Looking back on South Park's three part Game of Thrones parody, what are your thoughts on it?
Looking back on South Park's three part Game of Thrones parody, what are your thoughts on it?
hasn't aged well
Never understood why they tried to push the whole GRR is obsessed with dicks joke
This. There are so many tits in GOT, and for some reason they got hung up on the dicks? It's so weird.
Dicks are funny and boobs aren't
This post is just an excuse to talk about Game of Thrones isn't it
This, especially as a consolefag.
Yeah but there were much more things to make fun of when it comes to GRR style
You c an even go for the lowest hanging fruit and call out how the meal scenes are some of the most detailed in a book written by a fat man
Real talk, I can't see the appeal of game of thrones and never cared to watch it like my my friends did. What made it so popular? Just the fact that it was mature fantasy in a time where nothing else like that was on tv?
Whenever I hear the GoT theme I always still think "wieners, floppy wieners."
I never watched Game of Thrones so most of the jokes I never understood. I liked Anime Princess Kenny.
ooooooooonnnnnnnnneee weineer next to another weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiner
More like the South Park guys are that homophobic.
They couldve came up with better material if they used one of these golden lines.
The joke isn't that there's more wieners, it's that they're non-threatening floppy wieners.
>Just the fact that it was mature fantasy in a time where nothing else like that was on tv?
That, and the whole “who will betray who” thing and espionage it had going on. Also nudity and swearing.
It was the actually interesting political intrigue, how characters could get killed or seriously injured when they fucked up, and having many characters being a muddled shade of grey.
All of which disappeared by season 5.
it's literally just a soap opera (bullshit character arcs, outrageous events and betrayals) disguised as a fantasy show
never read the books. is that actually in there? if yes why did he feel the need to right in detail about someone having what im guessing is cholera.
Even then that sort of fell apart around season 6, and was dropped entirely in season 7
Really?? Fuck, I thought it was funny and I'm glad it was called out. I'm not used to see dicks in media. At all. HBO for some reason in the last decade or so has started to throw in full frontal male nudity in to everything. For like no fucking reason. No context, no real reasoning, just a scene with a character having his dick out. I think this started with True Blood. Then GoT, then West World. Like, yeah, it's fan service bullshit I guess, but it's always been a thing for women. Even then its just cringy as fuck, but to see them fan service a dick? Never thought I'd see that. It's just jarring to see them keep doing it. I guess dick pics are justified for some people after all.
I'm curious too.
Also the text makes it sound like she is still drinking and shitting
Was a decent ad for Stick of Truth
It hasn't aged well cause South Park is doing exactly what it used to mock others for doing: bad and reactionary humor.
South Park plots are not about the latest controversy or joke that happen past week. What are the new memes, the new big thing to mock.
Shit like that ages terribly cause they only make sense or are fun during the time they are viewed.
You think people will care about game of thrones parodies in the next 10 years? Do you think this South Park episodes will turn any heads in the next 10 years?
Old south park is still relevant and engaging cause it actually had a plot, a theme, a message.
Now, south park like many other "comedies" are just reactionary shows that are only relevant if connected with what is happening currently in the real world.
Remove that context for future generation who won't know or care about 2015 celebrities or shows, and your work will have no effect on anyone.
Dehydration can kill you when you got dysentery, assuming that’s what she had
but female ass and tits is okay and not to be questioned because you enjoy them!
>Old south park is still relevant and engaging cause it actually had a plot, a theme, a message.
What the fuck are you talking about? Who in 2019 gives a shit about Barbra Streisand? You're just shitting out your mouth?
So, a South Park episode.
except the same shows have double the female nudity you dumb incel
I think HBO's take on it is ripe for jokes about how it handled awkward sexposition, but I wouldn't put that on Martin.
The running joke presenting Black Friday shoppers as an encroaching horde of zombies while the staff maintaining the store looks on in encroaching horror still gets a pretty good laugh out of me.
No, the REAL social messages, like "fuck trannies (not literally)" and "global warming is a hoax".
They recanted the global warming message because reality can't be ignored anymore. They also love trannies now.
Yeah, no one cares about shows with extremely topical references years later.
I can only remember seeing a penis like 3 times in the entire series. I'm not sure what you're on about.
not especially funny and I don't watch game of throne so I don't care about the references.
The poster was being sarcastic and agreeing with you, dude.
Garden scenes were the only funny bits.
And then i take out MY wiener...
Do they show the vagina?
me thoughts: south park is gay
The princess parts were my favorite
It's cute to hear a little boy talk about dicks rather than boobs. I know that Butters is an ass man but he wouldn't be so provoked by a pair of tits.
Even just as a black friday joke.
It has really died down in recent years and no one goes to the mall anymore.
>Matt and Troy took the basedpill
Yes, we know, that's why the old South Park is still "relevant and engaging" and new South Park isn't.
Princess Kenny is kawaii.
It's the show. It goes out of its way to throw in male nudity and gay sex, even where there's none in the book.
It's in the book. Now I'm no literary genius or anything, but I'd guess it was there to show that she IS just a vulnerable human, even though she just conquered a couple of cities and is treated like a super saiyan ubermensch by everyone.
>dude fuck caring about stuff lmao
>lol you are a stupid nerd if you take a side
>im too SMART to care about politics rofl
>here is a hot take - both sides SUCK lmao what do you think about that?
>imagine having an actual opinion about anything
The one thing worse than a Yea Forumsmblr SJW and a /pol/-incel is a fence-sitting centrist do-nothing, and Matt and Trey are the fucking epitome of it.
South Park was always heavily vested in current trends
This opinion seems to be quite popular these days. I'm wondering if we've been watching the same show because pretty much every Butters episode has been about caring something and they have actually took side several times (like wanting to fuck kids is bad and gross, which is probably controversial thing to say these days).
It was better than Game of Thrones.
>gets raped
>becomes villain
I'd say it predicted the story of GoT pretty well
Are you trying to imply people care about animaniacs nowadays? Because they don't.
They will once it gets a reboot, just like how people suddenly cared about She-ra
>taking shots at everyone for the sake of comedy
>fencesitters!
Nigger, you dumb.
>goth kids chose the PS4 because it's black
>XBOX One is black also
felt like this was a Yea Forums episode than Yea Forums and Yea Forums
All the best boys were on the PS4 side because PS4 is the best
...yeah the ps4 is kinda neat
In the span of the entire fucking series, dicks were shown a absolute total of seven times.
I can't even begin to imagine being so triggered over something so infrequent they could be counted with your own damn fingers.
Even if that was true what sense does it make going after the book writer for it?
Why did user put the last thing in parenthesis?
They picked the ps4 because it was blacker. Not just black.
no but 90% of the plundered roast beef in Hollywood would cause viewers to change channels immediately
I really wanted to see more of that big fat lady who wanted games consoles for her boys.
its almost like theyre trying to be funny
Maybe I just don't remember the episodes and have forgotten any SUPER obvious references, but not having seen GoT, I didn't know this was a GoT parody.
Like, did they have the sword throne? I think that's all I'd recognize.
There should be a Black Friday sequel where they go to the mall and realize it is slowly dying.
I enjoyed em but never watched GoT. Good leadins to the game and its entertaining enough for a 3-parter. Unless you're retards that complain about anything like there isnt much to hate.
When Game of Thrones started out, there was a lot of chatter about how they used sex scenes/nude scenes for info-dumping backstory and plot points (like Littlefinger's backstory and Loras manipulating Renley to betray everyone and make his own play for the Iron Throne).
In particular, they pointed out how the show went out of it's way to show male nudity in the gay scenes. So South Park was making fun of that.
Only the ending hasn't aged well; it was another example of Parker and Stone fucking up and giving into media pressure. They picked X-Box One to win the console war when initial reports came out that it outsold PS4 that Black Friday, but while producing the episode it came out that X-Box only outsold the PS4 just barely and gamers at the time were more vocal about how the PS4 was better in terms of it having better game sales overall during this period.
It was shit. They made it about the new video game consoles when they knew precisely dick about them.
>slowly
There was with the Amazon episode, the mall becomes a place for mutant store clerks
The sound he makes as he helicopters his dick around
Apparently the episodes actually influenced GOT, there's a reason why scenes of walking through a garden while discussing betrayals suddenly became rare in the show
