South Park Does... World of Warcraft?

[RJO]

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/new-hp/images/smallcaps/w.giforld of Warcraft is going to be featured in the first episode of South Park Season 10! Click here to check out a sneak peek of the show (http://media.southparkstudios.com/downloads/download.php?file=/media/SPinWoW.avi). The new season of South Park (rated TV-MA) is set to debut this Wednesday, October 4, at 10:00 PM Eastern/Pacific Time on Comedy Central.

Read the official announcement here (http://www.blizzard.com/press/061002.shtml), then tune in this Wednesday to watch as Cartman and the rest of the boys venture into Azeroth!

Umm? WoW... Read the official presser on this, the whole episode is based around WoW.

[Gaelrond]

OMG I HAVE to watch that one.

[Andrea]

This outta be funny.

[Caranthir]

I expect this to be brutal.

[Charinida]

Oooooh! This I wanna see... :D

More publicity for WoW... At least it wasn't L2 or EQ2... Or CoH/CoV...

I wonder what RvB thinks...

[Draknor]

Well, it couldn't be worse than it was on SG1, with Carter distracting the scientist by pretending to be a WoW player while Rodney stole computer files.

[DirkDarkBlade]

I'll have to try and remember to watch. I have only seen about 5 minutes of one episode and found it completely not funny. But that must just be me.

I thoroughly enjoyed most of the first series, then lost interest. There are some hilarious things and some genuinely unfunny episodes. You might have been unlucky - it is worth giving it another chance.

[Lycos]

I have to see this one too. I saw the preview, it looks pretty funny! :D

[Raveneye]

Well, it couldn't be worse than it was on SG1, with Carter distracting the scientist by pretending to be a WoW player while Rodney stole computer files.

That was painful to watch.

[Serani]

Actually, it was Weir, not Carter and yes, VERY painful. :P

[Gaelrond]

I'll have to try and remember to watch. I have only seen about 5 minutes of one episode and found it completely not funny. But that must just be me.

I find I enjoyed South Park a great deal more before they decided to make a socio-political statement in every episode. They seem to go out of their way to exaggerate things, and often it ends up not being funny (IMO). I still watch the show and laugh at it, just not as much as I used to. The rare episode now that isn't making some kind of statement is usually much funnier. I kind of miss the random stuff they put into the episodes in the first couple of seasons.

[Caranthir]

The recent one with the satanic Christmas Critters was classic.

[EricStratton]

I expect this to be brutal.
Without a doubt. /sigh.

[Draknor]

The recent one with the satanic Christmas Critters was classic.

Gotta agree with you there. One of the better ones.

[Caranthir]

Gotta agree with you there. One of the better ones.

"It's a Woodland Critters Christmas!"
"Hail Satan!"

[ColonelSanderz]

The anime spoof one still makes me cry. As does Al Gore and manbearpig.

[Asharad]

I'm seriously, you guys!

[Prescient]

Awesome episode!! The fact that they got WoW characters in the show is fantastic. Best licensing deal ever. The human yelling "Timmy!" should be a new in game /joke. :D

Butters: "... I'm playing Hello, Kitty Online Adventure."
Cartman: "Butters... go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you."

[Caranthir]

Best South Park episode ever!

"When Hitler started playing, there were a lot of people who just quit. You know who those people were... the French."

[ColonelSanderz]

I was amused that Token had the only black character.

[Zyzzyx]

Hrmph. Forgot, missed it. Watched X-Men: Last Stand, then napped.

[Hiken]

Oh God, that was awesome! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time :D

[Draknor]

I thought it was so-so. But I did laugh when the developers stated that they didn't have their own accounts. And I really would have liked to have the hammer that Cartman was using when I was playing.

[Lycos]

I liked when the Blizzard guys came to the house, and they told the wife that her son's character was going to die. Just like my wife would've answered, "So!". And their reaction was the best!

I liked the way they used the background music from the game in the show. Like the music for the Sword of a 1000 Truths. I think it's the same one from the Cathedral in Stormwind. :lowlol:

Oh, and I liked the way they would say, "This could be the end of the WORLD... Of Warcraft"

I really liked it. I laughed through the entire thing. :D

[Andrea]

Yeah, I thought it was hilarious too. It was great. I laughed through the entire thing.

[EricStratton]

That was awesome. "No, I don't have an accout. I have a life!"

TiVo cut it off before it ended tho.

I wanan know how they got the WoW toons to do stuff like cradle the dad's toon. That was great.

[Sir Rubi]

Oh man, now **I** have to see it. I do a decent Cartman, so I could hear him saying that to Butters...

RERUN! Maybe someone will put it up on Youtube...

[EricStratton]

Looks like http://www.southparkx.net/ (and http://getsouthpark.com) has it for download. I'm getting both the torrent and the http versions to verify them both.

[Caranthir]

Almost forgot:

"We seek a noble knight named Lovestospooge."

[EricStratton]

Just watched the beginning and end of the http version. Reso's a bit low but works fine.

[Lycos]

Almost forgot:

"We seek a noble knight named Lovestospooge."

Oh yeah! HAHA! :D

[Raveneye]

I finally saw it streaming today. Hilarious!

"It's too late, your kids charaters are already dead."
"Noooo!!! They just started playing..."

I loved that they used Teamspeak. :smile:

[deepfred]

dang none of those links work =(

[Charinida]

Looks like http://www.southparkx.net/ (and http://getsouthpark.com) has it for download. I'm getting both the torrent and the http versions to verify them both.

/sulks

Can't view either one... Then again, I don't have torrent...

hrmm... /twitch. Waiting for iTunes... :D

[Prescient]

Here be a torrent.

[Zyzzyx]

Caught it tonight, on repeat. Happened to see it on the guide as I was scrolling through. Yeah, was durn good.

[Charinida]

Woohoo! I still have a chance!

The question most asked to me today at my office was "Did you see the South Park episode last night?"


I suppose it doesn't help that I'm known as "the gamer" in the little office I work at, but I work with a bunch of people who have never even played a computer game before or even knew what "World of Warcraft" was. Yes folks, there are people out there like that!

The general consensus though is that episode was extremely funny, not only to us WoW geeks, but to the general populace as well that have never even seen the game before.
If you happened to miss last night's episode, never fear! Comedy Central will run it again at these times:

10:00 PM - Thursday
12:30 AM - Friday
12:00 AM - Saturday
11:00 PM - Sunday
2:00 AM - Monday

If you don't catch it on those time slots it will be available to buy and download on iTunes for $1.99 on Monday.

[deepfred]

take this sword... um... how do you trade items?

[Ganlron]

felt kinda like there was abit of a .hack spoof under the wow jokes.

[RJO]

Woohoo! I still have a chance!

Reading stratics is bad for you...

[Charinida]

Reading stratics is bad for you...

Bu...buu...but I can't help it!

I'm addicted!

[Prescient]

The Sword of 1000 Truths is in the game... sorta :)

[Asharad]

that was fantastic

[Greebo]

I loved how the no-life killer didn't even react when he died...

[ColonelSanderz]

But...how do you kill something that has no life?!

[Yuglooc]

I caught it at 11:00pm Sunday. I enjoyed it.

[shadowgate]

Saw it Sunday finally! VERY funny!

[Shiz]

Caught it on YouTube last night. It is broken up into 3 parts. Search for "south park warcraft" to find working links. The search "south park wow" had a lot of cancelled links.

[Andrea]

Does anyone know when this is going to replay? Or do they.

[Draknor]

It's been on at least twice more. Comedy Central usually replays episodes at 8:30 or 9:00 (central) on various weeknights. I saw an ad last night, so I imagine it'll be on again.

[Aananla]

Ha! I finally watched this on iTunes. Great episode!
