    This episode is a "sorta"-spoof of the 1984 film Red Dawn, which is referenced alot in the episode, both indirectly and directly. It's also an episode of South Park (so no, it doesn't get cocky but it sure gets in your face).

    I don't understand the message of this episode, maybe it's to prove that even though old people drive like crap that they still have rights too? And maybe that AARP is like the former soviet union that is going to take over our country by taking our townsfolk hostage? Who knows? All I know is, I had buttload of fun.moreless

  • Get Off the Streets! Old People are Driving!!

    This is one of the funniest episodes of South Park ever. My most favorite part is Randy Marsh yelling, "Get off the streets! Old people are driving!!" And then he brought the boys to safety in an old house. So many seniors driving their cars are everywhere. They keep crashing in, but Randy and the boys manage to avoid the car attacks. After taking away their licenses, old people from A.A.R.P., the American Association of Retired Persons, take over the whole city of South Park. It was all up to the boys to save everybody.

    I was laughing really hard while watching old people driving and killing other people. Stan's right that his dad shouldn't treat his grandpa like a child, and made his grandpa realize that when he gets behind the wheel, he's a killing machine.moreless

    Excessive auto accidents by senior citizens is forcing the state of Colorado to prohibit people over 70 from driving/having a drivers license. That leads to an outrage from senior citizens of South park and the AARP. As i said in the summary, I was planning to watch the episode before this, "Christian Rock Hard" on my local UPN station that syndicates South Park. However, I accidentally programmed my VCR to record it the day after, so i ended up watching this episode. I was glad this episode was at least funny, especially the wacky antics by the seniors citizens. And the wacky behavior of Stan's dad. I'm pretty glad I came upon this episode by accident. Now, I hope I can watch "Christian Rock Hard" pretty soon, I think that ep can be better.moreless

    • Halloween: When Randy opens the door to find a dead body hanging down, it is similar to a scene in the popular 1978 horror movie Halloween. Edit
    • Aliens: Cartman: Mostly hippies go to farmers markets.....mostly When Cartman repeats "mostly" after saying hippies go to farmers markets it is very similar to when Newt says "And they mostly come at night...mostly" in the 1986 film Aliens. Edit
    • Braveheart: Old guy with beard: You can take our licenses but you'll never take our pride. This sentence was also used in the 1995 film Braveheart, only a little bit changed. "They may take away our lives, but they'll never take our freeeedoooomm." Edit
