South Park has distilled pop culture of me into something palatable. Now I distill it for you
FunnyBot
After last week’s brilliant Humancentipad; which effortlessly skewered the most popular company on Earth, many wondered, “who, or what, was in South Park’s sights next?”
The answer: The relatively inconsequential Comedy Awards with some Tyler Perry jabs jammed in.
So the subject matter wasn’t exactly hot-button. It’s often the more obscure episodes that prove the most notable.
My issue with Funnybot was an overall lack of the essential elements of a great South Park experience.
Some episodes will focus on the dissection of topical issues in America (i.e. last week’s) while others take a more plot-driven path of organic humor (The Coon series of last season)
In my eyes, Funnybot failed to accomplish either.
Maybe I missed the significance of a “comedy-is-getting-progressively-simpler-and we-need-to-leave-it-to-the-pros” moral, but to me, the micro-approach of Funnybot was something only Trey, Matt and a handful of writers could truly appreciate.
Also, I was expecting some great, late Osama inserts.
If that was accomplished through Obama’s presence at the episode’s conclusion, it seemed a little lame.
When we have grown to expect such a high level of up-to-date digs from Stone and Parker, episodes like Funnybot just simply aren’t that funny. Awkward!

ReplyDeleteyou missed the entire point of the episode. the episode was about tyler perry being a selfish fuck who doesn't allow other people in hollywood to have jobs.

In addition:
ReplyDeleteYou missed another major point of the episode. South Park telling comedy central (their network) to kiss their ass and how a comedy award show is retarded. Comedy central hosted the first annual comedy awards this year and awarded south park (its major money make)hmmmm. Proud of the creators following in the footsteps of charlie scheen and connan o brian, telling their networks to go fuck themselves. Bithces
