Animation Damnation - South Park
Added 2023-10-13 10:00:05 +0000 UTCOn this episode of our cartoon chat show, Animation Damnation, we're talking about the totally fun Halloween-themed South Park episode, "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery"!
Originally airing October 27th, 1999, this episode has Cartman getting psyched for Christmas before Halloween even happens, Korn performing a fantastic Scooby-Doo parody, Kenny dressing up as ED-209 for Halloween, and the boys digging up Kyle's dead grandmother in order to own the fifth-graders!

South Parks first 2 Trump episodes in 2025 are literally just a retelling of eventsπ. They got a fat contract

2025-08-10 14:35:19 +0000 UTCIβm much the same as you are in this regard. I still watch it, if someone tells me it sucks now, I go βyou are correct sirβ and I go home and watch it happily. There are things I like that I feel the need to defend but this ainβt that. I like this cause I always have and thatβs it. Itβs a little slice of continuity in my otherwise constantly changing life.

2023-11-05 16:18:21 +0000 UTCI think they reference that in the 6 Days to Air doc as a big turning point for them because they got a lot of news coverage for putting that episode out like the same week the story broke.

2023-10-16 22:21:16 +0000 UTCAlso, I don't remember much about 'Team America: World Police', but the 'America, Fuck Yeah' theme song was a pretty damn spot on and hilarious song about post 9/11 America.

2023-10-14 01:24:25 +0000 UTCWeirdly, I remember the first South Park ep where I noticed they were going 'current event'. It was pre 9/11, it was season 3 or 4 where I noticed they had completely changed what had aired in previews to comment on Elian Gonzalez, this Cuban refugee kid whose parents were fighting for his custody, and it was all over TV.

2023-10-14 01:22:28 +0000 UTCI'm one of those few people who has watched the show since the beginning, and still watches. I know it's nowhere near as good as it used to be, but I still always go back to it. Also, really looking forward to the Limp Bizcast!

2023-10-13 19:48:49 +0000 UTCMan, Andrew and Eric's pallbearer stories reminded me of my cousin's funeral, may he rest in peace. But, goddamn, his parents picked the most elaborate, ornate, heavy coffin and I felt bad for the people carrying it. Made me glad my parents chose cremation and cemented that some sort of non-burial is right for my remains.

2023-10-13 17:34:15 +0000 UTCA Million Little Fibers was the last episode I watched from SP. I was high on shrooms and by the time I got to Oprahβs vagina I was vomiting my brains out. Needless to say it was a good time.

2023-10-13 16:59:08 +0000 UTCI stuck with South Park all the way to 2016, way longer than any sane person probably should. My favorite episode is, and forever shall be, "Towelie." It's stupid but the right kind of stupid. As far as ending the show goes, fuck it. Keep it on for another 30 years, for all I care. It's not like I'm going to be watching it.

2023-10-13 15:35:45 +0000 UTCI am all for the eventual "Limp Bizkast" but also trepidatious that it will unearth long-buried memories from my freshman year of college. :)

2023-10-13 14:46:00 +0000 UTCEven before 9/11, South Park had episodes ripped from the headlines - like the one where Mr. Garrison's kindergarten class conducts a recount of their presidential election, an obvious nod to Bush v. Gore. I remember the takeaway from that episode being that recounts are for certain sore losers who just can't bring themselves to admit defeat, a take that aged so poorly in hindsight.

2023-10-13 13:26:56 +0000 UTCKids discovering South Park and the Simpsons now is kind of like me growing up seeing the last few seasons of the Johnny Carson Tonight Show. Except Carson knew when time was up.

2023-10-13 13:26:06 +0000 UTCTwo landmark episodes in one week: the 700th episode on the main feed and this one: the 1300th overall release

2023-10-13 12:33:31 +0000 UTCWell guys, uh, heh, there is an episode about the n word. Arguably one of the most famous episodes. :P

2023-10-13 11:14:06 +0000 UTCit's kinda crazy to think that South Park is some people's simpsons...that it's been on as long as they've been alive.
