Guitar Queer-o

I can't help but feel like this Episode is somewhat of an Allegory to the Real-Life Relationship between the South Park Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

I believe it is no secret - and no offense to Stone whatsoever - that Parker has more artistic influence to the series, since he directed and wrote most of the episodes (including the movies "Bigger, Longer, Uncut" and "Team America: World Police") and music for South Park.

Now don't get me wrong, i think that South park would't be what it is today if it wasn't for the both of them.

But since Stan and Kyle are Parker and Stones alter-egos, i think it is very possible that their real-life relationship has reached that point which is described in this episode somewhere in the recent past and they tried to cope with it or get closure on it by processing it into an South Park episode.

just my 2 cents.

Guitar Queer-o is the second to last episode of Season 11.This episode spoofs the popular "Guitar hero" video game series, as well as rock stars in general.Stan and Kyle are excellent at guitar hero and reach 100,000 points.Afterwords a record producer comes and asks them to beat 1,000,000 points.They start hanging out with all the celebrities and the life seems well, until Stan betrays Kyle after a talk with the producer.Stan then buys a game called "heroin hero" and becomes addicted to it.This causes him to play worse and eventually lose his 1,000,000 points.He then does some thinking and asks Kyle for forgiveness and if they can play again as friends.The ending of this episode is fairly funny and the character "Randy" is hilarious as usual.The episode has a fairly good soundtrack of actual songs such as "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas & "John The Fisherman" by Primus.The episode is pretty funny and interesting as well.Overall a good south park episode.

This episode was very funny to me, and I watched it with my friends who are not avid South Park fans like myself. They loved the episode, and they are the kind of people that would find a reason to not like something. Maybe we (regular viewers) have higher standards of South Park episodes, but considering they just got off of Imaginationland, as you said, I think they are entitled to a break from originality and to just make a fun episode, similarly to the season's ending episode, "The List". For me, it was far from disappointing. I'm also a big video game fan, and I had a bias against Guitar Hero before this episode aired, so maybe I enjoyed it too much for different reasons. Oh well, that's my 2 cents.

I just watched this episode of South Park for at least the 4th time. For fun, I went on this site to see if after all these years, ANYONE else noticed the blatant references to "Boogie Nights". I've never seen that comparison mentioned here and still haven't. I"m shocked. The producer (or whatever, the episode ended 1/2 an hour ago, I forget) is so obviously The Colonel from Boogie Nights and the cocktail party is clearly from that movie. It's brilliant.

The episode is terrific. I really enjoyed it and saw the comparison to so many other movies it's awesome, but since no one prior to this mentioned the BN reference before, I HAD to submit this.

I've never been disappointed by South Park and don't expect to ever be, I'll stop here. Those who say, "SOUTH PARK HAS LOST IT..." are obviously out of touch with reality and the simple fact that some episodes may not work FOR THEM, but that means nothing in the grand scheme. STFU.

Thank you.
