I know cartman has made all these anti jew jokes before, but I always felt that he was just being an ass and was using all of those stereo types to piss kyle off. But now I feel like cartman was really serious all of the time.

When he was making all of those statments about cleansing, and trains I thought that it was going to be something completely diffferent

But mels bathroom antics on cartman saved the show.

I wonder if Cartman isn't meant to be like Archie Bunker - meant to represent some prototypical racist. Like Bunker, though, almost no one exists who makes those racist jokes. I think it's more of the standard back handed racism that's prevalent these days. They would like you to presume that all white people are racist, in spite of the fact that that't more racist than any actual Cartman's I've met in life.

Frick, if I wanted to watch a sermon I'd go to church. Can't they just make funny films?

Maybe their next episode should be on how preachy TV has become. Remember "I dream of Jeanie", "Gilligan's Island", "Hogan's Heros"? Remember when comedy shows were funny and not a half hour of sermon/probaganda?

Hahaha! That makes sense, now. Hollywood's version of the "Jew" characature posters the Nazi's made where the "Jew" looks like Chester the Molester. No reason to base a character on a person who actually exists somewhere.

Clearly the only thing that bothers Jews about Nazi propaganda is that they weren't the ones making it.

I can't remember any "All in the Family" ep where Archie Bunker was as messed up as Cartman was in this ep.

Me neither. But then, today's comedies are a far cry from those the 70s.

Cartman's behavior should hardly come as a surprise. Remember the first Halloween episode?

That rocked. And I liked the message of the episode, too.

I also enjoyed how Matt and Trey sort of combined a Daffy Duck persona with Gibson's idiotic Lethal Weapon character... I never liked Gibson and I hate the Lethal Weapon movies... nice to see someone busting on them.

Yeah, but there was more "innocence" to Cartman's Fuhrer mimicry back then. You have the feeling he had seen some WWII show on the History channel and was enraptured with his speaking style and that he controlled all those troops with bellowing commands, without knowing what Hitler was actually saying. He knew what he was saying and doing this time, and that contributed to a certain level of banality across the whole episode. There were a few chuckle-worthy moments, but nowhere near as many as the best episodes inspire.

As a general rule, I tend to prefer Cartman as A-hole more than Cartman as a Force for Evil.
