On this week's episode, during lunch, Cartman goes on about how female recording artists don't sing about love and relationships anymore, just their vaginas. No one is listening, and Butters sits down with a black eye because he was beaten up for his lunch money again. The boys try to get him to talk about it, but he won't. Everyone suggests he talk to his Grandmother about his problems since she is visiting.
I like to imagine the writing room, and after watching the Matt and Trey doc "6 Days to Air" that's not too difficult. There's a certain atmosphere that is associated with a hilarious episode. It's the same feeling I get when working hard and fast on a project, where I know all my gears were spinning and my energy was at 100%... Humor is a hard thing to define, but we know it when we experience it. And was certainly prominent in this week's South Park.
A new meme emerges in South Park called Faith Hilling, which involves taking a photo of someone pulling their shirt out to resemble breasts. The boys perform the prank on stage at a 2012 Colorado Republican Presidential Debate. Afterwards, the entire fourth grade class has to take a safety education class about the dangers of memeing.
Grampa Marvin Marsh gives Stan a Bolo Tie that cost him $6,000 from the J&G Shopping Network. Stan wears it to school and immediately gets shit from Cartman. He decides to sell the tie to a Cash For Gold store, but only receives an offer for $15 and the next store offers him less. He tries trading in to a Taco Bell but is told it's only worth a 6-layer burrito. The boys argue that Taco Bell doesn't even make a 6-layer burrito, so the cashier ups the offer to a 7-layer burrito.
Rumors fired around the net yesterday as a faux run time was announced for the rough cut of The Dark Knight Rises. MTV reported that Warner Bros. execs had received a private screening of the pic, and that it was 4 hours long.
Clyde Donovan apparently has a habit of leaving the toilet seat up at home. His mother, Betsy, unabashedly yells at him in front of his friends and even barges into his class one day over it. Cartman finds this hilarious and tells everyone. But humor soon turns to tragedy as Clyde forgets one last fatal time and his mother falls into the toilet, stuck.
