As all of you enlighten folks out there know, South Park has recently returned for the second part of it's 15th season (somehow on Comedy Central you are able to go on a hiatus from June to October, and still return to the same season). And after the brillance that was the humancentipad, the Canadian "royal pudding" and the crack baby athletic association that highlighted season 15 part un, it appears that season 15 part deux has met that very high precedent (even if it hasn't quite yet raised the stakes). That's because, after mixing the Matrix, the dutch oven, and the terrible yet most hilariously named disease "Ass Burgers" into a solid season 15, part deux premier...South Park has just pulled off one of the hysterical and racially-diverse in it's 218 episode run.
That's right South Park pulled off a racial hat trick this past Wednesday, which may even be a first for famed Mormon attackers Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Consider this. First, they made a white 9 year old (Butters) into a heroic symbol for Mexican nationalism. They incorporate the best Indian (aka Native American) story of all-time (The Last of the Mohicans) into a fictional US/Mexican border dispute. Then they somehow created a practical storyline where Mexican migrant workers attempted to sneak back onto the wrong side (yes I said wrong side...and meant it) despite the US Border Patrol's best efforts to KEEP them in America.
Now if Parker and Stone had somehow brought Canadians, the Dutch and women into this insulting/perplexing racial trifecta I would truly be in the awe. And that's the great thing about South Park. Just as they push the envelope farther than it's ever been...they came back later and take their insensitivity to a whole new level. They've been doing it now for 15 years...and, with the show running through at least 2013 I don't see it stopping anytime soon. South Park doesn't peak, it just keeps on marching on. As always in the mountains of Colorado...there's still more hilariousness to come.
Weekly Awards
Best of the Best
Comedy Jesus "I'll Die on a Cross to Make You Laugh" Superstar OTW: Butters, South Park
We all know Butters. Scratch that...we all knew Butters. But now that he is a bigger superstar in Mexico than a soccer star or ruthless drug dealer, and has sparked a mass migration back across the border, Butters has taken his game to a whole new hysterical level. And he takes home a well deserved superstar award.
John the Baptist "I'll Show Up and Dunk Your Head in a River" Cameo OTW: Jon Polito, It's Always Sunny
The best part about Jon Polito? He's been in over 100 movies, yet no one knows who the hell he is. The second best part about Jon Polito? He legitimately looks exactly how you'd imagined Danny Devito's brother would. Oh and he sports a killer toupay in some flashbacks scenes in this weeks Sunny episode. More than enough to win in a weak field.
Mary Magdalen "Promiscious Girl" OTW: Shadynasty, It's Always Sunny
A black chick who hooks up with Danny Devito, Jon Polito and a large black man in a 30 minute episode of TV? Welcome to the Shadynasty (not to be confused with shady-nasty) era on Sunny. Jeez, not even Mary Magadalen would pull that, because her pimp (which may or may not have been me, aka the Son of God) wouldn't allow that shit...at least not for the peanuts that FX was paying that black chick.
Quote OTW: "It Feels Pretty Good to Have a Bunch of Little Boys be Super Into Me"
-Anne Perkins, Parks and Recreation
If I were a little boy, I'd be super into Anne Perkins as well. Actually I was...because I'd already know that she'd existence and be pretty hot. And she was fishing in my visions back then too, it just wasn't in a lake...if you know what I mean. Yeah, I'm not sure what I mean there either. Hey-yo!!!
Comedy Jesus "Top Half Dozen Apostles" Power Rankings
1) Parks and Recreation, NBC-Once again to be the best...you gotta beat the best. And once again...no one did. Especially when you consider that Anne Perkins is luring little boys with mackerels, Andy Dwyer is claiming to have a vagina, Chris is pro-creating with Jerry's daughter, and Ben is walking around in a Batman costume. Sounds that some kind of fetish porn doesn't it? Well, I am God so...your thinking there just disgusts me.
2) South Park, Comedy Central-Read my intro and you'll see just how amazing this episode once. However, as I f'in wrote earlier, it was a Canadian, a Dutchman and a woman away from ripping the top spot from Parks and Recs lifeless hands. Yeah TV comedy is like biblical war, and if you ain't killing your enemies...you ain't tryin hard enough.
3) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, FX-Frank has a brother who does more blow than he does and smangs black chicks? Black guys get sent to prison for 6 years for being brutally beaten with a 2 by 4? Mac is still fat? What the hell is happening there in Eastern Pennsylvania fellas...and Dee?
4) Workaholics, Comedy Central-Ders is the sexiest Norwegian-American beast I've created since Babe Didrikson Zaharias so him becoming a male model makes sense to me...but that doesn't mean it still ain't funny as f.
5) Modern Family, ABC-Claire is running for city council? Phil is poisoning his own daughter? Guncle (gay uncle...not that there's anything wrong with that) Mitchell is taking down fake ID makers? Man today's families really do defy gender/sexual orientation roles don't they?
6) The League, FX-The League comes back after it's incredible season premier and celebrates some Jewish harvest festival. Look I don't want to make it seem like The League's ranking dropped due to some sort of grudge I have against the Jewish people (hey it's been almost 2,000 years...I'm over it), because that's not true. Sometimes you just drop, folks. The League knows that now.
Worst of the Worst
Community, NBC-Look it pains to throw this show into the shittiest, poop comedy of the week category, but hey...if the shoe fits. If I hear Abed say "I wonder what's happening in the other dimensions" one more time I'm gonna move the show to CBS and have it played after Cold Case (if that show even still exists) as punishment to the too cool for school cast. This week's episode wasn't funny. All you need to know.
The Judas "I'll Stab You in the Back" Comedy Traitor OTW: Sue Heck, The Middle
Look, The Middle is a perfectly fine show, which can be funny when Axel is running around in his underwear (wait...that come out wrong). But Sue is arguably the worst character on TV. I am not saying that women aren't funny...I think. But when an entire episode of your show revolves around an unattractive 15 year old trying out for a cheerleading squad in rural Indiana...you need to reevaluate things.
