is this episode in the season 2 DVD set that they sell?

after the initial anger that a regular episode wasnt on, i think this episode is one of the funniest episodes ever.

I dunno, it really seems to lose alot if you weren't "there" that night.

I wasn't "there" -- I didn't really start watching SP until mid-2000 -- but NWMA is maybe my single favorite episode.

Of course, people tell me I'm a freak.

Oh man, the whole month before that episode aired we were all talking who Cartman's dad would turn out to be. About a week before I realized that the show was going to be on April 1st, and just knew we weren't going to find out.

I'm wondering now if any version released on tape or DVD has the whole "you've waited four long weeks..." buildup and the big raspberry April Fool's is on it. And the commercial with the angry woman was just beautiful.

"Cartman's father revealed. April 20th. We promise."

Those are the voices in your head, you need to take your Zyprexa, m'k?

that build up april fools talk is there on the region 2 (UK) disks. i still think the episode is good, and wasnt "there" and when it was first shown on UK tv the date wasnt right to fit in.

But what is "Kroff dinner"!!

still

on

That be "Kraft dinner", but with the accent for a in "palm" and the kind of British accent reserved for "dance", "arse", "vase," etc. - Macaroni and cheese.

The (originally German, I think) company is called Kraft, but it seems people in Canada pronounce it "Kroff". It's also spelled that way on the diner in NWMA. See also http://www.the-indigestible.com/08/2001/17.htm#kd

I think the video I have does it, or the copy I made when the episode was reaired right before the movie came out has it, not sure, I'll have to look into it ;)

Oooh! Never saw that!

Well, I'll join the freak club. I wasn't around with the whole "cartman's dad" cliffhanger, so I didn't get dissapointed when I watched that episode after downloading it. And, being Canadian, I thought it was great to hear our national anthom at something other than a freaking hockey game, since Americans get to hear their's almost everywhere they go :)

I've also been known to say that NWMA is one of the most Canadian patriotic shows/movies I've seen, which is pretty sad if you think about it...

SP fans are probably among the few Americans who can sing "O Canada," all because of that episode. We sang along with it when our local basketball team played the Toronto Raptors, and the fans around us thought we were very strange.

I agree with you there, I didn't start watching until 1998, just barely missing the gag, but I highly doubt I would've gotten as pissed as some apparently were.

NWMA is absolutely awesome, BTW. Not sure about picking favs anymore though, too many to choose from nowadays. KyleIke13~ "Next week on Fox watch lions eat Christians." ((Weird Al :: Couch Potato))

Am I the only person in this group who was? Actually, I just barely made it myself, 113 was the first show I watched. I wasn't pissed, because for one of the rare times in my life I saw it coming. But man, a lot of people were furious. Oh well, I posted the commercial in a.b.sp for those who can get it.

I wonder if time & distance from the "prank" is letting more people enjoy NWMA? It was nearly universally reviled at the time, and even I seriously doubted it would ever be aired again, since it was really just a joke.

i was actually annoyed that night, why i dont know (maybe i was in a bad mood that day)i didnt watch it that night. but i watched it later that week and it was hilarious

I was there. I had watched from the first episode, anticipated the show from the promos CC had aired practically all summer. Then I moved off to college, where the local cable provider didn't carry CC! I finally resorted to downloading the rest of the season in crappy RM files through a dial-up connection.

For NWMA, I had to wait until after the show was aired and was encoded for download. As a result I knew before watching it that it was an Aprils Fools joke.

However, I figured out a while before that most likely they were going to pull an April's Fools joke. I was expecting something more along the lines of what happened in, "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut," but I admired them for going so far. I was surprised, therefore, at the amount of venom directed at the episode. I mean, people actually *cared* who Cartman's dad was?

Even though I didn't hate the episode, I didn't think it was all that good. Ironically, NWMA as an episode is far less offensive than most of the episodes that aired before it. However, it was funny, especially Ugly Bob.

"Because you're God-Damn Ugly Bob."

Looking back, it stands up as an incredibly well crafted stand-alone episode, with some fine points of humor and an obvious mining ground for "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut."

I'm also a "johnny-come-lately." If I wanted to get CC on cable where I used to live, it was going to cost me about $75.00 a month. NO show is worth that.
