I was crying. Especially when they tried to stop the Red Box bandits. Cartman's reaction to them and the clerk was hilarious. They've been writing this episode for more than 4 days, and you can see the difference. They need to stop that whole 6 days to air thing, as impressive as it is.

I can’t wait for this week’s episode. Cartoon comedy show South Park's latest target appears to be disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong.
In a teaser clip released by Comedy Central, an episode titled A Scause For Applause shows residents of the fictional American town standing in line to get their yellow wristbands removed.
While the clip for the episode, to be shown on October 31, does not refer to Armstrong by name, Comedy Central said in a statement that it deals with "the recent news of drug use by a beloved icon" leaving "the world feeling lost and betrayed".
Armstrong, who was stripped of his Tour de France titles and banned for life earlier this month for doping, used yellow wristbands to promote his charity Livestrong.
In the South Park episode the news has left the town enraged and upset as foul-mouthed Eric Cartman, one of the show's four lead children, declares: "I can't believe we all got duped."
School counsellor Mr Mackey sobs as his bracelet is removed, saying: "I don't know what to believe in anymore."
Armstrong, 41, who became a hero after battling cancer to dominate the world of professional cycling, has always denied taking performance enhancing drugs.
He was banned from the sport after 11 of his former team-mates testified against him and the United States Anti-Doping Agency published a report which alleged he had been involved in the "most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping program that sport has ever seen".
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are known for responding quickly to current affairs and taboo subjects for their comedy show, which has become a cult hit.
They previously landed in hot water after drawing the Muslim prophet Mohammed dressed in a bear costume in a 2006 episode.
Other targets have included golfer Tiger Woods and socialite Paris Hilton.
I love episodes were Cartman gets on his moral high horse against celebrities. Hopefully this is as good as the Tiger Woods episode. |

Underwhelming episode tbh. They're way too late on the wristband fad, they should have done it years ago, just like when they should have done the WWE parody back when wrestling was still at it's most popular. I liked the Dr. Seuss bits though, I guess.

When WWE was popular, Matt and Trey still had enough creativity to make original stories.
Having said that, I thought the episode was hilarious. Not an instant classic, but funny enough.
Edit: The wristband episode, not the WWE episode. "WTF" sucked.

I also found the WWE themed South Park episode disappointing.
I liked Cartman and the boys doing all the over the top soap opera storylines (“I’m not in love with you, I’m in love with abortions, don’t you understand?!”) and thinking that was all it took to be a wrestler. They didn’t make fun of the real wrestlers enough though. They should have done more with Vince McMahon.
And I always forget who Cena's valet in the episode is supposed to be when he's arguing with Edge and Lita. Is it supposed to be Maria? Mickie James? Just a generic female??

This episode is almost too much for me. It's not really funny, but it's mixing everything I love.

I agree that it wasn't really funny, but I thought it was a satisfactory season finale.

2 days!! It's been too long. Happy we get 10 new episodes in a row for the first time ever. If the first episode isn't a GTA parody I'll be very disappointed

I cried at every single Alec Baldwin joke. God I missed this show.

That's three great episodes in a row, what's their secret?

Has there ever been a better South Park season than season 8?
I've been rewatching it recently and almost every episode is brilliant.

Season 5 is my personal favourite, but 8 and 9 are definitely a close second and third.
I actually enjoyed every season from 5-10.
