Typical South park. Nothing is sacred and they have no boundaries.dingo said:This isnt right..........how sad for Steves family.

I missed it....You said you just watched it..What time was it on, cable tv?southcitymom said:I saw this episode last night. It's interesting because South Park even lampoons themselves with the Steve Irwin bit. Basically, Satan is having a big party and one of his minions tells him that someone's there dressed as The Crocodile Hunter and everyone is appalled.
Satan goes over to Steve and says all the things people are saying here - "Look buddy, it's too early for this - what about his family, etc...you're going to have to leave...that's inappropriate." Then the joke is that it is the real Steve Irwin and Satan makes him leave anyway because he's not wearing a costume.
I personally thought it was brilliant. I count myself a fan of South Park and a fan of Steve Irwin.
South Park is over-the-top all the time and constantly pushes the envelope. This is what I like about the show, so I can't really have it both ways - be mad when something they do pushes my buttons - they push everyone's buttons. That's the point. That's why I watch it.
It's not fair of me to laugh when they lampoon people and causes that I think are silly but then get angry when they lampoon people or causes I care about. They are equal opportunity and that's what makes it funny and fair.
Steve Irwin was also someone who was over-the-top and pushed the envelope and people's buttons. I think he would laugh at the episode.
We TIVOed it, so I don't know when it originally aired - we just got around to watching it last night...and yes, I think it was on cable. I'll be you could dowload it from YouTube.Pharlap said:I missed it....You said you just watched it..What time was it on, cable tv?
I'll give you my :twocents: later......
They also spoof themselves quite a bit. I suspect they have offended just about every member of society somehow. I personally think they are incredible satirists.2sisters said:Whether you like or hate them, I have a lot of respect for them. I mean, their show is basically a commentary about their veiws on society. They get paid a boatload of money just to basically be on an animated soapbox everyweek. They have caused controversy (the Tom Cruise episode, Issac hayes departure from the show) and they don't back down and although some of what they say is in poor taste I think they have had alot of great points on that show.
youtube took it off because of copy writes...only 47 seconds of it....:razz:southcitymom said:We TIVOed it, so I don't know when it originally aired - we just got around to watching it last night...and yes, I think it was on cable. I'll be you could dowload it from YouTube.
Thanks SCM This is good to know. I appreciate what South Park does,most of the time and am curious to see it. My son watched it and he thought it was disrespectful. But maybe it is more sophisticated and he "missed" it.southcitymom said:I saw this episode last night. It's interesting because South Park even lampoons themselves with the Steve Irwin bit.

Shoot - have you tried googling to see when it comes on again. I'll go see what I can find. It's on Comedy Central - maybe they'll have an episode guide onlinePharlap said:youtube took it off because of copy writes.......:razz:
LOL - and so true - other people poked at in the Hell of Earth episode: Hollywood, Biggie Smalls, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, ferarri, acura, P Diddy, Catholic priests, Satan and his minions, wealthy teenage girls, MTV video parties...just to name a fewJBean said:.....The good thing about SP= Nothing is sacred and they have no boundaries.

In other words, the usual suspects.southcitymom said:LOL - and so true - other people poked at in the Hell of Earth episode: Hollywood, Biggie Smalls, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, ferarri, acura, P Diddy, Catholic priests, Satan and his minions, wealthy teenage girls, MTV video parties...just to name a few
Exactly...oh that Mel Gibson one if just so insanely rude! I cry over myself laughing every time. Did you ever watch the Southpark movie ( a musical!) where Satan's lover is Saddam Hussein...and we attack Canada? Priceless!JBean said:In other words, the usual suspects.
I just rewatched the Mel Gibson one and I have to laugh every time.
