Atomizer posted:I didn't take the Red Robin reference as intentional product placement, I thought it was pretty clear they needed to use it to set up the Red [Robin] Wedding subplot. What other restaurant name could they have used instead? That's not the only time they used Red Robin. Prior to that, when they did the 1% episode, they not only used Red Robin, but even had someone saying, "I like their bottomless fries" in a bit.

Or the episode where Cartman implores Congress to legalize stem cell research by singing “heat of the moment” just so he can use it to clone his OWN Shakey’s Pizza franchise.

In the off-chance I find myself in the US, I for one am keen to find out how good Chipotle can be that making GBS threads blood is a fair deal.

I assume all the food-related cameos in the episodes aren't intentional product placement, they're just places they like to eat at (or in the case of Chipotle, are notorious.) I've never been to a Red Robin, Shakey's, Shoney's, etc., because they're not in my area (last time I checked) but it wouldn't surprise me if they're found out West where Trey & Matt grew up (the Shoney's is a Rick & Morty reference though.)VivaLa Eeveelution posted:In the off-chance I find myself in the US, I for one am keen to find out how good Chipotle can be that making GBS threads blood is a fair deal. Chipotle is such trash compared to actual Mexican food, it's not even funny. You could get, you know, actual tacos, with fresh tortillas, homemade salsa, cilantro & cebolla, and say lengua de res, or you could just go to Chipotle and overpay for whatever the gently caress a "burrito bowl" is supposed to be.

The whole joke is that Cartman has a terrible and childish palate and is constantly gorging himself on lovely fast food. Hell, they had a whole episode about him being a KFC addict. Also one joke where he gets incredibly pissed at someone (probably Kyle, maybe Stan) because he's actually not making GBS threads diarrhoea for once.

That was a pretty good episode but I'll admit the Red Dead Redemption gag was played out and should've stayed in the first episode. It also felt slightly more like product placement in this episode due to showing actual footage of the game. But overall it was one of the better two-parter conclusions they've done.

I was cool with the RDR2 continuation because it let to the punchline at the end. The 'should I start to worry' gag was pretty good too.

Not a bad episode but you know what I don't want more of on this show? A sideplot about the marital problems of Harrison Yates. I thought the Al Gore Ghost had made a movie of himself, though, which would've been hilarious and I was slightly disappointed to see it was an actual movie. Still, "...credits?" made me laugh. I laughed at Kenny's muffled "No..." after ManBearPig "annihilated him like a bitch" (itself a great line). They also missed out on a chance to have Satan see the Mormons in Heaven again.

Getting kinda annoyed with them getting rid of all the old characters. The show is struggling enough already; dropping a bunch of characters for no real reason seems unwise.

Chipotle is more or less literally overpriced Taco Bell. I mean maybe the guacamole at Chipotle is better but probably not.

Yup. Just feels like another step towards "we're tired of this show, but we're not going to call it quits because gently caress hopping off the gravy train". It's a shame because the pot episode and scooter were both pretty solid late season fare.

No. They made a deal to stave off manbearpig for X number of years because they didn't want to give up their cars and ice cream. Just as manbearpig wanted them to give up RDR2 and soy sauce in the present. To really spell it out, people have to give things up in order to stem the tide of global climate change. Scientists have been talking about it for around 50 years now. Cars were viewed as a major cause and ice cream is a joke. But in the land of the free people can't give up their cars and ride trains with the riff raff. And anyway, it wasn't effecting them. It's the future generations that will suffer. So yeah, you can't do much. But one thing you can do is stop eating beef. The cattle industry is the #1 thing that is pushing climate change. Can you give up your precious steaks and burgers? Even if your neighbor won't? This is why the planet is hosed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM0uZ9mfOUI Waltzing Along fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Nov 16, 2018 |

Eh, I don't think all the food references are related to Cartman being a fatass. The "only eats the chicken skins" part was great though.

Yeah by the end it definitely felt like intentional product placement. I haven't played the game but they were really obviously pushing features and plot points on the audience (even if it was really just a long gag.)

Just as manbearpig wanted them to give up RDR2 and soy sauce in the present. It's not just cars. It's endless consumption in general, hence the ice cream. I imagine Trey and Matt read the same synopses of that IPCC report that everyone else did, and one of the findings of it was "we need massive social upheaval to even have a chance." Basically, capitalism can't fix this problem, but we're all too mollified by the spoils of capitalism (RDR2 for example) to actually make these changes. The deal Stan signs isn't for X years. It's FIVE, and he's coming back 1,000-fold after five. We are going to ignore this problem until it kills us -- soon.
