Exactly! That's what I was saying to Otto, there's no way they should've based an entire episode on that. Although Oprah's backstab was nicely done, she....irritates me
Considering 30% of this episode was a still shot of Oprah's crotch, I found myself rarely laughing after Mingy and Gary's first appearance.
Also, while Towelie "no you're a towel" is a reasonably amusing once off guest star, his getting high every second scene, and 'you're a towl' -ing every second person he comes across, is ALSO not enough to base an entire episode on.
The positives: Mingy and Gary using the phone, and Towlies's "well you're a beaner towel" call.
The negatives: The rest of the entire episode. Worst episode ever.
Like I posted somewhere else, it seems Matt and Trey had the manatee's on loan from Seth Macfarlane this week
[edit] From the South Park Studios Production blog:
This week’s episode is an episode that was started at the beginning of the run. It was partially completed and then put on hold until after the resolution of the “Cartoon Wars”. However, the episode has gone through some major revisions and the story has taken a decidedly different turn in the past few days.
Ah that explains it then. Matt and Trey have said themselves that the weakest episodes are those that they spend ages working on, and the best are written the day before airing. Pity they couldn't take their own advice and scrap this one
Really nice.. To bad it is to be continued..
