They did it again, but better than ever!
Deriving from The Matrix and Inception, this episode is all about virtual reality.
It is mind-blowing and just mesmerizing to watch.
Maybe one of the greatest episodes to date!

I ALMOST would have given this episode 10 stars, except... there was a very meddling inaccuracy (which startled me). When it comes to Indian call centers, they pretty much never have multiple clocks up on the wall showing different time zones, and as proven by Jim Browning in his Dumbest Scammer Awards videos, if you actually do ask an Indian tech support person what time is it (in a particular time zone), they either won't give a straight answer or they would have to resort to looking it up on Google. So to see those clocks up on the wall in the scenes featuring Steve (the customer service representative), it just didn't feel right.
This episode took it up a notch it really showed at least in my opinion that Matt and Trey still haven't lost there touch. The written in this episode was especially on point. TO the point that you will be thinking to yourself what it happening. Now many people complained about the face that this episode reminded them about Inception which it did to me too. BUt that is not the problem the problem is that they think that this episode wasn't original which in some points they are right. In other words some people are saying this episode is basically Insheeption and I can see why because it reminded me of that episode too. But either way the episode was very funny and thought out the whole reference to the GTA series was pretty funny.The whole costumer service was funny but I felt it was to dragged on and lost its touch at one point.Then the whole conversation with Kyle and Cartman was pretty funny the whole fu talk. Either way this was a funny well written episode that stepped it up a notch and made my expectation a little higher for season 18. 9/10
Grounded Vindaloop has to be the best episode of 18th season so far. The previous episodes were not that funny, but this one was a mind tripping laughter riot. It was like watching Nolan's film which is very intricate, but satisfying to the core.
There was a point when we can't understand what's reality and what's virtual world. This episode was on Oculus Rift- which is virtual reality headsets for 3D gamings. The episode tells that it really messes up your head. The customer service executive part was particularly hilarious. I think its first time, Matt & Trey made such an intricate episode.
They surely can try in this genre as well, apart from just comedy. Two thumbs up & I give 10/10 to this episode. I know now that Matt & Trey have still a lot to offer after 18 years.

I had stopped watching South Park some years ago after watching the entire 12 or 13 first seasons. I felt the series was relying too much on toilet humor and just became exhausting.
But the other day I decided to download and binge watch the past few seasons. Good stuff alternating with lame stuff, all normal. If you watch one after the other, on average you will be entertained, since the very good ones cancel out the so-so.
But then this episode came and blew my mind. It's the best I've seen, and the IMDb community seems to feel the same way, given the 9.2 rating. I could not stop laughing from beginning to end.

Did you know
- TriviaWhen working on the episode, particularly after the first act, Parker and Stone became confused as to which world is the real world. They said to themselves beforehand that it will work, they'll figure it out later, but when that later came, it was more difficult to put it all together than expected.
- GoofsButters puts on the headphones first and the goggles afterwards, which would be super awkward and unnatural in and of itself. The goggles' headband ends up over the headphones but magically under the strips of duct tape that were on the headphones before he even put those on.
