Let no one ever say South Park is not an equal opportunity offender. On Wednesday night, the show went after Caitlyn Jenner , representing her in unflattering fashion… and then having her run a pedestrian over with her car . On the same episode, meanwhile, South Park took aim a certain egocentric, self-centered, racist loudmouth. Who just happens to be the leading Republican nominee for President. It started out innocently enough, with the show referring to the character parodying Trump as a “brash asshole” and having him tell people to perform lewd activities on his private parts. But then Mr. Garrison enters Trump’s office, beats him up, rapes him and kills him. Sh-t happens, we guess? Watch and see if this scene went too far, even for South Park.

Following a focus on Nathan and Mimsy last week, South Park Season 18 Episode 5 brought Cartman and Butters very much back into the hilarious spotlight on Wednesday evening. It also expertly combined such current topics as Ferguson, drones and The Fappening . In other words: classic South Park all around. Watch South Park Season 18 Episode 5 Online The two friends fought this week over the Stotch family drone, which Cartman pressured Butters into using to spy on the neighborhood… especially Craig’s mom’s very hairy bush, which Cartman described as Yeti-like. There wasn’t any major commentary here on the controversial topic of drones, with the general message being sent that they aren’t ideal for spying on people. No d’uh! South Park may have pushed the boundary in the eyes of some, however, when it replaced Michael Brown (the victim in Ferguson, Missouri) with a black drone. Clearly, it would be silly to take this show to task for its mockery or sensationalism… this is what makes South Park so beloved in the first place and, you know, freedom of speech and all. But replacing a shot teenager with a drone isn’t really a funny way to tackle this touchy subject. The issue of a lack of creativity, not a sensitivity to this kind of outlandish humor. Still, overall, while certain elements didn’t quite come together here (Stephen Stotch’s drone conspiracy among them), this episode centered on Cartman, Butters and Craig’s mom’s private parts. It also featured some side-splitting South Park quotes . So, really, who are we to complain? Although Jennifer Lawrence may disagree with Cartman’s stance of “Your wiener, my balls, they’re all public domain.” Sound off on this episode below and visit TV Fanatic to watch South Park online .
Many people believe nothing is more magical than a tasteful portrait of an expectant mother’s pregnant belly, and we are not here to argue with those people. Those people just aren’t talking about these 27 photos. “What were they thinking?” is the stock response to these epic pictures of people who took the excitement of their impending arrival to disturbing levels. How and why these awkward shots made it to the web, we have no idea. But they will make you cringe, scratch your head, and smile with a blend of joy, bewilderment and gratitude. Because they’re not yours. You can always be thankful for that fact.

There were a lot of interesting moments at Comic Con 2014, held this past weekend in San Diego. We’re sure for many fans, just the opportunity to get the first glimpse of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman was worth the price of admission. But while Gadot’s hotness reigned supreme at the Batman vs. Superman panel, it was surely Game of Thrones mastermind George R.R. Martin who provided the bulk of this year’s highlights. First, the George R.R. Martin Khaleesi photo took the Internet by storm and proved and that the man responsible for Theon Greyjoy having his peen lopped off has a sense of humor after all. Speaking of wangs, it got even better from there. Check out this interview that Martin gave on the red carpet: George R.R. Martin: Hooray For Boobies! Yes, the revered author responsible for one of the most popular literary works of our time thinks it’s important that you know he prefers boobies to weenies. In case you also missed the episode, here’s animated GRRM conducting his version of the GoT theme song: Game of Thrones-South Park Weiner Song Frankly, we think HBO has done a pretty good job of staying true to Martin’s vision. GoT features far more boobies than weiners, and nothing violent ever happens to the former. Although that scene with Hodor’s comically massive schlong may be enough to earn the show the title of “most ween-centric series of all time” Don’t forget to watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic to calculate the boobies versus weiners ratio for yourself.

South Park Season 17 Episode 10, the show’s season finale, was epic. Not just because we love Kim Kardashian and Kanye West here at The Hollywood Gossip … okay mostly for that reason. Boy did they get skewered! In the middle of the night, Wendy was woken up by ‘Ye, who snuck into her room to read her a story about a “hobbit” who dreamed of being beautiful. You can see where the show is going with this, most likely. “The Hobbit” was able to become beautiful through the power of Photoshop (although she’s still no Beyonce), in an installment you need to see to appreciate.

On Wednesday’s episode of South Park, one character referred to Kim Kardashian as a phony who “who manipulates her image and makes average girls feel horrible about themselves.” And sources tell The New York Post that the latest issue of Us Weeky, which features new Kardashian bikini photos , is a prime example of this manipulation. Kim Kardashian, Bikini Cover Us Weekly Following the release of the cover, Kardashian told Extra that she has not actually seen it and the photos in question were snapped when she and “some friends were on the beach,” adding that they ran inside “when they saw the paparazzi.” Simply put, this is BS. Insiders confirm to Page Six that a photo agency took the shots of Kim in secret and that she had the company airbrush them to oblivion. She wanted to look slimmer and a lot more toned. Moreover, Kardashian gave personal approval to each image before bidding was opened up to various magazine. Us Weekly won and paid around $100,000 for the spread, with half that fee going into Kim’s pocket. This is a pretty typical arrangement for celebrities. Many of them strikes a deal with the paparazzi and split the payment for supposedly candid pictures. So why would Kim lie about it? Why not just say she wanted to show off her bikini body six months after giving birth? Or why not just say nothing at all? Who knows. This is the same woman who claims she played no role in the release of the Kim Kardashian sex tape , so perhaps the real question should be: Why does anyone ever believe anything Kim says in the first place?
South Park is either getting seriously meta, or bizarrely free-associative in its advanced age. The beginning of Wednesday night’s new episode of the Comedy Central series saw the relentlessly cheerful and naively optimistic character Butters Stotch become a pint-sized rageaholic that is initially attributed to his Hawaiian roots, but later turns out to be about the charmed life of Ben Affleck . After arriving on the island of Kaua’i to engage in a rite of passage that, presumably, will cure him of the furies, Butters inexplicably vents about Affleck, wondering how after the mediocrity of Daredevil , the actor/director “can hit a home run that everyone loves,” a reference to Affleck’s critically well-received Argo . “You shouldn’t be able to be good looking, and be with Jennifer Lopez and be a good director,” Butters wails ” Argo is a good movie! It holds up! Ben Affleck has everything, Braaaaa!” (Affleck and Lopez were featured in a famous 2003 South Park episode called “Fat Butt and Pancake Head.” At one point, Butters summons up enough rage to sink a cruise ship with a golf ball. His battle cry: “Stupid Ben Affleck!” The cure for his vexation: Jennifer Garner . Butters cools his jets when someone points out that Affleck is no longer with JLo and is now married to Garner. “He’s just married to Jennifer Garner? Oh my gosh, I feel so much better!” Butters says, setting up one of the most creative insults I’ve heard on South Park . “Ben Affleck has a lot going for him,” Butters says as he walks off into the Hawaiian sunset with Kenny. “Not everything, but a lot.” Maybe I’m reading too much into this plot point, but I wonder if creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are making a bigger point here, or whether they were just free-associating at such a high speed that things appear to mean more than they do. Regardless, there are some interesting coincidences that have me looking for a larger meaning. For example: -Is there some kind of connection to be drawn between Butters’ ire and the fact that Garner’s latest movie is titled Butter ? -Are Parker and Stone somehow also having some fun with Argo producer George Clooney? One of the subplots of the South Park episode is about residents of Kaua’i claiming to be natives of Hawaii when they’re just longtime residents who got there before the more recent tourists, whom they despise. Although Clooney’s name is not mentioned in the episode, I was reminded of the plot of Alexander Payne’s 2011 movie The Descendants , which starred the actor and got him an Best Actor Oscar nomination. In the movie, Clooney plays a genuine Hawaii native who’s grappling with selling his family’s 25,000 acres of pristine Kaua’i land to a developer. -Am I spending too much time looking for meaning in South Park episodes? If anyone out there can make sense of this, I’d love to read your interpretation in the comments section. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter .
