Eric Cartman wants a Wii.

[Jennifer Walters]

The latest South Park, Nintendo Wii was featured prominently with Eric Cartman wanting a Wii really badly.

Suprising he didn't want a PS3 huh?

Is it up on YouTube?

I kind of wondered what South Park would treat the Wii, seeing as how they use Xbox 360 as the characters' console of choice (they are seen playing with it on several episodes.)

its on right now... its pritty decent. he gets stuck in the future, and will everything they have, all he wants is a nintendo wii

So they went with Wii as opposed to the PS3. That is the hot item most people are saying the kiddies want this holiday. Playstation is just a rehash.

Give it a day.

There's an encore tomorrow night at 10.

Heh, it's kinda ironic Cartman tried to freeze himself for 3 weeks and earlier today I said I wanted to be in a come until the day before the Wii came out.

I was very surprised he wanted a Wii instead of the PS3, before he wanted a PSP. Also, are you sure you'll see it on YouTube, they just pulled all Comedy Central content.

What about Metacafe?

 

[Shifty]

I thought I heard Comedy Central put it back.

Try that link sometime tomorrow, but I'm sure plenty of websites will have clips or the entire episode up also.

I just got through seeing it. If Part II continues the same story and doesn't go with the evolution/God themes too much, it should also feature a lot of Wii. But it was a very funny episode all the same. Ironically, though, I saw a lot of commercials during the broadcast that were from rival companies, including PS3 and Gears of War ads.

Adult Swim on Cartoon Network did a Wish-List for this holiday season, and Wii made the list. Xbox 360 and PS3 were nowhere to be found.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The Wii story was just a backdrop for Cartman to freez himself and go to the future.

 

[Shifty]

My chubby younger brother Eric who wants a Wii should enjoy.

 

[iambilly81]

i also thought it was kind of a rip saying, how everyone is saying the wii is the future of gaming, and in the future they could care less about gaming.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The point they are going for is that even if everyone was atheist, there would still be wars. Religion is not the cause for war, it is just the excuse that humans use to go to war.

It's also ironic that you'd bring up that Cartman would want a Wii, since he's the 'big-boned', annoying kid that basically is hated by his own friends.

Remember kids, you can be like him and get a Wii!

[Not the best message, eh?]

 

[Spidey-Bat]

He didn't get a Wii though.

 

[Extromaniac]

That's true, but he will.

He will.

Yet, strangely enough, he's one of the most beloved characters in pop culture.

Most people love the character though. He's the one most real life people are like as far as their darker desires. And most gaming geeks take after him anyway. I know it makes me want one more. And I hardly doubt his endorsement will cause sales to drop.

Actually, I'm not exactly sure of that. I've never heard anyone reference him, ever, actually.

That is true. More people watch South Park than the commercials for it. So Nintendo got lucky since they basically got free advertisement.

Highly unlikely. Those commercials are on every waking moment of the day. There has to be one person who does not watch South Park that sees them. At least one.

Anyway, my point still stands. You can be like Cartman (which isn't bad, the killing people and conniving is great) and have everyone in your immediate universe hate you, only to have an overlord-ian civilization be watching with rapture. Chew on that one.
