Line 161:
*** Judaism independently is a religion, a people, and a culture.
** Probably agnostic because the uninformed are more likely to think agnosticism is atheism than the other way around.
** In this [https://web.archive.org/web/20110704123840/http://punchlinemagazine.com/blog/2011/05/listen-to-trey-parker-and-matt-stones-book-of-mormon-interview-from-npr recent interview], Matt Stone states clearly he is a "religion-loving" atheist ("when I go through a hard time, I don't turn to a God"). You might have been mistaken with Trey Parker who [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CG6br0-VwE still is an agnostic]. Though there did appear to be a time where both were agnostics (I think an old Nightline interview indicated that Parker and Stone were surprised to be assumed atheists).
* I'm still scratching my head at the end of Pinewood Derby. I'm shutting off the [[Negative Continuity]] rule for this. First, why is it that aliens came down now instead of around the time of "Starvin Marvin In Space" when they got to hyperspeed or whatever it was. Second, they banned Earth from the Universe for some bullshit secret test? The aforementioned Starvin Marvin had four boys (one a known sociopathic racist jerk) go out of their way to bring an entire group of suffering people (the Ethiopians) to the planet Marklar, showing humans' capacity for good. And while my memory of the episode is fuzzy, Cartman had no reason for wanting to help, but went along anyway, proving there is good in him. Next, "Space Jail"? "Space Cops"? "Space Cash"? Seriously? These are the laziest aliens ever. Finally, "Space cash could be whatever amount you wanted it to be," is a screwed up system considering the differences in currency, thus meaning there isn't a standard.
** This troper, as a conservative/libertarian, thought the "Space Cash" was somewhat of a take that to the American Governemnt printing money like crazy. It also showed how ignorant the people were because at the end of the day, unless a currency in on the Gold Standard, the money we use only has value because we believe it has value, like how Mexico used the space cash to build Water parks even though the currency was worthless. The last part of the episode was basically economics 101.
Line 391:
** True, but they still have no money until then. Liane specifically said that they can't buy groceries for at least a month. Maybe it'll take that long to catch up again.
* Why doesn't [[Justin Bieber]] have beady eyes and a flapping mouth like all the other Canadians? Did Parker and Stone know about his nationality when they were making the ''Coon'' episodes?
** [[
*** I think it's because Canadian celebrities don't have them
*** How does that explain Celine Dion? My guess is that [[They Just Didn't Care]].
Line 409:
***** In Mysterion Arises, he states that he does remember all of his deaths, and has memory of seeing Heaven and Hell. As to whether or not he remembers any specifics of being there, or if he just remembers the concept that he was there has not been told.
* In HUMANCENTiPAD, is there any reason that the Apple guys needed to stick three people together to make a new iPad thing other than [[Rule of Funny]]?
** [[
*** It wasn't really "bashing," it was just making him the [[Designated Monkey]] of this particular episode.
** According to Steve Jobs, the HumancentiPad was so people could take their videos, music, and photos, and all their shit, and share it with other people, who could do the same with all their shit. It was just like the iPad, but could also walk and read.
Line 415:
* In "Die Hippie, Die", why did Cartman go to the trouble of inventing a giant drill to rip through the hippie crowd when he could have just used a helicopter or something?
** To rip on ''The Core.'' And also because it made it more exciting. [[Rule of Funny]] ''and'' [[Rule of Drama]].
* The penis sizes in TMI.. How does Kevin have a ''0.5'' and Kenny a 6 - ''9''? I don't even think the former is micropenis, and the latter seems too big for a nine year old.. Also, what was with the lesbian? Even if she was a female-to-male [[
** Actually, the boy's sizes range from Cartman's 1.2" to Justin Hall's 3". Kevin's is 2.2" and Kenny's is 2.0". Compare the rest of the sizes [https://web.archive.org/web/20120414015138/http://www.southparkstudios.com/fans/faq/387510 here].
** Yea. Either the board was wrong, or people couldn't read it right.
* Are the Gingers supposed to have souls or not?
Line 466:
* Something about the song 'Blame Canada' in [[The Movie]] bothers me. The songs' general message is that overzealous parenting groups will blame anything but their own failings as parents when their kids misbehave. Most of the things the parents think to blame on their kids' behavior - [[Captain Obvious|Canada]], [[New Media Are Evil|television]], [[Crapsack World|society]], [[Too Dumb to Live|matches, and fire]] - are fit that general mold. But grouped in with that is 'the doctors who allowed him [Kenny] to expire'. What bothers me is that it's completely reasonable to blame the doctors for what's happening in South Park in this case - ''they shoved a potato where Kenny's heart used to be and let him explode and die''. Say what you want about the other things, but blaming the doctors in that case sounds totally reasonable to me!
** Well, even a broken watch is correct once a day, so I guess even a mob of bigots may for once condemn someone for reason.
* If Kenny wanted people to remember his deaths, why doesn't he just video-record himself being killed and then when he gets resurrected, just show the tape to the others for proof! Then again would the video recording of the death still exist if he gets resurrected? Come to think of it in "Jared has Aides" there is a Kenny
** For the video one, how do we know the video tape won't explode due to the lovecraftian influences?
* If Kenny is poor then how can he afford Chimpokomon toys and a PSP?
Line 477:
** Cartman kinda lives on momentary whims and was mostly fueled on the belief that he was beating out Kyle on investigating. And other than when Kenny died for a season it was the only time he was likely gone long enough for Cartman to have to think about it.
* So, there's one episode of [[South Park]] that's against big corporations... But then there's another that supports them? What's with that?
** Wtahc this video, which says that South Park doesn't have any consistent ideology that the show follows. https://web.archive.org/web/20131004213108/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/4160-Out-of-the-Park
* Ok this just hit me right now but if Cartman can go berserk when being compared to Family Guy, then what would happen if he was compared to EVEN WORSE cartoons like Drawn Together or (dear god!) Canada's series "Kevin Spencer"? I mean Kevin is even more messed up than Cartman.
** "Cartoon Wars" was basically Matt and Trey whining about being compared to ''[[Family Guy]]'', so I can't see that happening. Anyways, [[Your Mileage May Vary|what's bad to someone might be good to someone else]].
Line 503:
** [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]
* If Scott Tenorman had a time machine in the new game "Tenorman's Revenge", then why didn't he just go back in time and prevent himself from selling his pubes to Cartman and thus the events in "Scott Tenorman must die" and "201" would never happen at all.
