Do you think Eric Cartman was named after Eric Hartman, the world's leading ace? :)

they've dressed cartman up as hitler before (i think he looks more like goering), which would indicate they have some inkling about early 1900s politics

As punishment for wearing his Hitler uniform to school on Halloween, the principal forced Cartman to watch a history film about how bad the Nazis were.  The film was "Triumph of the Will"

Then the principal gave Cartman a ghost costume to wear over his Hitler suit that made it look like he was in the KKK.


I love that show.

I agree, I taped the 1st 3 years and there is some comedy genius in those shows. They seem to have degenerated lately to the point where I can't enjoy them anymore.

I think SouthPark is getting better each episode.

I love Butters.

Not only that, MidNight...but Sci-Fi and Comdey Central just poun you with the SAME commericals everyone 5 minutes or less, it seems.  Just as soon as the show starts, BAM, another commercial.

The original South Park is still my favorite, the one with Jesus.  I think I have that Quicktime somewhere...I admire how obnoxious they've been (the creators) and havent gone soft and fluffy on us.  But hearing they were dumping Kenny and stuff....dunno.  Magic just isnt there

The Kenny gimmick was already old and tiresome. Butters is better.

Kenny was a predictable and limited character, but Butters has no comedic value at all, IMHO.

Then you need to re-adjust your humor sensors.

Butters is not a gag. Its a very well done character representing that innocent kid with low confidence that is in every group of children. I think its hilarious how he rebels and wants to destroy the world.

He, Cartman, Chef and Mr Garrison are the only characters with some kind of depth to them. They are funny because they have personality.
