Tiger Woods drives 'South Park' ratings

The season premiere of South Park, which featured Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin, in a foul-mouthed parody of celebrity sex addiction, drew 3.7 million viewers, making it the most watched South Park premiere since 1999. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Comedy Central’s Wednesday night, which also featured the series premiere of Ugly Americans, was the network’s most-watched night of the year.

    South park was hilarious and I highly enjoyed Ugly Americans.

    Hilarious, and yet again, uncannily well-timed, thanks to Jesse James.

    Great news. I said it yesterday… but I really enjoyed the episode. For those who haven’t watched it in a while, they’ll be reminded how great this show is for skewering pop culture… and in this case, that includes the media and a lot of celebrities.

    Is it like season 26 now??

    • Danno

      Season 14 actually

    I dont think I have ever laughed harder at a south park episode, especially when Ben Roethlisburger showed up.

  • Steven

    Butter’s meltdown at the funeral made me fall off the couch I was laughing so hard. A Top 5 episode.

  • Brian

    I’ve seen much MUCH better episodes honestly, but there were a few funny moments such as Butters and the chimp test.

    Classic South Park, loved it, but did anyone else feel this episode felt rushed? they’re usually better about celebrity voice impressions, they were all pretty bad. Obama, Roethlisberger, Letterman, etc. And since when is Elin woods a chubby housewife? Last I checked she was in model form.

      There’s a disclaimer at the beginning that says that celebrity voices are impersonated poorly.

      Other than that, I agree that it felt a bit rushed, but still hilarious nevertheless.

      I can’t wait to see what else South Park has to offer this season…

  • Wil

    Wow, I figured South Park got 4-5 Million viewers easily cause it’s so funny….but I guess I never thought about what channel its on, etc.
