Randy being Lorde can from a throw away joke at the end of Gluten Free Ebola

Yeah, I know.
And Stan thinking she is "really good and talented" isn't a compliment from Parker and Stone; it's showing how easy it is, in general, for someone to have really good sounding music when there's technology involved and getting a huge fan base of people that don't understand the difference. Maybe more of making fun of a collective group of singers today rather than just making fun of Lorde.

And yeah I realize that too. That's where the premise of the show came from. The article made them keep going with it. But everything else was separate

You know the funny thing is she's pretty much shite on every pop artist out there.

So I wouldn't compare her to Gaga



yea, she's more Enya like, ie a synth-pop artist, while Gaga is more of this generations Madonna or Boy George, along with they other Miley Cyrus's and what not that confuse controversy with talent.

It was pretty easy to see that they were making fun of her. Comparing her music to a 40yo man singing on the toilet then using autotune to make it sound better is not complimenting her.

But the characters literally complimenting her and the show likely selling a shitload of downloads for her is. If it were ancillary, frivolous characters talking about how good she is, I'd agree, but it's Stan. Sure, they're poking fun at her looks and the whole auto tune generation, but when they don't like a musician, they don't beat around the bush about it. Phil Collins, Cher, and Enya are perfect examples. There was nothing subtle about any of that.

But I guess if you squint real hard, you can see anything you want to. Come at me with 100 alters. I know the truth hurts you, man.

You guys must be a bunch of liberals. Guess you couldn't handle the pro-life message in that episode.

Don't forget Barbra Streisand, they apparently hated her

They aren't the subtle jab type of people when they don't like someone for sure.

They poke fun at people they like, they stab those they don't.

Yeah, they've been pretty merciless about her, even having Cartman use her name as a curse word in the South Park movie. To date, I think she's the only celebrity who has stupidly, publicly been upset by it.

shite, even Kanye read the celebrity manual and acted like he had a sense of humor about it.

If you think you're pretty, that's cool...

When have they ever just given out compliments?

Korn and Brian Boitano
And I know there's a couple more

Like others have said if they wanted to shite on her they would have gone way more then saying she looks like Randy

Honestly this episode doesn't happen if Spin doesn't throw a shite fit over a small throw away joke

Bumping because it's Wednesday.

Btw, has any show in the history of tv ever stayed as relevant as this one has, for as long as it has? 17 years, and it still makes headlines when it goes after individuals and current event subjects.

Bumping the South Park Tailgate Bump from earlier today since we are much closer now to game time and are getting set in for kick off.

It would be nice to leave last weeks fodder talk in last weeks thread unless being tied into a reference from this weeks episode...this thread got hijacked for a couple pages between people breaking down last weeks Lorde material.

Sorry dude. I didn't start it. I was merely 100% correct and wanted to inform the dopey, pillow-headed masses.
