Loved the ep but Jesus that was the worst McConaughey I've ever heard.

Why did McConaughey fall into a wormhole? Haha
These are the Wacky Races
It is very rare that South Park attempts accurate voices for celebrities.
I imagine that he will be back though after being sucked up into that hole.

True Detective related maybe?

Yeah same here. I was laughing hysterically at that particular part but the rest of it was kind of meh. And this is coming from someone who fucking adored the first three episodes. I just didn't find it that absorbing or funny. Kind of felt like one of the B episodes that South Park used to make.
Like the Wacky Races part. Didn't really find that funny at all. Hope next week's episode is better.

I thought this episode was mostly mediocre, but goddamn if "Wacky Races as a multination bloodsport" isn't just about the funniest thing i've heard this season

Even though I spent my childhood in the 90's, I definitely watched Wacky Racers, but it was one of those cartoons I had completely forgotten about and South Park just jogged my memory bank. Loved the episode once the Wacky Racer bit began.

A hook for next weeks episode, I bet.
Interstellar should be releasing right around an episode in the series. I bet they are waiting for its release to put something together. Wormholes and all. They still need to see the movie beforewriting the episode. They are just going off what they can deduct from the trailer for now. They are essentially setting up a joke and wating for the film to give them a punchline.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
The hell is wrong with people here?
Who doesn't remember Wacky Races? Dick Dastardly! Muttley! And the spin-off, the Perilous Pitfalls of Penelope Pitstop?
I'm only 24 and I remember it like the back of my hand.

It lasted from 68 to 70, and I am not even sure I know why I have seen it. My guess is that they showed repeats during the early days of Cartoon Network, but that was still 20 years ago.

Matt & Trey completely owned that Wacky Races homage... check out how closely they patterned their intro to the original right here.
While Wacky Races is most definitely dated, the concept was modernized slightly for Laff-A-Lympics which got plenty of play on the USA Network during the 80s. So you might have some familiarity with that instead. There was also a redone Wacky Races concept in the 1990s as part of Wake, Rattle, and Roll called the Fender Bender 500.
There we go, that is what I watched. I was wondering why it seemed so familiar but lacked the classic HB characters I recalled.

Another great episode. I think the ending was the best part.
I can't believe so many people haven't seen Wacky Races

Absolutely brilliant episode. Haven't laughed that hard over a SP episode in a long long time. I don't think I understand what Handicar was supposed to be referencing exactly, but everything else was awesome.

I know some people aren't fans of the McConaughey sequences, but after seeing the damn ads nonstop during playoff baseball, it definitely gave me a laugh.
Also. Wacky Races are AMAZING!

They are referencing "uber". I'm not a user but it's pretty ubiquitous in NYC. It's like airbnb but your renting a backseat ride (the decent kind

The puns were amusing, and I can see how it's potentially really funny and charming to some, but I personally thought it was just so-so.

I use to watch Wacky Races reruns.
I don't really like Nathan and Mimsy, but I thought it was a funny parallel to put them in Wacky Races along with similar characters in Dick Dastardly and Muttley.
A step below the first three episodes of the season, IMO. But still decent. Wacky Races was probably the best part.

I watched a lot of Wacky Races growing up. Maybe it's that or the portrayal of cabs, but this episode had me in stitches.
she understood what he was saying but they weren't gonna let that interfere with their vacation
This was the weakest episode of the season yet, but I'll be damned, I laughed at "you just need to have the snake sued for sexual misconduct", so overly dumb.
Wacky Races was a great idea though, that's for sure. I saw a ton of reruns of Wacky Races in the '90s so I loved the references, it came out of nowhere and fit the episode great. Honestly without it the episode would be way worse.
I wonder what they are setting up with Interstellar.

Laff-A-Lympics is what I remember.

matthew mcconaughey -- fucking hilarious. the actual commercials are so embarrassingly bad, i love that they made fun of them. him going into a black hole is wtf hilarious
wacky races omg. i love that dick dastardly and muttley didn't die, maybe they'll come back lol

Just finished watching last week's episode/ So good. The ending of some of the episodes have just been right on point, good message.
Edit - Finished watching the new episode now. Cartoon Network played the hell out of Wacky Races when it went up. That, and my Mom always told me how she watched it when she was younger. My sister loved Penelope Pitstop and Dick Dasturdly and Mutley are kind of iconic as the neer-do-wells of that sorta show.
Gotta hand it to south park for Coming up with that out of nowhere though. I love Nathan and Mimsey, they reminded me of the previously mentioned neer-do-wells in their last episode. though I agree this wasn't as enjoyable as the first 3 episodes, it was still well done.
Is this the first season where through the first 3 episodes they've all referred back to the previous episodes for certain points? I don't seem to remember them ever doing that, other than a couple multi-part episodes that the series has had.

McConaughey's voice killed me the first time. I couldn't stop laughing.
The bathroom scene was pretty bad, I thought.

I thought it was a reference to True Detective.
They used to show Wacky Waces, Flintstones, Jetsons and Scooby Doo literally all the time back in the 90s in the UK. Can't remember which channel though. I also watched Dastardly and Muttley in their flying machines constantly on VHS
So yeah I got the references. I uh...still thought the episode was weak.

Overall I thought this episode wasn't good. The first half was a bit boring, the Wacky Races spin was fun, but even then the race itself wasn't great.
Also too bad it didn't really tie in anymore with the previous episode.
