It absolutely wasn't. Probably one of the best theatrical experiences I've ever had, and I see close to 100 movies a year or so.
Sure, that's why I explained why it was good earlier in the thread.South Park was at its peak.
Snakes on a Plane was one of the best theatrical experiences I've ever had, doesn't make it good.
I'd say the movie was the start of their prime to be honest. The series is at its best for the following 3-4 seasons.South Park came at the prime of their run. Simpsons came about 10 years too late.
Even the underrated Flintstones movie has an interesting role reversal, with Fred getting the ill-earned promotion and Barney broke and bitter.
Cool straw man. There's def humor and heart in BLU
Exactly. And not just any really long episode, it was a Marge/Homer relationship problems episode. Aka the worst episodesThe Simpsons movie was just a really long episode.
A mediocre long episode.
South Park the movie did something with the movie format and made an actual movie which still holds up today and still gets laughs.
This isn't even a contest, it's South Park. Simpsons was fairly disappointing, South Park was superb, especially the songs. "What would Brian Boitano do?" and "La Resistance" were particularly good.
When the South Park movie came out, it was a legit phenomenon. I vividly remember the crackdown on letting kids in to see the movie. When I was thirteen we all bought Wild Wild West tickets and successfully snuck in to South Park. The movie absolutely killed, the theater was legit wild with laughter.
South Park was a huge deal at the time and the movie hit with precision timing, much like the 1990 Ninja Turtles movie which also happened to be excellent. Blame Canada was nominated for an Oscar. Robin Williams performed it at the ceremony. Matt and Trey took LSD and dressed like Jennifer Lopez for the occasion:
With the Simpsons... I dunno. Spider-Pig became a meme, but kind of a weak and cringey one. The movie didn't have much cultural impact besides some thinkpieces and half-hearted efforts to check the show out again. Julie Kavner killed it in one amazing scene, but Harry Shearer is barely in the movie because he's so over it all.
Why did the Simpsons movie even need a Big Evil Bad Guy? It felt so simplistic and unlike the show. Even the underrated Flintstones movie has an interesting role reversal, with Fred getting the ill-earned promotion and Barney broke and bitter. The Simpsons just had Marge and Homer fight and threw a big dumb action scene at the end.
I recently watched Beavis and Butthead, it's still really good, but I'm not as high on it as I once was. It feels kinda phoned in, there's a lot of fanservicey Cornholio stuff. Sequences like the desert trip out scene are obviously amazing.
