Espisode 2 was Ack ... ward

This was pretty bad. I usually rank episodes as top 50% or bottom 50% of all episodes. This was definitely bottom 50%. Laughed once and I don't remember at what.
 
Last night's episode was pretty lame, but the Tyler Perry thing was SPOT ON! Just look at the numbers, the man can't even TRY to do bad.

That dude is doing 2 movies a year at ~ $50mil each?!? Who is watching that crap? I have never seen a single one of his movies.

I'm trying not to be racist but there's no getting around the facts...

Are you black? Because that's the demographic these are going for. And apparently they love going to the movies enough to keep the guy making more and more garbage. I'm okay with it though, as it's pretty easy to not watch movies I know I won't like. Some people have a problem with that though.

I'm white....probably why I haven't seen any of his movies. Not trying to be racist here either, but those movies don't look good or funny AT ALL to me. Maybe I don't get the inside humor. But I like South Park 🙂 - Haven't watch in a while though.
 
I enjoyed the few bit parts where they made fun of the jews and tyler perry, but the rest was meh. Anything with jimmy/timmy is just bad now. At the very least they could have had timmy's band be his original bad from the earlier season.

I know. I don't understand it at all either. But if he's making this much money with these movies then a large enough group of moviegoers love this stuff. I can't pretend to understand it, but then again most people don't understand my taste in music...

Reminds be of when I was at a college dorm a while back and a standup comedy special was on BET. I couldn't even understand what the guy was saying, but all the black people watching it were dying laughing. I felt...strangely out of place.

The only black commedian I've understood was Bill Cosby. And even he sometimes lost me.
 
The only thing that scares me is that children will use this against their parents.

Even when I was 11, watching South Park when it first came out, I never thought to use it against my parents, but the chillins today, they just might.

They also might try chopping up someone's parents and putting them in chilli. I'm worreid about "chillins" today, no respect for their elders! 😱
 
Was there Doctor Who references in there? I wouldn't know.

2nd episode wasn't too good but not too bad. Again the first one was awful so anything would seem better in comparison. I guess they wanted to rip on Comedy Central's recent comedy awards, which is kind of silly, I see their point though. The award show wasn't too bad actually, plus Matt and Trey got an award at that show and accepted it on stage 😛 - And Louis C.K had one of the best acceptance speeches ever 🙂

Anywhoo, maybe they'll have a more interesting story next week.
 
I'm ashamed to say I fell asleep during the second episode. I'm going to go watch it again tonight to confirm how boring it was.
