Well, I guess you’d have to have at least basic cable…
Tonight’s episode proved again that South Park spares no one when it comes to satire. In tonight’s episode Cartman (the fat kid) is out of control so his mom calls Nanny 911 and they do a quick but accurate spoof of that show and it’s characters. When Nanny 911 isn’t up to the task his mom calls in SuperNanny (again, brilliant “durp durp durp durrr…”). After both of these options fail, his mom calls in the Dog Whisperer (on the National Geographic Channel… who’s main character is an effeminate hispanic with a thick accent) who teaches Eric’s mom to treat him like a Dog…
What I find the most entertaining is Southpark’s ability to capture not only the visual likeness with simplistic animation, they pick up the annoying mannerisms and voices of the characters they spoof so well and they don’t hold back!
If you’re someone who is normally turned off by just hearing the name Southpark, give it a chance (it even plays on channel 9 now, a little censored) because chances are they’ve poked fun at something that has bothered you!
