Tivo Alert: South Park takes on Guitar Hero Wednesday
by Kyle Orland 
{ Nov 5th 2007 at 9:17AM }
We already knew the team behind South Park had proclivity for Guitar Hero, and this Wednesday we'll get to see that interest translated on our TV screens. According to the South Park Studios web site, this Wednesday's episode, aptly titled "Guitar Queer-o" will see Kyle jealous over Stan's superior skills at the game. Wait, someone named Kyle isn't good at Guitar Hero? This will not stand!
When South Park delves into gaming topics, the results tend to be good -- as in the Emmy-award-winning "Make Love, Not WarCraft." As for when (a hacked version of) Guitar Hero delves into South Park ... well ... judge for yourself after the break.

Stan's dad is my favorite South Park character.

"Stan's dad is my favorite South Park character."
QFT. The more Randy Marsh we get, the better the episode. "Bloody Mary" and the one where he's getting in fights at Stan's little league games are still my favorite episodes EVER...
This is gonna be hilarious.

Agreed. He kills me in the homeless episode.

I thought we were in America....

I've got to agree with FR on this one. I guess south park really does bring people together.
What seems to be the officer problem?

@Fernando re: Futurama.
My favorite episode is still the pilot, when Fry and Bender get cornered by the cops and Bender literally shits a brick. Good times that was.

"Stan's dad is my favorite South Park character."
I completely second that. You are dead on with that comment sir. He can single-handedly make an episode three times funnier.
Ben @ Nov 5th 2007 9:34AM
this is going to be hilarious! I can't wait!

South Park is the only animated show on TV that's still "got it".
...if only Futurama was still on the air.
F. Rocker or Fernando R.? @ Nov 5th 2007 9:57AM
Futurama rocks!
danny. (fdf.) @ Nov 5th 2007 10:06AM
King of the Hill is still good.
Ethan Rom @ Nov 5th 2007 10:09AM
Futurama is back next year!
F. Rocker or Fernando R.? @ Nov 5th 2007 10:12AM
My favorite Futurama episode is The Sting. So emotive.
capt_carl @ Nov 5th 2007 11:00AM
Wow, I totally posted my comment in the wrong place, but yea, I already said what I wanted.
Trashman @ Nov 5th 2007 11:17AM
New Futurama full length movie out on dvd later this month. Its called Bender's Big Score I believe. So very excited for it
Bryan T @ Nov 5th 2007 9:58AM
Can't wait!
I know it's going to be even funnier because I guarantee everyone will be able to make some personal connection to the story.
A great follow-up to imagination land indeed.

South Park really understands what matters to people. It's a true, honest-to-life recounting of my daily goings on. I feel South Park gets me.

Imagination Land was amazing.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Nov 5th 2007 10:44AM
Yep that was an EPIC episode. I can't wait to see how this guitar hero episode turns out.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Nov 5th 2007 10:55AM
It was incredibly epic.
JediMogg @ Nov 5th 2007 10:33AM
i hope I can put down guitar hero 3 long enough to watch this
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Nov 5th 2007 10:59AM
So I'm guessing Stan's Dad will be the Keanu Reeves of Guitar Hero then.
gonk @ Nov 5th 2007 11:22AM
are you kidding? he never plays games well, see the warcraft episode
Shockgamer @ Nov 5th 2007 11:38AM
I hope they find some sort of way to pit Kyle against Cartman! I've never seen that before!
Martin @ Nov 5th 2007 12:01PM
I hope they keep up the Suck My Balls schtick that they've been doing. It's been hilarious.
Especially the court room scene.
This episode is going to rock!
Sam @ Nov 5th 2007 12:32PM
South park and Guitar Hero together?
Why dont they just add some porn and make this the greatest episode in TV history.
Easo @ Nov 5th 2007 4:11PM
Did anyone else catch that they ( Trey Parker and Matt Stone) Seem sort of pissed that they got an emmy for the "make love not warcraft" episode. In the Bono episode that recently aired, they took the emmy and stuck it in a giant pile of shit. Glad im not the only one that thought that episode was crap.
Oh yea
Randy...Randy...Randy. We love you Randy!
Joe @ Nov 5th 2007 5:22PM
I hope they tool on Guitar Hero 3, especially the Wii version. A side-by-side comparison of GH2 and GH3 showed me just how bad Neversoft fucked up.
I'm sticking with Harmonix; at least I don't run into instant fail glitches in their games. (Srsly- I had a green SP meter and failed Knights of Cydonia at 96%.)
