That one-line "ripped from the headlines" scenario is funnier to you than Randy beating the native American man who loves him with a Columbus sceptre and orb?

Yes. I think the idea of Randy obsessing over pokemon go and getting in trouble for it is funnier than Randy obsessing over not getting caught for liking Columbus.

But obsessing over pokemon go and getting in trouble is something people in real life did (for about a week before everyone stopped playing it). Where's the joke? Do you just want to see Randy put in a police car again?

Classic Randy episodes have more depth than that.

I dunno, I think this season started out weak but I liked all of Sons a Witches, Doubling Down, and Moss Piglets a lot.

It would have been funny last year, but they were focused on the election. Doing a Pokemon Go episode now would just be really stupid cause only real shitheads played that poo poo after 30 days.

Classic Randy episodes have more depth than that.

classic Randy episodes take a thing that people do in real life, and have the surrealism of the setting combined with Randy's relative stupidity/stubbornness take it far beyond anything anyone has ever done in real life.

the classic Randy episode take on this would be "Randy gets addicted to Chinpokomon Go, finds out that the rarest Chinpokomon is in the Oval Office, attempts to break into the White House to catch pokemons"

i mean yeah if you want to ignore 95% of the episode in favor of assuming it hinges entirely on a throwaway joke that literally any other band could have been used for

Scott Tenorman must die is so timeless because it isn’t about anything. It’s literally just a story set entirely in the town and told with just characters that we know from said town, behaving normally.

These episodes are harder and harder to write the longer the show goes on, but there’s a reason they really seem to hold their impact down the road.

Scott Tenorman Must Die blew my mind so hard as a lad I think my brain made a sound as my mind was being blown.

"Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah I made you eat your parents" is loving perfect and will always be the high point of Cartman's antics.


Meijer had the new game for $35 tonight only. We needed some groceries and just walked through looking for something else and saw it so my fiance bought it for me. Gotta wait for Christmas to play it though.

I've been playing Phone Destroyer and it hasn't asked me for $$ yet but it's just a matter of time.

So, why have they done this? They did an anti-freemium episode and now have a freemium game. They don't need the $$.

Why would we need relationships we have gifts we can open now

But seriously it's normal to buy gifts and wait to open them. The only difference is sometimes you know what they are ahead of time.
