How did they get away with putting mickey mouse? lol
^That's what I was thinking, I thought for sure Comedy Central would not allow that because of Mickey's litigiousness.
Parody. Parody is one of the ways you can avoid copyright lawsuits.
I can't get enough of mickey being an asshole, and kicking that kid in the face.
For me this episode wasn't too funny at all. Maybe because I don't know who the Jonas Brothers are. What I got from watching it was they are some Christan boy band popular with little girls that are on the Disney channel that preach absence till marriage.
Anyway it wasn't even funny, yea I get it Jonas Brothers suck, ok now give me some funny jokes or move on to something else. Very unimpressed with the season opener.
Oh god, I lolled when Mickey showed up, funny shit. Was a decent episode, but nothing over-the-top funny, but definitely not the worse.
Liked the unexpectedness of mickey mouse, and the ending was great. The only problem with it is it's not as funny seeing it the second time.
I loved how the disney band way overdid the "BAYBAAAAAAAYs" though.
The G.I. Joe reference as the last 2 lines was gold. I really wasn't expecting it.
Isn't Mickey part of the public domain now or something? I'm no lawyer in copyright/patent laws etc, I just remember a friend mentioning something about it. iirc, PBS had a documentary on Disney and said something about the rights to Mickey but it's been awhile since i've seen it so I can't remember exactly.
edit: oh, and I thought the episode at first was a little loli'esque almost with all the puns (white foam etc) with the comedy but the last half had me fucking rolling with laughter.
Just watched it a second time this morning. When the news announcer is like "As Mickey returns to Valhalla, to slumber and feed." HAHAHA WTF.
So I used to want to be a Cartoon Voice Actor when I was a little kid.
And my favorite hobby is pissing off my roommate to no end.
After seeing that on Wednesday I realized just how amazing it is to hold every conversation with my roommate in the Mickey Mouse voice and end all my sentences with "Ha ha."

We apologize...
the implications of the term "the coon" is priceless. Queue jesse jackson in an uproar.
I'll be disappointed if it's not Token.
It's probably randy, tbh.
could be kenny without the parka hood on
I'm thinking Butters' alter ego or possibly Kyle as the hero.
Damn, that's a pro costume.
