haha, not too subtle! But funny I'm sure you will agree. Am I the only one that found the bit with the Smurfs being massacred to be kind of disturbing?

@grif- no South Park RULES, Family Guy sucks. Let's get that straight.

Anyway I wouldn't say it's parodying Avatar, its taking the piss out of Dances with Wolves, Smurfs are the indians etc.

South park rules!
It's kinda taking a piss at Avatar. Calling it a smurfs/dances with wolfs rip off :D. Wich it pretty much is :D..... Not realy a parody.

MarkCassidy - 11/12/2009, 4:02 PM
Ryden...yes, its taking the piss out of Avater..for having the same plot as Dances With Wolves!

And Family Guy and South Park both tickle my pickle very much.

C'mon guys, it's all good. Dances with Wolves covered the Natives. The Last Samurai covered the Samurai. We need a movie to show what happened to the Smurfs too.

lol

But in all seriousness, as unoriginal as it looks, I'm still looking forward to Avatar. :)

Runefyst, maybe you can rent Dances with wolves and change your Tv settings so that everything looks tinted blue, voila! you get Avatar.

@Rorschach- Guess so, or that book that someone mentioned that is exactly the same as Avatar

I don't really see the Avatar dig in that.

Yeah, it was very funny, but I don't really think that they were going for an Avatar parody.

Even though what they did pretty much sums up Avatar!

"Dances with Wolves with Smurfs"

That sounds about right :)

This was great episode, even Glenn Beck was laughing about it today on his show. I like the fact they make fun of everybody on that show.

I watched it last night and I thought that part was so hilarious.

MarkCassidy - 11/12/2009, 6:35 PM
haha, ok so it seems like an Avatar parody, sounds like an Avatar parody and looks like an Avatar parody..but it wasn't going for an Avatar parody?



There's the ep thumbnail enlarged. Trust me folks, its an Avatar parody!
HarrisonBergeron
HarrisonBergeron - 11/12/2009, 6:57 PM
I was thinking there had to be more to it, I thought that the biggest criticism about Avatar was the huge amount of hype and the budget, followed by the lack luster trailer, and the clip above showed none of that.

Criticizing the story is sort of unimaginative for South Park, Hollywood rips off stories all the time, Avatar is nothing new in that respect.

Ror: From that pic it is an Avatar parody, but from the clip alone at the top, I would say no.

It just didn't have anything recognizable from Avatar itself, if they had included something like a guy in a wheelchair, super robot suits, etc., I would have said yes. Usually South Park goes for the obvious parodies, this just didn't seem very obvious to me. It just felt like a one-off joke to get in that crazy Cartman humor.

Also, it doesn't seem like an Avatar parody, or look like one at all. It looks exactly like a Smurf parody.

@Intylerwetrust Its making fun or how Avatar is just a used idea.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 11/12/2009, 8:42 PM
Exactly. Im glad they didn't make it too obvious..although like i said in the article, it was hardly subtle either! I mean people have been saying that Avatar is just Dances With Wolves but with Smurfs since the trailer..and look what South Park did with that!

it's amazing for as long as South Park has been around that it remains as biting with its satire as ever, and as FUNNY as ever. Loved the one where Lucas and Spielberg were graphically raping Indiana Jones, or the Warcraft parody.

So...

Exactly how many smurf berries IS a smurf's life worth?

Tyler

The clip in the article alone does not tell the full story. The interview cartman has with wendy testeberger at the end of the ep is a direct play off the premise of Avatar, replacing that mineral ore with smurf berries and cartman infiltrating the smurfs and falling in love with smurfette. Aligning with them to fight against the government trying to relocate them. Basically everything you see in the Avatar trailer. Then of course wendy says she sold the movie rights and the very next scene is the above thumbnail. Total Avatar parody.

What else is new.. -__-


And Tyler summed it up. Whoever enjoys South Park, really needs to raise their standards cause that show is full of profound humor that can't seem to make anybody smile.. ;(

I have to admit, after watching the trailer before 2012 of Avatar I think I may be a convert, it looked a lot better than the ones I'd seen previously.

I watched it on Wednesday...I love South Park.

I'm definitely not going to waste my time or money going to see Avatar, the new trailer doesn't make it look any better or "revolutionary".
I hope someone leaks the movie, James Cameron pretty much stole every ideas and/or imagery he possibly could...this movie deserves to fail. And don't get me started on how overrated Titanic is [even though it was a good film].

Titanic was an excellent film. I can't find anything overrated about it at all.

The South Park guys are bullies. They almost never take on anything controversial, despite claims to the contrary, and all they like to do is kick [racial slur]s when they're down. Everyone, I mean [frick]ing everyone, is bashing this Avatar movie, which they haven't even seen. It's ridiculous. If they wanted to be creative they could have compared it to "Fern Gully," NOT Dances with Wolves. But they just get their ideas from reading comments at ACIN and crap like that. They steal. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are a couple of [frick]ing thieves.

stalepie - 11/16/2009, 2:56 AM
I wasn't using a racial slur, you [frick]ing kikes. You bitches and dorks. You're retarded. I miss old AOL and pRodigy, when the entire [frick]ing internet wasn't constantly censored.
stalepie
stalepie - 11/16/2009, 2:58 AM
At least YouTube still has some dignity, but probably for not much longer.

Oh well. The internet. Who needs it?
stalepie
stalepie - 11/16/2009, 3:00 AM
I do.
