South Park - "Insheeption" - Talkback [10/20]

I didn't think Inception was hard to understand or follow at all, they fully explain all the details in the movie itself (I'm not trying to be the type of fan that this ep took a jab at either, I just don't get why so many people were confused by the movie).

I loved the movie, and thought the jabs made at it in this ep were a hoot! Loved this episode too. Randy being all determined to save his son, and then losing himself in the dream was really funny, and I love all the people they managed to cram into to dream (like the pizza guy hooking himself up, and then later on you see him mumbling about anyone ordering a pizza).

I tend to like Stan centered episodes, and loved the last Mr Mackey centered ep I saw. This one did not disappoint.
 
I'm guessing this is when Matt and Trey grew up because they got a lot of the period objects correct. Yes, that is the 1970's Lite Brite theme that Mackey sings -- I have a recording of it from 1980 before they retired it.

Best of the 7 revealed so far. Mr. Mackey is rarely used like this, and Randy as a butterfly is one of his best out-there moments. I should have known sending Randy in there wasn't going to work before I saw it didn't.
 
Very funny episode. The inclusion of Woodsy the Owl made me feel old, but I laughed my ass off when he gave Mr. Mackie a hoot. LOL, I'm a terrible person.

Although I still don't get what was so confusing about "Inception." I thought it was a very simple and straight forward movie. What exactly has people confused?
 
As a big fan of Inception, I loved this episode.

I had a feeling it was going to be child molestation from the beginning for Mackey but it didn't make it any less creepy.

"I'm gonna go find me some butterfly poontang" :D
 
I suppose I would have found this funny if I'd seen the movie. As it is, it just felt like more self-indulgent cheap-shot jokes from to people who've come to specialize in it.
 
While I agree it was pretty straight-forward, it was very fast moving and threw quite a lot of fictional information at you that would be hard for the average viewer to keep up with. Not like subtle symbolism or stuff that you'd have to think about or interpret, but still a large volume of info that went by very quickly.

But I don't think it was so much making fun of Inception being confusing, as much as it was making fun of people who think they're cool/smart/special because they liked a movie that was complex and hard to follow.
 
Somehow, I knew they'd take a stab at Inception this season - a big flashy movie with a confusing plot and a million fans who insist "you just don't get it" is tailor-made for Trey and Matt to lampoon. The fact that they also worked in parodies of "Hoarders" and A Nightmare on Elm Street and tied them all together so seamlessly just makes it all the more genius.

I like that, for once, Stan isn't the Only Sane Man in this episode, but actually does have a hoarding problem. Meanwhile, Sharon gets to be the one who points out the lack of logic in everything. I guess we know which parent Stan gets it from.

Lots of laugh-out-loud moments in this episode, from the big (Mr. Mackey exploding at Stan for touching a milk carton, Freddy Krueger with a wife and kids, etc.) to the small (Butters' "I'm like a mailman!", the pizza guy, etc.). Definitely a highlight of the season.
 
Soooo wait....they didn't even see the movie so they just ripped off someone else's parody? And actually apologized for it? That's pretty sad.

The I found this in the comments section, which is so true someone else reposted it three times in a row...
 
That's what I got after reading the article and watching the CollegeHumor video. They basically plagiarized a parody, that's low, at least they manned up to it. You thought they would have watched the movie like they did back when they did the 300 parody.
 
Wait what? You're defending them ripping off someone else's parody because they couldn't be bothered to see the film? How does them copying someone else's parody and calling it an episode add to the stupidity of the movie? You should see something before you parody it so you at least know what your subject matter is. If you can't do that, don't make the episode.
 
Yes, like that. But to be honest, was it obvious they didn't see the movie like with those two?

@DarthGonzo

I did say it was wrong to not see something you are parodying. They should have still seen the movie.
 
No. But it's still pretty sad that this is what they stooped to. Is being topical and trashing current pop culture so important that you have to rip off someone else's parody in order to do so?
 
And Family Guy throws it's 100 jokes at the wall and doesn't care if any of them stick.....because it used to be funny TOO but isn't anymore as well, so none of it's jokes matter anyway. :p
 
I think this episode was making fun of fans that believed the movie was "overcomplicated and cool", even though the plot was very easy to follow if you pay attention. Not necessarily the movie itself.
