But the point I'm making is that The Late Show couldn't do what they did back then now because some dickheads would watch the show just to find something to complain about. My view is that if something sucks, don't watch it. Don't ruin it for people with a sense of humour. The fact that "look at moi" on Kath and Kim is considered to be funny and a "classic" shows just how bad television is now. |

Notice how they always take the wee out of channel 7 shows? I can excuse it when they take the wee out of Nikki Webster though. In fact, all pop princesses should die. |

when did south park ever do anything that wasnt complete crap ? I have only ever watched about 2 minutes of this trash and thought it was the most uninteresting tripe Ive ever seen ! Steve is a champion bloke and will always be that bloke , no matter how many people try to bring him down! It will simply never happen!

South Park is a stupid show but youve gotta except crap like this. I do think it was probably a bit too soon after his death before they did it though.

I wish there was a 24hr South Park channel. To have a sense of homour is a wonderful thing....
Everyone has told a sick joke or two in their lives.....The creators of SP do it every week and boy do they do it well. Steve Irwin is trully immortal, a cartoon show won't hurt. |

Sure it is maybe a bit too soon, but its not like that South Park are doing something different just to make fun of Steve Irwin. South Park is always like that and if you don't like it, don't watch it.

Ok, well it would seem that everyone has jumped to quite a big conclusion in saying that the South Park guys are poking fun at Steve Irwin, I'm sure some if not most by now have heard that this years Halloween costumes have a new fave, you guessed it, a kharki shirt with a sting ray barb and fake blood.
So maybe it's possible that by the devil in the sketch saying it's too early, they're actually having a stab at the yanks for there insensitivity in bringing out such a thing so soon, especially after saying to the world, well Oz anyway, how much they loved and respected him. Just a thought.

You obviously don't recall him also saying that it's a bit too soon to be going to a fancy dress dressed as Irwin, before he realises it's actually him. As for the kicking out it's more like 'well out with the old', highlighting the short attention span with most of them in the US.
South Park is alot like Black Adder and even some Monty Python, if you don't get it you never will. ![]()

But one thing everyone is over looking is his dead, Most of the send ups well all of the sends ups are of the living, They can give them the bird or laugh at it how ever they take it. I'm sure steves family don't see the light side of it. Now in Australia we do take the **** out of everyone and everything, But we respect the dead as we always have. I remember not long ago at how many people were not too happy with all items for sale on ebay cashing in on his name and death.

bit too soon? you gotta be kidding me, the day he died the jokes were flying thick and fast, same as Brocky, this is Aussie, were the first to take the pi$$..
You want bad taste ? I'm prepared to be flamed for this but the day Brocky died this was the current joke.. What do Peter Brock and Steve Irwin have in common? they were both killed by fishtails... |

i love the episode. Those creaters are two really screwed up people but they come up with such crap i have to like it. I see nothing wrong with it at all. As Darran said taking the pi*s out of poeple is a part of life.
Oh heres the link of the clip this thread is focused on: http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/...eve_Irwin.html

Southpark rocks, Its pretty simple if you find it offensive don't watch it they take the p**s out of everyone reguardless of race, ethnicity or the country they live in its not like they are singleing him out in that respect it was always going to happen. On another note who saw the tom cruise in the closet episode, that was effing hilarious.

i thought it would be bad but after i saw it it wasnt bad at all but it wasnt funny either....i miss steve irwin and it is never funny to poke fun of the dead...if they really wanted him in the clip they could have had him without the stingray...steve was a great man and im not too happy about him being mates with the devil but its all in sick humour and i guess people shouldnt watch if they are offended

South Park have been ripping on people for years. Now everyone is having a wah cos it's something close to heart (never mind the fact most Aussies couldn't stand Steve Irwin 4 months ago).
Where's Chopper with the harden the ******* up? |

It wasnt even offensive, so i dont see what the problem was. He died by a stingray didnt he? Its not like they made him out to be anything he wasnt.

I quite like Southpark, a great break from this world where political correctness has gone mad.

When i first heard about Steve in an episode with Satan (on radio or tv or somewhere) i thought "uh oh...here we go again, this might not be pretty". Until I saw the clip I was of the impression they were making huge fun of him, then i saw the clip and think it is fairly soft.Maybe they are just trying to honor Steve in their own way. The other episode with Steve was fairly tame as well. But then again maybe they just want to make headlines once more.

In that actual south park clip they don't seem to actually offend him, IMO anyway. I don't get american humor to watch south park , it does not make sense to me.

blah blah friggin blah where do you people come up with this sh1t, South Park hang more manure on the US than any other nation or people, it wasn't meant to be deep so start looking for your lesbian whale ![]() I wonder how many times you sent and recieved one of the Brock or Irwin sms' and most likely had a chuckle when you read it and then thought it was funny enough to send it on. I actually wonder just how many people have bothered to even view the clip before commenting.

After XRQTR telling us about the halloween costumes in the US (i had not heard it before he said it) i think it sheds a different light on it. I agreewith him that lots of people may be jumping to conclusions based on their preconceptions about Southpark and what they heard in the media, but how many watched the clip before posting? If i posted before watching it i would have said it is wrong, but having seen it, i dont think it is really poking fun at him.
Just because he died and then appears in Southpark doesnt make it bad. It was hardly "Oh Steve we are so glad you are here, never thought it would be a stingray that would get you all those near misses with crocs, come join the fun, take the stingray out and relax". That would have been a little worse, but still expected from the Southpark boys.

Hanging ***** on people for a laugh which south park is, is very easy.
Easier still if they are deceased. How does a widow explain this stuff to her children? Im sadly surprised by the responses here , obviously this is a sign of he current times, laugh at every expense, morality....pfft, that just gets in the way of laughing. We are all gradually be coming desensitised by media, society and the internet. Some of you lot would get more cut up if someone accidently put a scratch in your cars paintwork, you wouldn't see the funny, south park side if it then. |
