Nobody in the show has an actual preference for games, they just hype up whatever is the current trending game/console. The only good video game episode was the Okama Game Sphere episode.
i like the wow episode but i don't love it like most people I do like that its based on like the 2 weeks matt and trey played the game before they got the inspiration or whatever.
alliance only because they probably picked ally and never met a horde
knew pvp exist but didnt quite know how the system works
only low level zones like elywnn forest and westfall
a frostmorne ripoff because im sure they looked up warcraft lore and came across a pic of frostmorne
I heard that the people on SP played and loved the horde and wanted to use horde races but blizz begged them and gave them a pile of money to do alliance instead.
>only low level zones like elywnn forest and westfall
they were in hillsbrad near dalaran when butters showed up looking like cartman and they had the big fight with everyone in arathi
I only liked it because of it building to Stick of Truth, which is saddening realizing the show got (even) worse and the games are the best thing the series has put out in the last decade.
isnt that the episode when they say the Xbox won or something? Looking back made me laugh for how wrong and misinformed they were in the perspective of the vidya game industry
I hated this triology because watching it live as it aired it was fuckin obvious how hard they were shilling for the xbone. Every other commercial was for the Xbox and even within the context of the episode the best “pro” they could muster for the PS4 was “the controller is kind of cool I guess” meanwhile they went into great detail about every xbone feature
It was a clear marketing strategy, trying to portray to general audiences that both consoles were on equal grounds, Bing Bong Theory show also had a "console indecision" episode about the bazinga man talking about the xbox one specs. Funny enough, exclusives are never discussed.
I'm pretty sure everyone in South Park is portrayed as having a PS4 now
The funniest in shit the Big Bang Theory is that the characters are aways portrayed as playing FPS and MMORPGs in their laptops without mouses
Also, everytime they speak about hacking or fixing tech by themselves they are obligated to speak about "but we don't mess with Applecare, it's just too good!"
Oh! And there was also the episode where they were invited to early screenings of the best movie of the year ( suicide squad)

TBBT pisses me off so god damn much and the memes are fucking true. They did a world of warcraft joke and despite the reference being fucking entry level they still managed to fuck it.
I wouldn't really praise their prediction powers when it comes to the episode where they didn't understand Pokémon and called it a fad, considering that it's still going strong 30 years later.
Chinpokomon hit so close to home. What happened to Kyle was my exact experience. There were these two kids at school into Pokemon, so I get Pokemon Red for my birthday. Then it's not good enough, I need to watch the anime now, then collect the fucking cards.
more like it was funny how off the mark they were about it being a fad with no staying power, in fact they were wrong about ps4 vs xbox too and were ultra late to the party when airing the minecraft episode.
I don't think anyone could predict Pokemon would still be relevant in 2023. Those type of things don't last.
And to be fair, Pokemon shouldn't be relevant in 2023, it hasn't been good for a long long time.

A mom died trying to get her kids a free Wii. I think Cartman would find that rad. Only to realize the console blows. If Matt and Trey understood gaming, this would've caused Cartman to become a PC Chad.
There hasn't been a good console since the PS2. Every single one I've bought, I've had massive buyer's remorse. I'm never buying one again. >dude but how will you play the latest normalfag garbage?
He's also an apple fanboy if that one episode is to be believed, as he states that "anything but Apple is stupid" and in the Black Friday trilogy he was the leader of the Xbox faction, so it would lead people to believe he hates Sony. So he's an Xbox and Apple fanboy.
That was consoomer cartman who just wants new thing. He wasn’t really an Apple fanboy either he just didn’t want to be seen with a less hip device, but was ultimately willing to when his mother took him home with nothing.
South Park exists in a floating timeline, Cartman isn't an anything, he wants whatever current popular trend is. PSP, PS4, Xbox, Wii, Pokemon, iPad, Warcraft, RDR2, Star Wars Fallen Order, Guitar Hero. There's many such cases.

Can’t remember offhand but in the Princess Kenny episode I’m pretty sure the main kid from FLCL is in the background. Maybe not “obscure” but definitely moreso than the cheap DBZ/Speed Racer references

When did you stop watching South Park Ganker?
last season i watched was season 19
for reference the season premier of seaosn 20 was that member berries epsiode and I didnt watch that or anything after
Are you literally underage? Melee was the best selling GC game and Brawl had a massive hype cycle, and Smash still a relevant franchise. Kinect Adventures was a pack-in for a joke add-on that only casuals played and no one remembers.

No, it was about Smash being niche, which it isn't by any stretch of the imagination. No one remotely gives a shit about Kinect Adventures. No one acknowledges it, it gets no threads here, and there's no zoomer nostalgia for it like what Brawl gets. It was a bundled game for a fad add-on. It's the definition of a memoryholed game. I bet if you asked the average person to list some best sellers for the 360, nobody would mention that literal bargain bin Kinect shovelware. >Wii >bundled smash game

Yes, you're a complete retard who should go back to twitter. And to keep it on topic, Smash is the kind of game Cartman would want a Wii for, since he played the Game Sphere and was into Chinpokomon.
People weren’t hyped for brawl on the RELEASE you illiterate cunt. It was all about twilight Princess and Wii sports. Fuck excite truck and even red steel had more buzz >newnagger fetus
I was 16 when the Wii came out and was playing trauma center on it while you were probably sucking your dads nips
>on the RELEASE
No, they were hyped when it got announced. Many people bought a Wii early in anticipation of it, especially because of the console's supply issues. Sorry Alzheimer's hit you early, braindead moron.

No, because PlayStation doesn’t have games. A lot of people bought the wii to wait for Brawl and other titles that everyone knew were coming out.
For a lot of people, the Wii was just a Smash machine.

Brawl was revealed in 2006 you fucking tard. Is it Alien to you that people buy consoles for something that's eventually going to come out for it? That's like calling a Pokemon fan retarded for buying a DS in 2004 two years before Diamond and Pearl knowing damn well a Pokemon game was coming out for it eventually.

>Newfag seriously doesn't know about Brawl Pre-Release hype.
Brawl was a major reason for the Wii's interest and Success, the reveal of Snake in the E3 06 Trailer back when bringing in third parties was a novelty literally fueled a great deal of interest in the Wii launch which also lead to Japan Time here when they started revealing more characters. Not like this was exclive to nintendo either, Halo 3 had people buying 360's well before launch and PS3 had Nogames.
It didn't need any
Wii Sports was blowing peoples minds and had Wiis flying off the shelf. People who never though of buying a video game console before were lining up for a Wii.
It was the turning point where Nintendo stopped competing with the regular video game market and became their own thing.
I remember trying to convince myself that Excitetruck, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Wii Sports would satisfy me...
Then I went back to MGS2 and 3, KH2, Godhand and Devil May Cry 3 on my PS2 lmao. Owning a Wii was fucking suffering, though it's kind of hilarious how GC/Wii babbies (kids who grew up with the thing) will try to convince you it's gimmicky library was strong lmao.
There are games on the GC and Wii that are genuinely great games (not many, but the good ones are phenomenal.)
For example, F-Zero GX. Genuinely one of, if not the best, futuristic racing games ever created. Granted not many people bought or owned it.
Oh absolutely man, I completely agree. I feel Nintendo blew their load early though - most of those fantastic GC games came out at the very beginning, with a few great titles scattered around and Wii is similar. Problem is that you were left waiting years or months apart before anything else that great came out. It was torture and there was wayyy more shovelware than good stuff. People will argue the same for PS2, but the quantity of good games was way bigger and way more diverse.
>Then I went back to MGS2 and 3, KH2, Godhand and Devil May Cry 3 on my PS2 lmao
Because that games have complex move-sets that only works if you have two hands in a traditional controller. The Wiimote is a pointing device for one hand, and the other hand cant use the buttons.
Nah you're someone who was amused by gimmicks. It had a few incredibly solid games, but to think that can maintain it's lifespan is dumb. You have about 1 or 2 games max per genre that were done well, while SNES/PS1/PS2 utterly mogged it on every front. Humble up - your Boom Blox, No More Heroes, etc. don't add up to much. For a preteen who grew up with SNES upwards, it was fucking excruciating waiting for good, solid, substantial games on that thing.

I feel like SP is the only western cartoon to have episodes be about video games that ever made me laugh. Must be because Matt and Trey actually play video games and used to be funny, every video game reference in other cartoons like Simpsons, KOTH or Futurama was just boomer shit like referncing the DK arcade and shit like FG and and R&M are just tryhard and unfunny when they reference video games.
I went back and watched from the beginning and this is where I stopped too. You're right, the whole fucking season became one long boring-ass episode and it became weirdly more tame.
right, that shit was truly fucking awful and boring. have every episode connected was a mistake, one so big they probably learned their lesson. I might try watching the show again some time, ill just skip season 20
I dropped in memberberries because they are the same boring "the old times" trope that every cartoon use since 2015. I remember Uncle Granpa pulled the same trope.

Cosigning
That season with the memberberries was awful. I kept tabs and finally gave up with the tegridy weed shit
the season before they introduced the retarded donald trump shit and then get btfo when Trump won and had to throw away the entire script of Trump losing
Googled episode name. Instantly remember episode and literally start laughing out loud. That was a great episode, I love Towelie. Perhaps that chart is some sort of meme
No, it was an April fools gag. The last episode of the first season ended in a "Who shot J.R." type cliffhanger (except it was the identity of Cartman's dad) and instead of airing the resolution, they aired that instead.
When Mr. Garrison was being referred to as "The President" and never done anything interesting with how degenerate Garrison was before he became a Trump parody. I feel like South Park itself died after Isaac Hayes passed away.
Almost none of it. Or at least never following it, the only bit of it I watched was when you cunts post clips and rips of it on dumbass sites like cytube and ustream during events
I really, really liked the Funnybot episode. His robotic singsong chanting of ~AWKWARD is classic bruteforce shitmemeing. Also, how he opens fire on sitcom audiences using gatling guns. It was incredible.
Funnybot is full of funny shit >German autism not being able to take a joke and program a death machine >Shitty unfunny black comedian that only gets by because of his race >Funnybot being hilarious because no boundary is sacred while also having commentary on the effect that comedy can have when that excuse is used
Honestly nowhere near the worst episode.
After watching it I decided to go back and watch the original tweek vs craig episode and it was so night and day difference in quality it made me realize how fucking bad South Park had gotten.
I stopped at the end of that arc when cartman tames cthulhu and kenny seeks his true death before getting stuffed by mintberry crunch
That was all the closure for the show I needed really
The episode where all the Christians, israelites, and Muslims got along because Cartman painted a cow. I thought the religion parts were funny, like how they take the 3 symbols of the religion and turn them into the Van Halen logo, but them spending half of the episode just saying the words "Yummy farts" over and over legitimately ruined it.
Yeah, same. I don’t get why people hate that episode, there are a few good bits that make me chuckle, like how Tolkien keeps giving money to that one comedian so he won’t leave
Around 2012 or something, but in terms of seasons I'd say I ditched it when you had to watch one episode to understand the other. Tegridy Farms was the final nail in the coffin.
their choices for voices were limited and they wanted to stay safe with the whole "black people should play black characters" and got some rando that was in Black Panther.
KATHLEEN KENNEDY GOOD!
DISNEY GOOD!
FENCE SITTING GOOD!
CARTMAN IS RETARDED AND A CHUD LIKE YOU!!!
BUT HE LEARNS TO NOT BLAME THE RETARDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BEING homosexualS!!!
BE LIKE CARTMAN AT THE END CHUD!!!!
Give me a quick rundown of this episode. I saw they shat on KK and Disney, but at the same time they made cartman be like the mouthpiece for people that complain too much about it?
The wii was quite literally the poor fags console who only had those gimmicky wii games bundled that both inflated the games it was selling and the consoles sold.
>Go to Toys 'R' Us on release day >"I'd like a Wii please." >Smug cashier: *Chuckles* "Yeah I bet you do" >I pull out my pre-order proof of purchase >Cashier stops smiling and hands me my Wii
High point of my 13 year old life at that point. That was probably the first time I got something on release.
>people saying there was hype for the wii
This was during peak dude bro era of gaming. The PS3 and 360 and all their brown n bloom shooters absolutely stole the spotlight.
The Wii was seen as a joke, a console for people whose parents unironically still had TV parental controls for their 12 year olds
Dude you were not fucking alive then. The Wii was THE Christmas gift of the season, everyone in the family including feeble old granny wanted to play gay ass Wii bowling. Locally, a woman killed herself holding her piss in for a chance to win a Wii from the radio station. Shit was a genuine normalfag fad hit. Every single home had one hooked up to the television that year. You’re dumb as fuck,
The wii was popular because normalfags hate Play/Xbox style controllers, I saw T-shirts with a picture of a Wiiimote to represent "gaming" as a friendly symbol for the Average Joe. However more recently, you might see Boomer comics criticize zoomers and his "gaming addiction" with a PS4 style controller
Youre thinking of the Wii U which was a complete flop.
The Wii was a massive hit in the UK. Literally every friend's household had one and I had one too. its the only time my sister and her friends and my mother ever played vidya
You had to be there. Wii hype was ridiculous. My step mom stayed overnight to get one. For a while, it was the only thing bringing our family together until everyone got bored of it except for me.
chad warden laid the blue prints for south park writers for cartman for the ps360 gen, shame they didn't take it, they could have made him be sad because no games and join team nintendo later aswell
I still wish they'd develop 3 more games with the remaining themes from the mobile game.
Fantasy - Stick of Truth
Superhero - Fractured But Whole
Adventure - plot about the boys playing Cowboys vs. Indians
Sci-Fi - Aliens, duh
Mystic - Bring back Satan and Jesus, could be the best opportunity to have Saddam back as a villain as well
>check a South park thread on Ganker a while ago >It's stuffed to the gills with actual unironic fujos

as soon as PC principal got added it was over >hey i learned something you gu- >entire town in unison: SHUT UP >everyone walks off screen
this is the exact moment it died
when was the wii launched? here it says november 16, 2006
Ganker archive goes back to around june 2006 so can go back and see for yourself how much hype there was for it or not on launch
was there even a console war for ps4/xbone like the wii/360/ps3? Felt like we were all just tired and there wasn't really anything to talk about. The only big thing I remember was Sony shitting on microsoft for the used game thing and online. But look how bad the turn tables turn-tabled there. The ps5/xbox was also very whatever. Nevertheless, the 7th-gen war was kino.
It kind of was magic the first time you used it, I remember it blowing my mind as a kid the first time I turned it on and played Wii Sports. It wore of after like an hour but it was still pretty amazing to the average person.
Cartman being a tendie doesn’t make any sense
He is literally you
oh i think it makes perfect sense

made sense since in vanilla the playerbase was like 80% alliance
That sword actually dropped from Naxx

No, it's a perfect WoW episode. There are fat children shitting themselves in Mythic+ right now.

Absolutely. Also, you have very large penis.

Cartman is just a consoomer but when they needed to poke fun at the console wars he was an xbro.
he always wanted a Sega Dreamcast in one episode
That was consoomer cartman who just wants new thing. He wasn’t really an Apple fanboy either he just didn’t want to be seen with a less hip device, but was ultimately willing to when his mother took him home with nothing.
He was preventing the town's economy from improving itself over Chinatown Wars, a $40 game.
Everyone wanted one.
I remember my Samsclub putting in stock about 20 of them and not even 5 minutes later they were all gone.
This was 2008 btw.
Everyone loved Wii, and the reason why is because it's KINO
He is not, that's why in the console war episode they were talking about xbox one vs ps4. The character is what it needs to be.
Matt and Trey are pretentious hacks that have never written anything good or funny.
South Park exists in a floating timeline, Cartman isn't an anything, he wants whatever current popular trend is. PSP, PS4, Xbox, Wii, Pokemon, iPad, Warcraft, RDR2, Star Wars Fallen Order, Guitar Hero. There's many such cases.

What games were even worth being hyped for at the time the episode aired?
Twilight Princess
Matt and Trey don't play video games, they just heard all the hype
they did the episode because they were hyped for the wii themselves
?si=BkoxphGxFMdJ8Wjj&t=2715
Trey plays a shit ton of video games. He pretends to be cool, but he's a turbo nerd who plays DnD and a bunch of RPGs, both table top and Vidya. He went on some autistic board game channel that gets like 10k views a video to sperg out about his favorite role playing games. https://www.youtube.com/live/zh9BxM6vBNI?si=jSnHlfl4rVfcjCfS
Matt openly admits he doesn't outside of big titles but Trey genuinely does love RPGs. He mentioned he played all three Mother titles.
Trey also minored in Japanese in college and fluently speaks Japanese and references obscure anime frequently
>references obscure anime
Like what? At most I remember references to Akira.
Can’t remember offhand but in the Princess Kenny episode I’m pretty sure the main kid from FLCL is in the background. Maybe not “obscure” but definitely moreso than the cheap DBZ/Speed Racer references
There's the whole Cartman and Cthulhu scene that is just My Neighbor Totoro.
Getter Robo as well in one episode.
robo wants an oreo
he also married a jap
And then cheated on her for some white woman and got divorced.
Bro people literally killed themselves for the chance to get a Wii.
>wee for a wii
did they get sued? i forgot
yeah they had to pay the lady's family like 9.7 million
16.5 millon apparently
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jennifer-stranges-family-awarded-165-million-in-wee-for-wii-contest-death/
holy shit what a windfall
imagine being set for life cause of this
last season i watched was season 19
for reference the season premier of seaosn 20 was that member berries epsiode and I didnt watch that or anything after
I'd honestly rather have my mom be alive than have 2-3 million dollars (whatever my cut would be)
>holy shit what a windfall
>imagine being set for life cause of this
Bummer that your fucking mom and wife are dead, I guess.
Twilight Princess, Wii Sports, and I guess Excite Trucks
Red Steel too before people knew it was piece of shit
The second one was good
Yeah, but it flopped because it had the name of the first and that drove people away.
Brawl wtf you guys retarded?
Smash shit is niche af
>sells 13 million copies
And kinect adventures sold 24 million. Are you gonna say that cheap camera pos isn't a niche for the 360? Cause it was
Are you literally underage? Melee was the best selling GC game and Brawl had a massive hype cycle, and Smash still a relevant franchise. Kinect Adventures was a pack-in for a joke add-on that only casuals played and no one remembers.
We're not talking about the GC here
We're talking about the Wii and it's bundled smash game doing only marginally better than a kinect game for the 360
No, it was about Smash being niche, which it isn't by any stretch of the imagination. No one remotely gives a shit about Kinect Adventures. No one acknowledges it, it gets no threads here, and there's no zoomer nostalgia for it like what Brawl gets. It was a bundled game for a fad add-on. It's the definition of a memoryholed game. I bet if you asked the average person to list some best sellers for the 360, nobody would mention that literal bargain bin Kinect shovelware.
>Wii
>bundled smash game
So you're both underage and retarded.
>goes from simple copies sold to
>muh threads muh acknowledgement muh b-bargain bin...
Yeah I accept your concession.
Yes, you're a complete retard who should go back to twitter. And to keep it on topic, Smash is the kind of game Cartman would want a Wii for, since he played the Game Sphere and was into Chinpokomon.
>Smash
>niche
Nigga, everyone fucking plays Smash. Even your mom probably knows about it.
brawl wasn’t out in 2006 when this episode aired you gay fucking retard
It was announced that year and originally scheduled for release in 2007. People were indeed hyped for it, you illiterate newnagger fetus.
People weren’t hyped for brawl on the RELEASE you illiterate cunt. It was all about twilight Princess and Wii sports. Fuck excite truck and even red steel had more buzz
>newnagger fetus
I was 16 when the Wii came out and was playing trauma center on it while you were probably sucking your dads nips
>on the RELEASE
No, they were hyped when it got announced. Many people bought a Wii early in anticipation of it, especially because of the console's supply issues. Sorry Alzheimer's hit you early, braindead moron.
Nobody was buying a Wii in 06/07 for brawl
I bought a wii solely for brawl and loved Japan time
You bought a console in 2006 for a game that didn’t release until 2008? You’re dumb. Did you also buy a ps3 for kingdom hearts?
No, because PlayStation doesn’t have games. A lot of people bought the wii to wait for Brawl and other titles that everyone knew were coming out.
For a lot of people, the Wii was just a Smash machine.
Same with the Switch, except Ultimate turned out to be hot garbage
>You bought a console in 2006 for a game that didn’t release until 2008?
Brawl was revealed in 2006 you fucking tard. Is it Alien to you that people buy consoles for something that's eventually going to come out for it? That's like calling a Pokemon fan retarded for buying a DS in 2004 two years before Diamond and Pearl knowing damn well a Pokemon game was coming out for it eventually. Idiot homosexual moron bitch. have a nice day
>Newfag seriously doesn't know about Brawl Pre-Release hype.
Brawl was a major reason for the Wii's interest and Success, the reveal of Snake in the E3 06 Trailer back when bringing in third parties was a novelty literally fueled a great deal of interest in the Wii launch which also lead to Japan Time here when they started revealing more characters. Not like this was exclive to nintendo either, Halo 3 had people buying 360's well before launch and PS3 had Nogames.
elebits
Best racing game I ever played
You even turned into a bug robot and had to shave the controller to run
Fuck you I liked it
What games did the wii even have on release?
excitetruck
I remember trying to convince myself that Excitetruck, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Wii Sports would satisfy me...
Then I went back to MGS2 and 3, KH2, Godhand and Devil May Cry 3 on my PS2 lmao. Owning a Wii was fucking suffering, though it's kind of hilarious how GC/Wii babbies (kids who grew up with the thing) will try to convince you it's gimmicky library was strong lmao.
There are games on the GC and Wii that are genuinely great games (not many, but the good ones are phenomenal.)
For example, F-Zero GX. Genuinely one of, if not the best, futuristic racing games ever created. Granted not many people bought or owned it.
Oh absolutely man, I completely agree. I feel Nintendo blew their load early though - most of those fantastic GC games came out at the very beginning, with a few great titles scattered around and Wii is similar. Problem is that you were left waiting years or months apart before anything else that great came out. It was torture and there was wayyy more shovelware than good stuff. People will argue the same for PS2, but the quantity of good games was way bigger and way more diverse.
>Then I went back to MGS2 and 3, KH2, Godhand and Devil May Cry 3 on my PS2 lmao
Because that games have complex move-sets that only works if you have two hands in a traditional controller. The Wiimote is a pointing device for one hand, and the other hand cant use the buttons.
I was in college when the Wii dropped, and I maintain that it has a very strong library. You're just a retarded zoomer.
Nah you're someone who was amused by gimmicks. It had a few incredibly solid games, but to think that can maintain it's lifespan is dumb. You have about 1 or 2 games max per genre that were done well, while SNES/PS1/PS2 utterly mogged it on every front. Humble up - your Boom Blox, No More Heroes, etc. don't add up to much. For a preteen who grew up with SNES upwards, it was fucking excruciating waiting for good, solid, substantial games on that thing.
It didn't need any
Wii Sports was blowing peoples minds and had Wiis flying off the shelf. People who never though of buying a video game console before were lining up for a Wii.
It was the turning point where Nintendo stopped competing with the regular video game market and became their own thing.
bingo. my boomer mother bought a Wii for the family for Christmas that year. no one played it after the new year tbqh
The hype around nintendo and a console with motion controls were something out of the future
you had to be there lil zoom
Except it's even more pathetic in retrospect if you were there.
Elaborate.
You went outside. Only fags do that.
there was a seaon 4 episode where they wanted money for a sega dreamcast
I miss when it was possible to be that enthusiastic about new stuff instead of dreading how much worse things are gonna get.
people went insane over the Wii
There was mad hype for the wii anon. It took me like two years before I could get one
I feel like SP is the only western cartoon to have episodes be about video games that ever made me laugh. Must be because Matt and Trey actually play video games and used to be funny, every video game reference in other cartoons like Simpsons, KOTH or Futurama was just boomer shit like referncing the DK arcade and shit like FG and and R&M are just tryhard and unfunny when they reference video games.
FG is same boomer shit as Simpsons/future/koth and R&M is made by the same leftist that hate video games but cry for censorship and propoganda
What's your favorite Chinpokomon? Mine is Shoe.
Yes zoomer, the Wii was the hottest shit in the market for like 3 years.
Is fractured but whole worth playing? I've heard is not as good of stick of truth and they changed the way the game works.
It's good, yeah
the wii's library is actually very good
When did you stop watching South Park Ganker?
Around 2006.
after chef was killed off
not because I liked him I just fell off around that time
right around imaginationland. didn't like the three part format, as streaming wasn't a thing yet and i missed part 3
the one about member berries i think. i believe it was season 20, the one that feels like a really long episode.
I went back and watched from the beginning and this is where I stopped too. You're right, the whole fucking season became one long boring-ass episode and it became weirdly more tame.
right, that shit was truly fucking awful and boring. have every episode connected was a mistake, one so big they probably learned their lesson. I might try watching the show again some time, ill just skip season 20
I dropped in memberberries because they are the same boring "the old times" trope that every cartoon use since 2015. I remember Uncle Granpa pulled the same trope.
Cosigning
That season with the memberberries was awful. I kept tabs and finally gave up with the tegridy weed shit
the season before they introduced the retarded donald trump shit and then get btfo when Trump won and had to throw away the entire script of Trump losing
I honestly thought a Million Little Fibers was funny. I didn't get the hate
Googled episode name. Instantly remember episode and literally start laughing out loud. That was a great episode, I love Towelie. Perhaps that chart is some sort of meme
It is literally the "DUDE WEED LMAO" episode.
Thats all the later seasons in general
Imaginationland.
After season 19 when they added PC principal.
I'm not big on the newer stuff but PC Principal in a vacuum is a great character.
>terrence and philip in not without my anus
FILTERED
wasnt it just a clip show
It was an entire episode about Terrance and Phillip, it was pretty much like watching an actual episode of their show.
No, it was an April fools gag. The last episode of the first season ended in a "Who shot J.R." type cliffhanger (except it was the identity of Cartman's dad) and instead of airing the resolution, they aired that instead.
the danish troll season
the poo that took a pee was good but then i kinda shifted in maturity there. some stuff is just so fuckin stupid that its funny
When Mr. Garrison was being referred to as "The President" and never done anything interesting with how degenerate Garrison was before he became a Trump parody. I feel like South Park itself died after Isaac Hayes passed away.
Almost none of it. Or at least never following it, the only bit of it I watched was when you cunts post clips and rips of it on dumbass sites like cytube and ustream during events
I really, really liked the Funnybot episode. His robotic singsong chanting of ~AWKWARD is classic bruteforce shitmemeing. Also, how he opens fire on sitcom audiences using gatling guns. It was incredible.
Funnybot is full of funny shit
>German autism not being able to take a joke and program a death machine
>Shitty unfunny black comedian that only gets by because of his race
>Funnybot being hilarious because no boundary is sacred while also having commentary on the effect that comedy can have when that excuse is used
Honestly nowhere near the worst episode.
The tweek vs craig yaoi episode.
After watching it I decided to go back and watch the original tweek vs craig episode and it was so night and day difference in quality it made me realize how fucking bad South Park had gotten.
Season 15. I really, really dislike Randy.
I stopped at the end of that arc when cartman tames cthulhu and kenny seeks his true death before getting stuffed by mintberry crunch
That was all the closure for the show I needed really
Tegridy Farms, Randy has never be this insufferable
The episode where all the Christians, israelites, and Muslims got along because Cartman painted a cow. I thought the religion parts were funny, like how they take the 3 symbols of the religion and turn them into the Van Halen logo, but them spending half of the episode just saying the words "Yummy farts" over and over legitimately ruined it.
Was the 2016 election season the one where they started making seasons have ongoing plots? If so that’s where I stopped.
Yeah that's when that ongoing plot shit started happening.
I haven't
People hate Funnybot? Not an amazing episode but there's probably 50 episodes that are worse
Also I never stopped watching, the show has ups and downs
Yeah, same. I don’t get why people hate that episode, there are a few good bits that make me chuckle, like how Tolkien keeps giving money to that one comedian so he won’t leave
I still watch it, panderverse was pretty funny
South Park fans are so fucking retarded. Not Without My Anus and Great Expectations are pinnacles of the series.
But Funnybot may be the least humorous episode of television ever made.
around season 16-20 is when i stopped and didnt bought the dvds
Around the season where they introduced PC Principal. South Park drastically changed for the worst once they adopted serialized plots.
this was around the exact time I dropped out too. I actually went back years later to watch these and it was...ok I guess
They were just too offensive with these.
Around 2012 or something, but in terms of seasons I'd say I ditched it when you had to watch one episode to understand the other. Tegridy Farms was the final nail in the coffin.
I like all three of the flop episodes.
I stopped when stan turned 10, all those episodes were shit
This was actually great
>n-no you watched it wrong! You’re not supposed to side with Cartman you chud!
Holy shit take me back, this is fucking horrendous
why's the black girls va so bad? doesn't even sound like a black girl.
their choices for voices were limited and they wanted to stay safe with the whole "black people should play black characters" and got some rando that was in Black Panther.
Well, they made a poor choice because she unironically sounds like a 12 year old boy.
It was actually pretty good
Never said it was bad, anon said whats the last one you stopped watching
According to every culture warrior youtuber, they haven't stopped watching that episode in their heads, so anon isn't trying hard enough.
KATHLEEN KENNEDY GOOD!
DISNEY GOOD!
FENCE SITTING GOOD!
CARTMAN IS RETARDED AND A CHUD LIKE YOU!!!
BUT HE LEARNS TO NOT BLAME THE RETARDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BEING homosexualS!!!
BE LIKE CARTMAN AT THE END CHUD!!!!
I hope Asian Kenny returns later, she's so fucking hot
Give me a quick rundown of this episode. I saw they shat on KK and Disney, but at the same time they made cartman be like the mouthpiece for people that complain too much about it?
why is cartman so thin in that picture?
Thing is I don't remember
Probably around the time they started to have overarching plots between all of the season's episodes
OH MY SCIENCE
I forget this came from South Park sometimes
i thought it was farnsworth in futurama?
Nah he actually believed in god in the old pre cancellation seasons.
Wii only surpassed xbox and ps3 sales cause it was cheaper, pretty meh cames, i bet i couldnt even play blocklords on that shit.
It has been almost 20 years son, Id still get a wii If I manage to find some today, also aint buying your game bitch
ffs rts are overrated
this
Yeah cool but Its a free game
that doesnt look like an rts to me
The wii was quite literally the poor fags console who only had those gimmicky wii games bundled that both inflated the games it was selling and the consoles sold.
Let's be realistic here, when the Nintendo Wii came out a lot of people thought it was revolutionary.
So did some people for the Ouya.
>Go to Toys 'R' Us on release day
>"I'd like a Wii please."
>Smug cashier: *Chuckles* "Yeah I bet you do"
>I pull out my pre-order proof of purchase
>Cashier stops smiling and hands me my Wii
High point of my 13 year old life at that point. That was probably the first time I got something on release.
South Park episodes age like milk. Yes the first seasons too.
That just makes it funnier in retrospect. It aged well.
When I got a Wii I didnt even play Wii Sports I just made Miis all fucking day
Of course you didn't play sports, you fat fuck.
Those episodes were pure soul.
Based
Kiddy games are so much more fun than serious mature moviegames
>people saying there was hype for the wii
This was during peak dude bro era of gaming. The PS3 and 360 and all their brown n bloom shooters absolutely stole the spotlight.
The Wii was seen as a joke, a console for people whose parents unironically still had TV parental controls for their 12 year olds
>dude bro
Those guys don't even play videogames
Zoom zoom
lol im zoomer and this was my first xbox game in 2006
Dude you were not fucking alive then. The Wii was THE Christmas gift of the season, everyone in the family including feeble old granny wanted to play gay ass Wii bowling. Locally, a woman killed herself holding her piss in for a chance to win a Wii from the radio station. Shit was a genuine normalfag fad hit. Every single home had one hooked up to the television that year. You’re dumb as fuck,
Keep repeating that one case you nintendork zoomer there's umpteen robberies and murders for ps3s and 360s
The wii was popular because normalfags hate Play/Xbox style controllers, I saw T-shirts with a picture of a Wiiimote to represent "gaming" as a friendly symbol for the Average Joe. However more recently, you might see Boomer comics criticize zoomers and his "gaming addiction" with a PS4 style controller
Youre thinking of the Wii U which was a complete flop.
The Wii was a massive hit in the UK. Literally every friend's household had one and I had one too. its the only time my sister and her friends and my mother ever played vidya
You're completely wrong. The Wii was the gaming equivalent of George Floyd. Everyone lost all sense of logic and were tripping over themselves for it.
I never understood it, even at the time. It's even crazier now when you look back and see how little legacy that thing has. Shit console.
You had to be there. Wii hype was ridiculous. My step mom stayed overnight to get one. For a while, it was the only thing bringing our family together until everyone got bored of it except for me.
chad warden laid the blue prints for south park writers for cartman for the ps360 gen, shame they didn't take it, they could have made him be sad because no games and join team nintendo later aswell
Heidi best girl.
>that episode where Cartman sold out Kyle for GTA Chinatown Wars
I still wish they'd develop 3 more games with the remaining themes from the mobile game.
Fantasy - Stick of Truth
Superhero - Fractured But Whole
Adventure - plot about the boys playing Cowboys vs. Indians
Sci-Fi - Aliens, duh
Mystic - Bring back Satan and Jesus, could be the best opportunity to have Saddam back as a villain as well
>you wouldn't, right?
one in each hand one in the mouth and one in the cock
one spare
South Park's soul died when they stopped doing completely superfluous but memorable live action segments.
ALABAMA MAN
GAY
>check a South park thread on Ganker a while ago
>It's stuffed to the gills with actual unironic fujos
It was a weird and terrifying experience like I walked into some kinda sideways world of what I usually expect in Ganker, never again do I dare attempt to go back
>loud house thread full of men being pedos
😐
>south park thread full of women being pedos
:O
It took me two decades to realize that the joke of Okama Game Sphere is that "okama" means gay.
Why do lefties hate south park so much?
>mfw watching this episode on my friends laptop camped outside of a bestbuy in early January 2008
>mfw playing twilight Princess and the burning crusade the next day
>I was 14 when this episode came out
>There are people who were born after this episode came out on Ganker right now
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Same
>you now remember when south park thought xbone would beat ps4
The Black Friday trilogy was such an obvious shill for xbox and it aged like milk. The ps4 ended up outselling the Xbone like what 5 to 1?
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft actually paid them.
as soon as PC principal got added it was over
>hey i learned something you gu-
>entire town in unison: SHUT UP
>everyone walks off screen
this is the exact moment it died
I think im the only one who thought the wii was shit and was only going to be casual waggle trash.
hey man that shit was hard to get at launch
when was the wii launched? here it says november 16, 2006
Ganker archive goes back to around june 2006 so can go back and see for yourself how much hype there was for it or not on launch
was there even a console war for ps4/xbone like the wii/360/ps3? Felt like we were all just tired and there wasn't really anything to talk about. The only big thing I remember was Sony shitting on microsoft for the used game thing and online. But look how bad the turn tables turn-tabled there. The ps5/xbox was also very whatever. Nevertheless, the 7th-gen war was kino.
remember when trey and matt would sit at like a fireplace at the beginning and end of the epsiode with a dog
weird times
Reminder that these retards planned an entire season + season finale thinking than Hillary clinton was going to win
Man what a horrible season
I completely skipped the seasons where electionshit and PC Principal took focus
Daily reminder that the show was already terrible by this point.
Only the Okama Gamesphere is worth this much hype.
>Ganker thread
quite literally not enough fujos, yumejos and gay sex
>cartman calls Kyle "the human israelite" in the coon and friends trilogy
When I first heard it I burst out laughing
You had to be there.
The hype was real and people really did think it was going to be magic
It kind of was magic the first time you used it, I remember it blowing my mind as a kid the first time I turned it on and played Wii Sports. It wore of after like an hour but it was still pretty amazing to the average person.
Its still cool now, there needs to be another wii
What’s your personal favourite episode?
Mine is the Whale Wars episode.
>Great job, son. Now the Japanese are normal, like us.
Little Crime Stoppers is one of my personal favorites.
