movie one. I want to see them because
I feel like there is a movie within the trilogy. But man, the
filler was just yeah, or at the very least, And I think I've
said this on the show in the past, the Prequels should have been like
a TV series, and a TV series in the vein of and because it's
dark material and it's you know, it's the Death of the Death of the
Republic, and you know, the corruption of Anakin Skywalker becoming becoming Death Vader,
all that stuff that's not exactly kid for any material, and something like
you know, the Mandalorian or Rebels or whatever should have been a movie.
And this should have been like a yeah, a grown up TV series.
I think there were too many scenes in the prequels that felt like a showcase
for technology as opposed to an actual storytelling. Yeah, there's that too.
There's absolutely that too. I mean I went to um Fox Studios in Sydney
in the early two thousands when they were filming i think it was Attack of
the Clones and I've got to have a look around on sets and all that
kind of business. And I didn't get to sort of really meet anyone high
up in the in the process or anything like that, but yeah, I've
got to have a look around. I mean I was really pulling for it.
I was like, oh, you know you've got a blue screen.
Yeah, look at the sun screen screen. But I said, oh,
okay, yeah, they got rid of the kid now and they're going to
start moving into you know, grown up star Wars. Actually yeah, but
Attack of the Clones are going been. Attack of the Cloones was worse Attack
of the Clones. A lot of people tell me people who grew up in
that year, So I used to work with people who were kids when um
So they were born just after, so like they grew up with those films
were there. So I don't know why I was eleven, but I had
those original Star Wars, you know what I mean, Like they were the
ones that I grew up with. I saw those first where kids who saw
those films first. They hang on to them, and a lot of them
say that they like Attack of the Clones the best, and I was like,
I just can't understand why, Like, but General Grieves is so cool,
and I'm like, I guess so, but so what you know,
there's no, I don't know, there's just they seem to think Attack of
the Clones is the best, and I just I can't get through Attack of
the Clones. I just can't do it. All I remember four. All
I remember it four is that's the one where Yoda did his lightsaber battle.
Which what was your thoughts when you first saw that when him and Duku had
that lightsabber jewel. Oh I remember sort of going, oh, wow,
you finally get to see this. Yeah, that's something. And then the
more I think about it's like, that's ridiculous. No, it's just not
good. Not good. Not to shill another podcast or YouTube channel or anything
like that, but the guys at Red Letter Media, they are a channel
on YouTube that I really did. They do film reviews and all that kind
of stuff, usually with a pretty humorous bent, but they kind of made
their name with a real dissection of the prequels, and they go into it
so well, and they point out the it's not just sort of poking fun.
It's like, oh it isn't jarj useless or whatever. They really poke
as like this is really lazy direction, really lazy filmmaking, and they point
out exactly why, and I'm like, actually, yeah, this makes a
lot of sense. Yeah, but you know, we had to get off
a little round bit of phantom mess because that's this whole episode's about this whole
episode as a big fuck you to George Lucas and the Phantom Menace. So
we had to throw a little a little two cents in there as well.
Yeah, well, I mean apparently Parker and Stone did a jar Jar based
sketch. Yeah. MTV Movie Awards that year, which I think must have
been kind of vitriolic because MDV said, no, we're not cheeling the it's
probably because m MTV. You know what it is. It's it's it's all
a big circle jack, you know, especially in the late nineties, So
like, well, we can't piss off George Lucas because you want to get
like interviews for the films, and we don't want to piss off the guy
that made fucking star Wars. I can understand why, but I feel like
by nine times nine, MTV didn't have the credibility. It was just like,
it's just who can we wink off to get get some street credit?
Because I can understand why they were saying, no, but you think,
I don't know, who would you rather have in your back I guess you
always gonna say George Lucas Archer, But even in nine nine on, who
would you rather have any back pocket? The guys that George Lucas, I
guess, and all the guys from South Park, I guess you want the
South Park. Yeah, I think if that's that's why I felt. I
thought it was like mtvsp should be the cool hip one. If they're turning
down the cool hip things, you know, they've lost their way. That's
not cooling hip anymore. But the middle of MTV, it'd been around for
like what twenty years at that time. Yeah, so it's probably you know,
it's at that stage where it becomes the establishment m Yeah. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know, man, But anyway, Jacoba Saws,
Yes, I thought I loved this. I thought this was a great
episode, even when though being super annoying. I got why they're being super
annoying, and that made it even funnier for me. I just thought it
was awesome. But apparently they were producing this just weeks before the release of
the movie a bigger longer than cut, and its production was running concurrently.
That's what they've said, Like the previous episodes would be reviewing this season as
well, you wouldn't know the quality is still there, But tray and may
have said it like apparently it was just like incredibly incredibly hard on them.
It was like hell. But this episode aired on June sixteen, ninety nine,
the same day that Trey Parker was still putting the finishing touches to the
film's sound. O my god. So yeah, they were just working around
the clop. But it just goes to show how good South Park was and
still is. You know, I feel like they've turned a corner. They're
getting a lot better than what they were. There were sort of like a
period there was this kind of like do you guys really care anymore? I
know you joke about wanting to get canceled, but do you want to get
canceled? But the last season was awesome, but here in season three,
It's like, you know, they've they've produced this, there was no other
show like it. You know, Phantom Menace comes out, and this animated
show is able to do a complete and utter take down piss tape demolition yea
four weeks later. I think it's just credit to how amazing Star south Buck
really is. Indeed, indeed, and in a departure from the norm,
this episode directed by one Matt Stone and the last episode he ever directed,
apparently, I wonder what was that? Was that much hate for this episode?
I wonder, I just don't know, like, well, that's I
if it. I imagine people got the joke, but they they executed the
joke so well, or they were so sort of authentic and replicating the jarge
Art experience. A lot of people just maybe wouldn't want to rewatch this one
because, I mean, the Jagobasils aren't really fucking annoying. Yeah, the
only I mean, because the thing that is, they don't make it.
It's so subtle. The only real reference to jarge Art is the Missa,
missa Missa. There's nothing else that says, hey guys, this is a
Star Wars parody. It's like, either get it and you think it's great,
or you have no idea what's going on. Yeah, I mean not
just in terms of the execution of the of the coops oars and how they
behave and all that kind of stuff, but technically, I mean their voices
are just loud enough to be annoying, not so loud that you're like,
I'm turned away. It's more like use your inside voice. Use you know,
when if a child's being too loud voice. I know, I don't
want to yet the kind of know you're just excited, but a little bit
quiet. And that's what these characters are, or these these creatures are.
I mean, they're just hyped up, hypercaffeinated, too much red cordial children,
which is what d Yeah. Yeah, and that that works great for
what they're trying to do, what they're trying to say. But at the
same time, it's also this has not learn itself to repeat view. It's
fine even though the jokes are funny. It's funny with the Judge our character
is just like, you know, he receives so much hate. I never
hated Jarge our Binks because it's because the character itself, it seems like a
person. It just wants to be helpful, just wants to be your friend.
It doesn't want to harm you in any way, but motherfucker shut up.
Yeah again, I felt bad for um. I met Best who's the
actor who voiced him and also provided motion capture stuff. I mean that essentially
sort of killed his career as well. Luckily, you know Star Wars Central
through my Bone, he appeared on a Mandalorian episode and not long ago and
got to sort of be cool. He was, you know, rescuing Grogu
and you know, running a scooter and shooting things like, damn, this
guy's doing all right. Hopefully they can give him some more work in the
future. What he thought when he first read the sign they read the script,
it was like missa, missa, missa, missa. Right, Okay,
you see George, Yeah, there's behind the scens what did we see?
George Luka is trying to show him how to walk and sort of like
it's it's a little insensitive. It's like he's sort of do a bit of
a can of a strut. Oh man, and George not great. But
yeah, Also this episode here, there was a scene where when they send
him to get pretzels, right, they tell him to go get it from
the town and fair Play. So fair Play is actually a town located in
Park County, was established an eight fifty nine A fair Play is the town
the one town that provided the inspiration for the show of South Park. You
go, not just not just providing great pretzels, but providing inspiration as well.
And the guy that helped write this episode David A Goodman. He is
also written. He originally survived for Golden Girls and things like that, but
he actually wrote an episode of Futurama, one of my favorites called Where No
Fan Has Gone Before, which is a big Star Wars I sorry, Star
Trek parody. So yeah, David A Goodman knows he shit. So what
were your favorite moments from Jacavasaurs? What did I like? Something I always
like about Parker and Stone is the way they just they really have no time
for syrupy sentimentality and they'll take the piss out of it in the opportunity,
so, you know, having someone in the in the crowd say if she's
a less of a kind, we should name her Hope. You know,
they've undoubtedly sat through so many god awful movies and TV shows that have got
that real sort of saccer and strength to them. And you know they echoed,
echoed all through this episode. But it's it's really great when they have
Cartman doing at the end, He's like, no, he's my friend.
And you can just how many fucking goddamn Lassie or Benji movies did Trey and
Nat have to sit through his children? And no, less, he's my
friend, And you know they just cap it off old please check her stay.
I love it so much, um and you know they even skew it
even more when you're here someone in the crowd at some stairs you go,
yeah for us, that's I've loved. I've got my favorite es, yay
for us, thank you. But otherwise I just love the interior guys.
I mean fine, just this was the episode. Everything's just later I get
my book out so I can take some notes on the species. It's fine,
everything's fine. It's just that love that I have authority. But the
great wind oh Man, nothing coming with authority. That was That was That
was my favorite bits down. What did you enjoy? Well, we've coming
most of mine. The one extra one here I've got the is Ned's Irish
accent. I thought was amazing. Oh blame me, Oh, blame me.
Okay, now let's try to get an answer from someone who's not a
complete retard. All right, mister Davis, hit me with your first trivia
question for chick for us. Oh. I've got a few here actually,
but the first one is the kids say it's great being a doorsman who who
are able to stay out and don't have to be home until what time?
Thirty pm? Correct? My first question is the sword of the blade with
the dragon on it? Is what kind of sword and who used it?
It is a Sumertomy sword used by the Togawaga soldiers, I believe. Correct.
Don't you love it when you're just when when you've got the answer in
front of you, I'm just like, I think it? Oh? Sure
this gay. While we're on the subject of the sword, the Sumertomy sword
usually goes on how much? But how much are they willing to sell it
for? On the home shopping network? For some reason in my mind I
have eleven ninety nine my mind, is it anywhere in the art that seems
too cheap? Obviously you have the ninety nine part, right, it's always
ninety nine, But what was it is indeed valued at eight hundred dollars going
for thirty nine ninety nine, thirty nine ninety nine. I love that those
old we don't get him anymore. The channel of the shopping channel, where
it's like regular retail price, or it was recommended retail price a thousand dollars,
we're sounding even twelve Holy shit, I'm John Lovett and you can buy
this, but twelve ninety he could sell me anything made, He can sell
me anything. Why would you know why this blade it has a dragon on
it? Look look at the pretty jack bad right now you're saying it.
I wanted think of the girls you could get with this blade. It has
a dragon. I believe those hope shopping ads have actually made their way to
sky News, um home of right wing propaganda here in Australia, because my
mum has actually bought a few items. Oh off sky News, how ween
yeah, and so the actual weather report. They now go to the shopping
channel and here's and here's Steve with his blades with dragons on them. Mum
has not brought the assumertimey sword. Margaret Mary has not gone quite that far
yet, but she turns out birthday this year. You get as soon Atimey
sawed with a dragon on it like I knew you always won it. One
recommended by Andrew Bold. Are you asking a question? Roma? Yeah?
My next one, I've ben't got two here again, I know I've I've
been later they've been doing two questions forget the third old wing one though,
all right, My next one here is who was watching the game with a
Chacova saw? Oh, it was a random smashing people. It was okay,
you had Mackie m uh you know, Randy Marsh and Gerald, Yes,
yes, Garrison there. Garrison's there near the end all Jimbo. Nah,
it was Kenny's dad, Stewart and Chef. So I guess it's like
three from school and three parents. So it's not that written. So it
just seemed I've seen them all because you never really see Chef and Garrison hanging
out and things like that. So no, No, there's something a matter
a sporting event there or a pay per view where just people just come to
get back in those days anyway, in the nineties, where you know,
one guy would be like, oh, I've booked the boxing fight. Everyone's
like, fuck, let's be his friend this week. I wanna drop sixty
bucks in this. So I'll bring the deritos, you pay the eighty dollars,
I'll bring the lollies. You know, a fair and equitable trade.
Um Jackov the jacovasaw is trapped outside Jimbo's in what trap? Ostrich trap?
Ostriche trap correct? I'll try and win. One more question here? Okay,
why did Chubby Checker lead the Beatles in this year? What does Garrison
asked there? He did lead in nineteen seventy two? Mm hmmmmmm uh.
Would you like one last question? It hit me one more? Okay,
what is the name of the cafe in France? When that everyone sort of
can congregate it around, no idea, It is the cafe Grandwi. Oh.
I believe Granwi translates as frog. That would make sense, That would
make sense. I That's another element we didn't touch on actually too, was
that this wasn't just a one hundred percent or it was in this It wasn't.
It wasn't so. South Park are really good at showing things from both
perspectives, both sides, so they made sure to have people still enjoy the
jucover saws and something. They're funny. So Cartman's when it finds it funny,
and the French find it funny as well, so their way of saying,
only an idiot would like the jucover Saws would like Judge our Binks.
So but I still like the fact that they showed in the highlight of there
were people out there that did like that, did Judge and there are people
there are people like I was saying, the people used to work with back
at the old pop culture who are like ten years younger than me. They're
like, I like Judge Binks. I thought it was funny when I was
a kid, and I was like, really, really, your kid didn't
know any better. Yeah, that's it. But yeah, that's something I
love about the French. I mean, because you know, generally their regard
was like, oh my god, so elegant, oh so stist together,
and you realize, yeah, occasionally see like movies or TVs from from from
France and it's like, oh, everyone's dressed so well and they're speaking French.
Go they must be class. Then you okay, you dig a little
deep and you realize, oh, some of the biggest movies and franches just
like dumb ass comedies, and you know, and they like things like Jerry
Lewis and all that kind of stuff. It's like, Oh, you're just
a bunch of slobs like the rest of them. Watching. Yeah, lou
and I were watching this doco on Netflix about the Tour de France, really
good doco from that. They it's the same people who made them on a
Formula one and you know it was with racing. Let's do it with this
spot and this spot spot at this spot. They really out of doing it
with every sport. But they're really quite good. I mean I had not
a lot of interest in the Tour de France, but you know, they
put a good human spin on it. But they're showing all these basically French
bogans who are lying out by the road going Yeah, maybe it's kind that's
the only French word I could think of. Um, it was like,
oh, you're just a bunch of beer bellied, sun burned dickheads like the
rest of us. Yeah. There's done a really good job up to this
point though, of keeping the image up though, haven't it, Oh very
much so. It's the accent. Going down to South Park is brought to

right, the original date of jacover Source was June sixteenth, nineteen ninety nine.
Now, mister Davis, as I said earlier, the number one box
office film at this time in the US was still The Phantom Menace. Do
you want to guess a number two and number three? Way them up as
we speak. We're not going Number two and number three were, oh,
June of ninety nine. Off the top of your head, I'm trying to
remember what the other big movies were in ninety nine. Oh man, no,
the summer stuff. What was it? Let's have a looking flicking through
here, right, So there was Star Wars. Number two was Austin Powers,
Austin Powers, The Shot Spy Who Shagged Me? Okay, yeah,
and a Hugh Grant film. What do you think it was that would be
notting Hill? I imagine nothing Hill was number three. Yes, film notes
generally go, you know, nineteen ninety nine, such a fantastic movie.
I mean, it's such a fantastic year for movies, and it really was.
I mean it was an awesome year for movies. But people tend to
go, yeah, the Matrix and fight Club, and they reel off all
these titles that wear ether. You know, Beauty nine, what's that American
Beauty? That was American? Yeah? I think that won the Oscar of
the following year. So for so it was the best movie of nineteen ninety
nine. But then you realize, oh, well, you know, the
big box office hits were probably things like Powers, the Spy, The Shagny,
and the Lamentous Found thom Um. But yeah, but not in Hill
though, great wrong con It's a pretty good one. Yeah. I think
for ages people were kind of split between Urie with the Four Winnings and four
Winnings and a funeral person or a notting Hill person. And now I think
they will migrate it over now we're all love actually people. Yeah, it
wasn't the hair too. Wasn't there a third like Hugh Grant film in the
nineties that was kind of like on the notting Hill Van. What was the
other one? He did Four Weeks and a Funeral notting Hill, And I
thought there was another one it was like notting Hill. Maybe it's not maybe
maybe that. Maybe it's those two that I'm thinking of. I thought there
was like two films that were very similar. That's those two, yeah,
I mean because Thereby written by Richard Curtings was a lot earlier though, right,
That was like ninety four, I think, and that sort of made
him a big star, and he did a bunch of Hollywood movies in between.
He didn't called nine Months with Julian Moore. That might be. That's
not what I'm thinking of, though, what us did you looked at nineties
films of Hugh Grunt. We've got Noting Heel, forties in the Funeral,
Mickey blue Eyes, sense and sensibility. Uh yeah, the nothing that stands
to stand out anyway anyway, that's made mistake. He was m he was
on top of the world and the Nighties wasn't he, mister Hugh Grunt,
he's back, baby. He talked about him on another show not longer,
just saying, how you know he's in Dungeons and Dragons and he's really good
and he's doing a bit of work with Guy Richie. He's fantastic in those
movies, fantastic in Paddington too. Do you reckon he's going to become up
the new Bill Murray where he just starts popping up in films just unannounced,
and it's just like, hey, it's you. Hey, you know man,
Well you're popping up and stuff and it's like I didn't expect to see
you here, Hugh Grunt. But yeah, doing a really good job just
rocking up with people's parties unannounced. And now I get the feeling he's probably
he's like a grumpy Englishman's like I've done my work now, I just want
to go home and have a have a whiskey. As you mentioned earlier,
episode was written by Trey Parker, Matt Stone, David A Goodman and directed,
but Matt Stone the last episode that he directed. But the episode kicks
off at Stark's pond and that sort of become their new sort of away from
the bus stop hangout, hasn't it sta Yeah, And they're camping there and
I don't think I ever camped out as a kid. I think the closest
thing we did, and they're not really camping out. There's sort of any
out of eight thirty that it's the idea of camping out because the sun's going
down, it's dark. The closest thing we did to that was we used
to live in North Bell Park here and we have Cowey's Creek which runs behind
the cry Let's Tump Center there sort of around there, and there's actually eels
in there, so we used to go down and catch eels at night.
Um until one day my sister got bitten by an eel and that was the
end of that. That was the end of that chapter. But like le
used to go down there, and you still we went down and we took
Alliott down there about I don't know, three months ago, and we used
to build up this cubby house like this, like it was like a hut,
but it was I don't know, it wasn't really a house. It
was just sort of like a two trees like formed and like morphed into one.
It was it was a really cool hangout. And we get there and
I'm like it had become obvious that a new generation of kids had taken over
and like it was theirs now. I was like, this is cool.
This was our place and new when we left it alone, we left it
there, a new generation discovered it and now it's their place. I'm like,
the memories that are being made in this little hanging out it is.
Yeah, it feels very stand by me ish. Yeah. But Cartman here,
he's got his harmonica, because of course he does. I've always wanted
to be able to play the harmonica. It just feels like a really cool,
a cool talent to ha at a party. I've got one here that
I bought when I was maybe sixteen or seventeen. Yeah, I still got
it, and I'll tell you what, I don't have the ability to play
it. You guys, listen to this song I just wrote card I hate
you guys. I hate you guys, you guys, I add her,
especially Kenny. I hate hand to marry. Okay, nowt's try when I
together. I hate you guys. Come on, you guys know the words.
It's basically Cartman, though he wants the ship's to go home and ship
just shit in the woods, ship in the woods. I can understand this,
the idea of shitting in the woods. Even to this day. I'm
just like, if I have to, I will, but I would much
prefer to not shit in a bush. Oh yeah, I mean the last
time Lou and Owen camping maybe a year and a half ago with friends of
us who like to camp. Yeah, and they've got all the supplies,
and you know it's not quite glamping, but you know, they come prepared.
You went home together. You look at each other, You're like,
we're going right, yep. By the end of the on the morning we
will leave. We were the most efficient fucking packers you've ever seen get out,
And honestly, part of it was like, oh man, it's you
know, the weather's hot, um, and I've got to walk ages through
you know, the bush to find a place to take a shit. There's
going to he flies on that ship instantly and buzzing around my asshole. It's
already sweaty, which makes the shit even more sloppy. Yeah, and you're
probably not eating all that well, so it's like, this ain't coming easy.
This is gonna take some work. Then you got to think of plage
of my bombs and soft of ice cream. I've never related to Cartman more
than I have in this moment. So one of the things I was really
looking forward to, Yeah, by the end of this camping trip, was
like, I can't wait to sit on a toilet like a fucking civilized human
being. And I don't mean shit, I'm just gonna be sitting on that
toilet. I'll have my three course meal sitting on this toilet. I mean,
I just he likes to There's an episode coming up where they get they
get KFC. Cartman needs all the skin off. While everybod no one's looking.
He's like, all right, yeah, I'm going to him to sit
on the toilet and read coming books. I'm like, what a life,
what a law? He's got life worked out, kid. Though, when
you had caves, there was that one kid that would just eat the skin.
You're like, what the fuck are you doing? It's the best bit
comics, like, that's awesome. Nicolas had a cousin. I thought,
I've definitely told this story before on another podcast, but no, God love
her. She'd go over to stay with us, right, and she was
a checava saw in her own right, But like, you know, I'd
come in from work and she'd have the back door open on a winter's date,
heat of blair and sitting there with a two little bottle of coke,
block a chocolate, some soap. So I'm like, why is the heater
on with the back door open? She's like, what Jett wanted to go
out? I'm like, and she's, well, can't fuck getting up and
letting him mouse. It's left the door open. I'm then why the fucking
heater on? Because it was getting cold? I'm like, the fucking what?
But anyway, this chick here, right, Nicola. She makes a
great pasta back and she taught me how to make it pasta bat chicken past
the bait, right, But what you do is you put a lay of
cheese on top. Oh, yes, this lady, this young lady,
Stephanie, took herself into the kitchen and then she was a guest and said,
you know, you can get the first bowl. So we're getting stuff
when you're getting the themed utensils and whatnot. And then she gets out of
bowl. She gets back and it's just full of cheese, and I went,
what are you doing? She goes, I don't like pasta, just
like the cheese. She skipped the whole layer of cheese off the top and
left the pasta with the cheese on top. I say that. I was
lived. Oh my god. I was like, She's like, oh dude,
I'll put it back then. I'm like, yes, please do cheese.
It's for everybody. She had a bowl full of just the layer of
cheese in the top and she just like ripped off like a she had of
paper and just chucked it in the bowl. It was just walking off into
the landroom, She's like, I just I don't like pasta. I just
like the cheese. I'm like, you didn't think to tell us that when
we said we're making a pasta bake. It's when I it's like when I
hear about our American friends, I look, I'm maybe I'm probably generalizing because
really the only time I heard it was on high alone. When McAuley is
the best representation of the US lifestyles. It is really it's what I turned
too for. It's like, oh, so that's what America is like.
Look what you did, your little Joe. That's what you say to Louisa's
kids all the time right in man man, no one. But ye know
McCauley coggan orders like a cheese pizza. I'm like, so what you've just
got like a pizza base with cheese on it. That's it. That's but
that's Margarita pizza. People like, that's that's You've got also got to have
tomato and shooming. All pizzas come with tomato. Basses are stuck defaults.
I would hope so, because otherwise you're just ordering a Turkish bread with cheese
on it, which is like, which is delicious, delicious, A bit
a bit of garlic in there and some dips and stuff like that. Yeah,
you're right, yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean I tend to
view a pizza is like, well, it's a delivery service for you know,
the items that you put on top of the pizza. Now, I
really want pizza, thanks mate. I had one the other night. I
had had one a very long time, and I'm like, you know what,
I think it might be pizza. Got in touch with Enzo's and got
the got the Enzo Special. It was real, nos. You and your
Enzo's you love them? Well, you dog got a bone to pick the
day you were talking about some place on Paco that did didn't. Oh,
you were talking about New York versus Chicago pizza and you were dissing pizzas on
Paco and I'm like, I let it slide. At the time, it's
like, that's where zos is Man's pizza, pizza bar or something. Oh
there's pizza bar. That's yeah, that's fancy pizza. That's that's date pizza.
That's what I'm talking about. We were there once and I was like,
this is a fucking rap, Peter bread rap with few sprinkles of like
little tomatoes on it. I'm telling you that guy from Green Book who just
gets a pizza involved in a half and eats it like a cal zone.
And I was like, you better, I'll be talking about Enzos because that's
my pizzaia choice. No, no, shout out to Enzos. If you
want to sponsor a well known podcast, get on board. Speaking of Enzo's,
let's go back to shit joking. Now, the cartman's trying to take
a shit. He eventually does, and he needs something to wipe with,
and that's the one thing that always bothers me. I'm like, imagine if
you're taking shit in the woods and he don't even know white. We're like,
what do you do? No? People say, oh, that's where
we came from. I'm like, yeah, but we're not there anymore.
We're civilized now. We're gonna shit to the fucking woods. But they he
asked to borrow Kennedy's gloves, not going to happen. And then he says,
come over, look, I saw something. I saw something, saw
something. And the first thing it says is missa scared. Miss scared,
or she says, because she's a female to cover saw a car. Dude,
you're supposed to bury it, dad, How the hell could you lose
your voice back? For sure? I can't hear you. Dad, You
don't have a trick here. You smoke too by. She had it removed,
and then you dragged too by. You like your goddamn voice back?
Dad, Up, jim Dad, don't burp talk. That just sticks me
out. We had Bert talking on King of the Hill recently, didn't we
Bobby Hill was doing any birthday party? Yeah, the kids they all arrived.
They said, we've just found something. And of course the first thing
Jimbo says is get my shotgun. We got to kill it. Here they
catch it and they find it in the Ostrich trap and Cartman has an immediate
connection, almost like Et and Elliott. He's like, yeah, no,
we can't kill him, and he's like, oh fine, Shore, we
won't kill him. So then they show him to the town. The man's
there as well, and the Department of Interior arrive and they explain the whole
story of the checovosaur and how there you know there's any two of them left,
and they want to read these chucoposaurs are the ones who can repopulate the
earth. This one, we need this one. Then we get the town
naming it, Hope, as you were saying earlier, it's just classic South
Park and it's like, my name is June, Juan, I think its
name is June June. Dude, Like, I don't think I think we
should be renaming it. We know it knows what its name is. It's
telling us Garrison Office looked after it. And then we could really kind of
odd gay but having sex with a pigeon. Everybody knows that pigeon wants to
tell slaty tell us slat hands up. Who hasn't had sex to that pigeon.
I just love that couples, just Garrison being so nasty. He's the
sex devio of the show, isn't he. Yeah, the guy that offers
the barn though for the Jacovosaur to live and stay. But now back at
starts pond and it's clear that another Chacovosaw has come out of the water,
and it finds Cartman's bag with his address on it. And then we got
to Cartman who's also watching the Sword Channel, the shopping Channel and Missus cart
He's knock at the door, Missus Cartman, just smoking up in bed with
two dudes. I thought I thought there gonna be the Department of Interior,
but that it wasn't those guys, was it? It wasn't them? I
thought it was Interior. Was it? Well, they weren't wearing the glasses,
or maybe it was then then was it? Well? I mean,
I'm wearing glass at the moment, but I don't wear them all the time,
if you know what I'm talking about. Just feels like it would be
the obvious gad to have it. Let's have a look, Missus Cartman,
Department Interior. I'm glad you didn't start with threesome crack. This doesn't say
anything about having sex with missus Carmen on their page. Listen, maybe it's
nothing. I don't know either way. She's um, she's having a good
two she's been be able with two dudes on the crack butt, yes,
and she's about to have a good time, as are they. So she
says, you know, go into the door. Turns out it's a mail
j cover saw and he is the full Juga. So the other one talks
to him about that miss and music at the accent. But this one is
loud and obnoxious without in a way that like Judge, I wasn't meaning to
be obnoxious. It was just said over excited. He just was yeah,
and everyone like no one hates him. They're just like prefer he wasn't around,
you know, Okay, okay, how'd you like it? Yeah?
Man, I didn't know this stack again, that's nice. Mphy, Please
help me? Whoa whoa? Please help me fight Jude Jude Jeers, the
god said, let's do today. World scared? You mean the other Jack
Adagi? What made the Jack over thare? Yeah, Jacob Joy that's where
they call you, oh cool bams. But the end of Jack avoid different,
don't because June Joe's a girl girls dok different friend out. They're never
going to believe it. Please take me to Joe Jude. We're the last
of our kide. There are only two of us left. So he goes
to take him. She goes to show the boys, or I think he
invites the boys over. They don't believe him. Then that Jakova saw Jakov.
Jakov walks in and they find him annoying immediately, so they all go
to the barn in Fenn. No, he's annoying, He's really annoying.
So then all of us they take him to the to the barn to see
juin Jun and just yeah, there's acting really fucking just over the top,
just over the top. Nothing else to really say. But Cartman thinks there
hilarious. Everyone else thinks it's stupid. Cartman thinks it's hilarious the entire time.
The Mayor and then the Mayor and Coat arrive. We come up from
commercial and Ned is calling for a new voice box. He's trying to talk
to him on the phone vibe burping, and Jimbo rocks up with one and
just teases him, and I was just like, I don't know, don't
teasing head. It's very hard. Their relationship is very Barton Millhouses. It
is a bit. I mean, I think Jimbo has certainly a deep and
underlying affection for Ned. But at the same time, yeah, I think
he liked any small scarcer power that he would have in an otherwise powerless life.
So yes, he will be lorded over Ned. Who you know.
I mean, we remember Ned from the Vietnam flashback. He was a guy
who sort of had it all together. And we hear a bit later on
when he gets his replacement voice box. Oh yeah, you had those dulcet
tones and you were Yeah, you had it all going on. But now
you're minus and arm and minus a voice box. And is he minus anything
else? He's got both legs, hasn't he You're both ways? Yeah,
just an arm and his voice box. Yeah, it's Ned who's missing an
arm? Right, Yeah, Jimbo's got both arms. Jim's got both arms.
Yeah. Yeah. So that we get the announcement here, they're going
to help the Chacova saws breed so they can bring the species back and have
them flourish through South Parking. Yeah for us, But I think it's Kylo
is it Carlos Stan who says, dude, we really want another one of
these things hanging around. Yeah, suddenly realize I don't think we want more.
But then the Cartman starts to give his speech. He's very proud of
himself. One leaves. Then they leave Hope and Jakov in the house together
to have sex, and they go out and listen outside and I don't know
what was happening in the house at that moment, but it wasn't sex,
and you know, she runs out. Missa just don't wanna. And they
realize that they don't know how to meet. No one knows how they're supposed
to make but there is another option, and it is Methhesto, who has
injected Seamen into June June. Even like here, it's always like Jakov has
tried to do stand up with a really bad stand up but no, he's
just beating himself. Where's the boat? And then Cartan's like else, hilarious.
Everyone's like yeah, nice one awesome, just being very annoying and they're
not sure if they do what anymore. But then it's kind of like,
oh god, these guys. Yeah, but then someone has gone too far.
They're watching the game and Jakov he's that one guy rooting for the wrong
team that working to take it to a Remember took a friend to a footy
game once who had never been to a footy game, didn't really follow footy,
and like this player like kick to the bounds in the fall and he
yells out holding the ball and I was like, that's the wrong thing,
not with me. Oh no, Bobby Brister is having a great first corner.
Let's see what trickery he uses here. Here's the snap and he's thanks,
fight fighting me to watch the game, guy, no problem. Jakov
to the forty yard line. Yeah, dis di, we're rooting for the
Broncos here, Jakovo, Terrell Davis, he's at the fifty the forty right,
know what? That's one time I was watching that's rabbit, a broad
rabbit breaks another tackle on the ball. You guys know what happened. And
Doug Duggie right in front of me, jackof could you run down to the
store and get some more pretzels? Shure you got buddy. Here here you
go, and don't go to the store down the block, the one four
miles away, and fair play as better pretzels. Cool beat, let's see
shove me right back, jackof the store has kind of pissed me off.
Good yep. He kept using the term cool beans. I get a sense
that TRAYU meant hate people who say cool beans, cool beans. I went
through a phase when I was like a teenager, say yeah, cool beans,
yeah, cool beans, and now back, and I'm like, oh
man, the person whoever I said that too every time I said just cringed
inside every time. Oh yeah, cool beans, cool beans. The worst.
I mean, it's fine, but it's just at the same time,
Oh yeah, I mean, but there's nothing worse than when you're you think
you've very slickly included some cool new slang indira and your every day vocabin,
someone just calls you on. It's like or you think, oh I've come
up with a cool new phrase here, and you drop it maybe twice and
someone just goes, yeah, we heard you the first time. Yeah not
good. That happened to me at school once and I've never forgotten, Really
what was it? Would you say? Oh forgotten? I've forgotten exactly what
it was, but I do record, yeah we heard you, and oh
no, cool I thought I was missed a popular Oh no, but they
send Jacova saw Jakov off to get some pretzels from a faraway store, so
it doesn't bother them. Then four days has gone by, as you're already
ready to give birth, and fine, just fine, and they they laugh
about stillborns here, I'm like, I'm not surely sure in any way she'd
be making jokes about stillborns. I just think it's one of those things that
it's one of those topics that can really trigger somebody who has had to live
through that. It's not something that it's important to discuss it and bring it
up, but to including in a comedy. I just think it's kind of
distasteful, even for South Park. I don't know, there's some there's some
things where I just think you don't cross that line. Stillborns is one of
them. For me, I've never I've never been in that situation, but
I know people who have and it never leaves them like they it's still it
was like six years ago and until this day they struggled to even talk about
it. So I just think even just addressing it on a show like South
Park, it's such a halt half fashion didn't work for me at all.
I get where you're coming from I wholly understand it. I will play Devil's
advocate here, ding ding and say that, you know, try impact putting
words into kids mouse that even the kids don't understand, they know that it's
controversial, and they know that the kids know that it's controversial, even if
they don't wholly understand why. They probably wouldn't don't even understand what stillborn is.
But you know, it's like when I think Cartman has he used it
already in episodes we've done, he refers to someone as a as a vast
deference, which is like, you know, part of your party of balls
made like a vein in your scrotim or something, and you know catas deference.
So you've heard it in a science class or something like I'll do with
your balls. Okay, well I'm going to use that say it or something.
Yeah, And they probably heard, you know, like a parent or
something saying, oh, someone says channel was stillborn. It says, oh,
that must be terrible to call someone that. I wholly get where you're
coming from. Um, And that's my half asked defense of Parker and Stone
using it in this situation. But you're right, I mean sometimes a little
sensitivity does not go astray. But didn't even add anything to this didn't really
add much. I'm like, if if the joke made the scene better,
then I'd be like, Okay, well, at least it was there for
a reason. It didn't add anything to this scene, which is why I
think it wasn't necessary here. I get where you're coming from, absolutely,
but she shoots out a shitload of babies and to the point where you're like,
oh man, we have made a terrible mistake. What a messy situation,
just just shooting them out like a cannon as they call, and stands
he's not so sure about this, and then she cover saws. All the
babies are now in class, and if mister Garrison can't stand it, they're
just like even he wants to teach these kids, He's like, what the
hell is going on here? The kid that is raising their hands when they
don't know and they're interrupting. But meanwhile, though Cartman loves them, Cartman
thinks they're hilarious. Cartman's the only person, obviously, as they say at
the end, that he found the one person who was annoying as he was
Okay, children, we have some new students joining us today. Let's I'll
be warm and welcome them to our class. Dude's crowded in here. I
like Scott. Okay, So we're just gonna stick to our normal lesson plan
and start of the day with history. Now, does anyone know why Chubby
Checker laugh the Beatles in nineteen seventy two? Yes, I gotta go.
Okay, is there anybody who can answer the question. I can't me that,
damn it. You don't raise your hand if you don't know. Oh
what, Oh fight fight God. I liked God. I liked that.
Gangs are scared. Now, Jack out of Jackstay. This is insane,
mister Garrison. Sure. Now at the bar and everyone's just ranting and hating
on the Jakova Saws and they want them gone. And this is where they
make It's the idea. I got it. They're big, they're loud,
they're annoying, they're stupid. Where can we send them? Memphis? Tough
break for Memphis. Yeah, I've never heard anyone like a show make fun
of Memphis in this way. Usually we watch Futu rama. It's um it's
a Brooklyn Asian New Jersey, New Jerseys, doesn't it. But Memphis.
Yeah, I've never heard of Memphis cops in flak like this. Yeah.
I mean, I think the go tos for American shows when it came to
like, oh, no One wants to live there would we usually New Jersey
and J Cleveland, Cleveland jay Z, but Cleveland Rods Cleveland was right.
I wanted to go to Cleveland so bad when I was a kid because I
thought that's where Drew Carey lived. I just I love the Drew Carey Show.
It's such a shame that you can't watch it on any streaming services because
of all the licensing rules, because there were so many actual songs in the
show that they used that I want to pay the licensing fees. So like,
it's like the Drew Carey Show never existed. You can't. You can't
find it anywhere. You can download it and get the direct off TV taped
off TV copies, But it would be amazing if someone could just fork out
the dough and just get the high quality version of the Drew Carey Show.
Because I loved the Drew Carey Shows kid thought it was hilarious. One of
these days, we can only dream I should start a Drew Carey podcast.
They we shouldn't be. But this is the thing that I've thought about it,
and then I went, yeah, but if people can't access the show,
then why what's the point. I feel like the shows like this you
need to be able to rewatch along with the podcast that he's listening. That's
a good point anyway. But Cartman here, he doesn't want them to leave,
But the Department of Interior has a plan. And the plan is they're
gonna leave, and they're gonna leave. Leave it, leave them in their
own ship, kind of like when um Steve Martin was on The Simpsons.
Leave you wallowing in the ship that you've started by, Yeah, you're screwed.
Then they give Cartman the honorary making an honorary Department of the Interior and
is in charge of fishing, wildlife or water wildlife whatever. I have Oh
god, no, because a Cartman has a third time. I have a
yes, and people have to respect it. Yes. Then the DCOPO saw
as we get a sitcom parody here on Comedy Central, and there was a
couple of awesome gags here, just like the one where was like took care
of your mom too, Carbon enters to applause. I was like, what
the hell is that? Yeah? Yeah, I was like, but I'm
watching, going is this like in Canada of the episode or what don't we
here? It threw me and I realized, oh, it's just their piss
take. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It throws the balance of the episode
off a little bit. At the same time, it's like, no,
I appreciate what you're doing. Yeah. And because this is the thing,
this is essentially a sitcom, So the story is just like in your classic
sitcom, We've been invited to a game show where the winner gets on a
holiday all the spencer is paid, and the mayor says to the boys,
you know you keep Cartman distracted. Whilst these chercover saws are doing the game
show. You feel like, why can't you just say to the Jacover Saws,
he's a pay vacation. You can just go like why did it give
it to them? But they get to the public access station and Barb Brady
here is told to lose, and immediately, as a viewer you're like,
oh, we know where this is going. This guy's knitting. So if
there's one person who's as dumb as a Jacover sows on South Park, it's
Barb Brady. I feel like he is definitely one of my least favorite characters.
We mentioned in the last episode it was one before, maybe it was
one before that he's just to me, doesn't really add much to any scene
that he is in Barbraidy anymore, and it's just annoying. I did like
the Elvis when he was taking over where he thought he was Elvis at the
the planetarium, but I don't know. He's just there to sort of be
a grown up Ralph Wigham and it doesn't work for me very much. But
they can win to trip to France, and the Javers keeps interrupting. Eventually
the mayor just says, like, unplug their buzzes because they're both idiots,
and then Barbarady answers the question, so then the mayor has to make it
best out of three, just both idiots. The kids are now taking Cartman
out to see a new species, and he's like, oh, let's get
my pad house so I can clssify this new species. Should be fine,
Yes, just found his fan. Just Cartman just trying to act distinguished,
much like Homer Simpson. Whenever they're trying to act distinguished, it's always hilarious.
Oh yeah. And then he sees Kenny and even he's smart enough to
go, that's just Kenny with branches on his hands, and they come clean
and this is work cart and realize, so he races off to stop the
jacavers Off from winning. Meanwhile, they did mention that the species would be
eaten by a bear soon and Kenny gets eaten by a bed. But we
didn't get it. You killed Kenny e Barstards in this episode. But actually
I think it would have ruined the rhythm of the gag. The bear just
go yeah, yeah, de varium, Look that's good, that's what's all
needed. Yeah, what's two plus two? Jack Off? I don't know
for jack Off? What is your name? Jack Off? Oh screw it,
Jackoff? Wins I do? You and your entire family are going to
wonderful and exotic France. All right, all right, everybody, let's get
them to the airport. Let's go, people, there's no time to lose.
They take all the cover source to the airport and Campman tries to stop
the plane. He tries, toybody, can't they fly off? Did you
see what the airline was called? No pos Air? So that they're off
on their way to France now and they explain to m to the boys know,
animal species species, They come and go, you know, you can't
go around saving every every form of life, you know. And and I
love that it was in Trey's voice as well, Ned's new voiceboxes just he's
what what would you call that voice? It sounds like almost like just Tray's
normal voice, but it's a it's he's I don't know, it's not quite
it's not quite South Park News read a voice, because that's really putting on
that vose. But but it's more like everyday news read advice. It's very
sort of smooth and well, boys, it's a bit like this, I'm
gonna sit you down and tell you a good message here. It's it's America's
dad voice. Yeah, yeah, which is but they think ship Jim says
that voice is terrible. Cartman just leaves his heartbreak and he's sad. They
said, well, I guess he just found something that was annoying as he
was, and we didn't get any resolution to Cartman in this duey. He
just leaves sad. But you cover saws now in France and France and they
just chick goes wrong and you think they're about to go, oh my god,
can you believe what these guys are? But they all start laughing.
They think that just like Jerry, and that's the end of the episode.
So it's odd that a South Park's not the means the story is left open
ended. I'm surprised they didn't wrap it up with Cartman, now that you
think about it. Well, I didn't realize that at the time, but
upon this review, it's like, oh, I felt that the Cartman story
needed a full stop. It needed an ending, and it didn't really give
one for Carte, did they. He's just let's sad because the Jacovo Saws
are gone. Yeah, didn't need it, but it would have been nice
to have it, I guess. So, I mean, I think the
focus is more on the Jacovo Saws, and if there's resolution for them,
then you know that's okay. Yeah, South Park is going to return to
business as usual eventually. And I too that the Jacova Saws end up in
a place where they're going to be wanted and felt needed and not hated because
jar Jar binks, as we said, annoying character. But I was glad
it was one of the movies where you see he's become like some sort of
like so one of like the Queen's Helpers or something where he's clearly he got
his ship together, he's got a gig, and it's like, at least
he's not not being mistreated, because he was. He was treated badly by
um, by his people, and they hated him because basically how South Park
treated the Chacovo Saws in this episode is how the gun Guns treated Jar,
which was understandable why they didn't want him around, but it was just nice
to know that he ended up in a spot where he wasn't annoying people and
he was able to sort of get on and be happy. And that's what
Jacovosaur has got here as well live his best life indeed. All right,
So that is our review of the Chacovosaurs. I had a few people writing
in on the Patrion group saying, I can't wait to get the Chacovosaws.
You're not gonna like that one. That one's really annoying. People hate that
one. I was like, oh really, and then we've reviewed it and
I thought this was awesome. Yeah, it's annoying, but it's annoying with
a purpose, much like this podcast as opposed to Season seventeen of The Simpsons.
Next episode, mister Davis of Going down to South Park, we are
going to be revisiting Tweak versus Craig. Do you have any memories of that
one? Oh? I remember is a schoolyard school yard skirmish. Okay,
