South Park: W.T.F.

South Park had a good couple of episodes to start their Fall run, but their third episode, titled W.T.F., really lacked the quality the first 2 had. I knew it was a matter of time before South Park took a jab at the WWE, and since I used to watch wrestling, I was excited to see what they would do. I know wrestling has a lot of acting involved, so I figured they'd make that their focus.
So the episode focused on how the boys, after seeing a WWE show, decide to put on their own wrestling show. This attracts the attention of all the stereotypical rednecks that the WWE does. Say what you want about the WWE, but they sell out shows every week. I love that they brought back the "Took our jobs!" line that I loved so much. Other than that line, the episode wasn't that good. Their wrestling event became more of a Broadway play by the end. I thought the fact that the event had intermissions and the audience were drinking wine during it was a funny little addition. The making fun of real wrestling was also an interesting commentary.

Other than those few points, this episode really lacked the comedy that made previous episodes so great. They tried so hard to make fun of wrestling that they forgot to make it really funny in the process. There really isn't much else to say beyond that.

This episode gets a 6.5

And yes real wrestling is totally gay.
