10 corrected entries in season 8

(12 votes)

Correction: The whole town of South Park is destroyed in almost every episode and rebuilt in time for the next one. It's entirely likely that after getting rid of Wall-Mart, they remade Stark's Pond.

Captain Defenestrator

Correction: Simple character mistake.

Lummie

Correction: We are never told how many ninja stars Kenny has bought, only that EVEN he can afford them at $1.99.

Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset - S8-E12

Corrected entry: Paris Hilton is defeated in the "Whore Off" by Mr. Slave. Soon she meets the Frog King who tells her that she must travel through Mr. Slave's intestine or she will surely die. The problem is that when the hamster Lemmiwinks freed himself in Season Six, episode 14, all of Mr. Slave's "friends" were freed with him, including the Frog King. Why did they come back?

Correction: Well, seeing how all of Lemmiwinks' "helpers" inside Mr. Slave were spiritual, it is impossible to say for certain what their exact limitations and powers were. One possible explanation is that the Frog King really did leave mr. Slave, but chose to reappear inside him when needed to help others who would be trapped there. Or it is possible that they had gained the freedom to leave, but never actually did so. It basically boils down to a character decision, which is not a mistake unless you specifically know their motivations.

Up the Down Steroid - S8-E2

Corrected entry: Timmy and Jimmy would not have competed in the same heats in the Special Olympics because they have different disabilities. Timmy would have competed in the wheelchair division, while Jimmy would have competed in the Down Syndrome division.

Correction: Jimmy has Cerebral Palsy, not Downs Syndrome.

Correction: They show 8 people get killed, and the others could've been injured.

Correction: Mrs. Brofloski was asking a question, that was never answered, so the answer would be "No, he's my Father-in-law." Or if she really considered him a Dad, she could answer "Yes".

Rlvlk

Correction: He was hit with a shuriken, not a saw blade. The shuriken weighed a few grams (well less than a pound), like all such devices.

Correction: Congratulations: you've discovered the entire point of that joke.

Good Times With Weapons - S8-E1

Corrected entry: When Kyle is talking about getting rid of the weapons, Cartman says he can't throw away something he paid $15 for. At the booth that sold the weapons, the nunchucks were priced at $7.95.

Correction: Cartman Sucks at math. Its well established (such as the "Cow Days" episode, where Cartman remarks "Yeah, but I forgot I suck at math.").

Correction: Occasionally, I've heard people blurt out any amount that sounds "big" at the moment. They just want to emphasize that the item was somewhat expensive, and/or you don't want the cost to be wasted.

Margaritaville - S13-E3

Question: Can someone explain the subplot with the Margaritaville and Stan going to a bunch of places trying to return it? It's really confusing. And this sounds stupid, but in a recession, wouldn't spending money be bad?

Answer: Essentially Stan was trying to return the blender that his dad, Randy, had bought because he knew his parents couldn't afford the extra debt. The blender, which represented mortgage-backed securities, had been bought on payment plan, meaning Randy had to make monthly payments, with interest, on something that wasn't essential. The episode represented the recession that was occurring at the time, including the housing bubble and mortgage crisis going on, so there's a lot going on. However, the payment plan (which is to say the debt) had been sold to another company by the store that sold Randy the blender. (To explain why, because of the recession, the store needed cash on hand, and they would only be getting a little money each month, if Randy paid his bill. So the store sells the debt to a company who gives the store the money upfront. Think of the J.G. Wentworth commercials, "I have a structured settlement, but I need cash now".) Because the store sold the debt, in ridiculous fashion, Stan had to return the blender to the company that bought the debt, although they too sold the debt to another company. Finally he gets to the U.S. treasury who tells him his blender is worth $90 trillion (again a ridiculous exaggeration) meaning that the debt owed is greater than the product is worth and to deride the way government agencies set up their budgets (which requires much more complex economic lessons). Kyle's whole point was people shouldn't fear the economy or see it as a vengeful being, but continue to spend and live as they normally do. Economically speaking, not spending money during a recession creates a longer lasting recession, and to solve a recession, people should spend money, although people and businesses shouldn't acquire debt during a recession because interest rates are higher. But on a personal level, individuals are fearful of losing their jobs during a recession, so they save money in case that should happen. But again, this is complex economics lesson.
