I feel so dirty after watching this... DAMN YOU PRINCESS!!! [NOT FOR KIDS]

I just watched the most horrific Flash cartoon I have seen for a fair while, and of course, it was made by Matt Stone and Trey Parker of Orgazmo and South Park fame.

If you want to see their flash cartoon, here are the links...

Now, I must go cower in a corner and cry...

I watched this a couple weeks ago. I like the juxtapositioning of cliched cuteness with sick humor but something like this that goes out of its way to be as f-ed up as possible doesn't strike me as funny.. more just odd.

By the way, the "dirty" bit of the thread title may not be enough warning. I sure as hell wouldn't want my kids (if I had 'em) checking this out.

Meh, not my thing.

I wasn't ever much of a South Park fan but enjoyed some of its satire and some of the more subtle jokes. However, I think the target audience caused it to change to a more toilet humor-oriented show. I enjoy the occasional low-brow fest but when its coupled with shock attempts that aren't all that shocking it just becomes an insult to human thought-process (as if it needed any more discouragement).

The Princess clips have a little bit of the Happy Tree Friends feel to it but it sours when an exagerrated everyday event is only supposed to be funny because of its bluntness.

I still love that stuff.. I watched those a couple of weeks ago at another site. Apparently flash asked them to make a cartoon as a promo, and never used it after watching them

really? I wonder why...

DGMacphee · Thu 29/04/2004 13:27:40

I got a laugh out of the first one. The second one was just plain gross.

m0ds · Thu 29/04/2004 13:37:17

Sigh, I really think we should start to be more careful about what links are posted in this forum, and that they're suitable for younger people. Those cartoons certainly aren't.

South Park is by far better than these!

Peter Thomas · Thu 29/04/2004 13:49:54

I sort of agree with mods.

The cartoons certainly aren't the sort of thing you'd post on an average forum, though the title does have enough warning in it, I think.

Maybe if it was just changed to:

"click here to learn the nutritional benefits of re-hydrated spinach juice"

I think that would scare off the younger viewers..

Pessi · Thu 29/04/2004 14:50:39

I don't know. I didn't find these specially funny but not that disturbing either. Unfortunately, I've happened to see a lot more gross stuff than this. Not that I'm feeling as strongly about this as Os Ultimo.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting is that I personally think South Park has gotten better all the time. I don't think there's nearly as much toilet humour as there used to be and most shows make good points. I think South Park is just a way of telling something to people in language that they can understand and they have the patience to follow. Well, that's my view.

I've never really seen South Park as toilet humour and I fail to see the juvenile (if you mean immature by it) nature of the show. I think humour is a very intelligent way to get a point through, even though many people fail to see any lessons in the show anyway. I think having fun is too often seen as immature.

Didn't mean to turn this into a debate or anything. I just think South Park is misunderstood in that way.

DGMacphee · Thu 29/04/2004 15:53:12

Aye, I find South Park very topical, especially in the last few years.

Most notably, the "War in Iraq" episode, the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" episdoe and the yet-to-be-screened-on-SBS "The Passion of The Jew" episode.

Also, the Princess animations were made a while back -- I think the humour has developed a lot since then.

m0ds · Thu 29/04/2004 15:55:37

DG, true - those two episodes were pretty damn funny. South Park is funny, but I can't say I've ever really appreciated any thing else Trey and whatever has done.

LordHart · Thu 29/04/2004 21:56:47

What about Cannibal: The Musical, Orgazmo or BASEketball? $:-\$

Igor · Thu 29/04/2004 22:43:35

Not my cup of tea really...
Agree that South Park is much better than this. The first episode was kinda funny, but it did try to play on shock and gross value too much. I never thought i'll ever say this, but i like South Park's "subtle" (hehe) humor much more.

Harvester · Fri 30/04/2004 00:30:46

This is... disgusting. But there are some funny moments (only in the first one).

LGM · Fri 30/04/2004 01:39:47

What the crap is this ass crap?

Seriously.. If this was supposed to be funny, it could've been a whole lot less IN YO FACE! I could sense the south park humour, but it just wasn't all that funny.

Suggested humour seems to be much funnier in these sort of things. But I guess these guys never were ones for subtily.

DGMacphee · Fri 30/04/2004 02:58:25

The first episode wasn't as much shock value in my opinion. I'm sure most couples have had problems like that (except for the blowing-the-head-off bit, but that's more of an absurd twist).

Meanwhile, the necrophiliac in the second part was just plain gross -- it didn't really have much of a setup or pay-off like the first episode.

I have to admit here that I haven't watched the show years and years. I think the turning point for me was when the movie was released. Up until then I loved the show but didn't find the movie very humorous and far too blunt and simplistic. Yeah, there were parts I found funny and parts I found funny that I won't admit to but it ruined my opinion of the show. I am an utterly biased and cynical bastard.

I was never a big fan of South Park but like other people , I have mixed feelings about these new videos ,
it's sad , really , I can't even remember why I ever watched SP in the first place and what my favorite episode was.
And since I was never a big fan , eventually I stopped watching altogether.

I feel so dirty after watching this... DAMN YOU PRINCESS!!! [NOT FOR KIDS]
