I just changed over to watch Holly Bridget and Kendra.

Poor Kyle.

[dynachrome]

Cartman came out ok! LOL

I'm not a big Family Guy guy.

The manatees just don't have those home run idea balls that often, imho.

I have a question, a cereal one: Toward the end of the episode, when Butters enters the "white room of nothingness", is that a reference to THX 1138?

I DID get the reference to Alien Resurrection, wherein butter's imagination renders his dad, and Santa, as mutated science experiments complete with tentacles instead of limbs.

[Calvin Locke]

It's been so long since I've seen THX 1138...but now that you mention it, it could be.

Quite frankly, I found the movie boring, being unable to separate the story from the overall look, and pace, of the film. Techniques like that are better left to plays, imho.

It did remind me of, now my mind is going, the Aldous Huxley novel.

Although, it b-school, analyzing a magazine ad, I pointed out that "THX Sound" was a George Lucas reference to his first movie, to the yawns of my classmates, as well as gaining me sarcasm from the professor, getting an overly trivial reference in a consumer marketing class.

Thank you for your weekly pings! If not for your reminders I would surely miss every new episode on Wednesdays.

Loved last night's episode... the return of ManBearPig! ;-D

It gets worse than that. In "American Grafitti", John Milner's license plate is THX 138, and in Star Wars, Princess Lea's cell block on the Death Star is... 1138.

“Don’t nuke me, bro!”

Did they say that? I missed it.

[Calvin Locke]

I forgot about those appearances, but I saw those two movies before I watched, let alone heard, of THX 1138.

[Calvin Locke]

I didn't get reference until now. Even from radiohead's post last night.

I said my mind is going. It must be dull from ignoring the hippie/no nuke thing for decades, as my electric bill has gone up.

I'll have to watch the recording when I get home.

[Calvin Locke]

It was “Don’t nuke our imagination, bro, Whoohoo!”

[Jack Deth]

I liked Butter’s “An M-60 for Jesus!”

Jack.

[Thoro]

Looks like this trilogy was the South Park Narnia movie. Yeowzer, I couldn’t even count the number of toy/cartoon/movie references.

[perfect stranger]

Comedy Central will usually play it a few more times thru the week.

You have Freepmail.

[Steve Van Doorn]

“Don’t nuke our imagination, bro, Whoohoo!”

That is why I missed it. Might have been better to say:
“Don’t nuke *mee* imagination, bro!”

The "me" in "don't taser me, bro!" is what makes it personal and funny. “my” is grammatically correct but “mee” would be more appropriate. The 'Whoohoo' just makes it sound like a stupid hippie on acid.

Oh look at you go Kyle! You dirty girl! You love those balls! rofl.
