South Park The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs (1997– ) watch online HD

After the mediocre "Sexual Healing", The Tale Of Scrotie McBoogerballs is once again another excellent south park episode.The plot revolves around the age old issue of controversial novels.The boys get assigned to read "Catcher In The Rye" for school.They dislike the fact, but after hearing that the book is "controversial", they are excited.They then find that the book is not actually controversial at all(especially for today's standards), so Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny decide to write the most disgusting novel of all time.They do so and despite the fact that everybody who reads it throws up, they love the book! The boys just meant to be as gross as possible, however everybody else keeps analyzing the deeper meanings of the novel and praising it.The boys thought they would be in trouble for writing it, so they use Butters as a scapegoat, therefore he gets all the fame and glory.The episode also pokes fun at actress Sarah Jessica Parker.The episode raises the questions "should we ban disgusting novels?" and "what(if any) are the deeper meanings of them?".There have only been two episodes so far, but if Trey and Matt continue like this, the season will for sure be great!

22 minutes of people vomiting and a few Sarah Jessica Parker jokes.

These guys used to write freakin musicals and now they just have people throwing up in buckets. It's like an Andy Kaufman skit. Everything is a message. Yes people read things into art where there wasn't really a message. Okay, but where is the comedy?

There are not many south park episodes that I agree with more than this one. People over-interpret may art-forms, situations, and issues in ways that were completely unintended by their creators. The world is full of people who do and say offensive and disgusting things without always having a deeper meaning that they were trying to portray. For instance the likes of human centipede and a Serbian film were not written for any other purpose than for shock value but some have interpreted it that way. This episode takes a look at how much of society tries to find deeper meaning in obscene works of literature that is vulgar for the sake of being vulgar.

The very least I can say about this just another winding curve in the journey down the toilet for "South Park" is that it doesn't poorly spoof a recent pop culture thing that will grow stale(r) and (more) outdated within months to come.

While it's always worth giving the sort of messages of seeing messages in trash, "order in chaos", Trey Parker and Matt Stone just don't know how to do this while remaining funny.

Instead, we get the typical formula for bad South Park in recent years: The adults are too idiotic to be realistic, and the kids cease to have any personality, with Stan and Kyle becoming total Author Avatars.

This time around, the jokes involve the overly long gag of people vomiting just from reading relatively tame passages from this book Butters claims credit for, and Butters randomly "zombie-fying" babbling to want to kill John Lennon and Ronald Reagan after reading the Catcher in the Rye. It wasn't funny (nor was it offensive) when he did it the first time, it just felt tacked on and pointless the second time.

Watching it the first time around produces some chuckles and smiles. Watching it again produces absolutely nothing of the sort. It's got nothing to it. It's just another in countless instances of South Park being, as they said of themselves jokingly, "preachy and up their own asses with messages" Unrelated to the review, was it just my imagination, or was the title of the book something different in the beginning of the episode? I swear they called it "Scrotie Mc" something, and it only became "McBoogerballs" when Sharon picked it up.
