LONDON, England (CNN) -- The cartoon series South Park has never been shy of courting controversy, but its latest episode has caused outrage by featuring...

How many time have I read that line in the past 9 years? Yeah, it's an offensive show. If you're an easily offended pussy, don't bloody watch it.

When are South Park critics going to get it? Trey and Matt's goal is to make fun of EVERYONE. NOBODY gets off the hook, deceased or otherwise!

Who cares? South Park cracks me up. It is not like jay lenno and other commedians dont make fun of people in the news???

it went prettymuch like this:
Satan is having a Halloween party, and all the dead residents of Hell are there in wacky costumes.
Someone runs up to Satan.
Guy: "Hey Satan, we got a little problem."
Satan: "What?"
Guy: "Somebody showed up in a Crocodile Hunter costume. It's really offending some of the other guests."
Satan: "Aw, Jeez." (He walks over to Steve Irwin with a beer and a stingray hanging out of his chest.)
Satan: "Hey, uh, hi, listen, dude. Y'know, The whole Crocodile Hunter thing? It's just a little soon, you know? I mean he just died a few weeks ago, and it's just not super cool. And you gotta leave."
Steve: "But it's me, Satan. Steve Irwin. I am the Crocodile Hunter."
Satan: "Oh. Oh, but then, dude, no costume. Sorry, you gotta go."
Steve: "Wait! I thought we were friends!" (escorted out)

it was funny frankly...although the stingray hanging out of his chest was a bit much.
They mocked the guy in previous episodes (i'm going to stick my thumb up this crocs bum hehehe) so it was only fitting that they had to portray him in some way for this one.

i find it even funnier though that their were the catholic priests with the naked little boys and no uproar on that...and hitler being the "can you hear me now" guy....and gacy, dahmer, and bundy playing the trhee stooges....i mean the episode was filled with things to get pissed about and people are only complaining about steve?

the whole episode was offensive! but funny.

heh the priest with the little boys on a leash was great. i was laughing the entire show heh.

heh Hitler as the "can you hear me now" guy was great and Satan dressed as a catholic school girl was a nice touch.

all in all it was a great episode.

They didn't outcry about the naked boys leashed to the priests? It wasn't even that bad or long of a scene. They don't even really make fun of Irwin, in my opinion.

The day South Park doesn't offend people and step on toes is the day it's off the air.

SP has sucked for a while now anyway.

I think it gets funnier every year...more situational and more of an emphasis on pop culture & politics FTW.

No kidding, children are molested by priests seemingly very day, but to lampoon people who will dress like Steve on Halloween is totally offensive.

Some people have some fvcked up priorities in life.

That was actually done in very well.

"Oh... Oh, but then dude, no costume. Sorry, you gotta go."

:laugh:

 

[ForumMaster]

no matter what context, it was tasteless and a disgusting thing to do.

I thought the episode was hilarious, but I was a little shocked at his portrayal in that episode. I think maybe they could have left that part out of it.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Don't people get the fact that they're even lampooning themselves by making fun of it "too soon".

"The whole crocodile hunter thing...it's just a little soon, ya know?". Again, nobody escapes South Park's satire, which is why I like them so much. ....and that it was totally hilarious. There is a reason it's on at like 10:30 or 11pm....at least it used to be.

yeah and more of the priest with the little boys on leash's. :disgust:


really. some peoples priories are screwed up. Ohh we must not make fun of someone that died! but we have no peroblem with child mollestation! heh

sheesh. i would think the uproar would be over the priest and not steve

 

[bsobel]

What, I can change the channel if I don't like it? I didn't realize I had a few hundred other broadcasts to choose from....

[latino666]

I think it was funny because they did it so soon. Not many cartoons can add recent events into their show only a few weeks after the incident.

 

[0roo0roo]

i didn't carebecause the eps sucked in general

 

[acole1]

I knew it was just a matter of time, but yes, probably too soon for most of us... but it should'nt be a shocker comming from those guys at SP.

I still get a good laugh out of SP, but it has become a bit more formulaic as of late.

I thought the episode was great:
People made fun of: those "sweet sixteen" shows on MTV - especially when Satan realizes that he's behaving worse than the spoiled brats on those shows

Priests who've abused children (although, logically, if there is a hell, that's probably what you'd see, so they really weren't making fun of the priests; just including the appropriate guest list.)

People who are planning on dressing as Steve Irwin for Halloween. I think Matt and Trey realized people are going to be dressed up as Steve Irwin next Tuesday - why not point out that it's tasteless? They weren't distasteful whatsoever to Steve's memory.


The only part I didn't like was the parody of the Three Stooges with Gacy, Bundy, and Dahmer.

I'm surprised people weren't upset that South Park had Steve Irwin wearing Crocodile Dundee's hat.

That's the part that got me steamed.

LMAO @ Hitler being the "Can you hear me now?" guy.
