R&R South Park: "201"

[Tyler]

Will thw Gingers take control? Will Tom Cruise and the celebrities win? Will Mohammed finally be shown?

All may be uncovered in "201", soon to air on Comedy Central! Let's hope it's not a three-parter :/

R&R here!

[Dynamo]

Let's hope its not a prank.

[Property of Ned Flanders]

it's totally gotta be a prank...

[HappyPalooza]

Nothing but a load of masturbatory, self-referential, painfully obvious, crowd-pleasing, fanservice. And it's in two parts.

5/5

^yep

Sucked they had to bleep "Muhammad," but they managed to spin it to their advantage at the end in an amusing way. As soon as they said "Head Ginger" I blurted out "SCOTT TENORMAN." He was the first person to come to mind. Liked who Cartman's father was and the whole resolution. All and all, a very satisfying ending.

Also really liked Mitch Connor in blackface.

...and comedy central pussed out. again.

censoring every mention of mohammed's name? besides that, which left a bad taste in my mouth, the episode was great! i'm so happy it isn't a three-parter. i loved the return of scott tenorman, as HappyPalooza said, mitch connor in blackface was hilarious. jesus saying "tom cruise has semen on his back" and that laugh he did as he was telling seaman to do whatever he was gonna do before the concert was great as well. i also loved the ending.

4/5

The one way they could have made bleeping out Mohammed funny was, (which I was hoping would be what happened), after Tom Cruise had the "goo" injected in him, all instances of "Tom Cruise" being said would be bleeped out.

Sadly, that didn't happen. Oh well.

Part Two: 3/5. That bleeping at the end was annoying for so many reasons.

Altogether, 4/5.

thought the same exact thing, but I really loved this.

the first act was filled with more unbelievably fast-paced past references, wisely most of them haven't appeared on the show in a long while. (surprisingly kenny did not die)

this is a rare time were the two-parter felt like an actual full episode than two loosely-connected shows. I felt as if this was all planned from the beginning, which made everything so much more well-rounded and satisfying. the scott tenorman/denver broncos plot twist was brilliant, and the "lesson" at the end being censored sealed it. just a bunch of fun, and hey, it was hysterical as well.

all-in-all, fan-service at its finest.

5/5

edit: oh, and tom cruise on the moon. absolute genius capper.

[arii]

Not much to say other than solid, hysterical fan service the whole way through.

Awesome.

[Ryan]

the ending/censorship might not be as genius as we thought it was, from south park studios:

[Gatorgod]

Awesome episode, One for the ages! Scott Tenorman can now go off and plot evil revenge with Frank Grimes Jr. 5/5

My thoughts exactly. I was hoping Toms name would get bleeped to reflect the full Muhammad power he absorbed

That bleeping at the end was annoying for so many reasons.

I think that was kind of the point. Dont like the Bleeps?.. Who's fault is that? Comedy Centrals?, The Islamic Radicals? All of us for not taking a stand against them sooner? ...

[arii]

holy shit. I honestly thought the bleeping out of Mohammed's name was part of the joke... guess that explains why Tom Cruise's name wasn't bleeped out.

Canada always airs new South Park uncensored, so I guess I'll have to tune in to that Sunday night if nothing else develops beforehand.

[Ryan]

thinking about it, I still think the ending speeches were bleeped out by matt and trey. the message of gaining nothing through censorship that one can attain from it fits the overall theme of the episodes too well.

the Mohammed censoring was definitely CC, though.

[Kiyosuki]

I didn't see the truth of his dad coming at all I admit.

A tiny bit of a cop out but it could have been something really stupid. They're total service to the fans episodes these but I enjoyed them a lot. Too tired to say much more atm.

[Jayrayman]

fantastic, but i thought we would see terrance and phillip somewhere during the two episodes..oh well. 5/5

[Postmaster]

hmm maybe they'll find some way to 'leak' the original version.

But yeah that was a lot of fun, with some great plot twists, and the ending with Tom Cruise on the moon was hysterical, even though I wanted to see the marklar again.

[LuxFixxins]

no butters? odd.

[jordan]

No mention of The Killing Joke parody? That was amazing.

[Gatorgod]

We are still displeased! ..... JIHAD!!!!

[Redem]

Gotta love the killing joke reference (but I started to grow a bit weary of the constant reference) but so many beeps! but yea at the end it work

Kinda could see the Bronco/tennerman connection coming (although didn't see them coming together) and him complaining about being a ginger

still 4/5

[IM A BRICK]

I liked it, really annoying with the bleep's but for the first few minutes the closed captions read Mohammad, even though the audio was bleeped, but then after the first commercial break the closed captions just read [beep] to match the audio.
Loved Cartmans father's reveal very satisfying. 4/5
I guess next weeks is the ginger episode w/Cartman they have been teasing all season.

[Cash Kerouac]

I loved it. Yes, it was total fan-wankery, but it was all tied together perfectly and lots and lots of fun. The constant bleeping did get pretty tiresome, but it's a minor complaint in an otherwise superb bit of entertainment. Scott Tenorman as the mastermind was a great reveal, and while I was underwhelmed with the explanation of Cartman's father at first, tying it back to Tenorman was a satisfying twist. All the old call outs were great (I especially enjoyed the return of Mr. Hanky) and all-in-all it was a great ride.

5/5

[Sniper Squirrel]

really pissed off I missed the first showing because it's looks like they probably won't be re-airing it anytime soon

[D DEBBS]

Sorry, guys...I thought it suc-diddly-ucked.

[Alpha]

No mention of The Killing Joke parody? That was amazing.

That really made the episode for me. Too bad Scott didn't have a song.

Great episode, anyway.

[Gatorgod]

I like how Scott T. was presented like a super villian, with the whole gadget filled lair and jumping about with a cane like a riddling Batman badguy... Awesom-O!

[burnin']

obviously what matt and trey are trying to say is that violence is the only thing comedy central will cave too. so south park fans who want Muhammad shown are just gonna have to be more violent then those extremists. then comedy central will have to cave to them first.

[TriforceBun]

Really fun episode, just like last week's. All the throwbacks were enjoyable and mixed together into a nostalgic cocktail of creativity. Naturally, the highlight was the return of Scott Tenorman and his demented Chile Con Carnival recreation, but the rest of the episode still provided the laughs, from the Saigon opening to the fourth-wall breaking (more people DO care about Cartman's father than the fate of the town).

Poor Pip. Gone for ten years, then squished. I think he's the only kid in the show that's actually died (that's not Kenny).

About the censoring...I know everyone's up in arms about it, and it's pretty silly to even censor the WORD Mohammed (especially since they said it plenty of times in Cartoon Wars and episode 200), but I can still see where Comedy Central is coming from (particularly with the lame extremist threat from just last week). I mean, it's easy to say they wussed out, and it's pretty unlikely that someone will ACTUALLY harm Comedy Central or Parker and Stone...but if you were in the same situation, would you honestly bet your life on it? Stranger things that happened, and I can't really blame 'em for being on the safe side.

Even so, we could've done without the censoring of Mohammed's name. That was pretty pointless.

4.5/5 A-

Gator -- He was supposed to be The Joker from The Killing Joke. Read The Killing Joke and you'll see, they took the scene/set design/colors/poses right from the comic

I was trying to find the exact page online but couldn't

[Redem]

You know considering how reference-fill it is its amazing they didn't kill kenny
