Matt and Trey said, in the commentary for this episode, that the shot with Randy covered in *** was probably the most over the line thing they’ve ever put on screen, and they couldn’t believe that Comedy Central approved it
I mean he was just covered in ectoplasm from a ghost, what’s the big deal? I’m surprised they thought this was the most over the line thing, I guess just in terms of visual over the line
The black & white & vibe are a reference to The Grapes of Wrath. Great film about the great depression. Hard to watch though. Very emotional. Saw it with my grandfather (born 1901) who lived through it. Family of 9, 6 survived. He always talked about his brother Lafayette who died then.
Grandy always talked about going to work and staying at the Starlight Motel. I was young and naive and I thought the Starlight Motel was some kind of a hotel. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized that staying at the Starlight Motel meant sleeping in the woods. Being homeless while looking for work. But he ended up being an entrepreneur and develop skills as a gunsmith, a carpenter and an electrician. He worked for the Woodruff family off and on in atlanta. And they gave him some Coke stock, which turned out to be quite a gift.
The movie is based on a book that is great. When the Author, John Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize, the book was cited as a major reason. It is worth a read.
I remember the first time I saw this episode with a friend, and the part where Randy slams his fist down while saying "if we don't treat the internet with the RESPECT!..." had us dying laughing for like 10 minutes. Idk why but the delivery was so perfect and we still quote it to this day.
In case you were wondering, the ending speech Randy gives in the Native American outfit is a homage to the ending of the Steven Seagal movie “On Deadly Ground”, somehow they made it even more ridiculous than Seagal’s original speech about oil drilling in Alaska. 😂
@@stefanforrer2573 You’ve got a point there, but I was referring to how the speech was presented, not what was actually being said. People actually walked out of the theater laughing at Seagal’s speech back in the day. 😂
@@stefanforrer2573 lol Touché! To be fair, many of his early movies were entertaining, even if Seagal is the most one-dimensional guy in the business, and I have a soft spot for The Glimmer Man just on Keenan Ivory Wayans’ performance alone.
I still can't believe that originally, Segal's speech was supposed to be around 40 minutes long but the producers forced him to cut it to 5 or so minutes.
The Grapes of Wrath is a brilliant book and memorable movie. When Randy packs up the family to go to California, that is all taken from TGOW. This is another amazing episode that weaves in topical news and classic literature with the SP Universe.
Disagree, Steinbeck is overrated trash, and the stuff about some kind of mass starvation taking place during the Great Depression was just made up nonsense. It never happened.
11:50 This was what Trey Parker thought was the most offensive shot in any South Park episode ever. He actually could not believe the censors let them do this. You know it's boundary pushing when the creator of South Park admits they crossed the line.
I think that Randy Marsh's speech at the end was a spoof of Steven Seagall's speech at the end of "On Deadly Ground" ... and like Randy, Steven Seagull also pretended to be an Indian in that movie!
This episode is still ringing true in real life today. When the internet goes out(usually power outage) my whole apartment Commons comes out hissing like vampires and throwing their cell phone in the air for signal lol.
Another great episode to react to, Dash. It's scary how accurate this episode is in regards to online addiction. Much love to everyone from here in the UK
@@RomanSionis85 the Prophets, Matt & Trey spoke. No one listened. It makes me laugh at how spot on they are with things a good few years before anyone else dares to mention it.
@@dash.reacts it gets me worried that Matt & Trey may be prophets. They are spot on with topics of concern YEARS before anyone else even thinks to mention them
I was always wondering what those Japanese girls were talking about. Now it's even funnier that it was a totally non sequitur conversation that had nothing to do with the puking.
Its a reference to the Grapes of Wrath, the 1940 film. Highly recommend; its one of the few American movies that was screened in the USSR, because they thought it showed the failure of capitalism in the great depression. It was soon banned again, however, as the soviet peoples were impressed that everyone had cars
The song, "Goin down the road" and the story about the children starving came directly from the movie "Grapes of Wrath". The tragedy was the Dust Bowl era in the early 1900s.
I've always wondered what they were saying when the had Japanese dialogue in the show. You translating gives more context and makes it that much funnier. You sir are amazing.
As an IT security specialist… extended global Internet outage would be REALLY bad. We would quickly lose electricity, running water, the ability to distribute food, modern economics… and even internet porn.
9:48 I haven't seen close encounters of the third kind but when I saw this part of the episode it reminded me of monsters vs aliens, but they probably got their inspiration from the movie you mentioned
@4:53 To answer your question, they're referencing the movie "Grapes of Wrath" with Henry Fonda, which was set during the Great Depression and follows a poor family of farmers driven from their Oklahoma home by economic hardship out to California, where they look for work.
You know, this one has always been a favourite of mine but like with "Fun Times with Weapons" your knowledge of Japanese and also translating for us has made me appreciate these episodes so much much more. And of course, the Japanese in this episode would be something like this. Thank you for this, and keep up the good work. Always looking forward to reactions from you. :)
11:27 The Zula Patrol - The Villain of the Year references in South Park - Over Logging Space Announcer was Balancing 2 chairs and an elephant on his nose
My absolute favorite Randy Marsh episode is S14E14 Creme Fraiche. Nonstop laughs and it's Randy at his most Randy. Look up what a "shake weight" is before you watch it, haha!
The creators mentioned in commentary for this episode that every now and again someone at the office/studio would discover some new fetish material and circulate it around out of fascination. They mention at least some of it is just so ridiculous it's funny. Makes me wonder if that Japanese conversation was a real thing they pulled from somewhere.
This episode is a reference to the Grapes of Wrath and the massive migration of people from the Dust Bowl stricken areas of the Great Plains. And yes the scene where they attempt to "communicate" with the internet is a reference to Close Encounters of the Third Kind 😂.
5:00 It's referencing the The Dust Bowl of the early 1900's. These black and white scenes are specifically referencing an old movie based on a book called "The Grapes of Wrath." If you went to High School here in the States, you were probably forced to read it in It's entirety or at least parts of it.
All the grey parts are a reference to the Hollywood classic Grapes of Wrath, starting Henry Fonda! Great content! I just got COVID, but watching all your videos has been helping me through. Keep it up, Dash!
i did some research on major incidents where internet went down or was damage Egypt, 2008: Multiple submarine cables in the Mediterranean Sea were cut, affecting internet access across the Middle East, India, and parts of Europe. It took around 10 days for full repairs to be completed. Mauritius, 2020: A single submarine cable outage caused by damage led to significant internet disruption across the island. Since Mauritius relies heavily on one main cable, residents faced slow internet speeds and outages for several days until traffic was rerouted and repairs completed. Vietnam, 2021: Vietnam has experienced several submarine cable cuts, including a major one that took 2 to 3 weeks to fix. During that time, Vietnamese users faced slowdowns as internet traffic had to be rerouted through other countries.
4:29 Here South Park is specifically referencing the Movie, "Grapes of Wrath," which itself depicted the mass emigration of US citizens to California, who were a fleeing a combination of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.
no, this isnt a gold rush reference, its the dustbbowl baby, a nightmarish time for subsistence farmers in the 30s that displaced hundreds of thousands, leaving them homeless and desperate for greener pastures. the grapes of wrath was specifically parodied in this episode, to be precise.
I was an avid SP watcher back in the day. My dad was a college English professor. When they started doing the Grapes of Wrath spoof I sent him a message saying, “You HAVE to watch this week’s South Park!!! It’s really smart and funny!” Like RIGHT after that was the scene with Randy and the ectoplasm. I FREAKED out and sent Dad a message saying, “Wait! WAIT! I sent that after the first half of the episode!!!”
I love when Randy flips out and tells people to remain calm, when everyone else is already calm, PS. Dash your Japanese school girl voice freaked me out for a sec. Wish I could speak Japanese.
The black and white scenes, if I'm not mistaken, are a spoof on the old 1940's movie 'The Grapes of Wrath' (book by John Steinbeck) set during the gold rush. Much like the internet camps in the movie, those heading West found reprieve in these settlements where they "sort themselves out" and figure out how/ whether to continue their journey.
It references the Great Dust Bowl, which is when major dust storms wiped out crops all over the south and Midwest and people went west mostly to California.
The old timey feel is referencing the Dust Bowl that happened in the 1930s. Thousands of people left their homes in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri, with over 300,000 coming to California.
it was the dust bowl coupled with the depression. all the topsoil in the farms across the mid west all dried up and blew away due to a change in the wind patterns of the time
It's a parody of the book/movie "Grapes of Wrath" which took place during the "Great Dust Bowl" that took place in the US midwest during the great depression...(1930's)
The answer to where the internet is is Northern Virginia. At least 70% of the World's internet traffic travels through data centers in NoVa. I've seen the warehouses, they're gigantic
Randy leaving to cali is like a direct reference to the dust bowl in the panhandle of texas and around there. Such a massive drought and sandstorms people where forced to stay and wait it out or leave to another region it lasted years in almost unlivable conditions which is basically them with no internet “unlivable conditions”💀💀
The trip they take to a "californy" is modeled after an old movie called "Grapes of wrath" about the oaklahoma dust bowl when they went to Cali. looking for work and food
This followed the John Steinbeck story The Grapes of Wrath...a Depression era family from Oklahoma has to leave when their farm collapses..they are forced the go west, to Californee, where they hear they have jobs..
Hopefully you can react to Season 6, Episode 13: "The Return of The Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers". It was my major introduction to South Park and is absolute comedy gold!
The scene at the end with Randy in the weird jacket where he fist slams the podium is a Steven Segal reference from the movie On deadly ground, I think.
Honestly personally I dont think south park over exaggerates how people would react to the internet going away. The Internet is pretty much a need more than a want these days. It would be covid ×1000 For recommendations I recommend the episode "breast cancer show ever" cartman gets the ultimate karma in this episode
Think of it this way. Gas/fuel suppliers use the internet to make orders and organise their logistics, supermarkets, international shipping, and paying employees. Most of the original infrastructure they were used before the internet has been removed or left to deteriorate.
Man I love Southpark and don't really see many reactions to it, so your channel is a gem. Glad I found it a few weeks ago been watching it while cooking and its great. Can't wait for more and if you ever make a patreon with full episodes it would forsure be the first one I'd sub too. Keep it up dash!
Realistically if the internet did go away/stop working for an extended period everyone would adapt bc that’s just in our nature as humans. Lol funny thing is I guarantee stress levels would go down and actual human connection in person would increase as well. I remember a bad ice storm a couple years ago and was without power and the internet for like a week or so, after initially being irritated I didn’t really miss anything (except hot showers since it was winter) and found myself at peace. Haha it’s ridiculous though bc even though I felt better without it, as soon as it came back it’s like I was drawn back to it. We as humans overall really are addicted to the internet, social media, etc.
Remember the inspiration for this episode. Several years back the government told us maintenance was needed for the internet servers gave us the date and most of us forgot the date or never heard in the first place so when the day came a fair amount of people freaked wondering why their internet wasn't working.
Awesome reaction video! My wife gasped and inhaled a small percentage of the atmosphere during this episode. I think it goes without saying what part that is. The only other episode that made her gasp like that was, "Eek, A Penis" (Season 12, episode 5, Garrison episode with a Cartman side story parodying Stand and Deliver).
Australia had an entite isp go down. They also operated a phone line as well so people had no internet or mo phone. Payphones didnt even work. Optis was the 2nd most popular service provider
The black and white "Old-Timey" tone is referencing the Dust-Bowl & Great Depression era of the 1930s as portrayed in "Grapes of Wrath" . If unfamiliar, it was about the massive droughts in the Great Plains and people moving out to California to try to find food and work. They get there and it's just as bad due to overcrowding caused by the mass migrations. People end up starving as bad out there.

Bono being a literal giant turd was out there too.
What about Mrs Garrisons Genital Surgery 🤮
I mean he was just covered in ectoplasm from a ghost, what’s the big deal? I’m surprised they thought this was the most over the line thing, I guess just in terms of visual over the line
Personally I think Ike and his teacher naked in bed after she raped him is much more messed up, than Randy masturbating and cumming on himself lol

@@Sinvare Steinbeck is my favorite author. I agree the book is well worth the read.
It’s a book
Grapes of Wrath is about the dust bowl more specifically
I remember the first time I saw this episode with a friend, and the part where Randy slams his fist down while saying "if we don't treat the internet with the RESPECT!..." had us dying laughing for like 10 minutes. Idk why but the delivery was so perfect and we still quote it to this day.
I was dying laughing reading this 🤣
🤣
the resPECT
So many episodes had my friends and I dying like that on certain lines. We still reference a lot of them today. Matt and Trey are absolute geniuses.
I'm pretty sure this was a reference to Steven Seagal's film On Deadly Ground, the ending scene where he talks about pollution.
In case you were wondering, the ending speech Randy gives in the Native American outfit is a homage to the ending of the Steven Seagal movie “On Deadly Ground”, somehow they made it even more ridiculous than Seagal’s original speech about oil drilling in Alaska. 😂

It's supposed to be the Grapes of Wrath where Oklahomans during the Great Depression/dustbowl moved to California.
i did some research on major incidents where internet went down or was damage
Egypt, 2008: Multiple submarine cables in the Mediterranean Sea were cut, affecting internet access across the Middle East, India, and parts of Europe. It took around 10 days for full repairs to be completed.
Mauritius, 2020: A single submarine cable outage caused by damage led to significant internet disruption across the island. Since Mauritius relies heavily on one main cable, residents faced slow internet speeds and outages for several days until traffic was rerouted and repairs completed.

Dash your translations to these Japanese dialogues makes the scene even funnier
Suggesting Season 15 Episode 4 - "T.M.I."
Another episode where Randy (and Cartman) go over the top. Hilarious.

The black and white scenes, if I'm not mistaken, are a spoof on the old 1940's movie 'The Grapes of Wrath' (book by John Steinbeck) set during the gold rush. Much like the internet camps in the movie, those heading West found reprieve in these settlements where they "sort themselves out" and figure out how/ whether to continue their journey.

I've seen the episode many times but your reaction made me finally understanding what those Japanese girls puking in each others' mouths were saying
"It slimed me!" Simultaneously **hurk** & LOL!
I like the addition of the 'rabbit hole' references popups.
Randy dressed up as a Native American Chief or some kind at the end always kills me🤣🤣🤣🤣
When the episode went black and white it was like a mix of the Great Depression and the Oregon Trail.
The trip they take to a "californy" is modeled after an old movie called "Grapes of wrath" about the oaklahoma dust bowl when they went to Cali. looking for work and food
This followed the John Steinbeck story The Grapes of Wrath...a Depression era family from Oklahoma has to leave when their farm collapses..they are forced the go west, to Californee, where they hear they have jobs..
The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
Upping the production quality on your way to 10K, I see. I like it.
Thanks for the Japanese translation you inspire me to learn Japanese
The episode "medicinal fried chicken" probably has my favorite Randy line in the whole show in it
Hopefully you can react to Season 6, Episode 13: "The Return of The Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers". It was my major introduction to South Park and is absolute comedy gold!
I'd like to recommend season 8's "something wall-mart this way comes" and also "quest for ratings." Some of my favs of this show.
The scene at the end with Randy in the weird jacket where he fist slams the podium is a Steven Segal reference from the movie On deadly ground, I think.
Randy Marsh is the best part of this episode, I love this episode, but I can't imagine it will be like with no internet.
Honestly personally I dont think south park over exaggerates how people would react to the internet going away. The Internet is pretty much a need more than a want these days. It would be covid ×1000
For recommendations I recommend the episode "breast cancer show ever" cartman gets the ultimate karma in this episode
The scary part is…I think you might be right. Thanks for sharing and for recommending!
@@dash.reacts your welcome, I think the black and white part of episode is a spoof on the grapes of wrath not entirely sure though
Think of it this way. Gas/fuel suppliers use the internet to make orders and organise their logistics, supermarkets, international shipping, and paying employees. Most of the original infrastructure they were used before the internet has been removed or left to deteriorate.
Have to watch “The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers”. A classic episode.
I worry about watching those because I won’t know many of the references. I haven’t seen Lord of the Rings.
@@dash.reacts i was the same way when i watched it. But you dont need to watch it to understand it, except one famous line.
@@dash.reacts don't worry, is not necessary context to enjoy , is not really about the movie , the plot is VERY different way
@@dash.reacts Yeah you really don’t need any context for that one😂
They are referencing 'The Grapes of Wrath'.
Man I love Southpark and don't really see many reactions to it, so your channel is a gem. Glad I found it a few weeks ago been watching it while cooking and its great. Can't wait for more and if you ever make a patreon with full episodes it would forsure be the first one I'd sub too. Keep it up dash!
The black and white reference and the plot reminds me of the old movie "The Grapes of Wrath"!
Realistically if the internet did go away/stop working for an extended period everyone would adapt bc that’s just in our nature as humans. Lol funny thing is I guarantee stress levels would go down and actual human connection in person would increase as well. I remember a bad ice storm a couple years ago and was without power and the internet for like a week or so, after initially being irritated I didn’t really miss anything (except hot showers since it was winter) and found myself at peace. Haha it’s ridiculous though bc even though I felt better without it, as soon as it came back it’s like I was drawn back to it. We as humans overall really are addicted to the internet, social media, etc.
Hey Dash, great reaction as usual.
Another must-see episode is "Breast Cancer Show Ever" (season 12 episode 9). It's peak Cartman.
Remember the inspiration for this episode. Several years back the government told us maintenance was needed for the internet servers gave us the date and most of us forgot the date or never heard in the first place so when the day came a fair amount of people freaked wondering why their internet wasn't working.
Awesome reaction video! My wife gasped and inhaled a small percentage of the atmosphere during this episode. I think it goes without saying what part that is. The only other episode that made her gasp like that was, "Eek, A Penis" (Season 12, episode 5, Garrison episode with a Cartman side story parodying Stand and Deliver).
Australia had an entite isp go down. They also operated a phone line as well so people had no internet or mo phone. Payphones didnt even work. Optis was the 2nd most popular service provider
The black and white "Old-Timey" tone is referencing the Dust-Bowl & Great Depression era of the 1930s as portrayed in "Grapes of Wrath" . If unfamiliar, it was about the massive droughts in the Great Plains and people moving out to California to try to find food and work. They get there and it's just as bad due to overcrowding caused by the mass migrations. People end up starving as bad out there.
Love watching this channel when I cook and eat supper. full episodes are the best!
