South Park - "Margaritaville" - Talkback [3/25]

[P-Rad]

A new episode of South Park airs tonight at 10 PM Eastern on Comedy Central. Tonight's episode is episode 184. Here is the synopsis:

 

[boybaguio]

This sounds rather "meh", unlike the first 2 episodes of the season.

 

[franfan123]

I guess this is Matt and Trey's episode on the financial crisis.

 

[Kunmui]

Sounds interesting, wonder if there will be any mention of the bailouts?

 

[Wanderer Man]

I'm wondering if they'll bring up the AIG scandal.

 

[Hell..]

M 'n T said to TV Guide that they were unsure they would be doing an episode about the economy, because "economics aren't funny." Maybe they found something now.

 

[(-:Twilight Fan!!!]

That's what I'm leaning towards as well: that this is going to be a "meh" episode.

 

[laurfranchieexo]

And here we go. A topical episode featuring Trey Pa...I mean Randy Marsh.

These are either really good or really, really bad.

 

[I F]

They took our jerbs!

 

[Beckii]

Dey Took Our Jerbs!

 

[My Auty =]]

That was really funny how Stan lost his money.....ANNNNDDDD IT'S GONE

Love Cartman's answer for the economic problems and Randy's finger pointing.

 

[twinkle moonlight]

Looks like a satire of the economy.

DEY TOOK OUR JERBS!!!

 

[tezza~82]

What is this, South Park becomes Rome?

 

[got the time]

another jesus episode

 

[nature walker]

Aaaand Kyle is economic Jesus.

 

[pemcorgilova]

Okay, now I know where this is going.

First act was okay, hope the next two are just as good.

 

[etepsnewo]

South Park's episode-long analogies are only funny when they can go lots of different places with it and the characters openly comment on it instead of just being pawns in the plot.

Fortunately, that's exactly what's happening here so far.

 

[noob_2_net]

Looks like Matt and Trey are in agreement with Obama as far as keeping the economy going, if Kyle's stance is any indication. We shall see how this plays out.

 

[Ashleigh S]

Something happens, it's all over the news, Randy over-reacts, everyone suffers, all the adults (over)act like idiots, Cartman blames the Jews, everyone preaches at you and "OMG" this is going to be even more dramatic.

I really dislike episodes like this. Feels like the same thing over and over. I'm just thankful the previous couple of episodes were so good.

 

[falling_rain]

That's why I turned off the episode after the first act: because I have a feeling that's going to be an outright stupid episode.
