I really liked the feeding tube episode last week. It'll be in my top five somewhere.
I also like the Woodland Critter Christmas alot.... The stairway to heaven with Saddam....
My husband and I thought of a funny way for Matt and Trey to do Arafat being 'dead' 'not dead' 'dead' 'not dead' 'dead'. It could be done as just bad reporting from the midget in the bikini or something, but it'd be funnier to have him really die, and be rejected and sent back several times by both heaven and hell. ;~D
I don't understand the big glowing Moses beacon.....
Not Stairway to Heaven, but Ladder to Heaven. =P As a Zep fan though, I really appreciated their reference.
Hail Satan! hahaha!
As far as Arafat was concerned, I had a feeling they would make him Saddam's love-interest, or at least someone Saddam uses to make Satan jealous. Guess I was wrong and they aren't even going to use him at all. And yeah, the midget in the bikini reporter was classic. My favorite reporter, however, was "Creamy Goodness." WTF?!?!?
"Okama GameSphere/Towlie"
Don't ask!
"Towlie, you're the lamest character ever"
"I know"
Great episode though!
Actually, those were the same episode.
Well, that's more sensical than having no explanation at all! At least it came from somewhere! I never played Tron. What was the "MPC Cone"?
I've heard of parents who are just like that. :)
It's MCP, Master Control Program. The "plot" (such as it were) of Tron was a super invassive computer program that was trying to take over the world of computers. A programmer gets sucked into the world and teams up with the super security program a friend of his wrote (Tron) to defeat the MCP, in the virtual world the MCP was a big cone of rainbow light with a face on it (just like in the South Park episode only slightly better animated). In the end Tron was really all about animation, they used every technique of the time except stop motion/ clamation, including two different types of what we'd now call CGI and it was the first movie since Marry Poppins to have live action people interact with animated stuff (and the interacted a lot more tightly than the penguin dance in Marry Poppins). Starring Bruce Boxleitner as Tron in one of his only two major scifi roles, good time, solid family entertainment, and an amazing if unfortunately dated technical achievement.
I'm a big Tron dweeb, in case you couldn't guess.
