What's left to make fun of?

Most of the best SP episodes spoof some cultural or social fad or some weird news event...sexual harassment, global warming, UFOs, horror movies, icemen, the fetus lady (a real story from China), Wacko, religion, etc. I'm trying think of what's left to make fun of. Perhaps...

Forced Bussing. The boys are bussed into downtown Denver and become home boyz, people die.

Psychic Hotline. The boys get into horoscopes and stuff, people die

Martial Arts. Spoof a Honk Kong movie, people die.

Viagra. Use you imagination, people die.

Gill Bates. The tycoon who takes over everything, people die.

Title 9. The boys lose their football team, switch to synchronized swimming, people die.

The Music Man. A traveling musical instrument salesman comes to town, people die.

The Phantom. Cartman becomes deformed, lives underground, people die.

C-SPAN. The c-span bus comes to town, people die.

The Plague. Yes, the plague is back, bigger than ever, everyone dies but Kenny.

God vs Allah. Comedy Central is car bombed, Matt and Trey die.

BTW, very few shows remain any good after three years. Star Trek got cancelled before it had time to get really crappy. Dick Van Dyke quit after 3 yrs (I think). That's why all those shows were good. But maybe if our culture can continue to manufacture new stupidities, SP can go on indefinitely!

If this isn't a troll post I would have to say an episode making fun of movies like scream would be good. THe killer could be Mr. Hat, it would be very fun!

You are joking, of course! Season three was a HUGE heap of shite! Spocks Brain is Missing, indeed......almost as stupid as Stealing Neelix' lungs!!

Spocks

Hey, I liked that one. Besides, it had good-looking dumb women in it. Can't be bad. But they did repeat a lot of the basic shows. Most were:

Spock Goes Nuts

The Attack of the Space Creature (blob or gas)

Time Travel (always backwards)

The Evil Computer (Kirk talks it into destroying itself)

Space War! (oops, let's be friends)

Superior Space Beings (Ha! You ain't so smart)

BTW, how many references to Star Trek episodes are there in SP?

Evil Cartman (actually, good Cartman) with the gotee in Spooky Fish is like Spock in the parallel universe episode.

Then "Van Gelder" in the planetarium episode is the guy who escapes the evil mental treatment room. It even has the same music and a "mind meld" scene.

One of the kids is blond and dresses like Captain Kirk.

Others?

And doesn't the spaceship hovering over SP in the opening credits have a familiar design?

And in the "Damien" episode, during the boxing match either Stan or Kyle tells Jesus "Don't try to be a great man, just be a man."

scene.

Spotted that one last night. Slighly OT, we also had fun with the idea of dubbing Cartman saying "respect mah authoritah" over Captain Janeway...

Anyone else want to admit to watching too much Trek :-)?

Let's not forget the Simpsons, a show running for 9 years yet still turns up countless laughs every time. Possibly the best show ever created for television. Wonder how much longer they can go on...

In "The City on the Edge of Forever" (named after the episode where Joan Collins dies to save mankind from having to watch "Dynasty"), a kid wearing a red ST shirt is eaten by the Big Scary Monster. As every good Trekkie knows, if you see an unfamilliar guy in a red shirt, he'll be toast soon.

In "Conjoined Fetus Lady", Cartman's line, "So, Ahab has to get his whale, huh", is directly quoted from Alfre Woodard in ST: FIRST CONTACT.

In "Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls", Robert Redford says "I... have HAD... enough of YOU!", before chucking Mr. Hankey into the wall. In SP:BLU, Satan says the same thing before kicking Saddam into the pit. This is a direct quote from ST: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK; it's what Kirk said when he killed Kruge.

In "Spooky Fish", one of the people murdered by the evil goldfish is William Shatner.

In "Damien", Kyle says "Don't try to be a great man, just try to be a man", from ST: WRATH OF KHAN

In "Spontaneous Combustion", Kyle says "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one", also from WOK.

That line was from First Contact. There is also the bonus material on Volume 1 of the South Park DVD collection: Before each episode there is a "fireside chat" with Trey and Matt sitting in front of the fireplace. And with them is their dog Scratch which changes to a different type of dog every 20 seconds: from a Saint Bernard to a collie to a stuffed doll. It so much reminded me of all the makeup blunders in Star Trek with the Klingons, Romulans and Trills-- total drastic alterations and the characters think nothing of it. I hope those Star Trek producers and makeup artists are turning red in the face at seeing this because I have a feeling that Trey and Matt are grinding them into the pavement with those mutating dog scenes.

Wow, you lot can't get out that much what with watching all these South Park and Star Trek episodes!

You forgot the oft repeated

Crew meet God who is either Mad or a child....or both....

Another thing to make fun of is potato chips.(I dunno, C-4 plastic explosives are mixed in with the potatoes and cause mass havoc world wide?!)

And Cartman, who just LOVES to eat snacks like potato chips, would be the walking bomb... did you notice the Coo Coo chips he was eating in the movie?
