The Jonas Bros rendering is sweet. The plotline seems a little generic though. Whatever, I'm sure it'll be sweet.

Oh my god I'm going to love this episode!
Haha, the preview image of the JBros are awesome.
Joe looks out of place.
Also...his girlfriend looks a bit like Miley Cyrus?

Kenny finally has a episode. ;p He has been underused lately.
Hate the Jonas Brothers, good on Matt & Trey for what I'm hoping to be a totally rip out episode.

Hey now, there is ALWAYS humor for us folks older than 14! But maybe that's just cuz my humor never matured past 14.

The only episode for 14-year-olds from last season was the HSM one. That ep really, really blew. I mean, it had one or two funny moments, but was just unnecessary.

here's the deal. teenybopper chicks get interested in boys for realz, but they're too young to deal with dating an actual guy. the guys their age are not quite as developed as they are, and if they date an older guy they'll have to deal with pressure to have sex etc. that they're just not ready for yet. plus, there's that whole rejection thing. the perfect solution is to have a huge crush on someone slightly (but not *that* much) older than they are who is so completely out of reach that it's never gonna happen. it's "safe."
jonas brothers are no different than any teenage man-boy who's fulfilled that role in the past.

Pop idols. For my sisters it was Shaun Cassidy and the Bee Gees. Pick up an issue of Teen Beat or Tiger Beat magazine or something. I can't imagine many college-age girls being into them.

I'm only in it for Kevin! Nick's cute, but Joe looks total fug, someone on my Twitter/AIM sent me their latest album but I've only got into 1-2 songs, and yeah I'm 19 stfu.
I've never had any crushes on any Pop idols or Boy band types when I was younger, or at least none come to mind.
For me it was just DanRad and Rupert Grint.

Making fun of Disney and television shows aimed towards pre-teens is like shooting fish in a barrel. Not sure these guys are worthy of South Park's satire, is the show loosing it's edge?

To be honest, I think there is going to be more done with this episode then just making fun of Disney stars.
They're going to parody promise rings which is beyond pop culture, and I find that's going to be more about the rings then just laughing at a popular boy band.

So fucking funny. Loved it. And knowing is half the battle. What a great ending. Lol, and I loved Mickey yelling, "Noooo!!! Goddamnit!!!! Noooooo!!!!!!"
I miss the late 80s/early 90s Disney Channel when they had shows like Under the Umbrella Tree and Donald Duck cartoons. Fuck those fags and sluts that set up camp at 'Club Disney' these days. And you know, it's the kids that are going to get fucked, literally and figuratively. Haha, oh well.

That's the kind of South Park that I like
Good that they came up with something good (and that has a point) for a change. Maybe not THE most epic of the episodes but still, liked it. Can't really think of much bad to say about it actually.
I loved the self-reference. "We'll have plenty of time for that when we're in our late 30s and when we are boring and lame anyway" or something like that.
They said on one of the mini commentaries (I think it was Cartman's Silly Hate Crime) that it's hard to get away with fucking with Disney because they are so hardcore on sueing people. I don't know how they got away with THIS then.

Pretty good episode, glad to see the episode was ripping more on Disney and purity rings rather than the Jonis Brothers which I felt was too easy of a target.
Mickey Mouse as the president of Disney.... I dunno the whole idea felt rushed. One of those moments where they are saying to themselves "Ok we got this good idea now who is the bad guy responsible for all this? Uhh shit, shit, shit. Just make it Mickey Mouse!" Although the ending with Mickey Mouse as Godzilla or something, was hilarious.
Loved the Kenny death.
Good start, hope more of the same is to come.
3.5/5

You can see it online for a week, I hope. I am going to watch it now. No TV here, but thankfully they are usually posted. I'll be back to piss and moan if it's not uploaded yet. =P
Good thing I've seen in comments all over, people that I usually agree with on the show all seem to like it, so I think it will be a really good one.

'South Park' saves the Jonas Brothers' soulsThe rather awe-inspiring season premiere of South Park last night looked, at first, as though it was going to pander to its audience by making fun of the Jonas Brothers, but once again triumphantly turned the tables on pop-culture hypocrisy. Invoking the time-honored power of rock music to inspire feelings of joyous lust, the 13-season opener found Kenny with his first girlfriend, Tammy, a Jonas fan who was moved to perform certain sexual acts in thrall to Jonas-music... until the noble band convinced her and legions of other fans to wear purity rings and abstain.
But this being South Park, the satire quickly expanded exponentially. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone suggested that perhaps the Disney company, as embodied here by a squawking, expletive-spewing Mickey Mouse, "can sell sex to the little girls" deviously: the Jonas Brothers are packaged as safe and chaste, even as their music inevitably gets the kids all hot 'n' bothered. When the Jonas boys decide they're being used, Mickey yelps that he's been in control of pop culture "since the '50s" and goes on a cynical rant against Christianity that's picked up by an open microphone and broadcast to a vast audience.
Thus did South Park ultimately come down on the side of religion and sexual freedom, with lots of big laughs in the bargain. Cartman's delightfully clueless, crude warnings against sex must be seen and heard in context (I dare not print his magnificently warped view of the female anatomy here, but you can catch a rerun). And don't worry, the show retained its traditions: Kenny dies, but in a new way I wouldn't dream of spoiling for anyone who missed it.
All this, plus Cartman offers the most definitive, pungent critique of Grey's Anatomy ever. This was an episode Kevin, Joe, Nick Jonas and you could get behind. Especially if you think a purity ring should actually stand for something. Trey and Matt are off to a great 13th-season start.

Grey's Anatomy really does suck balls. With Spaghetti Monster as my witness, I'll never watch that damned show again.
