    South Park is being overrun by homeless people who want change. Kyle gives a homeless man 20 dollars and soon more and more homeless people come. The adults try to kill them, but the kids try to figure out how to get rid of them.

    Good episode, the running gag of Cartman jumping the homeless was pretty funny, as was Randy's "He's become one of them" line. It's kind of a weak premise, but they handled it in a pretty funny way, which resulted in a funny episode and a good execution of plot, so my final grade for this episode is an A+.moreless

    In this episode of South Park, the town is overridden with tons of zombies wanting change (sorry homeless people) after Kyle gives one of them change. The town is soon so overridden with them that the boys leave to another town that got rid of their homeless... only to discover that the town is ruins! Will the boys be able to save South Park from the homeless invasion!? If you don't like this episode, your crazy because it parodies every zombie movie, video game, book, etc ever made. It's so funn to watch this episode. One of s11's highlights. 10/10 A+moreless

    LOL this episode was hilarius !!!! The number of Homeless people have increased in South Park... The boys are unable to play basketball, since homeless people are sleeping on the court, and Kyle decides that they do something about it... and its SOOOO funny when the Homeless ask for "Spare of Change" LOL>>..The town council has also taken notice of the problem, and come up with ridiculous, ineffective solutions, such as turning the homeless into tires for their cars or giving them designer sleeping bags and makeovers "so they would at least be pleasant to look at." Park County's expert on homelessness advises that if no-one gives them anything, they will leave...moreless

    I absolutely loved this episode! But, I hope they made a better ending.

    The only parts I hate is Cartman kept talking about how he jumped the homeless, that's juvenile.

    Not only the parts about the homeless people, but also how others in this episode treat them.

    Such as the people in Evergreen, they couldn't tell a normal person form a homeless guy since most of the homeless saved enough change to buy homes, clothing etc.

    And Because of that, they killed almost every person in the town.

    Especially how the researcher explained the ways of the homeless, that they only live on change, very crafty and creative for such good writers.

    Although awkward, the part where they sang "California love" was pretty funny, I guess.moreless

    The Night of the Living Homeless is snother great installment of the South Park sereis. Although this episode makes fun of homeless people, it really does bring out the message that people can become homeless really easily and rapidly.
    As I said ealier This was another great installment and I'm looking forward to another episode on the 26 March.
    Hopefully it will be good and I'll write a review about it tomorrow.moreless

    • Homeless Adviser: They feed on our change. They need it in order to keep them moving. Homeless Person: Is that... is that some spare change? Homeless Adviser: Somehow they're able to take... our change... and turn it into nourishment, sustenance. Homeless Person: Spare some of that change, sir? Homeless Adviser: But now watch.
