Season Thirteen, Episode Fourteen First Impressions

Like the saying goes, everything bad always comes to an end. Well, maybe that's bit harsh. But to be honest, Season Thirteen was pretty solid candidate for worst season ever. But it wasn't that bad really and the last episode was really good ending for it. It might even be the best episode of the season, but that's down to the fact that there wasn't any legendary episodes during the season. At first I thought there has been too much Cartman singing this season when he started to sing about minorities, but then again, it is sweet stuff usually. You have to say that it was a bit predictable episode, but that's the deal with parodies. Good stuff nonetheless.

Season Thirteen, Episode Thirteen - First Impressions

Towards the end of the run episodes tend to get more crazy due to the mental fatique of the writers. But "Dances With The Smurfs".. it was just insane and so absurd, I don't know what to think. There was some funny moments alright and since it was Cartman centered, it worked well enough. I just wonder how much manipulation Cartman can get away with time and time after again. It was crazy, but I still think this was one of the better episodes of this season.

Season Thirteen, Episode Twelwe - First Impressions

I'm bit tired (it's 7 am. here) but here goes.

I kinda liked the new episode. But to be honest, it was again a bit of a mess. The plot got out of hand. Also there was something odd with the boys, they seemed somewhat out of character. But there was funny moments. It's average episode by this season's standards, but bit sub-par overall. Still gotta be happy with this especially since there were not much expectation for this episode.

Season Thirteen, Episode Eleven: First Impressions

This is a bit of tough one. I mean, who doesn't like Cartman singing Lady Gaga? That was the highlight of the show and the rest was alternating between mediocre and okay. You can't argue that it was a bit of a silly plot. And silly plot is okay only if it is funny. I don't think it was that funny. It was funny in theory, but not in practice. Well, there were funny parts though. At least there was nice kind of subtle message in the episode. Not the worst of the season, but not really that good either. Perhaps one of the season's best, but that's down to the fact that it has been weak season so far.

Kenny - Sex, Drugs and Rock N' Roll

It's hard not to like Kenny. Character that always dies, yet always comes back, and was supposed to have been killed of for good but still ressurrected again, because we just couldn't live without him. Kenny lives life to the fullest, probably because he knows that it'll, once again, end soon. It's not so easy to write about Kenny though. There's the obvious route to write about his deaths but much have been said about those and pretty much anybody knows Kenny dies, even those who don't watch the series. Since I don't want to write about his numerous deaths, my only alternative is to discuss his life, which is wild when he happens to live.

"That is the sickest thing I have ever fuckin' seen"
Kenny used to be pretty much a prop. But we always knew that he were more hardcore than the other boys. It was asserted early in the series that Kenny is foul-mouthed and he is the one to ask when there's sex-related vocabulary that needs some clarifying. For a long time though all Kenny would really do was dying. In "Rainforest Schmainforest" he finally gets some action - his first girlfriend and certainly not the last either. Though he has only had two so far when you think of it, Kelly and Tammy. The fact though is that they always get him killed. Kenny dies firts because of Kelly by spontaneous combustion and then Tammy kills him with syphillis. You'd guess though that Tammy won't be his last relationship.

"How can I calm down? You should've seen those titties."
Well, Kenny had a some sort of relationship to the lady in "Major Boobage", though she wasn't technically real.. Kenny's boob obsession is also one thing that has been well documented. Major boobage wasn't even the first time it happened, right off the bat I remember the "Lil Crime Stoppers" episode and Kenny's "sketches". Kenny's Most Wanted sign was on the wall and it consisted of drawings of big titted females. So Kenny's crazy for titties, but that's not the only thing he's crazy for.

"Well, I'm gonna give my grandfather a full-body sensual massage."
Kenny is, at times, literally krazy like in episode "Fat Camp", where he had his show. He'll do anything for money, but sometimes he'll do nasty stuff without that much of a reason. In "Volcano" he drinks gas and is all out hardcore during that episode. Then there's also the fact that Kenny does drugs too.

"I'm not ruining my life, okay."
Again we're referring back to "Major Boobage". Kenny's "cheesing" is the whole point of the episode. But there's other moments alike which show how Kenny is never afraid to do drugs. In "Cancelled" he snorts some of the stuff those executive aliens are doing. I'd love to list more examples, but you get the point and my brain hurts. So in conclusion, Kenny is one fucked up kid.

Best. Ending. Ever. This ended up bit on the short side, but I don't really have that much to say about Kenny. Next week Butters would be up, but like I said, I'll be taking november off.

Sorry that I'm late, I just couldn't write this shit yesterday. Just downloading the newest episode, I'll be back with the comments again in a short while. See ya.

Season Thirteen, Episode Ten: First Impressions

Now this was a letdown. To be honest I wasn't expecting too much. When you have subject like wrestling there's lots of potential but they just got the most obvious jokes out of it and dragged it way too much. It was just so unsurprising and a bit stale along with some ridiculous plot twist. Most jokes were very obvious so even if they were a bit funny, they didn't have much of an effect.

Hope they pickthemselves up for the next episode and for the rest of the season or this is going to be worst season even (which, frankly, would be hardly surprising).

Stan & Kyle - The Gayest Moments

I didn't know if this was the best idea for writing when I came up with it and I'm not still sure, but here goes. This will not be long article anyway.

I had not heard about that StanxKyle -stuff until just recently so you might think I'm living under a rock. It's rock worth living under though. I mean I had stumbled upon the term but didn't know what it was about until recently and.. Damn, that's messed up. I can't really say that I could've thought of something like that. But it got me thinking if there were any really gay moments in the show.

"Goood boy. Now, don't be gay."
Stan's dog is/was gay (where's Sparky anyway?) and Stan didn't like it until he learned to accept that in "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" And there's no real point in delving into Stan's sexuality really more - I mean he had a crush on Miss Ellen and we've also seen how much he pukes around Wendy, so that's that. What about Kyle? Well, Kyle had his little thing going on with Rebecca in "Hooked on Monkey Phonics" and he turned him into a slut. If that isn't straight then what is? But it is obvious that it isn't their sexuality being questionable that springs stuff like stanxkyle up. In fact, it doesn't need to be anything on the series. I mean if it would be, then there would be CartmanxButters stuff rather, since Cartman has sucked Butters' penis and vice versa. Butters even gives Cartman a kiss in "Tonsil Trouble". But that's enough about that.

"Just best friends, best friends are we."
There could be though some matters that in the series support these gay ideas. The most obvious reason is of course the fact that Stan and Kyle are so close friends. Or are they? They spend most of their time together and trust each other most of the time. There has been some instances where the other haven't been so truthful to each other and some other where they've been flat out bad friends. Let's look more closely into that.

"I hate having Cartman as a best friend. "
We remember that in "Prehistoric Ice Man" they get into a row about the name of the frozen guy and in the end they decide to fight it out till death. In the end though they make up and there's quite a gay moment where they agree on hating Cartman. At least they didn't make out. There was also couple of instances in season three where Kyle didn't fit in with the rest of they guys and Stan was among the others to ridicule him. Then we have to go all the way to the "Bebe's Boobs Destroy the Society", where it was all vs. all for Bebe, but they were primates, so that doesn't count! There has been lot of small stuff, too much to really go on and list here so I'll just cut to the big one's. "South Park Is Gay", "The Mystery of the Urinal Deuce" and "Follow That Egg".

"You're straight like a freeway!"
In "South Park Is Gay" Kyle were really left out of the group when he didn't want to appear gay. Stuff like this has happened in other episodes like for example in "The List" where Kyle was thought of as the ugliest kid. But even then you didn't see Stan to take any part in it. Here though Stan abandon his friend. Kind of ironic, isn't it? It's like they were trying to make a subtle point and perhaps reacting to StanxKyle stuff (I doubt they really were thinking about that though, but perhaps). In "The Mystery of the Urinal Deuce" though nothing really friendship wrecking happens - except that Stan points gun at Kyle and takes part in a conspiracy deceiving Kyle.

"Yeah, well, so is your hat."
Well, they might view themselves as good friends but they're really not that 'good friends', mostly Stan isn't, that is. Final nail in that coffin is the "Follow That Egg" episode. The whole thing about Stan's jealousy of Wendy spending some time with Kyle makes Stan mad. But at the same time, episode has some subtle feel that Kyle and Stan are compared to gays - it's not even that subtle in the end when gays can marry because of their egg making it. But the gayest moment ever comes bit before that, when they finally make up again and following dialogue comes up:

Stan:	Come on, buddy, let's go! [walks happily towards his door. Kyle steps forward, then stops]
Kyle:	Stan... [Stan turns, then he turns away] Do you really think my hat is stupid?
Stan:	[walks back and puts his left hand on Kyle's shoulder] As a matter of fact,... I think it is the nicest hat I've evern known.

I'm sorry, but that's pretty gay.

"I'm obviously just a crappy best friend to have."
So in the end, I didn't cover as much the gayness of Stan's and Kyle's relationship as I thought and it once again proved to be a pretty shitty article! Maybe I shouldn't always leave these to the last minute, though this wasn't best idea for an article to begin with. Anyways, thanks for reading this shit and have a good day/night/whatever.

PS. I'm currently downloading the newest episode so I'll write my first feelings about it here probably today. Also, since I already have these "columns" about Cartman, Stan and Kyle I figured out it would only be fair to do one on the other two most prominent characters; Butters and Kenny. I'll write the Butters one next week and then I'm going to break off from the schedule because I'm participating in NaNoWriMo and I really won't need then any more writing workload. I might still write the Kenny -article in november providing I have the time and ideas.

Any feedback will be appreciated, even moaning about grammar since I don't want to write bad English.
