    As much as I wanted to like this episode, I really didn't. I blame the lame ending.

    Good things first, though:

    The idea of South Park - and the whole world - turning gay (or at least metrosexual) was amusing. I think that would have been enough to fill the episode, seeing the kids at school discriminate those who didn't want to go along with the new trend, and to see the daddies on a shopping spree in the mall.

    Mr. Garrison's reaction was also amusing - and perhaps there is a little truth in it: seeing people take influence from the gay culture can lead to awkward misunderstandings.

    Then along somes the crab people. Lame as hell, not funny at all, and it totally ruined the episode. Couldn't they come up with ANYTHING else?moreless

    I did not find this episode to be funny it was just stupid.The end of it was alot better then the rest of it so this episode was not to bad.But is still one of the South Park episodes that I could live without episodes of the seventh season of South Park.This South Park episode is about, Stan Kyle Kenny and Cartman are super hot to be gay Kyle is then cut from the group because he dont feel metrosexual and then Mr. Garrison accuses the towns peple from Queer Eye of selling out. This is a average episode.I give it a C+.moreless

  • This is by far the funniest SP episode ever. Where the boys take on the homosexuality fad.

    This is by far the funniest episode of South Park i have ever seen, despite i having to watch it censored on syndication cuz I don't have cable. I liked Chef's joke about white people using "hizzle fo shizzle" and stuff like that from hip-hop language, and George W. Bush on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" - good cuz I don't like Bush. The excessive use of "gay" is what makes the episode funny, as does how they negatively depict gay people. C'mon, if you are (yeah you know who you are), then just don't watch this episode, but if you're straight, then watch this for a good laugh.moreless

    Thanks to Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, every men and boy starts to think being metrosexual is cool and they start behaving like the feminine type of gay They even dress up and talk like that because their new favorite TV program tries to make gay 'culture' popular.
    And well, I like this episode quite much. Even though not all gay guys are feminine, someone can be gay along with being masculine/boyish/just like an average boy. (For example, Mr. Garrison.) But it sure was fun to see Cartman, Stan and Kenny !! XD Also I'm in love with Kyle - that means I'm gay ! Great !! Really !! Kyle gives up the whole metrosexual fad and the boys in school beat him up. I felt so sorry for him, even his dad tried to solve things in the way of the new fashion. So Kyle decides to go to New York and kill the 5 queers, together with Mr. Garrison and Mr. Slave. Two actually and obviosuly gay guys. So if you take the time to notice that, this episode strongly-clearly suggests that Kyle is gay Interesting, huh ?
    It was funny how Kyle and Mr. Garrison both got pretty murderous.
    In New York, the three guys meet the queers and find out the celebrities are not really gay but... the crab people ! (Later there's a referring to them in "Two Days Before The Day After Tomorrow".)
    This episode is fun for sure. Oh, and my dad is quite metrosexual, I'll probably tell him to see this.

    My favorite part : Uh...none ? Maybe Cartman saying that his grandpa was bi-sexual so he himself is a quarter bi. (In my opinion he's a quarter bi and three quarters gaymoreless
