South Park's Guitar Hero episode!

Ok, what do Guitar Hero fans think of this episode? Like it, hate it, want to torch Matt and Trey's house for the ending? Speak your mind.

I didn't even watch it as I haven't found South Park funny since about the 2nd season, and I still want to torch their house(s)

I'd say the beginning with Stan's dad standing in his underwear with his hand up in the "rockfist" is pretty accurate.

I've never liked South Park, but I tuned in to watch some of this episode since it was about GH. Sadly, it was just as unfunny as ever I'm afraid....

I thought it was clever. I especially lulz'd when they played buckethead without audio.

Personally, the ending of the episode was classic.

(The Game after the kids get 1,000,000 points)
"Congratulations, you've played Guitar Hero long enough to get a million points. YOU ARE FAGS!"

Honestly, the episode was a great satire on people who take the scoring and competitive aspect of rhythm gaming too seriously to me. When it comes to TV shows covering gaming, I'm inclined to consider South Park head and shoulders above everybody else.
