Television Heroin Hero

This is too freakin’ rich.
The most recent episode of South Park centers on Guitar Hero, and there are a bunch of hilarious bits throughout the show: Kyle and Stan are signed to a record deal based on their virtual version of “Carry on My Wayward Son;” Stan’s dad, who plays actual guitar, is scoffed at by Cartman—“Real guitars are for old people”—and discovers he’s awful at the game; after hitting the bigtime, Kyle succumbs to the pressures of rockstardom and moves on to the game Heroin Hero, a “first person shooter,” with two outstretched arms and one hand clutching a syringe as a pink dragon—who you chase but never catch—taunts the player in a cartoon voice.
The four clips above are pretty much the whole episode. Watch ‘em while you can before Viacomm takes them off YouTube.
"you never catch the dragon dad..."
I knew my spot in hell was sealed when I laughed through this entire episode.
Oh man, this was a fine episode that Heroin shooter game had me laughing. This was is a keep, a classic in the South Park Library.
Speaking of "Christmastime in South Park" came out on DVD today, All the Christmas episodes on one disc, and the packaging looks like on of those old school Golden Age Children's Books. Nice Touch.
What a great episode. How come this show hasn't started to suck yet? In fact, the past couple of seasons have been especially strong.
Nice work, JZ. Wish I had cable sometimes...
who needs cable when you have line out? (and more specifically youtube?)
You idiot. Stan gets into Heroin Hero, not Kyle. Kyle is kicked out of the "duo". Come on now.

There are plenty of other full episodes on that site as well.
I've never liked Kansas much either.
I was reading Thurston Moore's interview in bitchfork the other day, and apparently he got his ass schooled in guitar hero.
The ending when they finally get the million points is such a great payoff. I cried, I was laughing so hard.
same here, bunnypunch.
Of course just yesterday, my friends came back to my place fresh from getting high with the neighbor and walked in on me playing Guitar Hero II by myself. I can't tell you how long they laughed....
