Funny or not?

Not everyone craps puppies and rainbows, it doesn't have to have a happy ending to be funny.

Most things with happy endings are NOT funny because they're too happy. However, I just don't find a 5 year old with cancer to be humorous.

South Park makes fun of everybody, kids with cancer was simply the next step.

That means squat man, c'mon. Would it have been diff if it were a movie or something else? That's a weak argument.
The fact that it's not only a cartoon, but a dumb one at that, should say volumes. They take great pride in offending people, and honestly you're falling right into their trap. Everytime I hear sh1t about them, I wonder why the hell people still watch that p.o.s.

It's tasteless, unfunny, I agree. But just switch it off. They made a channel button for a reason.
 
the only thing I found funny were the extended pauses between the Steve Irwin comments.

Exactly. People should expect this type of stuff from South Park by now. Hell it's been on 10 seasons.

See, I'm a huge fan of the show. I laugh at all the racial jokes, religion bashing, and everything else. Never before have I seen Matt and Trey do something that was just....mean. I'm hardly offended as I don't know what it's like to have/die from cancer. I just think the area isn't one for jokes.

South Park is the best show on comedy central.

I wish they had the balls to show a pic of mohammed.

Because you expected to see a happy ending where the kids win and the sick kid gets better.

Agreed. And hey, if anyone should be offended I think I'm in that category considering my uncle died from cancer and my mother had cancer this past year, but I'm not offended at all. Just don't find the subject of cancer to be funny at all.

Thats what SP does they do the complete opposite to what's expected. And thats why its so great.

I don't remember saying that. The kids losing is ok, they were playing a pro team. The kid with cancer could have just continued to have cancer at the end of the episode. Everybody knew he would most likely die, but only people like you enjoy seeing it.

All they have to do is have an episode poking fun at Alba's acting and appearance and you'd be up in arms protesting and you know it.
 
It's funny. If you have cancer and can't laugh at that joke, you deserve to die.

No i wouldn't. plus its just a cartoon. her names been mentioned a few times on Both Family Guy and American. And second why would they? She's not like Paris Hilton.

Well then I don't see the problem. I'm sure there are tons of other people out there that aren't offended by this, but are offended by other things SP has depicted.

Yeah, I remember Paris in "The stupid spoiled ****e play set".

True. The thing about this type of humor is that somebody's always gonna find it tasteless and unfunny. Up until now, I've never been that person. It was 10 seasons in the making.
 
I don't even understand the argument. Some people find it offensive, as is expected, and some people didn't. What's the big deal?:huh:

Yeah the part where she tried to buy butters and the ****e off between her and mr. slave. hilarious!

See, I almost didn't believe that anybody could laugh at this so I just wanted to find out(should have made a poll I guess). The point wasn't a debate/argument at all; just a simple "funny" or "not" and maybe a brief reason why.

I guess if some sickos could laugh at Columbine after it happened, anything has the potential to be "funny" :shrug:

and the "not funny" supporters have a bunch of posers and wannabees on their team. What's your point?
