  • South Park gets some funds for pumping World of Warcraft and Blizzard.

    "Poor"
    By BillyGilmore, May 25, 2011 Report Abuse
    How anyone can say this was a \\\"superp\\\" or \\\"perfect\\\" episode is beyond me. I laughed three times, the rest of the time I was waiting for something funny to happen that never did.

    This ranks up there with the Oprah\\\'s Vagina episode as worst South Park\\\'s ever. The plot itself was topical, but not humorous. They could have done a better job at poking fun at the \\\"sensation\\\" but they failed miserably to achieve even that. I honestly hope that this is not a sign of the type of episodes we will be seeing for the rest of season 10 and beyond. I know they can do better than this, here\\\'s hoping they do.

    Wait, maybe it's because too many of the south park viewers actually can relate to the dialogue and what was actually happening within the GAME that this episode is getting such good reviews from these users....moreless

  • A terrible episode that seems to only have been made to publicise World of Warcraft.

    Simply put, this episode was not funny at all. Right from the start, I got the impression that this episode was just a publicity gimmick to get South Park viewers to try World of Warcraft, or to get World of Warcraft players to watch South Park. No, i'm not giving this episode a bad score because I don't play WoW; in fact, I used to play it. The content of this episode, however, is dull and lacks any sort of interesting plot or humor. Who cares that some guy is running around killing people in a game? Personally I'd have been happier if in the end the boys simply quit the game. All in all, this episode is just as boring as the game that it focuses on. If South Park keeps making episodes like this, it does not bode well for the series' future.moreless

  • Too much WoW and not enough SP.

    This is probably one of the worst episodes of this season if not ever. There was just too much WoW in the game with voice-overs of SP characters. I'm a big fan of WoW and South Park, was really looking forward to this episode, they should've really made it more like the PSP episode. Its funny that they get a lot of the WoW terminology, but I think there was just way too much input from the Blizzard people in this episode, and we all know how funny computer people are. Anyways, big let down, had it's moments but definitely one of the worst episodes.moreless

  • Poor plot. This South Park had no legs in terms of situational humour and character development. Cartman and Butters were seriously under utilised, although did have some nice moments, most were lost to a shallow exploration of WoW.moreless

    "Bad"
    By Danm_999, Mar 25, 2011 Report Abuse
    Bad humour. I laughed probably 3 or 4 times during this episode. For South Park, that is WAAAY down on the average. Yes, there were some funny bits but these jokes had absolutely nothing to do with World of Warcraft and made the episode bareable in spite of it\'s theme.

    Too commercial. This basically screamed as an ad for World of Warcraft. The heavy colloboration with Blizzard in creating the episode seems to bring this in. I nearly had to supress vomit at overt phrases such as \"over 7 million playing\" and \"Butters get WoW and join the online sensation\"!moreless

    The episode was so funny becasue of the World of Warcraft game..I don't necessarily play world or warcraft but ive heard of it and ive played runescape and it seems somehow similiar to it..I luv how the guys kept saying they didnt have a name because they had lives...lol..The fact the the four of them went out and started killing lvl 1 boars to raise like 30 lvls was hilarious..they have lvl 1 chickens on runescape and it takes 4ever to raise lvls with them...ud get bored with them in like 2 mins...The part at the end with stan and his dad where they made it all dramatic too was hilarious..These are the kinds of episodes i watch this show for...to laugh a whole half hour...This episode is one of the best onesmoreless

    ADD TRIVIA

    • The Sword of a Thousand Truths is not a real sword in WoW but the design of the sword is that of Frostmourne, which is the Lich King's sword used to steal Prince Arthas' soul. Frostmourne is also a sword from Warcraft III.

      Edit
    • Cartman's character is believed to be a dwarf warrior, but during his "training" sessions with the boars, his character portrait has a yellow "energy" bar, the kind that rogues have. The moves on his action bar also include sinister strike, another rogue ability! Edit
    • When Cartman says to his mom that he has to use the bathroom and he takes a crap in the bowl, if you look behind them Stan is not at his computer but in the next scene he is. Edit

    • This episode won the 2007 Emmy Award for "Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour)". Edit
    • According to Blizzard Entertainment, "The Sword of a Thousand Truths" (the legendary sword in this episode), will be included in their upcoming "Burning Crusade" expansion. Edit

    • Cartman: All right, you guys, the moment of truth is here and it's time for our final battle. Everyone log in. Stan: I'm in. Kyle: Me too. Kenny: Me three. Edit
    • Cartman: Okay, hit him with pyroblast, Kyle. Kyle: Casting... there's an 8-second cast time. Cartman: Aren't you spec'd to reduce cast time? Kyle: No, ah, I'm an arcane fire mage. Cartman: ...Christ. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Grand Theft Auto: The way Randy stops a car, pulls out the driver, punches him and then hijacks the car is very similar to the way cars are "borrowed" in the "Grand Theft Auto" series of games. Given the theme of this episode, this looks like a deliberate allusion. Edit
    • "leetspeak": This episode pokes fun at the intentional misspelling of words in MMORPG's such as "uber", "pwn", and "n00b". Edit
    • Cartman's TeamSpeak: Cartman's TeamSpeak commands rant parodies the popular Leeroy Jenkins video containing a similar barking of commands. Both this portion of the episode and the original Jenkins video satirize the excessive planning and elitism of so-called "nerd guilds" who specialize in raiding. Though the scene is typical of many endgame raid command rants, the wink to that video occurs most obviously when Kyle mentions not being specced to reduce his cast time and Cartman in an annoyed tone replies with "Christ....". An almost exact circumstance and response from the team leader occurs in the Leeroy Jenkins video. Edit
