Ooo, which ones? Was the Irish ballad being sung by Towelie from the game?

That’s a good point. To clarify, I didn’t mean that cultural appropriation is universally acceptable as long as the group in question has been screwed over—I was more talking about Steve’s specific situation. I updated the copy to (hopefully) better articulate myself. Thanks for reading and challenging me on that!
Sorry, meant to put an exclamation point after “clarifying,” not a question mark. Didn’t want you to think I was being sarcastic!
Completely agree! I think there’s a weird truth to that kind of humor that taps into our primordial instincts. Or maybe dicks and farts and shits are just funny.
Yeah, that’s what I figured. Thanks for clarifying? How did you like the episode?
Bruh.
Ah, that would make much more sense! I have to admit, I just rewatched and they still came off like chickens to me. I’m going to update the review to get everyone’s opinion!
Hahaha, just The Deerhunter with Jimbo and Ned in place of DeNiro and Walken.
I thought about Tenorman, but I felt like they already fully revisited his saga in “201” and the arcade game. But you’re right, “Scott Tenorman Must Die” might be the GOAT South Park ep for me.
This is a very good argument. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to pick up on Scuzzlebutt’s leg possibly being a more clever joke than I initially believed. And looking at the appendage closeup, it sorta resembles a young Sasha Mitchell even more so than Patrick Duffy.
Oh wow, thank you! That means the world. And yeah, it’s coming along slowly, but surely. The first one took forever to complete—not because Mae or I are studio perfectionists or something, but because we had to write and record it between a lot of other stuff in our lives. We actually wrote a song this year called… Read more
That sounds so fun! Years and years ago, the Siskel Film Center did a Jim Henson retrospective around the holidays and they showed Emmet Otter—Kermit intro and all! Like you said, seeing it on the big screen really was special. But hey, in theCOVID era, I’ll settle for the stream on Amazon Prime—also with Kermit,… Read more
Some of it, yeah. While a lot of the carols are in the public domain, the ones omitted from the special are all less than 100 years old, or at least they were at the time.
You’re right—the Muppets have a TON of good Christmas content. Y’all should check out The Christmas Toy, too. It’s lesser known, but is streaming on Prime right now. Between that, Emmet Otter, A Muppet Family Christmas, The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Great Santa Claus Switch, and that John Denver special, they’ve… Read more
Hahaha, this makes me very happy. It’s like an unspoken trademark of theirs that’s always given me great joy. Thanks so much for reading!
Screeners, baby!
