"Death by Boredom" is legit one of the most underrated Kenny death gags. That whole live action sequence was a total fever dream.
i think the boredom death is one of the best death's :)
That is Kenny's best death.
I also love how even though he's dead, after stan reveals he did all this for an ipod nano, they cut to kenny laying there w/ a disappointed expression lol it's too good
"...Kenny McCormick has died of boredom."
Such an abstract way to kill Kenny, I love it.
Will you do an episode with Kitty Monk or Lydia as your guest stars since you've been in their videos
My favorite joke of this episode is how the Diet Double Dew is just regular Mountain Dew lmao
The first time I saw the episode, I lost it with that joke
That is the only redeeming line
Dew the math
The 'dew the math' gets me every time lmao
lol nah! Double dew is double the caffine as normal dew. Diet double dew is half the caffine as a double dew. I mean...it has the regular mountain dew caffine but its...DIET!?! and double...kills me every time
Bro the ziplining episode hit me hard. While I didn't identify with the ziplining aspect, the idea of being corralled and trapped in a boring activity with family or friends that you initially were on board for definitely hits. That was me the only time I went to Disney World.
you’re so different
@@Samuel-lz9bb uh....thank...you
You handled that comment like a champ 😂 @@mikeyjohnson5888
Same thing happened to me at worlds of fun. Literally stood in line with a friend I found out I wasn’t good friends with anymore. Shit was an hour our long tragedy 😂😂😂
If you can't find fun at Disneyland then you're at least 50% nazi.
I'm an outdoor instructor. I loved the episode because of how accurately they made fun of of us which they hadn't really done before, apart from the Aspen episode which doesn't count because I can't ski XD. But the bit where the guide says, "we don't really have much time but who would like to learn about the biology of this tree?" was so on point, I showed it to all my colleagues because that is almost word for word what happens. -cheers from the UK.
I mean atleast we can all unanimously agree that the pip episode was the absolute worst
I don’t know whether me being English myself contributing to the hating that episode or if I would have anyway but unanimous is the opposite to polarizing
No. This episode more interesting that much new episodes lol
Easily
@kenny gaming why because you didn’t even die in that episode?
i give 'pip' like a 6/10, it's not a masterpiece, but it's pretty funny and i really love pip, he's such a silly little guy
Matt and Trey both said when they went zip lining they were bored as hell doing it. So this episode is just them making us live through it. So if you thought it was boring, then that’s what they wanted you to feel
Come on bro... In that way you can defend everything
So they make a purposely boring non-watching episode? That is ridiculous
@Trueblade "What do you mean the writers want me to understand what they feel?" it's ridiculously simple.
@@certified0093 bro, you can't happy if the creators would *purposely make you feel bored*
@Trueblade ...yes. you will figure this out very soon i suspect.
@@certified0093 yeez. That people would go to such lengths to defend some creator.
"Why do people say "long story short"? They're not making it short, Stan!"
Long story short is tl;dr but in real life
@@det_tf2and they're both equally as dumb :3
A fun fact about this episode is that the boat the live actors were on belonged to Trey's dad, Randy Parker, whom Stan's dad is based on.
I had no idea the episode was a direct reference but I still found it very funny because it parodies any over-the-top reality TV
I agree, when I originally saw it, I didn’t know it was parodying a particular show, just the over the top “survivalist” show genre. Like, all of them have stuff like the narration, interviews, shaky cam, etc, it’s not like it’s hard to get what they’re satirizing
@@tiablue9106 yea i thought it was a survivor parody
@@tiablue9106fr 😭😭
No yeah I felt the same way lol
Same
Had no idea this is what you considered the most polarizing episode. I absolutely love this episode, the style and the humor.
There’s something about it, man. This episode is a lot of peoples favorite, and it’s most definitely mine too. I have no idea why, it’s a normal episode, but it’s just so charming and funny.
It’s true a lot of people don’t like it. I love every South Park episode but this is probably one episode I really don’t care for it’s the one I skip
mtn dew joke had me crying laughing lmao
Cartman just fundamentally not understanding the math is hilarious.
Math? Nah, im defiant to dew it
The live action reenactment is my favorite bit, the actors are perfect parodies. I have to stop everything and watch it. Then when Kyle says "How many ipod nanos is friendship worth? I guess one." Kills me every time. I freaking love this episode, I get excited every time it cycles through my endless loop of South Park
then stan crying saying "the worst part of it is you can't take it back!...I mean, it was a 5th generation so you can't trade it in anywhere" dude still feels worse abt the ipod nano turning out to be lame than the fact he betrayed his friends lol just adds to the hilarity
Diet Double Dew is one of the more underrated jokes.
Read the comments.
I've never seen the show they were parodying but I still found it pretty funny. Cartman screaming out in frustration after the fifth or sixth "long story short" is one of my favorite moments
Followed by the live action scene, lol 😂
There are a few shows with similar concepts so i got the joke. It's one of many, many very funny South Park episodes.
Yeah I never saw that show, yet I understood exactly what they were parodying
I’ve never seen the show nor gone zip lining but someone really has to be brain dead to not understand what they’re getting at
"im so f'cking bored!" Was my favorite
I never went ziplining or saw I Shouldn't Be Alive, but I still love this episode. I just like the juxtaposition of a generally relatable "boring trip" with an over-dramatic framing. The live action segment is what really puts it over the top to a classic.
This, i never saw the show they parody nor have i went zipling because that doesn't exist here, but i still loved the episode because i can still believe how absolutely boring it must be. I can imagine the pain of being stuck in that boring situation with people you despise but have to be nice to. And for them to then turn it into a documentary acting like they're in severe danger of death is funny. Simple as.
The live action was a bit weird but nothing too bad.
@@BryanVonFriently it is 100% consistent with my experience ziplining in gradeschool
Pretty much sums up what I came up say.
There's enough context clues in the episode to understand why you should agree with it's themes IF you find those things tiresome or boring. Thus making it funny to you that the boys are acting so hyperbolic about it.
Sure you might get a slight increase in your amusement if your empathic to them as a shared survivor of this 'traumatic experience' 😅 but got didn't need it.
Oioo😊
same
Until watching this video I had no idea that they were referencing a specific show, I just thought that it was combining multiple reality shows that involved survivors combined with the overall relativity of going on a tour only to think that it sucked, not specifically ziplining and that worked for me
I personally loved this episode because having listened to their mini commentary several times over and how they discussed incorporating actual vacations they had onto the show (ie Flea from RHCP telling Trey he should go to the rainforest cause he would love it, and ended up hating it inspiring their season 3 premiere episode) I could instantly tell that this was something that Trey or Matt actually went through and couldnt stop cracking up
Where can you listen to their mini commentary?
@@theagfun Just search for south park commentary on RUclips

I can't say I can technically relate to the boys in this episode. But I LOVE when south park does the "making a mountain out of a molehill" thing where just small inconveniences or threats are taken super seriously. This episode is a classic if you ask me. I like the episodes where you can tell it's directly inspired by something Matt or Trey experienced irl anyways
Best live action sequence in the show is the VR episode. That was also my introduction to South park when my dad was watching it, and the ending always gets me.
@@totallytravicious5919 That one is actually one of my least favourites. I just think they could have done more with the "simulation in a simulation"-formula, because even back then it was kinda done in so many ways.
I wached he discovery show, so i go he joke insantly, its what made the episode most funny o me, he sheer accuracy and details how hey recreated the shows format and pacing jusctaposed by the mundaine situation made it a great parody.
@Chris aka Schulbus oh yeah for sure I agree. It just being my introduction to the show I didn't really nnotice. Looking back it's an ok episode but I know now that south park has had some high fucking peaks
@@totallytravicious5919 But did you have the orgasm before or after you ate the burger?
I really hope the answer isn't "while" ...
As someone who actually worked as a "zip line hooker upper/naturalist", the episode was incredibly accurate and HILARIOUS. My job was to literally walk people around and tell them about trees and stuff before finally sending them down the zipline. Live action at the end kind of went off the rails for me, though.
Hilarious 😂
off the rails? you mean off the ropes! sorry, couldn't help myself....I think it was a nice touch. Showed how crazy the whole event made them
My man you deserve a purple heart, thank you for your sacrifice
You were a hooker on a zipline? Jesus... you got skills.
ill be completely honest, this is by far my favorite episode from the entire show. I love how it's narration and style of editing is so "serious" yet not at the same time, it's absolutely hilarious 😭😭
This episode will always be a personal favorite of mine. It actually aired the same week that me and my friends were going on a school trip to go ziplining LOL
"if I take a crap in the woods the blood will attract beavers" is still one of the funniest isolated three seconds in the show. It's also just incredibly accurate to going on tours and stuff like that
And then during the live action section IT DOES ATTRACT BEAVERS!
“Kenny has died of boredom” the greatest line in the entire history of South Park.
I remember catching up on South Park episodes.
And this episode just stood out in terms of how much it made me laugh.
I loved "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining".
We moved to Colorado 4 years ago and this episode saved me. My wife wanted to do all these things and so far, we have done none. Perfect
I genuinely don't get how anyone can hate this episode. Its not awful, its not perfect either. To me, its just quite average.
I guess the people who hate it don’t understand the parody.
Agreed, I love the episode but it is mid
Same
Well there has to be a worst episode amongst the entire run of the show, but it seems like every time someone picks one out, someone comes along and says it’s their favorite.
its not average its great
me and my sister were on a trip a few years ago and my parents wanted to be alone for a little bit so they made us zip line for hours. we were so excited, until we saw how long it took, how many people, and how boring it was. i find this episode very relatable and will forever defend it.
Is it not fun to see people zip down?
Zip lining is fun imo, but I can imagine it getting quite boring on a guided tour group. Like I'd rather wait in a line to do it once than with the same group lol.
@@TheManInBlueFlamesno lmao
Yea this episode by trey parker really captures just how boring and tedious ziplining is, by making this 20 minute episode feel like 12 hours and never having an enjoyable moment throughout the whole experience.
@@totally_not_putin what
Love that you added those cs clips at the end :D cs is love
I’m laughing at you just describing the episode 😂😂😂
This is a classic.
The "to make a long story short" always kills me💀
This episode captures the experience of so many group tours, not just ziplining. Reminded me of kayaking/biking/hiking tours ive been on. Definitely one of my favorites and im shocked people dont find it more relatable.
It also reminded me of horse riding before they even got to the horse riding. I think many kids have experienced excitement over going horse riding, imagining running free with the wind in your hair, only to have some woman slowly walk you around on a lethargic pony.
That's what I was thinking too, there are tons of experiences I've had that are similar to this. Another thing is that even though it's not parodying the most popular show in the world, there are tons of shows that are very similar.
so true, even in National parks...I went to Yosamite and there was more people there than all the surrounding cities combines. Had to stand in line, like it was a zoo and not a park. Turn the corner, take a picture of this tree and rock...but be nice to the 100 people in front and behind you.
it was the worst excuse for a "Park" I had ever seen. I will never go to any popular national park again. If I am gonna do something, I will do it alone and not with a group of random people...no cruises either :(
I do them, and enjoy it.
It's only relatable if you've done those things.
I haven’t watched this episode since the night it aired, but it’s always stuck out to me as one I remembered loving. I’ve never been ziplining and I’ve never heard of the show it’s parodying lmao. Great video!!
I had no idea this was a parody, but it so perfectly encapsulated the feeling of what it's like to be dragged to an activity you have absolutely no interest in, especially as a child. I love it for that
No way people hate it it’s genuinely one of my favorite episodes 😭
fr, I would have picked that summer camp episode with towlie and the special ed kids, that one was painfully ass
@@BigT.Larrity That's one of my favorites lmao
Tbh it kinda relies on you knowing what it's parodying if you don't it's probably just nowhere near as funny.
It's a z tier épisode only good part is the live action part
@@habijjj i had no idea it was parodying a specific show i just thought the idea of a reality tv south park was so funny 😭😭 and also i knew general shows like it so when it showed the diagrams of kyle smiling i literally cried 😭 it was just such an absurd episode that i think appeals to my super idiotic brain
I’ve never gone ziplining before and I’ve never seen the show that is getting parodied, but I still think it’s hilarious. I think anyone can relate to the idea of boredom or making a decision that you regret. Which is exactly what happens in the episode. I feel like that’s a simple enough reason to call it relatable. Expecting Matt and Trey to cater all their episodes to our liking is expecting a bit too much in my opinion. I thought the episode did a fine job entertaining people. Even though it’s not one of the best episodes, its definitely not one of the worst
I went ziplining at Gatorland a couple months ago. It was awesome. I wish I had signed up earlier to do the tour.
Me and my friends loved this episode. But we were both big fans of “I shouldn’t be alive” and had recently gone zip lining when the episode came out. At the time it was so coincidental it was creepy.
If as a child you had to sit through your dad watching this style of discovery channel show for hours on end, this ep is goated
You guys remember "A Haunting"
Mayday: Air Disasters 😂
the narrations of cartman farts going to kyle’s nose is absolutely amazing
I worked at a post house that produced unscripted TV when I saw this episode. I couldn't stop laughing at how accurate this episode is to the reality formula.
The interview, the transitions, the sfx, the recreations were just amazing.
Just had a watch. I loved it. Feels like the writers just got together to talk about trips they instantly regretted.
This episode was really funny and one of my favorites. The creativity with it being a survival styled episode was hilarious, but when they cut to the live action reenactment I just lost it.
Diet double dew with half the amount of double dew, that’s one of the most South Park things ever right up there with “ I’m getting a raging clue”
This is one of my absolute favourite episodes. I genuinenly think about atleast one part of that episode every month/few months. But I must agree that what makes this episode so good is that I have seen I shouldn't be alive. Which is why I enjoyed this parody alot.
I have however always had problems with putting people on to this episode, as many people hadn't seen the show and thus didn't enjoy it as much.
I’ve heard apparently this episode was also inspired by a traumatic experience that Matt and Trey actually had to go through. They decided to one day go zip lining with their wives and they found it really boring. A lot of the things that happened in the episode (i.e. people asking redundant questions and making the trip go longer) actually happened to them.
But I just really love how this episode seems to parody a lot of those survival reality shows that follow the same sort of formula. Actors reenacting experiences that some survivors had to go through while the actual survivors talk about their experience behind the scenes. And what these boys had to go through is actually so trivial seeing it be over exaggerated like this was so hilarious in my opinion.
don’t call it a traumatic experience lol. That phrase has been completely diluted to mean a mild inconvenience which gets in the way of people who actually have been through trauma
@@nate6360 That was the joke you clown lol
@@nate6360 I was being sarcastic 😐
I should have never gone ziplining is so awful while also being really creative and unironically funny its one of the most mixed episodes in the entire show
Like, it has this perfect balance between good and bad comedy, and i cant tell if its intentional or not considering what it contains(Like that oldman that tells really long short stories). Though the live action segment is hilarious.
It reminded me of shows similar to this nature but not the exact source material it's parodying, I understood what it was about based off of similar shows of this type.
omg famous micro celebrity concon 99
What do you mean by "unironically funny"?
@@ornifer5677 I don’t want to hear it
You don't need to know the exact show this was parodying. There are a bajillion shows with a similar format. And who tf hasn't been to an annoying group activity before. They are almost unavoidable if you have family and/or went to school.
I never knew there were people who disliked this episode. I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy this masterpiece.
I thought it was great 🤷♂️
I remember when it first came out, I thought it was one of the very best right away-up there with Woodland Critter Christmas and Passion of the Jew and a few others.
Years later, seeing people on the Internet say they hated this episode, I honestly thought they were talking about a different one.
I know this is by far one of the BEST episodes ever... original and true
As someone who has been on a zipline hiking tour, I really liked this episode. That is until the live action segment, which is just awful in my opinion.
right i love it
This episode was insanely relatable to me. I went on a Washington D.C. tour once and it was pretty boring. They woukdnt let us go to the places we wanted us to go (i wanted to go to the holocaust museum) but the tour guide wouldn't really let us do anything but show us the same marble buildings. I liked the buildings and all, but jeez i was so insanely bored on that tour. I wanna go back to D.C, but im gonna go alone or with my family. Not on a tour
Besides the tour guide needing to keep things logistically feasible and avoid possibly infringing on the rules of certain attractions, that museum in particular costs money and operates on reservations so it wouldn't have worked anyway. If you come back I recommend researching some places you want to go ahead of time. Most of the tourist stuff is very close together, either around downtown or along the national mall just south of it, so in between those you've got easy opportunities to free roam. A lot of the other popular stuff is easy to get to on the metro, which costs just a couple dollars per trip on average. All the biggest museums are completely free
@ninu yeah. All the stuff I wanted to look at (the Holocaust museum and the MLK memorial) weren't in our time slot, so we kinda had to rush around so we could see what the tour guide was required to show us. That was the last day on the tour, sadly. So the next morning, we had to pack up and leave.
Yeah, don’t go to DC on a tour like that unless you can find tours specifically in the museums you wanna see. You’re better off wandering on your own or going with someone you trust that knows DC well
But that's most of what DC is about. Beautiful marble buildings. What did you expect?
@Nonamearisto I was wanting to go look around at the museums and such. The buildings and all are truly amazing and hold a lot of history, but the tour guide just made it seem boring
I remember watching this episode and not remembering the live action stuff at the end (this was a couple years after I watched the entire series) and I was blown away. I've never seen "I shouldn't be alive", but I'm familiar with other shows in that dramatized genre. Still though, I think this episode is pretty damn funny. The humor is spot on (now knowing the series it parodies) and adds that classic SP style we all know and love
When you did that ranking video I was like “yo, what?!” Like 5 times 🤣
I'm a german kid who was raised by south park.. i didn't knew about the parody and never went ziplining but i LOVED this episode and it'll be forever one of the best episodes

@@hikarey7173 never went to mainz because i thought it's boring lol 💀
What i'm wondering is how people can't associate Zip lining with any other boring group activity. Surely they've been on some kind of outdoors thing that took way too long and made you talk with people you found really annoying. I've never been zip lining but i still found the feeling of being stuck in a long boring situation relatable and funny.
I mean if they never been ziplining I’m sure camping was boring to them.
Some people dont have life experiences... Their existence is brought up to work, work and die. Thats their entire 40-95 years average on this planet.
Its a humbling and scary thing to know. People arent equal. Our intelligence and self awareness divide us infinitely.
I think you may find a lot of people haven't experienced such trips.
Fr it’s not that deep it’s just a silly episode of South Park
Just makes me think of going on a swamp gator boat ride. Whole experience kinda similar
Diet Double Dew is a joke I repeat even to this day
as someone who was on many trips like this, that episode was extremely relatable
The live action part was surprising and yet so funny. And actor who played Kyle deserved an award he really put his whole actussy into being Kyle for 10 minutes. The intensity of his performance was on another level.
I’m going to need you to never say that again and you know what I’m talking about
What a horrible day to have the ability to read
Really threw that actussy back into it.
Actussy… thanks for that new one.

Fun With Weapons - When it cuts from Professor Chaos to Butters just standing there with the shuriken in his eye.... I still don't think anything has ever made me laugh harder.
exactly :D
as a huge fan of community, this is one of my fav episodes. i love parody episodes that are dramatically different format
I have been watching these videos back to back. I have never seen an episode of South Park in full. I do not know why I am so engrossed with content but I appreciate it anyway
When I first saw this ep I was with my dad who had never seen the show. Absolutely laughed our asses off and couldn’t breathe at the live action part. IMO it’s still good but flawed in some areas, had no idea this was a polarizing episode
The live action segment of this episode is goated. The actors nail the characters so well
I agree with the opposite of everything you just said.
idk, i think mr hankey was cast perfectly
This episode isn't the normal laugh out loud funny, but if you know this show(or this documentary format) and can relate to being stuck in a terrible event with a dull tour group it becomes so much better and funnier.
Never heard of that show but I still got most of the references since these are tropes used in a 100 different reality shows. Interviews and narrators repeating everything is used everywhere. x-rays remind me of Sport Science and live reenactments with bad actors are used in crime shows
I personally have never watched "I Shouldn't Be Alive" so I don't understand every reference, but I find the fact that everything is taken so seriously even though it's such a trivial thing very funny
There's so much stupid shit going on that you really don't know what's coming next, and it gets dumber and dumber, but it's still serious in its presentation. Especially the end with the live action I find so funny for exactly that reason, the actors stay serious although it's really the stupidest thing I've ever seen
I found Mr Hanky a bit too disgusting but I mean he's a legit turd, so yeah
As someone who has never seen nor heard of “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” until now, I thought this episode was making fun of those over dramatic survival shows. I personally thought it was one of the better episodes of South Park, but I didn’t know that the episode has mixed reviews with the fandom. I honestly thought the general consciousness about this episode was average to decent.
@@burnypython8230 the only area where I can see ppl rlly thoroughly disliking this ep is, as the vid suggests, the first chunk. bc if u don't get the parody angle u might not get why the ep is focusing so much on minute things like the boys' neurons and cartman's digestive system and other little stuff. they might see it as a waste of time when it's rly adding to the accuracy of the parody. I think it's p obvious what it's going for and find it hilarious but I GUESS I can see how some ppl might've thought it needed a b-plot or smth
I know Mr Hankey was disgusting at the end but to me it was one of the funniest bits in South Park just cutting to an actual turd
I've been Ziplining once and I found it fun, such a rush. But I still found this episode enjoyable to watch
ziplining is so fun and the episode hit the nail right on the head for everything other than actually getting on the zipline
@@jamiegreenberg8476 When I was at Ziplining, it was at a Summer Camp so I didn't get an hour long safety video or insufferable tour guide
The commentary on this episode makes it so much funnier.
Going ziplining or rock climbing or anything like that can be great, but only in a small group. Once you cram 40 people on a walking path where it only moves as fast as the slowest person, you're gonna have a bad time.
I think that kind of trips are better when you want a moment away to think about your life or something.
Or when you get to set up at least a couple things instead of waiting for others to do everything.
And lastly, going to that kind of trip with someone you want to know better may be pretty cool, as everything becomes new when you are with someone that gives a new perspective.
I have never actually watched an episode of South Park, never saw “I Shouldn’t be Alive”, and never gone ziplining. Even still, this episode sounds hilarious. Something about the complete absurdity of it all is enough to make me laugh just hearing about it.
This episode has always been one of my favorites, when I was younger my family would tend to go out on tours or simply explore areas you don’t normally go to. So that being the case, you can imagine how bored I was on said tours, having experienced what was shown in the episode, I can say with absolute certainty that it accurately represents the experience. Though the only inaccuracy is that it doesn’t go the entire way with it, the escape before they really experience it, after all they didn’t leave when it was already pretty late into the night.
This episode more than most of the others is really memorable. Sometimes it just pops into my head without even thinking about it, and sometimes I wish Hanky would just show up and save me from the tedium I’m experiencing at the time.
I'm sorry the delivery of the live action "You killed kenny!..YOU BASTARD! YOU BASTARD!" Was amazing
You are forgiven.
I honestly tend to use this episode as an intro to the series. It gives a really good look at every boy’s personality so well it’s a good launching pad
is that really a good idea since it’s so different from how south park episodes actually are? i mean it might make them not be interested in the show there’s probably better episodes to show the boys personality’s and dynamics
Its a really shit episode. Its not obvious its a parody, the joke is repetative and it gets old real fast
@@angelacid15yeah it makes no sense
if someone showed me this as an intro id just think south park is stupid and boring, even though i really like the live action part
This is might be my favorite South Park episode of all time. It's crazy how so many people hate this episode, and how they're all wrong.
Reminds me a bit of the gag in smiling friends when they sit at the airport.
How could you forget the BEAVERS joke? It was quite literally the most fire joke in the episode and it didn't even get a message. Cartman literally explains away the reason he can't simply shit in the woods because of beavers which is seemingly viewed as ludicrous by the others, but in the live action segment, when we get that beautiful depiction of Cartman shitting over the edge of boat in live action, we get the pay off as Kenny screams out BEAVERS!
It was built up to and executed well. Quite literally the peak of the episode is that moment Cartman attracts Beavers with his diarrhea.
The fact is that I didn't even know it was referencing to a show, but it was still one of my favorite episode and i laughed A LOT
Yeah, Bloom completely missed what made the episode funny in the first place... If he didn't even understand what made this funny his sense of humor is so wack that I don't even want to know what he finds funny
You do'nt even have to have seen the "I shouldn't be alive" show to love this ep. All those dramatic re-enactment/'based on a true story" TV shows of the 2000s followed the same format. That said, I loved this episode. I was shocked to hear so many people didn't like it, but this video does a good job explaining why.
I don't see how anyone 5yrs below to over my age (29) couldn't at least recognize the styling of this episode is parodying a TV show, even if they may not know which one. Its surprising that this formatting of a Discovery/History Channel-esque show isnt immediately recognizable to someone.
Its more metacommentary. You're SUPPOSED to be bored, you are experiencing the same pain. But like suffering through any shared experience, you can reflect afterwards and laugh about the funny moments.
sooo many reality tv shows are like that, u don't gotta understand the exact show they were referencing to understand 💀💀
This is easily one of south parks best episodes. Not sure how anyone could not like it. It’s hilarious and it’s a classic parody of another show. This episode is perfect.
Objectively wrong not funny boring and shit all round
Meh, most of the episodes from seasons 13-16 are pretty boring and unwatchable. But I respect your opinion.
And after season 16 the show just dies
This is like the "That Mitchell and Webb Look - The Gift Shop Sketch" of South Park
1; I haven't really seen southpark since season 13-ish
2: I just found your channel and am having a ball binging you and joey2cellos.
Thanks for the recommendation on joey2cellos btw.
This is one of the most memorable South Park episodes I’ve watched, and I can confirm zip lining is only fun if you just do it once and if it’s over a pool over water that you can skim across
I am fairly certain that i don’t find a single episode unwatchable or bad. They always get me with their absurdist humor
Same exept f&t hate those guys
@@user-ys7eh9kx9p? You hate Trey Parker and Matt Stone? What are you doing on a South Park video then?
@@eliasfranceschhe’s talking about terrance and phillip which are pretty fairly annoying
IDK man the pip episodes were awful, terrance and phillip are low tier cringe shit these days. I'll say they hit more than they miss but there is still the occasional episode where it just drags along.
@@zacharysimmons9195 Oh mb. I'm so stupid, didn't see the "f&t". I agree those episodes are really boring and a pain to watch.
I didn't even know it was an 1on1 parody till now but I remember this episode being one of my favourites😂.
Oh man, this is a great episode! Whenever live footage is in an episode, it is always off the rails 😂
"Richard!"
I LOVE that episode. Kyle's forced smile was very relatable. The live action bit was funny for a while but it dragged on a bit too long and the brunette Kenny is unforgivable. We blondes deserve proper representation DAMNIT!
I can't tell if you're joking but blondes are literally the most popular thing in the world blue eyes blonde hair, american woman and men and germans like blondes are literally the most loved so if you aren't joking just shut up and if you are it was not funny at all no one gives a fuck abt blondes y'all are the basic original beauty standard when it comes down to hair
Blondes need representation?
@@proving9606 r/woosh
It is joke
I’m a blond but I like brunette Kenny
I did not know this episode had haters. It's pure art.
So for 3 years in my 20s I lived in a house with 2 of my buddies. We always had people coming & going. The TV was pretty much always on & tuned to Comedy Central. Every time an episode of South Park came on, which was a lot, I’d say “ Hell yeah this is the best one”. It became a running thing in the house every South Park episode is the best one.
I loved this episode, I had just gone ziplining for the first time in Colorado and I thought it was boring as hell, I could go downhill faster on a bicycle. Then a few months later this episode came out and I just knew Trey Parker & Matt Stone must have also just gone ziplining in Colorado and thought the same thing when they created this episode.
As someone who has never been ziplining, I still felt the pain of the experience. It genuinely looked like a horrific experience so I still very much enjoyed the episode
Not going to lie it's one of my favorite episodes and I never even been zip lining nor will I ever try that
imo this is easily a top 10 episode of the show, absolutely love it
U forgot the last aspect as to why people would hate the episode, because they are the annoying people on guides asking dumb questions or won’t stop talking and fell they are being attacked. This episode is gold
I think I liked this episode so much cause I went on a zip line tour JUST like this and it’s so relatable and funny
dude i didnt even know this episode was parodying a whole different show and i still found it funny af therefore its my fav episode
As someone born in 2007 and grown up in the UK, I knew nothing about the show they were referencing. But this video has helped give me a new perspective on it. I've always loved the live action segment.
This episode is legitimately hilarious. Got into South Park after my dog was put down. This episode got the first laugh out of me.
I honestly relate to this episode so hard cause my family used to go on trips like these all the time and as a kid. I had a attention span of a housefly, it was really boring and painful
I never watched the show they were spoofing, but it's pretty obvious the kind of show it is, I can't believe someone wouldn't get it
I live the bit where poop particles start going in kyles nose and you get the cgi close ups. Very of the time with these discovery/animal planet shows.
This episode brought back all my trauma of going on boring guided tours with my parents, so I love it.
I love the kony 2012 type reference at the end lol
Imagine how shocked that narrator was when they contacted him for this gig.
