One of the most underrated episodes
This is one of those episodes that I come back to watch every so often. Instead of a topical episode it's just South Park being very South Park and making fun of Hollywood movie tropes especially but taking it to such a dark and absurd level.
And what I find funny is that THIS is apparently the episode people thought went too far. The kids being sent to a concentration camp - sure. Christopher Reeves literally eating aborted fetuses for their stem cells - no problem. Cartment getting a kid's parents murdered and then feeding them to him - totally fine!
This doesn't even undermine the situation presented in the episode, the joke is how dark it is and how movies use these stories. I always crack up on how much everything escalates so quickly around Stan causing him constant confusion and discomfort.
And I think the ending is one of the funniest and darkest turns they've done.
I literally laughed out loud through this whole thing
I don't know what you guys are talking about this episode was very funny. I could see Trey Parker in the studio doing the movie man voice and I just giggled every time. I loved it when the children had to play the Red Wings at the end. So funny.
Stantley's Cup is the season finale of Season 10.After watching the excellent 2-part "Go God Go" episodes, I guess this one pales in comparison.It's an alright episode, just one of the worst ones.The episode is basically a spoof of the Mighty Ducks. Stan has to coach this pee wee hockey team because he lost his job as a paper boy after his bike got towed.One of the kids on his team is dying and his dying wish is for them to win the game.In response to the Hell on Earth Steve Irwin controversy, this episode has two jokes related to Steve Irwin's death.The ending is actually pretty disappointing and depressing and I will not spoil it here.Good episode but one of the worst ones.
A funny episode because of it's melodrama, brought down by a downer ending.
Stars: Trey Parker as Stan, Randy Marsh and Dr. Doctor. Matt Stone as Various, Kyle. Dimitri Mendoza as Various, Nelson, Ike.
This was a really funny episode. It was a spoof of those sports movies that all have the same plot, and the same ending. The plot is Stan becomes the coach of a kindergarten hockey team, after losing his bike and his paper route job. One of the team members, Nelson, is dying of cancer and Stan promises the team will win. We soon find that the team's winning directly affects whether or not Nelson lives. The end is obviously just doing the exact opposite of what happens in those movies, and is a real downer, but I guess the episode was amusing.
My rating: *** out of ****. TV MA.
South Park is apparently too deep for most people.
You are all idiots and very much missing the point. The episode is a satire about themselves. They are Stan. Watch it again and if you don't believe me tell me that Stan's dad is not representing the Simpsons. Watch it again and do you homework, do you really thing they would close the season they had with a meaningless episode?? People never seem to listen to them when they are really talking, if the rest of this country opened their ears, then Trey Parker and Matt Stone wouldn't close their, bow their heads, and sigh. Btw if you all don't remember the family guy episode, if you pull 1 episode where does it end? People wanted to now pull the Satan's party episode for the Steve Irwin joke. Knowing how South Park feels about pulling episodes, they will now include Steve Irwin jokes in every episode so they will have to pull the entire series off the air.. also none of the jokes about him are really offensive, most are really just mentions of the event. Watch the end of the season over again and do you homework next time.
