Nominee for Trademark South Park episode
deroxmanximt18 July 2021
Must see, one of the most memorable, raw gritty lesson to be learn, unusually darker than most other episode but a necessary one.

Attachment of truth into the real world where old senile people taken advantage off without remorse.

Heartless Forced Slave Labor whose lives deemed worthless other than for producing pennies of profits for their masters.

A better South Park episode...
varun_12027 March 2012
I can't tell for how long I've waited for a good South Park episode. Last season only Humancentipad, You're Getting older and Last of the Meheecans were good episode. I thought they could stop making South Park after getting bad reviews by people. I love South Park. I've been watching it since 4-5 years, seen all the episodes, have collection of all the seasons.

Last season I had to convince myself that South Park was still good. But, this time Matt and Trey made an episode, which has South Park signature on it. I will be more than happy to see such episodes of South Park, for which we are ardent fans of South Park.

Story is simple Stan's grandfather buys him a golden bolo tie WORTH 6 grands, which he buys on a Jewelry & Gold shopping network. When Stan wants to sell it to Cash for gold people they won't pay more than $15. So, Stan is agitated and tries to find who is running this entire thing and Eric wants to use this opportunity to make money.

This is a hilarious episode and refreshes memories of genuine South Park .

Nice time of release

This episode was released at the most satisfying time of all South Park episodes; it was the latest episode as of March 24, 2012 (the day Chao772 Productions had recorded videos of South Park onto a VHS tape). It's very interesting.

South Park finally in 3rd stage?
bag-bosch27 March 2012
South park changed before, around seasons 6-8. It started releasing more parody episodes with (usually) some kind of over the top plot.

Early South Park was so good because the writing was so incredible. The script was hilarious, well timed and kept delivering laugh out loud moments as well as matter to think about. This matter usually wasn't all to deep. Neither did it have anything to do with recent events.

Later South Park was great too because it made a parody of everything in completely f*cked up ways, with sarcasm as its #1 tool. The characters however started to get stale.

Now, I've got the feeling as if the creators of SP are trying to find out what made the show a success and bring these elements back. What I fear they're doing is bringing back the lack of subject matter from early South Park combined with the staleness of later South Park, resulting in an utter monster. It's still got some funny moments, but that's about it. The plot lines are getting predictable. The characters (especially the boys) are getting predictable. The script and animation gets filled up by predictable gross-out moments because that's apparently what some people like about South Park.

I'm sad to say that I have the feeling that after all these great years South Park is finally losing it...
