Pretty good ep, but last week's is still one of the funniest I've ever seen. Original 6 eps included.

I wouldn't say it was a parody of a specific movie. There were lots of bad skiing related movies in the '80s- Ski School, Hot Dog: The Movie, etc. It was also just a parody of bad '80s-style movies in general- the training montage complete with dopey song, the evil land developer who's going to close down a youth center, and so on. I thought it was a pretty funny episode, if a little more subtle than usual for "South Park".

I'm shocked no one mentioned the neighbour from Pet Semetary. I think they've done that one before as well though. I nearly died laughing.

For some reason, when I get really attracted to someone, famous or otherwise, I find out he's Jewish.

Maybe it's this big hint from God telling you to convert... that way next time you meet someone, everything will fall into place. ;)

It was a parody of those 80's "spring break" movies, along with a poke in the eye to timeshare weasals.
