    Best one this season!

    The best animated site on TV has evolved... I think for the better.. It feels more grown up but always carrys that edginess to it. Anyways, this episode is a smart, funny and current one that deals with mobile gaming apps and their in-app purchase methods.. Explained hilariously by the Canadians with regards to their own Terence and Philip gaming app. The live add with the drink add had me in stitches with Trey screaming Drink, you in a tuxedo, fast cars, bitches, more drink, even more cars etc... It was just random and I love those random south park moments.

    Easily the best episode so far in a decent season... I'd rank seasons 8 as probably my all time best but hey, I'm just glad the show is still going and always, while not as stand out as past season episodes, it still keeps things fresh. I hope the trend of 10 episodes doesn't mean we'll see less and less coz that would be tragic, I don't watch any other animated show tbh, this one just ticks the right boxes, it's more clever, funnier and always have a point to it, too many people are put off by the filth and swearing of the beautiful side of south park lol

    8 out of 10, very good episode overall, very funny in places, Randy with the wine scenes had me cracking up πŸ˜„

    Hypocritical

    Okay, so maybe Tray Parker and Matt Stone aren't models of integrity, but calling out "freemium" games and then putting out South Park Phone Destroyer maybe the most hypocritical thing ever done.

    A funny episode with amazing moments

    Freemuin isn't free is a new episode with funny moments. The episode starts out with Jimmy recommending a new Terrance and Phillip app to Sta n and it seems that Stan later gets addicted to the game and it turns out he got an addiction problem just like his dad and Grandfather. Meanwhile Terrance and Phillip find out about there game and how bad it is. The Episode itself didn't have amazing writing. But the dialog in many parts were really good. They set up the jokes pretty well especially in the beer commercial. The finally of the episode was really funny with the Canadian devil. This was a funny episode Overall episode 8.5/10

    Best episode this Season

    Once again, the team behind South Park manages to tell a perfect story about a current issue. The Southpark episode is definitely enough to satisfy even though, its not a top 10 best episode. It is the best episode so far this season.

    The writers have succeeded in understanding their audience from the first episode. They keep it coming and they keep coming about with interesting topics for SouthPark to be about. This episde has a perfect mix of comedy, reality and fiction.

    Though, perfect choice of characters, plot twists and intensity makes this episode worth watching.

    Im giving this episode a perfect 8 out of 10.
