Why does BRTD think South Park glorifies the smoking of tobacco?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Holy f**k this is Anvilicious. Even worse than I remembered. Why not make the parents remotely realistic instead of thin strawmen? And I'm only about 6 minutes in.

Who wants to be 80 anyway?

OMG ROB REINER COMPLAINS ABOUT TOBACCO WHILE HE EATS BIG MACS THAT ARE ALSO UNHEALTHY! LOLZ THAT IS SO IRONIC! HE'S A HYPOCRITE, LULZ LULZ LULZ.

And this crap has been around for 14 years now.

[they don't love you like i love you]

...and now smoking is banned in bars in Colorado! Haha, great.

BRTD, doesn't like the caricaturing of someone he agrees with.....

[they don't love you like i love you]

Uh yeah the tobacco company employees are like mindless robots who love their jobs and just sing all day about how great it is. And the anti-tobacco people are all evil zombies. Yeah really balanced.

It wouldn't be so bad if they caricatured the tobacco companies fairly too...

[they don't love you like i love you]

So apparently anti-tobacco people kill innocent people just to make their anti-smoking points more valid. Except that doesn't happen. So what exactly is the point being made?

[they don't love you like i love you]

OK so it's over. It's still very stupid and I didn't laugh once.

And they think Bush wanted to bomb heaven.

I'm now going to watch a Family Guy episode to cleanse myself of that crap and enjoy something that's actually funny.

Thanks for the play by play.

This episode is arguably pro-life (It shows Stewie being conscious and aware in the womb.) yet I'm not offended because I've actually laughed at a rate of more than once a minute. Unlike South Park.

lol drawing conclusions based off nothing plot devices.

Well I consider Pulp Fiction a Christian propaganda piece.

lolllll BRTD, I love ya man.  You're a conspiracy theorist in the most awesomeway possible

[they don't love you like i love you]

"Hey Lois look! The two symbols of the Republican Party: An elephant and a big, fat white guy whose threatened by change!"

Hahahaha that never gets old. That alone is funnier than the entire series of South Park combined.

That episode you're watching is a classic.  10 years ago, when Family Guy was at its peak.

So? Do you think that somehow believing in multiple stupid things will make them somehow less stupid?

You know what Jmf and BRTD have in common?

One is taking the Bible literally, the other TV series. Both are doing this without deeper thinking or showing even a slightest ability to understand references or hidden context.

To throw fuel onto the fire...

Family Guy is far, far more offensive than South Park is. It is offensive in myriad ways and is profoundly stupid (though funny on occasion especially in the first three series or so). I agree that Butt out isn't one of the best South Park episodes and the quality of the last few series' has deteriorated quite a bit (Since Team America: World Police I think... that was really Parker/Stone first real misstep. That, and the guys are in their 40s... they just can't do toilet humour like they used to any more). Yet I still some of the best South Park episodes are, however superficial they may appear, far more intelligent and accurate on the contemporary world situation than anything else on Television right now. This is despite the fact that I don't always agree with them (Margaritaville and Imaginationland being brilliant examples of this. The former especially, while not a perfect episode, knocks out more truths about the recession in 22 minutes than news programs or 'quality television' ever have and ever can).

Here we go again...

From the wikipedia page on the film:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

That is, to say, the biblical reference is merely yet another meaningless movie reference.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Well I consider Pulp Fiction a Christian propaganda piece.

Yes, of course, an eccentric gangster bible quote makes it a Christian propaganda piece

BRTD, I wonder, if in some movie one character would say "I oppose abortion", would you then condiser the movie, on just that narrow basis, as an anti-abortion propganda piece, regardless of all other context?

[they don't love you like i love you]

My reason for considering Pulp Fiction to be Christian propaganda has nothing to do with the Bible verse. Rather it's because of the message of seeking redemption and being given a second chance by God. Samuel L Jackson takes and accepts this, John Travolta doesn't, and we see what happens to him.

Doesn't contradict anything I said earlier. That is just pastiche. This are no ideas in Pulp Fiction as far as I can see other than "retro is awesome", "how cool was this movie reference" and "Look! I've watched Bande a Part/anyotherfilmcited". Which isn't to say the film isn't well made or designed or anything like that.
