Speaker 1: The network president's office. Isn't there?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Thanks, dud, No problem, man, Hello, just can't be right?
Speaker 1: How a buger motherfucker kick ash.
Speaker 4: Welcome to Going Down to South Park, the podcast where
Speaker 4: we always have ourselves the time, and this week we're here.
Speaker 4: We're back with part two of the Wars of the Cartoons.
Speaker 5: I'm Dando and guy. Yes, you've obviously been on tenderhooks
Speaker 5: for the last fortnight waiting for the resolution ato the
Speaker 5: video game. There's a video game called ten Hawks Fortnite. Oh,
Speaker 5: I just showed myself to be doubly ignorant. So is
Speaker 5: it called this? No, it's called this the most popular
Speaker 5: thing in the world. Oh, Southuk were recently on there.
Speaker 5: That's correct. I didn't know about that.
Speaker 4: Has it come out yet? Has a south fak won't
Speaker 4: come out yet? I think they've ever announced it south
Speaker 4: Park so you can find out in real time. I
Speaker 4: was journing til February. Yeah, I never played it. That's
Speaker 4: a shame because I would have loved to have been
Speaker 4: like Carl because I like playing at the Simpsons. But
Speaker 4: were you running around the South part town?
Speaker 5: Though? Why are you asking me? Did you hear what
Speaker 5: I just said? Can you spell Fortnite? Yeah in it?
Speaker 5: Oh well answer yeah, but anyway, Cartoon War's Part two,
Speaker 5: that's how you spell Fortnite. Anyways, I've always spelled no.
Speaker 5: I was just there sniping, guying, and you think there's bad, Yes,
Speaker 5: get used to a lot of you's bad. But yeah,
Speaker 5: Cartoon Wall's Part two. I enjoyed this one a lot
Speaker 5: more than part one. I think I'm refusing to for
Speaker 5: different reasons. I'm refusing to separate the two. It's all
Speaker 5: one thing, as as I'm concerned. I guess it probably was.
Speaker 5: It was designed to be that way, wasn't it. I
Speaker 5: think so? Yeah, but a tripper conclusion. Just a good
Speaker 5: bit of storytelling and also a good bit of sort
Speaker 5: of like know social documentation.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this this one. We touched on part one about
Speaker 4: how having to know that behind the scenes. I think
Speaker 4: you have to have known more of it behind the
Speaker 4: scenes to get this one more than part one.
Speaker 5: I think, so yeah, it's almost really really about the
Speaker 5: nitty and gritty a little bit inside baseball. You're absolutely right,
Speaker 5: and certainly near the end it's very much the case like, yeah,
Speaker 5: this is the way it is, or this is the
Speaker 5: way the sausage is made. Yeah, so interesting in that regard,
Speaker 5: but a funny episode certainly, and I really like, I said,
Speaker 5: a really good conclusion to this epic saga, as you
Speaker 5: were saying, maybe the first sort of two parts of
Speaker 5: the special.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the thing was the teas last week last
Speaker 4: episode was that we're going to find out who the writers,
Speaker 4: what's the secret about this? The writers of the Family
Speaker 4: Guy team, And it turns out that they are manatees
Speaker 4: who get the idea balls, they put them into the
Speaker 4: hole and then they formed the five different balls. They've
Speaker 4: got nouns and adjectives and whatnot, and they make a
Speaker 4: joke based off of that.
Speaker 5: A pop culture reference. Yes, yes, yeah, that was the
Speaker 5: sec and I thought that was a fun reveal. Indeed,
Speaker 5: what did you think it could be? Do you think
Speaker 5: it could be anything else?
Speaker 4: When it first When I was first watching it, I
Speaker 4: couldn't remember the manatees, so I actually went in going,
Speaker 4: all right, what was it?
Speaker 5: I'd actually think of what it could be. But I
Speaker 5: was really really excited.
Speaker 4: Entering interested because I know what Parker and Stone like,
Speaker 4: what are they going to come up with here? So
Speaker 4: I think that's why I think it's just a fantastic teas.
Speaker 4: It's a really good reveal and a really good tease.
Speaker 4: You're right, I was initially I don't think this was
Speaker 4: my Oh it's.
Speaker 5: This, Yeah, But I think in previous episodes they've sort
Speaker 5: of had has it been Moses, but it's been like
Speaker 5: the EMC, the Master Control Unit from Tron. Yeah, that
Speaker 5: wasn't that God. That God was the Yeah, but it
Speaker 5: sort of talks a bit like this, like zored On
Speaker 5: from Power Rangers a little bit, but it's also I
Speaker 5: don't know, it's almost like Cartman is also say it
Speaker 5: could be a bit like this.
Speaker 4: I thought I found that to be a bit of
Speaker 4: a letdown. I thought this was more of a fun
Speaker 4: reveal because I didn't like Family Guy, and I've got
Speaker 4: nothing against Family Guy now. But again, Parker Star, I
Speaker 4: don't think have anything against Family Guy as an entity.
Speaker 4: They have something to do. They have an issue with
Speaker 4: the writing template and the structure of the way it's
Speaker 4: put together.
Speaker 5: They have said it's clearly smart people working on it.
Speaker 5: I wish they worked a bit harder, that's what they're saying. Differently, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm sure they're working hard, but well that's park I
Speaker 5: think they said I wish they worked harder as when
Speaker 5: he said, okay, yeah, so the thing is here, smanites,
Speaker 5: you get the ideas.
Speaker 4: And the reason I loved it is because, as silly
Speaker 4: as this sounds, you could literally actually this could work
Speaker 4: because this is how A found the guy joke feels
Speaker 4: like it's structured. Get a few things, put them together,
Speaker 4: make a joke out of it, splice it in.
Speaker 5: We've seen this before. Actually, I just mentioned Awesomo and
Speaker 5: it's kind of a bit like that in terms of
Speaker 5: you know, also I going before the studio executives and
Speaker 5: like just riffing on Adam Sandler stuff, just like he's
Speaker 5: the most basic thing, or he's the most random thing,
Speaker 5: but Adam Sandler is or whatever, or even the Rob
Speaker 5: Schneider ga it care. They seemed like Karrot's for some reason,
Speaker 5: because there's a carriage shout out there. Care Okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: I think they do not like lazy storytelling or hackneyed premises.
Speaker 5: I think or if they, if they have to deal
Speaker 5: with something like that, they will do their utmost to
Speaker 5: put a spin on it or subvert it. Again.
Speaker 4: And as of course, the theme for the first one
Speaker 4: was fredom of a speech and I was really hammered
Speaker 4: down here. It's like, you know, you need to allow
Speaker 4: these people did to make this choke because it's either
Speaker 4: everything's okay one of it or yes. And of course comedies,
Speaker 4: I think out of all these Comedy Central, the ones
Speaker 4: that come across, like the Villains and all of it.
Speaker 5: Well they do. Yeah. I mean when we recorded our
Speaker 5: previous episode about cartoon was part one, there was stuff
Speaker 5: that we it's going to be in part two. We
Speaker 5: didn't want to allude to it. We're going to talk
Speaker 5: about it in this episode. But I think they actually
Speaker 5: and I missed this the first time and I found
Speaker 5: out about it later when they're talking to the president
Speaker 5: of Fox. They referred to them as Doug. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: it was the head of Comedy Central at the time,
Speaker 5: Doug hurtzg Oh okay, so a veiled shout out. Who
Speaker 5: knows talking directly to Doug probably the case.
Speaker 4: Yes, I also loved so we have Simpsons already did it,
Speaker 4: But this feels like the Simpsons episode to me because
Speaker 4: you literally have a Bart Simpson parody with what sounds
Speaker 4: like a bad Nancy cart right impersonation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like with the family guys. Well, I was like,
Speaker 5: as I mentioned on our previous episode, was like, it
Speaker 5: sounds like Peter Griffin but a bit but not quite.
Speaker 5: And yeah, this is I want to say, it's a
Speaker 5: good Nancy camera, but it's not pretty. It's not bad.
Speaker 5: It's not bad either. It's somewhat of a crossover Tott. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I forgot how much Bart was actually in this episode.
Speaker 5: I initially thought he just had the cameo where it's
Speaker 5: like you pan over and here he's on the couch
Speaker 5: and he's waiting because he doesn't found the guy. I
Speaker 5: remember the little exchange about between Cartman and Bart about
Speaker 5: I don't know, I'm a pretty bad kid. I saw
Speaker 5: the head of a statue and can't response with the
Speaker 5: whole Scott Tenneman, I fed him his own parents and
Speaker 5: his own parents, okay Man, Yeah, but there Bart has
Speaker 5: a little bit more to do in this episode, a pivot.
Speaker 5: He's a supporting character. Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So overall, I just thought this one, this one felt
Speaker 4: more important, It felt grander. It felt like you know,
Speaker 4: said I said in the part one, how this felt
Speaker 4: like a special It felt like it was all building
Speaker 4: to this.
Speaker 5: Yeah. The epiconclude, well, one might say the TEA two
Speaker 5: T one T two versus Terminator.
Speaker 4: Ye see, and I prefer T too. You prefer tea one?
Speaker 4: Is that purely beast nostalgia though? Or do you just
Speaker 4: think it's well, they're two different movies, aren't they. They're
Speaker 4: very too different. They're two very different movies.
Speaker 5: Yeah. T three this I don't really talk about. I
Speaker 5: don't mind two three. You don't mind it.
Speaker 4: I watched I watched it again the other day and
Speaker 4: I was like, you kept saying it's not too bad.
Speaker 4: I was like, and you were like, it is, it's fine.
Speaker 4: But overall, what did you like about this one? I'll
Speaker 4: just favor most. What did you like most about it?
Speaker 5: Look, I thought the reveal was fantastic. I thought, no, yeah,
Speaker 5: man of ts and yeah yeah, the reveal of the
Speaker 5: other writers and how they didn't just there was real
Speaker 5: reasoning behind it as well. I mean, it wasn't just
Speaker 5: like the jokes are told by a bunch of mammals
Speaker 5: in a tank, like, no, he's their reason and here's
Speaker 5: how they do. It's like, oh, we actually thought this
Speaker 5: out and just at the end with the whole it seems.
Speaker 5: I think I use the term meta when we were
Speaker 5: talking about cartoon was part one. This really sort of
Speaker 5: delves into that in terms of like the Nate sure
Speaker 5: of using terrorism to stifle free speech, or you using
Speaker 5: violence or the threat of violence to stifle free speech.
Speaker 5: What are your responsibilities when you've got this not this weapon,
Speaker 5: but when you want to tell jokes or you wanted
Speaker 5: to pick something, you know, how far shot you go?
Speaker 5: What's what are your responsibilities? All that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: I find that really interesting. I thought they did it
Speaker 5: well in this.
Speaker 4: One thing I will say is I don't think they
Speaker 4: really wrapped up the head in the Sands story all
Speaker 4: that well. No, we never really got a reson. No,
Speaker 4: you just sort of everyone in the across the nations
Speaker 4: had the head in the sand.
Speaker 5: That's right. Yeah. You see Carl's sort of passing by
Speaker 5: some guy with this in the hands. What's going on here?
Speaker 5: See anyone take their heads out of the hand. It's like, oh,
Speaker 5: what happened? Yeah? Yeah, I mean that would be the
Speaker 5: best way to end it. Just yeah, someone pulling their
Speaker 5: head and saying like, oh, what happened? Yeah, because you're uninformed,
Speaker 5: you're not paying attention. Yeah, yeah, just that final sort
Speaker 5: of confrontation in the boardroom between the President of Fox,
Speaker 5: Kyle and Cartman, both presenting their points of view. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I thought it played pretty well. Do you have any
Speaker 5: favorite members from the episode when Cartman and Bart are
Speaker 5: talking and I think I think Bart says, is that
Speaker 5: like terrorism? It isn't like terrorism, it is terrorism. I
Speaker 5: thought that was great. Bart's one of my smash cow
Speaker 5: Bunker motherfucker. I want to get your thoughts on Cartman
Speaker 5: versus Bart, because you know you're a big I mean, well,
Speaker 5: we're both Simpsons guys, but you're a big Simpsons guy.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, whether you liked the depiction in this,
Speaker 5: what do you thought about it? I liked that to me.
Speaker 4: It was them saying Bart is being influenced by South Park, Right,
Speaker 4: so he's been influenced by Cartman, but is an anoughty kid.
Speaker 4: But is you know, he's the it was even a
Speaker 4: bad boy in Simpsons anymore. He's like, that's what he
Speaker 4: was based off. His whole thing was I'm the naughty kid,
Speaker 4: the more mischief than being down right cruel and mean.
Speaker 4: But you know, he spends five minutes of Cartman, all
Speaker 4: of a sudden he's killing Kyle and.
Speaker 5: Other stuff. I like, I mentioned this before when we
Speaker 5: were talking about part one. But there's the guy who
Speaker 5: gives Carl the lyft to our in his pickup trick.
Speaker 5: He meant to be anybody. It felt like it had
Speaker 5: to be something. This is going to be like a
Speaker 5: really weird deep count and I could be completely incorrect.
Speaker 5: Saturday Night Live, he used to do this thing where
Speaker 5: the late great Norm McDonald would do an impression of
Speaker 5: Burt Reynolds, and he always was dressed in like a
Speaker 5: red shirt with like a bolo tie. Okay, now it
Speaker 5: seems like a real weird thing to connect those two together. Though.
Speaker 5: That's the thing. What's he have to do with dropping
Speaker 5: someone off? Yeah? See maybe yeah, visually visually kind of
Speaker 5: looks like usually kind of looks like him, right, did
Speaker 5: he have that little I don't know about the yeah,
Speaker 5: the thing at the top, but yeah, I just like
Speaker 5: that guy saying yeah, no, it's joke after joke. But
Speaker 5: I like that. That's what I like. Yeah, we've already
Speaker 5: mentioned everything is okay or to write about or nothing is.
Speaker 5: I think that's great, And I did mention in our
Speaker 5: previous episode talking about the final we'll talk about the
Speaker 5: final cartoon. That's the Nation of Islam or Islamic sort
Speaker 5: of extremists do to show them, Erica, what's what crapping
Speaker 5: on each other? Yeah, but I did like at the
Speaker 5: very end, just again mis bronounce in this gentleman's name. Apologies,
Speaker 5: but I'm an al Zawahiri Muslim terrorist. As we mentioned,
Speaker 5: one of the orchestrators of the September eleven attacks, saying, oh, yeah,
Speaker 5: take that, we burned you so immature. Something I thought
Speaker 5: was really good, though, was when Kyl and Cartman are
Speaker 5: in the Fox President's office. They're both trying to present
Speaker 5: this speech. Oh, they're both trying to present their points
Speaker 5: of view, and the president goes, but he has a gunyah,
Speaker 5: So metaphor I don't to believe. I don't heed to trust. Okay,
Speaker 5: maybe the someone who's going to threaten violent, who's going
Speaker 5: to threaten me with violence, Maybe that's the point of
Speaker 5: view that I should follow. Yes, so, which is kind
Speaker 5: of the point of this episode, or one of the
Speaker 5: points of this episode. I loved Danny Pocket, little Danny
Speaker 5: Parker's crutch, but in particularly every time he'd cough ol yeah, Cartmen,
Speaker 5: committing to the bit. Oh, he always commits to the bit,
Speaker 5: it's so good. That's okay.
Speaker 6: Remember there are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
Speaker 5: Trivia Thomas David Trim time. Here is your first question. Okay.
Speaker 5: Then when the manatees are putting together the perfect family
Speaker 5: guy joke, which are the manatees got the Gary Coleman ball?
Speaker 5: So it would have been the last one they mentioned.
Speaker 5: But they say a name, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's not Tick or Pete's the other one?
Speaker 5: What was it? Gretchen? Gretchen? But the question was the
Speaker 5: well they mentioned? Do I say rich for the Gary Gary?
Speaker 4: I meant to say that because they do say all
Speaker 4: the names in order the doe.
Speaker 5: And so some are from somewhere and some are from
Speaker 5: somewhere of Mexico, Mexico, go for America now, thank you, Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's true. Yeah. I even ask me what the street
Speaker 5: of Trump? Now what the five words were?
Speaker 4: I've written that down, like Gary Coleman Mexican or Mexico Mexico,
Speaker 4: date Mexico date.
Speaker 5: The deep Gary Coleman in Mexico. So what do you
Speaker 5: do to get a date though? With Gary Coleman? Do
Speaker 5: you tell that they are laundry date winning Mexico and
Speaker 5: Gary Coleman's I Want to Date. Yeah, the perfect family
Speaker 5: gay joke, and you watch you're like, this could literally
Speaker 5: be on a Family Guy.
Speaker 4: That's what made it work so well for me, the
Speaker 4: fact that these parodies could literally be put into.
Speaker 5: A family episode.
Speaker 4: Sure, that was so spot on, and even as a
Speaker 4: Family Guy fan, you could not help at least acknowledge
Speaker 4: that and go, it's okay that you like it, but
Speaker 4: this is pretty much what it is.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, absolutely, do you like that? That's fine? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I think we all. I mean, how many times have
Speaker 5: I said I don't like people say there's no such
Speaker 5: thing as a guilty pledgure, just like what you like.
Speaker 5: I think if you've got a functioning brain stem, you'll
Speaker 5: look at something that you like and still go, there's
Speaker 5: some stuff wrong with this.
Speaker 4: Nicola and I whenever we watch shows like s FU
Speaker 4: and whatnot, and when they re explain what is it,
Speaker 4: when they yeah, but it's just you mean, it's oh,
Speaker 4: I was that guy that did this? And then Nicol
Speaker 4: always goes thanks to town is safety.
Speaker 5: I think John mulaney, who has the best bid on
Speaker 5: that sort of talking about SBU and how iced, is
Speaker 5: always the one who's really shocked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mean that's someone out there likes to have
Speaker 2: sex with little girls, Like, yeah, there's ice. Yeah, you're
Speaker 2: in the SBU you deal with sex crime. I love
Speaker 2: by the way, he's just become like so like a
Speaker 2: right wing so matter of fact ic tea right now,
Speaker 2: one of the last episodes we watched season twenty six,
Speaker 2: this woman, So this husband and wife wake up and
Speaker 2: whoor has been spray painted onto their garage door, right,
Speaker 2: and then they both get at a USB in the
Speaker 2: mail this is holl written on it and as footage
Speaker 2: of her looking like she's sedated, right, and so that
Speaker 2: she has been sedated by her husband turns her husband
Speaker 2: spoilers the husband's doing all this by a guy someone
Speaker 2: filming from a distance, which turns it to be a
Speaker 2: private eye of a man entering their house and sleeping
Speaker 2: with a woman who's like, she's awake, but she's clearly
Speaker 2: not yeah, going it's not awake awake.
Speaker 5: So it's like that French case. You ever heard about that? No,
Speaker 5: oh my god.
Speaker 4: Anyway, so basically what happens this the husband had made
Speaker 4: a fake account as the wife on like a on
Speaker 4: a kinky on a kicky website, and invited people have
Speaker 4: to sleep with her, and he sat there and watched
Speaker 4: oh d so anyway, but the thing is that the
Speaker 4: whole point was they get to the thing and she's
Speaker 4: she came and she goes, I think I've been raped.
Speaker 5: She's denying it, and she's like, you know, I don't
Speaker 5: remember this guy.
Speaker 4: I don't know who he is, blah blah blah, and
Speaker 4: they're all just like, you know, what, what could he
Speaker 4: be and actually goes, I'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 4: It's a woman who's been caught cheating and now she's
Speaker 4: trying to make up bullshit like I love it.
Speaker 7: It's just like.
Speaker 5: It's a it's a wife. It's being caught cheating around
Speaker 5: now she's lying about it.
Speaker 4: She's like cold as Nicholas goes, cold as fuck, cold bloo,
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 5: I had to bring them. But there was a case
Speaker 5: in France. This was a fairly high profile. Actually it's
Speaker 5: one of the years about yeah, wife and mother who
Speaker 5: had been rugged by her husband and he was putting
Speaker 5: this stuff on. This was probably a yeah, well they
Speaker 5: pretty based on that. Yeah. Sbu does a lot of
Speaker 5: rip from the headline stuff. But she would he would
Speaker 5: put online inviting guys to come over as if though
Speaker 5: he was her, and he's like, no, it's all consensual.
Speaker 5: It's all part of our kink. Yeah. I don't mean
Speaker 5: the whole everything about it is a bit sus, but
Speaker 5: that whole is like, you're really not twigging to these guys.
Speaker 4: Just Icy, I'll tell you what it is. Wow, She's like,
Speaker 4: I didn't know this guy. It's like everyone's like, what
Speaker 4: are we going to do here? I'll tell you what
Speaker 4: it is. Like it is, but it's for you introducing
Speaker 4: all these new characters, right, and the people are two
Speaker 4: or three episodes and they're gone and there's a new
Speaker 4: one coming and Icy like new members of the SVU. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then they're just not there anymore and ice Ty's
Speaker 4: and I looked it up and apparently they don't want
Speaker 4: to have to pay Iced Tea's wage as much anymore.
Speaker 4: So you appear's in like six episodes a season, and they
Speaker 4: bring in all these other randoms who don't have to
Speaker 4: pay as much to fill in the gaps, And I'm like,
Speaker 4: what the fuck is going on with the world?
Speaker 5: Just it's ic is what the backbones of this show?

Speaker 4: is the name of? It was a big tangent, that one.
Speaker 4: It was, but it was working for iced Tea.
Speaker 5: That's staying it. Yeah, my first question is what is
Speaker 5: the name. It's also one of my favorite moments. I
Speaker 5: didn't want to boil the trivia question of the Terrence
Speaker 5: and Phillips special and at the start was it trouble
Speaker 5: at the Lazy j Rem Mystery at the Lazy j Res.
Speaker 5: I love this because this is for South Park fans.
Speaker 5: Such a deep cut. What a fake out? Yeah?

Speaker 4: the original air date of Cartoon War Was Part two
Speaker 4: was April twelfth, two thousand and six. What do you
Speaker 4: think were the top three films at the US box
Speaker 4: office when this episode aired?
Speaker 5: Old wager that ice age two or three or whatever, eight,
Speaker 5: whatever the funk. It was something to do with a
Speaker 5: little scratch trying to get that nut wager. That was
Speaker 5: still number one, I says to the Meltdown was still
Speaker 5: number one, And they mentioned it in this episode, don't they. Yeah,
Speaker 5: well they made cold Cold Age old. I thought it's
Speaker 5: called the Snackdown. I said, the snackdown. Maybe it's a SmackDown.
Speaker 5: I wrote the SmackDown. Maybe it is the snack doown.
Speaker 5: It looks like he's holding the nut ice age to
Speaker 5: south Park. There it is cold age, it says the SmackDown. Okay,
Speaker 5: I was incorrect. The other two films at the US
Speaker 5: box office Number two the Benchwarmers. You were that one?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that isn't it? Think it's David is a
Speaker 5: bench warmer. And I think Napoleon Dynamite is the third. Yeah,
Speaker 5: never watched it. I remember the posters, just them going
Speaker 5: on a bench, we suck something like that. So that
Speaker 5: was number one. Number two, We've got a wrong water a.
Speaker 5: Number three was Take the Lead. Don't know, Take the Lead.
Speaker 5: I believe it's a dancing movie. I want to say
Speaker 5: another one, like, yeah, hip hop dancing, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think this one's like the Ten Girls. Something might
Speaker 5: be Antonio bandettas it is, Yeah, I have no recollection.
Speaker 5: Recollection is a dance teacher office to conduct detention for
Speaker 5: a group of misfit students by teaching them ballroom dancing.
Speaker 5: He overcomes their insecurities and prejudices prejudices to enter them
Speaker 5: in a dance competition. Who else is it? Dante Baska? Yeah,
Speaker 5: so he was Rufio. Long time listening to the show
Speaker 5: may recall that I rode in a limo down Hollywood
Speaker 5: Bulevard with Dante. Did you yeah, man? Why uh? Back
Speaker 5: around this time, I think when I was working as
Speaker 5: a as a show biz journo. It does a lot
Speaker 5: of voice working. Yeah, the fine folks at Disney, the
Speaker 5: Disney Channel flew me and a bunch of the reporters
Speaker 5: to La see come and see how our Disney shows
Speaker 5: are made. This is when high school Musical was a
Speaker 5: very big and a young lady and Miley Cyrus was
Speaker 5: the one that they was saying, keep an eye on
Speaker 5: this girl. She's about to start on a show called
Speaker 5: Hannah Montana. We think it might do well. And the
Speaker 5: last night we were there, they took us all his
Speaker 5: dinner with some of the talent, and a lot of
Speaker 5: drinks were had and I was like, yeah, someone's going
Speaker 5: club and somebody we want to come along? And I'm like, yeah, fine, man,
Speaker 5: I've been chatting with Dante about something. You say, yeah,
Speaker 5: come ride with us. It was me, I think his
Speaker 5: brother and a few in the back of this town
Speaker 5: go We're just going down Hollywood Bullvard went at the club?
Speaker 5: Was it awesome? It was pretty rad. You go to
Speaker 5: the Rhino, what's it called the Spin? That was another time.
Speaker 5: That was another trip to us. Anybody wanted. We went
Speaker 5: to the body Shop also. I got a whole story
Speaker 5: about that one, but not for this tease for next time.
Speaker 5: Was there to go on Ni South the body possibly?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that might. That's that's an after dark episode.
Speaker 5: You never look at the guy the same way the
Speaker 5: body shop? Correct, Yeah, but you take the lead was
Speaker 5: number three? Yes? All right? So the episode was written
Speaker 5: and directed on Misimming by Trey Parker. That is correct, Yes,
Speaker 5: written and directed by Trey. Yes, all right. So the
Speaker 5: episode kicks off with the as we're saying, the Terrence
Speaker 5: and Philip special, which was a good fake out. I
Speaker 5: was really at first, I was like, oh no, I
Speaker 5: wouldn't do to pass Parker and Stone those scams.
Speaker 4: But yes, but Muhammad arrives on his steer, but he's
Speaker 4: been sent to out once again. And Terence and Philip
Speaker 4: then ran to the network president in Canada, how can
Speaker 4: you do this? How can you censorus? And this is
Speaker 4: just tray a mat in Terrence and Philip form. They
Speaker 4: demand that the rerun is aired uncensored, and he says,
Speaker 4: your show has become so preaching and full of messages.
Speaker 4: You forgot how to be funny, which you feel like
Speaker 4: that's probably what the executives may have set the train
Speaker 4: mat quite possibly, but it does feel like they've got
Speaker 4: a lot of But they've been doing it from the start, though,
Speaker 4: haven't they. They've been having messages. You know, I've learned
Speaker 4: something today that was one.
Speaker 5: Of the sticks of Yeah, that was initially kind of them.
Speaker 5: It was done tongue in cheek. I think see now
Speaker 5: now it feels like they're doing stuff that's more what's
Speaker 5: in the news at the moment. Correct.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they've also been doing that for a long time.
Speaker 4: I think we're get well, me personally, I forget we
Speaker 4: do this show right well after season ten. Now the
Speaker 4: show's been on the air for ten years. An episode
Speaker 4: that we were viewed in season five doesn't feel all
Speaker 4: that long ago, but it's actually been five years, correct, Yeah,
Speaker 4: but it does feel like in the last couple of
Speaker 4: seasons though, there's more episodes that I always say that
Speaker 4: you need to know what's going on to understand and
Speaker 4: appreciate it to its full extent.
Speaker 5: I think in earlier seasons when they would have quote
Speaker 5: very special episodes or episodes that were about social issues
Speaker 5: or whatever, gayel Yeah, they tended to be sort of
Speaker 5: evergreen issues. Yeah, like yeah, like gay rights or something
Speaker 5: like that, whereas this is really drilling down more on
Speaker 5: I mean, it's free speech, and speech is always an
Speaker 5: important thing, but I mean the way they're talking about
Speaker 5: here with Muhammad, that feels very sort of well, it's
Speaker 5: relevant because they're talking about the Danish issue.
Speaker 4: Also, free speech is the theme here, but it's also
Speaker 4: they're starting to make more and more stories based around
Speaker 4: their own issues, for personal issues. They're making it almost
Speaker 4: like it's becoming their own experiences of bleeding into a
Speaker 4: show for.
Speaker 5: Them to air their own personal grievances. Sure, yeah, evens
Speaker 5: are experiences and I would say grievance in this one.
Speaker 5: They're annoyed that look. But when we get to the
Speaker 5: when we get to the big issue of the Central, Yeah, yes, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's yeah, that's legitimately call that a grievance. That's them
Speaker 5: saying fuck a you, Comedy Central to the Yeah, god down,
Speaker 5: Comedy Central. I mean, we said, are you going to
Speaker 5: puss out? And you and you did? Yeah. But they
Speaker 5: I guess they gave them a week to decide though,
Speaker 5: they said will they puss out? Correct?
Speaker 4: Yes, but they say, well, Family Guys still going to
Speaker 4: air this without being sensited? And I'm watching this going
Speaker 4: did Family Guy have my hummed without censuring it to like?
Speaker 5: Was that? I think that? Does Fox actually allow Family
Speaker 5: Go to air hummed? But they obviously they did.
Speaker 4: I don't think they did, no, but I think they're
Speaker 4: just trying to make Comedy Central look like a pussy saying, well,
Speaker 4: Fox are going.
Speaker 5: To do it correct. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But then Cartman, he's arriving through the security on his
Speaker 4: his big whig wheel. He had to go straight through security.
Speaker 4: He asked to talk to the president of the network
Speaker 4: to demand an episode as Pool.
Speaker 5: She says, this little boy he has already got an
Speaker 5: appointment and turns out to be Bart Simpson says, eat
Speaker 5: my should Kyle then finds people you know, in outside
Speaker 5: of the diner or whatever with the head in the
Speaker 5: sand because he's been abandoned there by cartman. Well, yeah,
Speaker 5: his big will blew up. Yeah he got push off
Speaker 5: the road and whatnot, and everyone's got the head in
Speaker 5: the sand. You guess there's a truck stop. It's all empty.
Speaker 5: And then he sees the news report on the TV
Speaker 5: about what South Park we're doing. It's swept across the nation.
Speaker 4: Now everyone's putting their head in the sand so they
Speaker 4: can try and avoid being feel the retaliation from the terrorists.
Speaker 4: Once they air this Family Guy episode and it says
Speaker 4: the terrorist here has said Family Guy better not show
Speaker 4: Muhammed tonight.
Speaker 5: I'm serious. Family Guy isn't funny. Then Bin Laden comes on.
Speaker 5: If you look closely at the riding of Family Guy,
Speaker 5: you will do you think they included Bin Laden here
Speaker 5: because maybe some people weren't aware of who the original
Speaker 5: guy was. I think I didn't know. And you think
Speaker 5: they put better Bin Larden was the poster boy of
Speaker 5: it all. Was we better put the big bed in there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Bin Larden has said that if you look closely at
Speaker 4: the writing of Family Guy, you will see that the
Speaker 4: joke's never derived from the plot, and I think that's
Speaker 4: totally gay. Then the news reporter says, and then he says,
Speaker 4: the terrorists retaliation will be immediate. But this is where
Speaker 4: we have the god you had mentioned earlier. That looks
Speaker 4: like moment. But Rendolds pointed the gun at Carl, saying
Speaker 4: you one of them because you have got your head
Speaker 4: in the sand.
Speaker 5: Comtman is now with bot.
Speaker 3: So you don't like Family Guy either, huh?
Speaker 1: I hate Family Guy?
Speaker 3: So what's your plan? You're gonna ask the president of
Speaker 3: the network nicely to take it off the air.
Speaker 1: Not nicely.
Speaker 3: Look, kid, if you hate a TV show, all you
Speaker 3: have to do is get an episode pulled. Pretty soon
Speaker 3: the show is compromised and it goes off the air.
Speaker 3: Cool man, Yes, so my plan is to use this
Speaker 3: whole Muhamma thing as a way to scare the network
Speaker 3: into pulling tonight's show. I'm going to use fear to
Speaker 3: get them to do what I want.
Speaker 1: Isn't that like terrorism?
Speaker 3: No, it isn't like terrorism. It is terrorism.
Speaker 1: I could do that.
Speaker 3: This is manipulation at its highest level. You should let
Speaker 3: me handle this.
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty bad kid.
Speaker 3: Really, what's the worst thing you've ever done?
Speaker 1: I stole the head off a statue once.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's pretty hardcore. Jeez, that's like this one time
Speaker 3: when I didn't like a kid, so I ground his
Speaker 3: parents up into chili and fed it to him.
Speaker 1: You got it, man, you got it.
Speaker 4: Now at the White House and the President's assuring the
Speaker 4: nation that he's exhausted every possible solution.
Speaker 5: I love how they're sort of not necessarily making George W.
Speaker 5: Bush the good guy, but he is kind of the
Speaker 5: voice of reason here in somewheers and they're turning the
Speaker 5: press Corps into this bunch of they're the idiots. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they don't know what the first Amendment is. Well, that's
Speaker 5: the you know, the right to free speech? Yes, what
Speaker 5: is this first amendment you speak of? It sounds like
Speaker 5: a bunch of bureaucratic gibberdy.
Speaker 4: Jew Honestly, this was two thousand and six. This could
Speaker 4: have been a movie.
Speaker 5: Sure. I tend to feel that about any sort of
Speaker 5: double part of them they do. I mean, like Imagination
Speaker 5: Land or something like that. Yeah, I mean, if you
Speaker 5: really want to thought, this is forty five minutes. You
Speaker 5: could have easily got seventy minutes out of this. Sure,
Speaker 5: throwing an extra third subplot of some kind could be fair.
Speaker 5: It just because got the president involved, and it just
Speaker 5: feels grand, doesn't it. Yeah, but you're right. So the
Speaker 5: President Bush is actually sort of like the baby face here. Well,
Speaker 5: he's the voice of reason, as you're saying, He's like,
Speaker 5: what what do you mean? It's the First Amendment?
Speaker 4: And the whole press think that this is something that
Speaker 4: his party obviously just them just taking the mickey out
Speaker 4: of the media.
Speaker 5: I guess, I guess, yeah, putting their head in the sand.
Speaker 5: Who knows. But now Fox Studios and Cartman arrives, he's
Speaker 5: got a new plan. Now he's gonna be little Danny
Speaker 5: Pocket with a little crutch. Who's any pocket to riff on?
Speaker 5: I'm I'm guessing tiny Tim.
Speaker 4: I was thinking tiny Tim as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: but I was like, Danny Pocket doesn't really sound like
Speaker 4: tiny maybe tiny tiny Tim.
Speaker 5: There's the Dole Polypocket. Oh yeah, the sort of old
Speaker 5: fashioned yep, maybe sort of just meant to bring up
Speaker 5: thoughts and images of just traditional Americana. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 5: he's got to crutch and everything of the poor kid,
Speaker 5: except he's totally Danish because in or maybe did you
Speaker 5: say my dad was working at Danie's newspaper? Maybe? Yeah,
Speaker 5: And there's suicide bombers and the old bombing. They're jumping
Speaker 5: around the Mexican jumping beans, and it's basically was his
Speaker 5: dad died as a result of them showing the cartoon
Speaker 5: of Muhammed, and he asked them to talk to the
Speaker 5: writing staff and he says then, and then they say, well,
Speaker 5: we'll let you go talk to the writing stuff. Maybe
Speaker 5: you can get through them. And then he says to
Speaker 5: himself and their family go, but he's good as dead.
Speaker 5: Would you say, I said thank you? Then the guy
Speaker 5: drops off. Kyle, I thank the life.
Speaker 3: For the right.
Speaker 6: Hey, it's the least I could do. I hope you succeed, kid.
Speaker 6: I really don't want to see Family Guy go off
Speaker 6: the air. I love that show.
Speaker 3: I'll do everything I can't.
Speaker 6: I mean, I know it's just joke after a joke,
Speaker 6: but I like that at least it doesn't get all
Speaker 6: preachy and up its own ass with messages.
Speaker 4: You know, was this like the Family Guy retaliation? Like
Speaker 4: people who like family guy. They say, yeah, well, you
Speaker 4: know South Park thinks it's all yeah.
Speaker 5: Parkeran's own calling out their own business before you know,
Speaker 5: anyone else can.
Speaker 4: Were they seen as eric because I was too young
Speaker 4: to sort of see I mind the scenes, because they
Speaker 4: got they got popular real fast parking Stone, Yeah. Did
Speaker 4: people get sick of them?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean this is around the time of yeah,
Speaker 5: but yeah, Team America is not too far out the
Speaker 5: review I think two thousand and five, which was very
Speaker 5: sort of naming celebrities by name and saying, look, you
Speaker 5: guys are spineless and way too left wing for your
Speaker 5: own good and well yeah later, but all the stuff
Speaker 5: they say about like Alec Baldwin and Sean Penn and
Speaker 5: all these others, and yeah, I think they at this
Speaker 5: stage had the reputation of like, well, you guys are
Speaker 5: just always calling people out. Yeah. I don't think it
Speaker 5: was they were up themselves or anything like that. It's
Speaker 5: just like I think people who weren't on their wavelength
Speaker 5: or who didn't like what they're doing, say, well, you're
Speaker 5: just being provocative for provocative sake? Were they seen as
Speaker 5: the bad boys anymore? Their sin? It's just just these
Speaker 5: these guys again doing their thing. Maybe, yeah, I think
Speaker 5: I think they were enough in the establishment by this stage.
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, we can't really call them transgressive, underground,
Speaker 5: or alternative. They're part of them alternative. No, no, they're
Speaker 5: part of the machinery. And maybe I think one of
Speaker 5: the one of the criticisms that some people had about
Speaker 5: Team America was like, you're trying a bit too hard
Speaker 5: to still be outsiders when you're not. Really.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like how people see, like the third
Speaker 4: time Ricky Gervas appeared as a host, It's like this
Speaker 4: was good the first time. Yeah, then he came back,
Speaker 4: but you came did it again?
Speaker 5: When you come back and start comedy paying me for this,
Speaker 5: Now it's a bit Now it's stick yeah, and expecting it.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah. I mean you're going to have to do
Speaker 5: something really outrageous to sort of keep that momentum going.
Speaker 5: Otherwise it's just like, oh, he's roasting us. It's like
Speaker 5: it's like a it's like a celebrity roast.
Speaker 4: The thing is and they bring it up. This is
Speaker 4: one of the last one. I think it might be
Speaker 4: the first one. But their joke structure here think it
Speaker 4: was Cartman's rant in the first part of Cartoon War
Speaker 4: though that South Pike. Yes, they have these moments, they
Speaker 4: have the controversial if they call people out, but there's
Speaker 4: still the template there of a solid foundation of TV, writing,
Speaker 4: of comedy, writing of storyte Everything is here for a reason.
Speaker 4: We always saund the South like. It's not very rarely
Speaker 4: they might do it occasion. We very rarely do things
Speaker 4: just appear just for the sake of a gag.
Speaker 5: We could do this without the gags. Yeah, this is
Speaker 5: the thing, Yeah, exactly. So this is where the guy is.
Speaker 5: He's dropped off Kyle and then he sees Bart writing
Speaker 5: I hate Family Guy has a football gag on the
Speaker 5: sidewall there, and he says, I want to go tell
Speaker 5: my my friend to stop what he's doing. And but
Speaker 5: it's already been sort of brainwashed by Carten, so toughing
Speaker 5: to go into the shed one five for Sea Shed
Speaker 5: goes in there, can't say anything, knocks me out behind
Speaker 5: cow bunker, motherfucker. I think it was funny hearing Bart
Speaker 5: say that. Fine, then Danny Pocket arrives at the Family
Speaker 5: Guy office and the writing stuff it's revealed here are manatees, yes,
Speaker 5: s Gretchen, Flobber, Tiger, Pete and Lucy. They choose the
Speaker 5: idea balls, swim them to the joke, combine. It goes
Speaker 5: down and forms part of the new script. They get
Speaker 5: the five balls and they combine it based off that
Speaker 5: so Laundry Date winning Mexico, Gary Coleman, Lou Gretchen, she's
Speaker 5: got the Gary Coleman ball. Yes, they really sort of.
Speaker 5: They're very caring about the the manatees.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is why they couldn't not show Muhammad
Speaker 4: because the manatees get very mad when you take away
Speaker 4: one of their idea balls.
Speaker 5: Yes. Yeah, So they take the ball out of the
Speaker 5: tank as an example, and it's a river dance ball,
Speaker 5: and they shows them that just stop swimming, that it's
Speaker 5: not going to work. They refuse to work because they're
Speaker 5: very ethical riders. Either everything gets parody or nothing. I
Speaker 5: was about to say, how how could they tell? I mean,
Speaker 5: it's not that they took the they didn't take the
Speaker 5: manatee of the Muhammad ball out. They just censored the
Speaker 5: joke on the show. I'm wondering if I'm wonder if
Speaker 5: they've got screens where they're like y, so, how would
Speaker 5: they have known. Yeah, that's true. We got you burned
Speaker 5: you parking Stone. Yeah, because they would have, they didn't
Speaker 5: once the show's gone air, they don't know, or maybe
Speaker 5: they do wise wise animals. Yeah, okay that that actually
Speaker 5: is a pretty big plothole. You're right. Yeah, But they're
Speaker 5: the only mammals, because he tries to trick them with
Speaker 5: these terrorism stories, the only mammals that are completely unmoved
Speaker 5: by terrorist attracts. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Cop arrives to butt Shed and Carl's now trap days
Speaker 4: in a net, and he says, I know how to
Speaker 4: stop them from working. I'm gonna sneak in whiles everyone's
Speaker 4: on their lunch break and take out one of their balls,
Speaker 4: so they get angry and stop working, and Kyle goes angry.
Speaker 4: He's like, good, God, good good anger.
Speaker 5: Good angry is showing there. That's emotional character development based
Speaker 5: on what's happening in the storyline, not at all like
Speaker 5: family guy. That's good.
Speaker 4: That's a good lie Deli And he leaves to remove
Speaker 4: the balls whist everyone's on their lunch break. The menatees
Speaker 4: have now stopped. No one can work out why, and
Speaker 4: Carten says, well, you asked for this, you know, you
Speaker 4: gave into them, you spoil them by caving into what
Speaker 4: they wanted. Now they think that they're in charge, which
Speaker 4: is their way of saying, you gave into the terrorists,
Speaker 4: and now they're going to think that they're in charge.
Speaker 4: Who says the president it's a take over again, and
Speaker 4: he says, you know what I'm going to I'm going
Speaker 4: to pull this episode and said, I am God. Cartman
Speaker 4: is now outside, he's singing his song. He's so proud
Speaker 4: of himself, and Kyle family and Fred.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Kyle mentions here that he's had to talk to Bart,
Speaker 4: so Bart let him out of the net and they
Speaker 4: take off their gloves here and this here, I think
Speaker 4: was just meant to be their parody of the Chicken
Speaker 4: and fight Peter yea, let this be our final battle
Speaker 4: just goes on forever. And I never got the Peter
Speaker 4: Griffin chicken on why that became such a big thing.
Speaker 4: I had friends who just thought it was the funniest
Speaker 4: fucking thing in the world, and I'm just like, I
Speaker 4: just don't.
Speaker 5: It's just this is for me. I don't really remember
Speaker 5: much about it. No one. It was just them just
Speaker 5: fighting and fighting and fighting and going, going and going
Speaker 5: and going and going and going, and then that's.
Speaker 4: What happens here. That just sort of yeah, slapping fighting forever.
Speaker 5: It just feels like.
Speaker 4: And the joke here is that they fight throughout the
Speaker 4: commercial break just before the commerial, but they go through
Speaker 4: the King of the Hill office and they mention those
Speaker 4: guys because they set the shout out and here doing
Speaker 4: guys work. Cartman says, he you know, you know, hitting
Speaker 4: in the balls, and he puts in Cartman in the headlocks,
Speaker 4: smacks him on the ass. Cartman says, look, I give up,
Speaker 4: but turns out he had his fingers crossed and he
Speaker 4: punches him again. And then Bart hits Cartman here. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think I see him seeing Bart. I don't recall
Speaker 4: much of him after this.
Speaker 5: I don't think that. Yeah, a couple of things I'm
Speaker 5: resolved in this episode now more you think about it
Speaker 5: the same. But I think they had a lot on
Speaker 5: their minds with this episode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe we do see Bart one more time. I'm
Speaker 4: not too sure, but hopefully we do.
Speaker 1: Mister President, we need your final approval.
Speaker 6: Code presidential approval called zero zero destruct.
Speaker 3: Mister television executive, stop, who are you listen to me?
Speaker 3: The little boy who convinced you to pull the episode
Speaker 3: is a bastard child. He only wants you to pull
Speaker 3: it because he knows it will be the end of Family.
Speaker 5: Guy forever, the end of Family Guy.
Speaker 1: Mister President, we need final authorization.
Speaker 3: Hold on, Julie, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Kid Pulling an.
Speaker 3: Episode because somebody is a finage starts a chain reaction.
Speaker 3: You'll have to pull more and more episodes until the
Speaker 3: show goes off here completely.
Speaker 1: It's what happened to Laverne and Shirley.
Speaker 6: You mean the Manatees aren't trying to run the network.
Speaker 3: What manatees?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, didn't I say you're given to these guys?
Speaker 5: Then the Catholics are going to be upset something, and
Speaker 5: so then some other group is going to be And eventually.
Speaker 4: Once one select group gets what they want, the chain
Speaker 4: reaction it could again. If one gets it, they all
Speaker 4: have to correct. Yeah, that's why Off and Split said
Speaker 4: the kids like, you know, because I can't let you
Speaker 4: have a Lolley, because if I'll let you have Lloyd,
Speaker 4: then every other fucking guiness have a LOLLI just.
Speaker 5: Just chill out. But I did love Carl. He threats.
Speaker 5: The whole thing going what manatees because he wasn't. Here's
Speaker 5: nobody's going on? What do you keep putting the manatees for? Think?
Speaker 5: Cartman arise And there is where he's like, I don't
Speaker 5: know who to listen to?
Speaker 4: The President, I don't. I'll help you pull that the gun,
Speaker 4: okay him? But Cartman has a gun. He is, okay,
Speaker 4: listen to you. He says he can't allow all The
Speaker 4: President says, I can't allow people to get hurt, especially me,
Speaker 4: as a result of this. And Kyle explains that, yes,
Speaker 4: some people might get hurt as a result of this,
Speaker 4: but you can't allow the terrorist to win. He goes,
Speaker 4: what would you call them? Just collateral damage? I guess
Speaker 4: I guess yeah, yeah, which sucks being so matter of fact.
Speaker 5: But it's just life, isn't it.
Speaker 4: It is and is where Cartman says, no gay speeches
Speaker 4: because that's what usually happens in South Park, and Kyl says,
Speaker 4: we a need. We need to all be okay with
Speaker 4: it or none of it. You can't just be selective.
Speaker 4: He says, do the right thing, do the right thing,
Speaker 4: and he said they're going to put it on uncensored,
Speaker 4: and Cartman then Cutman's guns.
Speaker 5: Again, really well directed in terms of its editor the
Speaker 5: level of energy that sort of builds up. I mean
Speaker 5: it feels like the kind of tension you'd see in
Speaker 5: like a Born movie or run It. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can imagine watching this for the first time on TV.
Speaker 4: It would have been very exciting. Finally get to say
Speaker 4: what's it going to be? Yeah, and Peter saying they
Speaker 4: tell me get the pink slip at work?
Speaker 5: Get bad? And then sorry, no Salmon help, no, she goes.
Speaker 5: She says, did you get pink slip at work? Do
Speaker 5: you think that it's bad?
Speaker 4: Remember that time we go Sam and helmet from Muhammad
Speaker 4: while was wearing It's like, okay, well there there are
Speaker 4: the balls, and then it cuts to a black screen
Speaker 4: with a text. In this shot, Muhammed hands a football helmet.
Speaker 4: Two family, two family guys, and Comedy Central has refused
Speaker 4: to broadcast an image of Mhammed on their network. So
Speaker 4: this was their ultimate fuck you to Comedy Central. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what we said. At the end of the episode
Speaker 4: one will they puss out? Yeah, they pussed out, and
Speaker 4: they having President Bush here saying well it wasn't bad
Speaker 4: at all, was it. But then the terrorists they start,
Speaker 4: they started an attack, starting to attack. Here's the retaliation to America,
Speaker 4: and it's a cartoon mocking Americans, crapping on each other. Look,
Speaker 4: I'm not married and I'm pregnant.
Speaker 5: I couldn't tell. You've got two guys initially they're both
Speaker 5: shitting on each other. Got the single pregnant woman. Then
Speaker 5: you've got a blonde guy. Was it Carson from Queer Eye?
Speaker 5: Was it? I can't. I wasn't. I didn't notice that. Yeah,
Speaker 5: could have been. It could have been just any blonde guy.
Speaker 5: But that looks like Carson Krestley from Queer Eye for
Speaker 5: the Straight Okay, yeah, but basically it was their way
Speaker 5: of getting back at them by mocking Americas and then
Speaker 5: with their George W. Bush shows up. Yeah, and it's like,
Speaker 5: guess what, I'm going to crap on all of you
Speaker 5: and then people are just shitting all over on another.
Speaker 5: I think you've just got a whole lot of American
Speaker 5: sort of iconography in there. Is Jesus in there as well. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we take that, we burned you. We're funnier than family guy,
Speaker 5: and that's the end. That's the end. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm wondering if any Americans were sort of looking at
Speaker 5: this going, oh, wow, well we're crapping. Oh god, I'm
Speaker 5: so offended. Oh it's time to wage war in the
Speaker 5: Middle East.
Speaker 4: Probably again, it's an interesting point. They bring up it,
Speaker 4: saying you were fine with us mocking every religion until now.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, but not every religion has made suicide bombers
Speaker 5: that recent history dictates so that some react more violently
Speaker 5: than us. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so tricky situation for the executives at TV Networks, tricky.
Speaker 5: Situation for us here at trying not to offend anybody,
Speaker 5: but this was this was a very very special episode
Speaker 5: of South Park. It was. Yeah. Look, I think in
Speaker 5: the whole evaluation, I mean, look, I'm judging it all
Speaker 5: as one thing. I think I prefer part one to
Speaker 5: part two.
Speaker 4: I think, being a Simpsons guy, I think I liked
Speaker 4: Bart in this. I like them both for different reasons.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not disliking part two, but I think I
Speaker 5: preferred part one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now I've gone through them both, I can see from
Speaker 4: your side. But also, I think this one here, it's
Speaker 4: not supposed to be viewed as two different parts, even
Speaker 4: though that's how it aired. I think it's supposed to
Speaker 4: be viewed as one entity. Correct, Yes, but overall, really fun,
Speaker 4: really fun episode. I think we've got some great discussion
Speaker 4: out of these, both these episodes. I think there's been
Speaker 4: some good apps of going down to South Pack. They're
Speaker 4: good episodes of South Park. So yeah, I think that's
Speaker 4: what Trey and Matt's purposes. It feels like by season
Speaker 4: ten is get people talking. Sure, it's not just like
Speaker 4: Family Guy for example. We're just putting out a show
Speaker 4: that's going to entertain people for between two minutes. Great, yeah,
Speaker 4: Simpsons very similar. Sometimes they raise issues special episodes, but
Speaker 4: it's mostly we're going to entertain you for twenty two minutes.
Speaker 4: South Parker feels like people are talking about this. We're
Speaker 4: going to use our medium to help get the message out.
Speaker 5: Having said that, see we can get a run down
Speaker 5: of other episodes that are in season ten. Okay, yes,
Speaker 5: we've got a million little fibers. I think we did
Speaker 5: do this. That's towy, right, Yeah, I don't think it's
Speaker 5: gonna okay, yeah, Look it's parroting the James Fray James
Speaker 5: Million Little Pieces book. Yeah, James Ray, don't get me
Speaker 5: started on that. May I go through them more here.
Speaker 5: I think we went through in the season nine recap,
Speaker 5: So it's got the warcraft one. Of course, everyone's to
Speaker 5: man bear Pig. When Cartman's mother we realize she cannot
Speaker 5: control her son anymore, she gets help from an expert
Speaker 5: dog wis br Yeah. So I think you've got some
Speaker 5: of these that are a little more shall we say, frivolous.
Speaker 5: So they're not necessarily going all in on the social
Speaker 5: commentary in season ten or anything like that. Maybe those
Speaker 5: wanted to kick the season off with the bank it's like, hey,
Speaker 5: we're thoughtful as well as funny. Who knows? Who knows?
Speaker 5: But this has been our review of Cartoon Wars Part two.
Speaker 5: Don't forget. You can hear a review of a million
Speaker 5: little fibers already. If you're a support of ours on patreos,
Speaker 5: you don't want to wait a couple of weeks. You
