Oh my God! I never thought i could laugh so hard. Simpsons gets worse and worse but Southpark has never been greater and it's getting better!

After the second or third occurrence of the "dum dum dum" line, my girlfriend paused the video and said "you know, that could also be read as 'dumb dumb dumb'..." English is not our first language, so naturally it was high fives all around when the line later changed to "smart smart smart" :-)

"Dude, what the hell is wrong with German people?" Incidentally, in the German dub of SP:BLU, the German porn guy was turned into a Brit. Any other experiences from viewers in other countries?

Actually, your reaction is priceless. Sorry, but he was making a joke, and you fell for it.

The moral of this thread? That it is ok to make fun of others (in your case Mormons), but not your own kind (in your case, Germans).

Sorry? I didn't see any big joke (apart from his obvious use of irony) - SP has made fun of Germans often enough, and hey, I'm all for that - and my quoting a line from SP:BLU (or didn't you see the quotation marks?) that demonstrates this very fact hardly constitutes "falling for it".

a) I didn't make fun of Mormons - I was just stating that we were happy to "get" a pun that I thought was somewhat subtle *before* it was made obvious in the show. b) I don't take offense at making fun of Germans (also, I'm perfectly aware that the very act of replying to this thread will be taken as a typical example of German lack of humour, but what the hell), in fact, the "German video" scene in SP:BLU was one of the most laugh-out-loud moments for me, right next to Bill Gates.

I don't see why there needs to be all the fuss, Germans are a tidy people.* Can't we all get along and get back to hating the French as God intended?

I finally saw the Towlie episode last night... So that's what you all meant by "sucks"... I can relate to the video-game element of that episode though. I'm OCD enough without something as addictive as XBOX or whatever.

Sorry I made you so upset. It wasnt my intention.
