I remember that before the Wii came out, one gaming website had a poll asking "How badly do you want the Wii?", and the options were: -Bad -Really bad -Worse than Cartman
The part where Cartman is travelling through time, with the music and everything, is a homage to the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century show from the 80's. I loved that show when I was a kid!
One of my favorite shows as a kid. I loved it when South Park did it in this episode. It actually started in 79, so a little more of a 70’s show than 80’s.
I saw this South Park episode when I was a little kid and didn't know what Buck Rogers was until I was much older. I did go back and watch the first season of Buck, it was a pretty good show.
@@darrylcarden1851 First season was 79 so most of it was in the 80's, but I get your meaning. The esthetics is certainly very 70's... Twiggy twiggy twiggy twiggy!
@@adamriley3030 yeah I feel you. It makes way more sense to believe the universe has its period and decided to explode into what it is today, rather than believe we're here for a reason. Having no purpose makes a lot of sense to me. Idiot.
PlayStation 2 was the best console for it's time. I have nostalgia for the N64 and the SNES, but the PS2 was a game changer. It played DvDs, had an internet connection, played PS1 games, and had great specs. The leap from the N64 to the PS2 was so massive, that I have to give it to the PS2.
I hear you, and I raise you the Dreamcast. That console could have done much more. So many great games on it, but it didn't get the 3rd party support from devs to put out enough games to survive. PS2 is the winner by sheer volume of games. So many games during its life, we got lots of greats.
@@rrael The Dreamcast was Sega looking way, WAY into the future. It had quite a few things that no other consoles of the era had... but that was almost to it's detriment, where developers were left wondering how to use those things to their full potential. So it didn't get as fair of a chance as it really should have.
South Park has poked fun at every major religion, and this was like their little jab at atheism. I like that literally no one is safe from their satire. Nor should anyone or anything be exempt. Trey has said in an interview they're not religious or atheist, that it's "complicated".
Pretty much. In the end Atheism is also based on faith since you literally can't prove something that doesn't abide by our metaphysical rules exits or doesn't. The only real answer is to realize anybody that preaches religion or atheism is trying to get something from someone and you should just not care and die so you don't have to listen to those people anymore.
Matt Stone in 2011 “We’re essentially atheists. I mean, I am; Trey I don't want to speak for. But coming from that point of view, we’re atheists who don’t hate religion, who are kind of fascinated by it and kind of admire it. [We thought] 'What would that look like? What would an atheist love letter to religion look like?' ” -Stone to New York magazine, on the musical "The Book of Mormon" (March 11, 2011)
@@RmnGnzlz Nope you have that exactly backwards. Theism is a faith. Atheism is a lack of belief in that faith. You say god I say prove it. It's not a claim that gods do not exist. It's a default position before you present your evidence for your god. The burden of proof is on you. You are conflating atheism with gnosticism.
@@BenJover Believing that God doesn't exist when it can not be proven means you have faith that the current science is right. You can't be sure, you believe without certainty, aka you have faith.
So when the Wii came out, Toys R Us was still a thing and my aunt camped out for my mom and other aunts to buy all of us a Wii when it came out. She told me the lines were crazy. I miss those days of standing in line and making random friends for just one night and never seeing them again 🤣🤣
I stood in line for kingdom heart 3 all day. I got there around 2 afternoon under the impression I would be the first one there, hell no more like the 50th so I got in line and brought coffee, snacks, and a pee bottle.
Macy's is still a thing? Huh. Weird. The last time I saw that store in business was at least 20 years ago. Somewhere around when the mall closest to me started dying out. And I've never noticed a location at either of the the next two closest malls to me. Never exactly spent much time in the store to begin with though. Passed through a few times just using it as an entrance to the mall if that was the side where we happened to find parking.
Fun fact: Richard Dawkins is also the one who coined the term 'Meme', although the original intent behind the word was a little different than how it's commonly used today.
actually it isn't different from how it's used, in his book the selfish gene he points out how viral ideas can be memes, and that within culture they can even change meaning and still be relevant. and that's basically what modern memes and meme-culture are.
it's totally different from how it is currently used. The original idea of a meme was that cultural ideas, norms, values etc can be transmitted generation to generation the same way that genes are, and evolve in similar ways, too, mutating each time it is passed from person to person, with more resilient traits, the aspects of the idea that make it more appealing or more resistant to refutation or dismissal, like dominant genes, slowly becoming more prevalent across a population. This is how, for example, any major religion that has been around long enough has developed multiple defense mechanisms to deflect any criticisms or doubts... ideas like... "my religion makes no sense because God works in mysterious ways"... or .. "doubt is a sin, faith is a virtue, if I ask for evidence to support my claims I'm not being a good Christian." .... or... "God in these stories sure does sounds like an evil SOB, but, let's trust that his ways are higher tha ours and that he has a plan" ... or.. "apostasy, blasphemy, and heresy are punishable by death." etc. and it works the same for other ideas like the idea that monogamy and marriage is somehow normal or desirable. This was a brilliant idea. I had the same idea myself, independently, many years later, and am still mad at Dawkins for coming up with it and coining a term to describe it 3 years before I was even born. It's so hard to be original... On the other hand what do people today think a meme is? If you asked the average person they would tell you that a meme is a still image taken from a TV show or movie that someone has put funny words on and posted on Facebook... not really the same thing.... even if there are superficial similarities in how they are transmitted and changed a little bit person to person (sometimes). Still... a shameful and tragic bastrardization of a remarkably elegant and important concept.
@@nooneofconsequence1251 Indeed, Islam (just to use one example) is a meme. That doesn't mean that it's a cute cultural reference to use on the internet.
Mr./Mrs. Garrison is great character because not suppose to really represent any group. Just a really terrible selfish person that will constantly switch beliefs and ideas as long as its suits him best and take it to the extreme. As pointed out at end this pretty much what Matt and Trey are making fun of. People that think if world had no religion or was only 1 religion would still probably find a way to have conflict with each other even if its something dumb. Fairly odd parents had similar episode about this concept and was pretty good. The MC wishes everyone was grey blob that looked exactly same so his neighbors wouldn't bully him anymore for his bad teeth. But of course they are still bullies and claim be more grey and blob like than anyone else.
The demand for Wii greatly exceeded availability for months. They sold completely out early on the first day. For months after that when a store got a shipment it was gone within hours. It typically took months to get a Wii if you weren't in line on the first day, unless you bought one from a place like eBay for several times the retail price. I wasn't willing to camp out overnight at a store to get one, but managed to get one the first day anyway. I got up about a couple hours before the stores opened and drove around to the various stores just to see how big the lines were. Best Buy, Target, GameStop, Walmart, all the places I'd read about the expected long lines. Then I wondered if Kmart also had them--no one ever mentioned Kmart in their articles about getting a Wii. I'm on the west side of the US, and called up a Kmart on the east side of the US where the Kmarts were already opened and asked them about Wii. They said they had had a few but they were sold out. So now I knew that Kmart was a Wii retailer, and drove to my local Kmart. There were two people in line. So I joined the line. A few others joined after me. About 15 minutes before the store opened someone came out to tell us they only had two. But one of the people ahead of me said they were just there with their friend and were not going to buy one themselves, which meant that I would get the last one. The guy behind me in line looked like he was getting ready to try to rush in ahead of me when the doors opened, but the Kmart employee told us she had already noted our positions in line and that the Wiis were going to the person ahead of me and myself. Everyone else went home and I got my day one Wii.
I remember one video on UA-cam that showcased just how long the lines were to just play on the Wii vs PlayStation console (can't remember which number. NOT the first one though). It looked like it was in a convention going on, but after looking at the line for the Wii goes over to the PlayStation line. Very short in comparison to Wii lol. My younger brother got a Wii at some point from our mom, but I know for a fact my mom wasn't about to stand in line for hours on end to get one. She loves us and all, but not that damn much 😆!
Oh, fun fact #2: Pacing in front of the store actually could make the Wii come _slower_ on account of quantum mechanics. It's the same with watching a clock for the minute change or watching a pot for water to boil; The watching _actually slows_ things down.
The PS2 IS the best console of all time. The library is the largest of any of its contemporaries, with some of the best exclusives and time exclusives. The hardware was inexpensive but powerful and hit both its stride and peak before the other 3rd gen consoles. The controller design is basically still used today almost unchanged. Its market share was unreal in scope. I'm a Nintendo guy, and though I'd put the SNES in a kinda close second, I don't think there's any real competition for first place.
Thank you so much for watching this one!!! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your traumatized expression seeing Mrs. Garrison and Richard Dawkins 😂 it reminds me of when I watched this the day it came out! Also, SNES all the way!
To answer your question, Best Console Ever Created: From a Nostalgia perspective it would have to be the NES. That console was the first i owned as a kid and i still collect for it today. However, if i look at it from an objective perspective, I would have to argue that the playstation 1 is probably the greatest console of all time. That console was revolutionary with its jump to 3D and the quality of games released on it.
Hey Dash, have you watched The Black Friday Bunduru Trilogy yet? TONS and tons of Japanese references, mostly around the Japanese slang of 'Princess'. The trilogy starts in Season 17 on episode 7. It was a hilarious homage to Game of Thrones and would make a fantastic edition to your video list.
@@dash.reacts The show didn't touch on much of what was actually going on in the show as much as its central themes: betrayal in a garden, a powerful princess, random male nudity... You could do a quick skim of a non-spoiler video Game of Thrones' first three seasons video and you should know more than enough for the episodes. I didn't watch Game of Thrones until after I saw that trilogy.
I recommend the episode The Succubus. Season Three, Episode 3. A really fun episode with Chef. Also for me, I'll never forget all the times I had with my Nintendo 64.
I remember when this aired. I was sitting there in awe of how perfectly they captured that there will always be war because religion is just an excuse. I was thinking, “This is one of the smartest shows in television history.” Then like two seconds later… random sea otter army. I sat there kind of blinking and said, “I was wrong…. This is THE smartest show in television history.” I’m atheist myself and it wasn’t a fun journey getting there. But I hate saying I’m atheist because others are so damn smug and cruel about it. This is one of my favorite episodes.
@@corruptangel6793 That’s a really hard question to answer, because it’s not something I decided. To me, there isn’t a “why.” I can summarize how I came to these conclusions, if you like. I was raised going to church with my mom. My dad never attended, but he knew a lot of stories about Jesus and he often told them to me. I believed entirely as a kid. It was comforting. My little brother used to talk to Jesus on his toy phone and tell him about his day. We have a video of my brother at about three talking into the toy phone and saying, “But how are YOU, Jesus?” It’s adorable. Then we got a new pastor who was more fire and brimstone than our sweet natured old pastor. The new pastor’s wife taught my Sunday school class. She told us about a play she went to see where a young family died and were waiting to see who got into heaven. She told us how nice these people looked, man and wife and little baby. Then an angel came and took the baby from their arms and pointed for the man and wife to go to Hell. She described how bitterly the mother screamed because she would spend eternity without her baby. I was like 8 or 9. She told us that we had to pray every night because we never knew if we would die in our sleep. And if we woke up in the night, we had to pray again before we went back to sleep. Because if we died unclean, we’d go to Hell. She said, “Imagine going to sleep in your nice warm bed and waking up in Hell.” This pretty much traumatized me and I slept clutching my Bible. Mom was a little slow to realize how crazy our teachings had become, but when I was ten she asked if we still wanted to go to church. We said no. Mom and Dad talked to us very casually about how the lady shouldn’t have said those things and worked subtly to help us get over it. But part of me never really did. So that was the end of me going to church, but I still believed in Heaven and Hell and that God was out there. I was just trying to reconcile which version of teachings I agreed with. I learned about the Council of Nicea and how men picked which gospels to use. So for a long time I kind of had my own version of religion, accepting that any organized religion was corrupted by human agenda and interference. I went to a small high school that was VERY Christian. One day, a new kid arrived and I learned the word “atheist” when he proudly announced he was one. He and the rest of the class got in an argument about the Big Bang in science class. One of the girls pulled a Bible FROM HER PURSE and waved it at him. The argument continued into the next class and I finally spoke up. I said, “Couldn’t it be that you’re both right and God made the Big Bang happen?” Neither side agreed to this, but my history teacher told me after class that he liked my argument. When I was in my twenties, a lot of things happened. I met a cute boy who was “spiritual, but not religious,” I read more, I watched Religilous, I discovered George Carlin, and the biggest influence was that my dad let slip that he didn’t believe in an afterlife. I was gutted. I had never really considered that there was no afterlife. It was so ingrained that even when I questioned everything else, that never occurred to me. Took me a long time to really ask myself what I really thought about it. Then I watched a show about memory. There were all these disorders people had that caused their brain to malfunction and cause memory issues. I recall one man who couldn’t recognize faces. For whatever reason, that pushed me over the edge of my questioning. What we call a soul is really just wiring in our brains storing the memories of our lives. If the brain can lose that while we are alive, why would it continue after death? I was also very frustrated with how religion was used in politics. I had a lot of gay friends and I got so sick of the Leviticus quote. I started reading the Bible so I could debate with these people and when I saw the other sins listed on the SAME PAGE as “thou shalt not lie with mankind,” one, I was pretty much done. Went through my hating religious people phase, but over time I met some truly good people whose faith enhances their lives and I got over my anger. Then I got really into history and learned how the different religions developed and why. It started to make sense to me that people living short, scary lives needed an afterlife to look forward to and that conmen jumped on that to create social doctrines to control people. Then if something bad happened, those conmen could say, “Well, that group upset God and He is punishing all of us. That’s why the bad thing happened. I didn’t lie; it’s the fault of Them.” There were lots of other little moments and influences, but this is pretty long! I went from finding comfort in faith, to fearing it, to questioning, to observing, to concluding. Organized religions are lies. There is no evidence of an afterlife; in fact there is evidence against it. Is there a bigger being that we would call a god? Maybe, but He doesn’t care if little Billy passes his spelling test and He definitely isn’t casting him into pits of fire for not praying before bed. I think it might turn out we are like cells and what we consider the vast unexplored universe is part of a being that isn’t even aware of us. But I don’t necessarily BELIEVE that. It’s just on my list of possibilities. But I would never try to take someone’s faith from them or argue to change their minds (unless they are using religious doctrine as a weapon; then all bets are off). My dad doesn’t believe in an afterlife, but my mom does. I think it’s a frail belief, so I don’t press her. But she’s the last living person of her family (both parents gone and four siblings). If it helps her function to think she will see them again, it’s none of my business. Her little sister died while on the phone with her and I know it hurts her that their last conversation was cut short so brutally. If that sadness is quelled by thinking they can pick up where they left off in Heaven, I think that’s a good thing. As I said way back at the start, there isn’t a “why” that can be easily given. I can just take you through the steps I went through.
@83gemm that's actually somewhat similar to my situation. I didn't go to overly religious schools or anything like that, mostly the crazy religious people. What tore a hole in my faith and began my line of questioning was my dad. In my case, my dad was the pastor, and he was an abusive asshole who brought me to the very edge of suicide and patricide. If it wasn't for my dog, then I most likely wouldn't be here right now. Though I'm sure a religious person would say God sent the dog. Regardless, yeah, he didn't shine a very nice light on the religion. It drove me away, and that's when I began to look at things more cynically and critically. Initially, and to a certain extent, even now, I use that logic to try and defend Christianity. So much so that my mom (who is still religious to this day and went through her own major journey) suggested I become a Christian scientist, lol For example, your comment about the big bang. I had a similar idea since it's literally just "let there be light" and is otherwise impossible the way scientists believe it happened. I still try to believe in the soul and desperately cling to various other things to give existance meaning. So, I still dip my toes in religion, but I also find infinitely more comfort in the idea that nothing comes after death rather than the idea that I'd be spending an eternity in one hell or another for happening to choose the wrong religion. All that said, I asked because, well, I've come to the understanding that athiesm isn't a thing. There is only religion and nihilism. That's something these two episodes of South Park actually highlighted with the people in the future. All their athiesm did was turn science into their new God. When I saw your comment and how you had gone through a journey to come to your conclusion, and you don't like associating with many other athiests, I want to see if you could challenging my understanding of athiesm. So ultimately, now that I have some idea of your story and how you came to your conclusions that God(s) aren't real, I gotta ask: What DO you believe in?
@@corruptangel6793 I believe we all get one life and we should strike a balance of enjoying ourselves while being kind to other living things. We are lucky the dice rolled in our favor to even be born in the first place. I believe that being dead will be like the time before I was born. I believe there is a lot about the universe we haven’t discovered yet and as those discoveries are made, I’m in a position to adapt my understanding of life, the universe, and everything (Douglas Adams nod there) without needing it to match up with a document written by other humans. I believe in tipping waitstaff, putting one’s grocery cart back, and not littering. And most importantly, I believe that pizza is the greatest invention of mankind. 😉
@@corruptangel6793 On a serious note, I want to say how sorry I am that your dad put you through all that. Have you gotten therapy? It might benefit you. By the way, if you come to find in your own journey that religion IS for you, I think that’s great as long as it’s real faith that fits you. Good luck.
Another one of my favorite episodes. Another case of poor Butters... You gotta love that Cartman gets screwed over by his own impatience.😂 You would never see me desperate enough to get in line days for the day one release of new technological devices . I'll wait for it to drop prices. Tough call on the greatest video game system as I've had several over the last couple decades and each was just as great.
Classic consoles and their games will forever be classics but I don't think we will ever have anything quite like the xbox 360/ps3 again. Those years of playing those games were magical. I will never forget them.
Playstation 1 was my breakthrough love. My Dad bought one and I was hooked. We previously had Intelevision, Commodore 64, NES, Genesis... Ps1, n64, and GameCube ❤️
PS2, because the library was not only amazing for its time but almost its entire library still holds up to this very day. N64 is a close second though.
Thanks for sharing this. I think a lot of people will vote for the PS2 and I can easily understand why. It was a console that did so many things right.
Ps2 was an entire childhood, i remember they day i got it😊😊 i got juiced 2, vice city, cod 3, mortal kombat and gow 1 😂😂😂 still remember waking up early on Saturday and jamming the whole day(cause I didn't have a memory card)😅😅 i once almost finished avatar book 3 in one day without it till electricity decided to go off😂😂😂 literally gave up that day
@@dash.reacts Well, objectively speaking the PS2 is still the best selling console of all time with over 150 million sold. By comparison the PS4 is second with 117 million.
Richard Dawkins created the concept of the “meme”; it’s defined as an idea that replicates like a virus. I don’t agree with most of his thinking, but the dude did create the word “Meme”.
Hey Dash another great reaction. The greatest video game console to me is the NES, it started my Dragon Quest love. I have a question for you, I believe you've said you live in Japan. Is there really a Dragon Quest Holiday?
Japan has lots of holidays that slip right by me. I haven’t heard of a Dragon Quest holiday, it’d be pretty awesome if they did. I’ll have to look into that
PLEASE react to the Black Friday trilogy. Season 17, episodes 7, 8 and 9. These are very Japanese heavy shows about the boys trying to get new game consoles using the black Friday sales, with Randy getting a job as a mall security officer in order to also be first in line for the sales. Really looking forward to you telling us what the Japanese in the shows are really saying.
The flying spaghetti monster bit fricken killed me because I read that stuff when I was younger due to reading a novel I really shouldn't have been reading at that age. I'll never forget that whole Church of the Paratheoanametamystichood of Eris Esoteric, flying spaghetti monster, the pastafarians and all that other stuff. When I was younger, reading that stuff was like a weird trip.
I am a Playstation man myself. 55 years old and still playing. I have been playing video games for many years and remember starting out on the Atari 2600. I traded my pet dinosaur for it. LOL
The "greatest" console is probably the newer VR stuff coming out. It doesn't sell the most, but it is by far the biggest leap in gaming tech that we have had since the switch from 8-bit to 3-d.
It's gotta be the NES for me. I remember the first Christmas it came out the whole family playing duck hunt and laughing. Memories then came the divorce and the fighting ect
I still remember when i saw this episode at the first time... at the moment of the evolution explanation finish i have found myself in the floor dead by laugh
I appreciate that this episode doesn’t choose a side. Trey and Matt simply think that both evolution and christianity are weird theories of why and how we’re here. Im a Christian and even I can admit my religion doesn’t make much sense, but it makes me happy
The greatest console ever created... Hmm. The most fun I've ever had on games in general, outside of growing up on an NES, would have to be the Gamecube. There weren't many games on it, but it had Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 and Smash Bros. Melee and F-Zero GX. The Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring are pretty much the only games today that really drive that same level of serotonin for me, as was during the Gamecube years.
Best console = SNES. It was the pinnacle of the pixel art era. The games have aged like fine wine even up to this day. The SNES entries of many series really came into their own on SNES, like Zelda. It's what the NES games would have been without the NES limitations.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Dash, I don't think I have ever seen you that shocked at a scene before. I don't think you'll be able to look at Mr/Ms (depending on series) Garrison in the same way again. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
The greatest video game console was the PS2, it was such a dominant system with so many exclusives that if you were into gaming in the 2000s, you had to have owned one. Not to mention that it doubles as a cheap DVD player and can play PS1 games. And the amount of quality titles, many of them exclusives, was mind numbing ! - Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 - Devil May Cry 1 and 3 - God of War 1 and 2 - Ratchet and Clank 1-3 - Sly 1-3 - Final Fantasy X and XII - Shadow of the Colossus - GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas - Resident Evil 4 - Metal Gear Solid 3 - Silent Hill 2 and 3 - Dragon Quest 8 - Tekken 5 - Persona 3 and 4 - Gran Turismo 4 - Bully - Yakuza 1 and 2 - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 - Burnout 3 - Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time - Twisted Metal Black - Rogue Galaxy - .hack trilogy and .hack//GU - Rayman 2 - Need for Speed Underground 2 - Ace Combat 4 and 0 And TONS of niche titles.
I never buy new technology as soon as it comes out. Especially consoles. One reason being, most launch titles aren't the greatest, wait some time after when the price is reduced and the game options are more. Another reason is there may be bugs with it that would be fixed at a later time via updates available.
I think Super Nintendo was the best console of all time. Between Final Fantasy 4 and 6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Secret of Mana, Pilotwings, SimCity, Zelda Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid, Actraiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Mega Man X, Mario RPG Legend of the seven stars..... I could go on and on. Such an amazing system.
...Super Mario World and Kart, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Star Fox, Super Punch Out, Super Tennis, F-Zero, Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Super Bomberman, NHL '94, International Superstar Soccer, Mortal Kombat 2...
Original xbox, it used PC infrastructure and made consoles computers not just players. It was also able to be fully unlocked and could do anything on it. For its time as a game system it was the best, everything on it just hit 5 stars.
I remember being a kid and waiting for certain games to come out felt like forever. First one that comes to mind was Kingdom Hearts 2. I kept playing the first one in anticipation, looking on the internet for new info, and one time made a dumb PowerPoint with random images that were out at the time.
I don’t think anyone can blame you for anticipating KH2 as a kid. Kingdom Hearts was a special game that did so many things right. Especially with those first two games.
@@dash.reacts oh hell yeah! I still play all the games and try to follow the convoluted story but none of the other games gave me the same feeling of joy as when I first played kh2 🤑
N64 is my favorite! Snes and gameboy and advance were great, but ps2 for the time, the DVD player, and it was great! But Xbox and GameCube were amazing too!!!
I got a Wii on Launch Day, dude at our local Walmart camped out in line for 2 full days to be first in line, I decided around 5 AM to drive an hour south to the nearest Best Buy, got there like 2 hours before they opened the doors and got one and so did the next like 4 or 5 people behind me in line. Still to this day I laugh at the dude that camped out for 2 full days.
i still play my wii almost daily. Modded with "homebrew" software, its a beast of an emulation machine capable of emulating any console from the earliest atari and odyssey up to the wii era of consoles. theres still a community dedicated to modding the wii. i play randomizers of my favorite older games
The GREATEST console of all time was the Nintendo NES. It opened up the floodgates of gaming for years to come, and is still a beloved classic still used in many households, including mine to this day.
Nintendo 64 for me. There was so many great games for it when it came out. Mario 64, goldeneye, Star wars(can’t remember what it was called) but they had so many great titles.
PS2 is my personal favorite because it’s what I had as a child and played with my brother for hundreds of hours the only reason my parents got us it was because it was cheaper than a normal DVD player and could do more they were against gaming but I think overall it’s gotta be the first Xbox for being the first console with online multiplayer and the early halo games were some of the best
SNES was the best console of all time. It was a period in gaming history where very few bad games were actually made. Seemingly everything became an instant classic.
Probably the biggest game changerw were the PS2 and the Gameboy. PS2 for increased graphics, cd/dvd drive, internet connection, backwards compatability. Beat out the OG Xbox Gameboy was possibly the greatest drop for gaming though imo, it offered mobile gameplay, pretty good battery life for that time, link cables, great graphics for what it was, and was a huge success between older and youger people. Since they had a huge share of the market at the time with the Nintendo systems prior
I've noticed that there seems to be huge swaths of this show like legit 3 or 4 seasons that seemingly no one reacted to along with certain shows like the mick that doesn't have a single reaction are certain episodes of this show and others just completely off limits to reacting channels or do people just hate the episodes of South park I love as well as the mick lol
When Miss Garrison and Dawkins were in bed the music and dialogue was a reference to Battlestar Galactica. The relationship between Gaius Baltar and Caprica 6.
South park is low key the most relatable show ever I legit remember that feeling of horror every time we camped out to get a wii just to be a handful of people down the line to many also the amount of teachers I had that got so mad they looked physically ill anytime anything that discredited Christianity wasn't even funny

I remember that before the Wii came out, one gaming website had a poll asking "How badly do you want the Wii?", and the options were:
-Bad
-Really bad
-Worse than Cartman
"I shall smash your skull, like a clam on my tummy!" that gets me everytime lmfao
The part where Cartman is travelling through time, with the music and everything, is a homage to the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century show from the 80's. I loved that show when I was a kid!
So many people miss that. It brings me back.
One of my favorite shows as a kid. I loved it when South Park did it in this episode. It actually started in 79, so a little more of a 70’s show than 80’s.
I saw this South Park episode when I was a little kid and didn't know what Buck Rogers was until I was much older. I did go back and watch the first season of Buck, it was a pretty good show.
@@darrylcarden1851 First season was 79 so most of it was in the 80's, but I get your meaning. The esthetics is certainly very 70's... Twiggy twiggy twiggy twiggy!
@@alscott18 Yeah it is an awesome show.
I love how Mr Garrison explains the theory of evolution to the class 😂
sadly, this is pretty close to what the majority of Evolution deniers believe the Theory actually is.
@@nooneofconsequence1251 evolution make more sense then any religion

@@adamriley3030 yeah I feel you. It makes way more sense to believe the universe has its period and decided to explode into what it is today, rather than believe we're here for a reason. Having no purpose makes a lot of sense to me. Idiot.
PlayStation 2 was the best console for it's time. I have nostalgia for the N64 and the SNES, but the PS2 was a game changer. It played DvDs, had an internet connection, played PS1 games, and had great specs. The leap from the N64 to the PS2 was so massive, that I have to give it to the PS2.
I hear you, and I raise you the Dreamcast. That console could have done much more. So many great games on it, but it didn't get the 3rd party support from devs to put out enough games to survive. PS2 is the winner by sheer volume of games. So many games during its life, we got lots of greats.
@@rrael Loved the Dreamcast! Thanks for your share!
Clearly PC is best , you can play any console game on it 😜
@@rrael The Dreamcast was Sega looking way, WAY into the future. It had quite a few things that no other consoles of the era had... but that was almost to it's detriment, where developers were left wondering how to use those things to their full potential. So it didn't get as fair of a chance as it really should have.

South Park has poked fun at every major religion, and this was like their little jab at atheism. I like that literally no one is safe from their satire. Nor should anyone or anything be exempt. Trey has said in an interview they're not religious or atheist, that it's "complicated".
Pretty much. In the end Atheism is also based on faith since you literally can't prove something that doesn't abide by our metaphysical rules exits or doesn't. The only real answer is to realize anybody that preaches religion or atheism is trying to get something from someone and you should just not care and die so you don't have to listen to those people anymore.
Matt Stone in 2011
“We’re essentially atheists. I mean, I am; Trey I don't want to speak for. But coming from that point of view, we’re atheists who don’t hate religion, who are kind of fascinated by it and kind of admire it. [We thought] 'What would that look like? What would an atheist love letter to religion look like?' ”
-Stone to New York magazine, on the musical "The Book of Mormon" (March 11, 2011)
So they are neither believers in god or gods or non believers at the same time… not sure how that makes sense at all
@@RmnGnzlz Nope you have that exactly backwards. Theism is a faith. Atheism is a lack of belief in that faith. You say god I say prove it. It's not a claim that gods do not exist. It's a default position before you present your evidence for your god. The burden of proof is on you. You are conflating atheism with gnosticism.
@@BenJover Believing that God doesn't exist when it can not be proven means you have faith that the current science is right. You can't be sure, you believe without certainty, aka you have faith.
So when the Wii came out, Toys R Us was still a thing and my aunt camped out for my mom and other aunts to buy all of us a Wii when it came out. She told me the lines were crazy. I miss those days of standing in line and making random friends for just one night and never seeing them again 🤣🤣
The last time I stood in line was for gta v and that was at 4pm. Not even midnight. Life was just better back then
I stood in line for kingdom heart 3 all day. I got there around 2 afternoon under the impression I would be the first one there, hell no more like the 50th so I got in line and brought coffee, snacks, and a pee bottle.
I believe Toys R Us is still a thing, it's just now under the banner of Macy's
Macy's is still a thing? Huh. Weird. The last time I saw that store in business was at least 20 years ago. Somewhere around when the mall closest to me started dying out. And I've never noticed a location at either of the the next two closest malls to me.
Never exactly spent much time in the store to begin with though. Passed through a few times just using it as an entrance to the mall if that was the side where we happened to find parking.
I miss Toys R Us
“Traumatized” imagine watching this when you’re 10 years old 😂
I love how Garrison is an atheist yet both Jesus and Satan are recurring characters haha
Yes and God is a funny little troll monster and heaven is only for Mormons. It is a cartoon after all.

Fun fact: Richard Dawkins is also the one who coined the term 'Meme', although the original intent behind the word was a little different than how it's commonly used today.
No way! That’s pretty cool 😎
actually it isn't different from how it's used, in his book the selfish gene he points out how viral ideas can be memes, and that within culture they can even change meaning and still be relevant. and that's basically what modern memes and meme-culture are.
it's totally different from how it is currently used.
The original idea of a meme was that cultural ideas, norms, values etc can be transmitted generation to generation the same way that genes are, and evolve in similar ways, too, mutating each time it is passed from person to person, with more resilient traits, the aspects of the idea that make it more appealing or more resistant to refutation or dismissal, like dominant genes, slowly becoming more prevalent across a population.
This is how, for example, any major religion that has been around long enough has developed multiple defense mechanisms to deflect any criticisms or doubts... ideas like... "my religion makes no sense because God works in mysterious ways"... or .. "doubt is a sin, faith is a virtue, if I ask for evidence to support my claims I'm not being a good Christian." .... or... "God in these stories sure does sounds like an evil SOB, but, let's trust that his ways are higher tha ours and that he has a plan" ... or.. "apostasy, blasphemy, and heresy are punishable by death." etc. and it works the same for other ideas like the idea that monogamy and marriage is somehow normal or desirable.
This was a brilliant idea. I had the same idea myself, independently, many years later, and am still mad at Dawkins for coming up with it and coining a term to describe it 3 years before I was even born. It's so hard to be original...
On the other hand what do people today think a meme is? If you asked the average person they would tell you that a meme is a still image taken from a TV show or movie that someone has put funny words on and posted on Facebook... not really the same thing.... even if there are superficial similarities in how they are transmitted and changed a little bit person to person (sometimes). Still... a shameful and tragic bastrardization of a remarkably elegant and important concept.
It’s from his book “The Selfish Gene.”
@@nooneofconsequence1251 Indeed, Islam (just to use one example) is a meme. That doesn't mean that it's a cute cultural reference to use on the internet.
Mr./Mrs. Garrison is great character because not suppose to really represent any group. Just a really terrible selfish person that will constantly switch beliefs and ideas as long as its suits him best and take it to the extreme. As pointed out at end this pretty much what Matt and Trey are making fun of. People that think if world had no religion or was only 1 religion would still probably find a way to have conflict with each other even if its something dumb.
Fairly odd parents had similar episode about this concept and was pretty good. The MC wishes everyone was grey blob that looked exactly same so his neighbors wouldn't bully him anymore for his bad teeth. But of course they are still bullies and claim be more grey and blob like than anyone else.

Thank you so much, Jb!!!
The demand for Wii greatly exceeded availability for months. They sold completely out early on the first day. For months after that when a store got a shipment it was gone within hours. It typically took months to get a Wii if you weren't in line on the first day, unless you bought one from a place like eBay for several times the retail price.
I wasn't willing to camp out overnight at a store to get one, but managed to get one the first day anyway. I got up about a couple hours before the stores opened and drove around to the various stores just to see how big the lines were. Best Buy, Target, GameStop, Walmart, all the places I'd read about the expected long lines. Then I wondered if Kmart also had them--no one ever mentioned Kmart in their articles about getting a Wii.
I'm on the west side of the US, and called up a Kmart on the east side of the US where the Kmarts were already opened and asked them about Wii. They said they had had a few but they were sold out. So now I knew that Kmart was a Wii retailer, and drove to my local Kmart. There were two people in line. So I joined the line. A few others joined after me. About 15 minutes before the store opened someone came out to tell us they only had two. But one of the people ahead of me said they were just there with their friend and were not going to buy one themselves, which meant that I would get the last one.
The guy behind me in line looked like he was getting ready to try to rush in ahead of me when the doors opened, but the Kmart employee told us she had already noted our positions in line and that the Wiis were going to the person ahead of me and myself. Everyone else went home and I got my day one Wii.
I remember one video on UA-cam that showcased just how long the lines were to just play on the Wii vs PlayStation console (can't remember which number. NOT the first one though). It looked like it was in a convention going on, but after looking at the line for the Wii goes over to the PlayStation line. Very short in comparison to Wii lol.
My younger brother got a Wii at some point from our mom, but I know for a fact my mom wasn't about to stand in line for hours on end to get one. She loves us and all, but not that damn much 😆!
8:30 that's the opening of Buck Rogers in the 25th century, a TV series from 1979.
Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏
One of my favourite sci-fi shows, and with one of the best looking women in sci-fi Erin Grey, good memories
Dawkins motor boating Garrison was hilarious 😂
"Give this monkey what she wants"
Richard Dawkin's biggest gripe about this episode was the awful British accent they gave him.
Oh, fun fact #2: Pacing in front of the store actually could make the Wii come _slower_ on account of quantum mechanics. It's the same with watching a clock for the minute change or watching a pot for water to boil; The watching _actually slows_ things down.
Nintendo Switch
-Literally saved Nintendo as a console maker.
-Revolutionary device.
-The second best selling console of alltime.
The PS2 IS the best console of all time. The library is the largest of any of its contemporaries, with some of the best exclusives and time exclusives. The hardware was inexpensive but powerful and hit both its stride and peak before the other 3rd gen consoles. The controller design is basically still used today almost unchanged. Its market share was unreal in scope. I'm a Nintendo guy, and though I'd put the SNES in a kinda close second, I don't think there's any real competition for first place.
Thank you so much for watching this one!!! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your traumatized expression seeing Mrs. Garrison and Richard Dawkins 😂 it reminds me of when I watched this the day it came out!
Also, SNES all the way!
To answer your question, Best Console Ever Created: From a Nostalgia perspective it would have to be the NES. That console was the first i owned as a kid and i still collect for it today. However, if i look at it from an objective perspective, I would have to argue that the playstation 1 is probably the greatest console of all time. That console was revolutionary with its jump to 3D and the quality of games released on it.
The layers of prescient parody of Richard Dawkins falling in love with Ms. Garrison is crazy
Hey Dash, have you watched The Black Friday Bunduru Trilogy yet? TONS and tons of Japanese references, mostly around the Japanese slang of 'Princess'. The trilogy starts in Season 17 on episode 7. It was a hilarious homage to Game of Thrones and would make a fantastic edition to your video list.
Oooh! I haven’t seen that one yet! Sounds like fun! My only worry is I won’t be able to do it justice because I’ve never seen Game If Thrones 🫣
@@dash.reacts The show didn't touch on much of what was actually going on in the show as much as its central themes: betrayal in a garden, a powerful princess, random male nudity... You could do a quick skim of a non-spoiler video Game of Thrones' first three seasons video and you should know more than enough for the episodes. I didn't watch Game of Thrones until after I saw that trilogy.
I recommend the episode The Succubus. Season Three, Episode 3. A really fun episode with Chef. Also for me, I'll never forget all the times I had with my Nintendo 64.
I remember when this aired. I was sitting there in awe of how perfectly they captured that there will always be war because religion is just an excuse. I was thinking, “This is one of the smartest shows in television history.”
Then like two seconds later… random sea otter army.
I sat there kind of blinking and said, “I was wrong…. This is THE smartest show in television history.”
I’m atheist myself and it wasn’t a fun journey getting there. But I hate saying I’m atheist because others are so damn smug and cruel about it. This is one of my favorite episodes.
Why are you athiest? Not very religious myself, so I'm curious what made you give up on conventional gods.
@@corruptangel6793 That’s a really hard question to answer, because it’s not something I decided. To me, there isn’t a “why.” I can summarize how I came to these conclusions, if you like.
I was raised going to church with my mom. My dad never attended, but he knew a lot of stories about Jesus and he often told them to me.
I believed entirely as a kid. It was comforting. My little brother used to talk to Jesus on his toy phone and tell him about his day. We have a video of my brother at about three talking into the toy phone and saying, “But how are YOU, Jesus?” It’s adorable.
Then we got a new pastor who was more fire and brimstone than our sweet natured old pastor. The new pastor’s wife taught my Sunday school class. She told us about a play she went to see where a young family died and were waiting to see who got into heaven. She told us how nice these people looked, man and wife and little baby. Then an angel came and took the baby from their arms and pointed for the man and wife to go to Hell. She described how bitterly the mother screamed because she would spend eternity without her baby. I was like 8 or 9. She told us that we had to pray every night because we never knew if we would die in our sleep. And if we woke up in the night, we had to pray again before we went back to sleep. Because if we died unclean, we’d go to Hell. She said, “Imagine going to sleep in your nice warm bed and waking up in Hell.” This pretty much traumatized me and I slept clutching my Bible.
Mom was a little slow to realize how crazy our teachings had become, but when I was ten she asked if we still wanted to go to church. We said no. Mom and Dad talked to us very casually about how the lady shouldn’t have said those things and worked subtly to help us get over it. But part of me never really did.
So that was the end of me going to church, but I still believed in Heaven and Hell and that God was out there. I was just trying to reconcile which version of teachings I agreed with. I learned about the Council of Nicea and how men picked which gospels to use. So for a long time I kind of had my own version of religion, accepting that any organized religion was corrupted by human agenda and interference.
I went to a small high school that was VERY Christian. One day, a new kid arrived and I learned the word “atheist” when he proudly announced he was one. He and the rest of the class got in an argument about the Big Bang in science class. One of the girls pulled a Bible FROM HER PURSE and waved it at him.
The argument continued into the next class and I finally spoke up. I said, “Couldn’t it be that you’re both right and God made the Big Bang happen?”
Neither side agreed to this, but my history teacher told me after class that he liked my argument.
When I was in my twenties, a lot of things happened. I met a cute boy who was “spiritual, but not religious,” I read more, I watched Religilous, I discovered George Carlin, and the biggest influence was that my dad let slip that he didn’t believe in an afterlife.
I was gutted. I had never really considered that there was no afterlife. It was so ingrained that even when I questioned everything else, that never occurred to me. Took me a long time to really ask myself what I really thought about it. Then I watched a show about memory. There were all these disorders people had that caused their brain to malfunction and cause memory issues. I recall one man who couldn’t recognize faces. For whatever reason, that pushed me over the edge of my questioning. What we call a soul is really just wiring in our brains storing the memories of our lives. If the brain can lose that while we are alive, why would it continue after death?
I was also very frustrated with how religion was used in politics. I had a lot of gay friends and I got so sick of the Leviticus quote. I started reading the Bible so I could debate with these people and when I saw the other sins listed on the SAME PAGE as “thou shalt not lie with mankind,” one, I was pretty much done. Went through my hating religious people phase, but over time I met some truly good people whose faith enhances their lives and I got over my anger.
Then I got really into history and learned how the different religions developed and why. It started to make sense to me that people living short, scary lives needed an afterlife to look forward to and that conmen jumped on that to create social doctrines to control people. Then if something bad happened, those conmen could say, “Well, that group upset God and He is punishing all of us. That’s why the bad thing happened. I didn’t lie; it’s the fault of Them.”
There were lots of other little moments and influences, but this is pretty long! I went from finding comfort in faith, to fearing it, to questioning, to observing, to concluding.
Organized religions are lies. There is no evidence of an afterlife; in fact there is evidence against it. Is there a bigger being that we would call a god? Maybe, but He doesn’t care if little Billy passes his spelling test and He definitely isn’t casting him into pits of fire for not praying before bed. I think it might turn out we are like cells and what we consider the vast unexplored universe is part of a being that isn’t even aware of us. But I don’t necessarily BELIEVE that. It’s just on my list of possibilities.
But I would never try to take someone’s faith from them or argue to change their minds (unless they are using religious doctrine as a weapon; then all bets are off). My dad doesn’t believe in an afterlife, but my mom does. I think it’s a frail belief, so I don’t press her. But she’s the last living person of her family (both parents gone and four siblings). If it helps her function to think she will see them again, it’s none of my business. Her little sister died while on the phone with her and I know it hurts her that their last conversation was cut short so brutally. If that sadness is quelled by thinking they can pick up where they left off in Heaven, I think that’s a good thing.
As I said way back at the start, there isn’t a “why” that can be easily given. I can just take you through the steps I went through.
@83gemm that's actually somewhat similar to my situation. I didn't go to overly religious schools or anything like that, mostly the crazy religious people. What tore a hole in my faith and began my line of questioning was my dad.
In my case, my dad was the pastor, and he was an abusive asshole who brought me to the very edge of suicide and patricide. If it wasn't for my dog, then I most likely wouldn't be here right now. Though I'm sure a religious person would say God sent the dog. Regardless, yeah, he didn't shine a very nice light on the religion. It drove me away, and that's when I began to look at things more cynically and critically. Initially, and to a certain extent, even now, I use that logic to try and defend Christianity. So much so that my mom (who is still religious to this day and went through her own major journey) suggested I become a Christian scientist, lol
For example, your comment about the big bang. I had a similar idea since it's literally just "let there be light" and is otherwise impossible the way scientists believe it happened.
I still try to believe in the soul and desperately cling to various other things to give existance meaning. So, I still dip my toes in religion, but I also find infinitely more comfort in the idea that nothing comes after death rather than the idea that I'd be spending an eternity in one hell or another for happening to choose the wrong religion.
All that said, I asked because, well, I've come to the understanding that athiesm isn't a thing. There is only religion and nihilism. That's something these two episodes of South Park actually highlighted with the people in the future. All their athiesm did was turn science into their new God.
When I saw your comment and how you had gone through a journey to come to your conclusion, and you don't like associating with many other athiests, I want to see if you could challenging my understanding of athiesm.
So ultimately, now that I have some idea of your story and how you came to your conclusions that God(s) aren't real, I gotta ask: What DO you believe in?
@@corruptangel6793 I believe we all get one life and we should strike a balance of enjoying ourselves while being kind to other living things. We are lucky the dice rolled in our favor to even be born in the first place.
I believe that being dead will be like the time before I was born.
I believe there is a lot about the universe we haven’t discovered yet and as those discoveries are made, I’m in a position to adapt my understanding of life, the universe, and everything (Douglas Adams nod there) without needing it to match up with a document written by other humans.
I believe in tipping waitstaff, putting one’s grocery cart back, and not littering.
And most importantly, I believe that pizza is the greatest invention of mankind. 😉
@@corruptangel6793 On a serious note, I want to say how sorry I am that your dad put you through all that. Have you gotten therapy? It might benefit you.
By the way, if you come to find in your own journey that religion IS for you, I think that’s great as long as it’s real faith that fits you. Good luck.
Another one of my favorite episodes.
Another case of poor Butters...
You gotta love that Cartman gets screwed over by his own impatience.😂
You would never see me desperate enough to get in line days for the day one release of new technological devices . I'll wait for it to drop prices.

Classic consoles and their games will forever be classics but I don't think we will ever have anything quite like the xbox 360/ps3 again. Those years of playing those games were magical. I will never forget them.
N64, the giant leap from previous consoles and the number of great games it had.
Playstation 1 was my breakthrough love. My Dad bought one and I was hooked. We previously had Intelevision, Commodore 64, NES, Genesis...
Ps1, n64, and GameCube ❤️
Can't wait for part 2, I recommend checking out the episode The Death Camp of Tolerance.
Original NES. That’s how you know I’m old. For those who know those days remember. It changed lives the way no other console ever have or ever will
PS2, because the library was not only amazing for its time but almost its entire library still holds up to this very day.
N64 is a close second though.
Plus you could play PS1 games on it as well.
Thanks for sharing this. I think a lot of people will vote for the PS2 and I can easily understand why. It was a console that did so many things right.
I agree and ps3 was good aswell i recently got the ps5 as well and i see potential just to bad there is so much bs like ps plus now
Ps2 was an entire childhood, i remember they day i got it😊😊 i got juiced 2, vice city, cod 3, mortal kombat and gow 1 😂😂😂 still remember waking up early on Saturday and jamming the whole day(cause I didn't have a memory card)😅😅 i once almost finished avatar book 3 in one day without it till electricity decided to go off😂😂😂 literally gave up that day
@@dash.reacts Well, objectively speaking the PS2 is still the best selling console of all time with over 150 million sold. By comparison the PS4 is second with 117 million.

For you young people, at 8:30 was the intro for Buck Rogers season 1. Late 70s.
This is one of those episodes that can be put in the genius category.
They are referencing buck rogers they even played its intro music
You def looked traumatized by this episode Dash - here's to a speedy recovery 🤣❤
🤣 Hahaha 🤣
Thanks, Timothy! I’ll try to heal up quickly.
Hey Dash another great reaction. The greatest video game console to me is the NES, it started my Dragon Quest love.
I have a question for you, I believe you've said you live in Japan. Is there really a Dragon Quest Holiday?
Japan has lots of holidays that slip right by me. I haven’t heard of a Dragon Quest holiday, it’d be pretty awesome if they did.
I’ll have to look into that
NES for me as well. So many fond memories playing games like Dragon Warrior and Bionic Commando.
PLEASE react to the Black Friday trilogy. Season 17, episodes 7, 8 and 9. These are very Japanese heavy shows about the boys trying to get new game consoles using the black Friday sales, with Randy getting a job as a mall security officer in order to also be first in line for the sales.
Really looking forward to you telling us what the Japanese in the shows are really saying.
I love that garrisons understanding of evolution is that we are monkeys LOL
The flying spaghetti monster bit fricken killed me because I read that stuff when I was younger due to reading a novel I really shouldn't have been reading at that age. I'll never forget that whole Church of the Paratheoanametamystichood of Eris Esoteric, flying spaghetti monster, the pastafarians and all that other stuff. When I was younger, reading that stuff was like a weird trip.
I am a Playstation man myself.
55 years old and still playing.
I have been playing video games for many years and remember starting out on the Atari 2600.
I traded my pet dinosaur for it. LOL
9:14 -- We're already TWO generations past the Wii!
The "greatest" console is probably the newer VR stuff coming out. It doesn't sell the most, but it is by far the biggest leap in gaming tech that we have had since the switch from 8-bit to 3-d.
02:40 I think it's the Atari 2600. It was the first popular, mass produced home console. It's the first iconic home video game.
Those sex scenes traumatized me when I first saw this episode. Thank God you censored this I cannot go back. 😂😂😂😂
The ball fluffer though 🤣
I think the most impactful consol of all time was the Atari 2600. A lot of people may be too young to remember, but that consol was huge in its day.
I didn't grow up playing it, and yet I love playing much of its game library.
It's gotta be the NES for me. I remember the first Christmas it came out the whole family playing duck hunt and laughing. Memories then came the divorce and the fighting ect
I still remember when i saw this episode at the first time... at the moment of the evolution explanation finish i have found myself in the floor dead by laugh
I appreciate that this episode doesn’t choose a side. Trey and Matt simply think that both evolution and christianity are weird theories of why and how we’re here. Im a Christian and even I can admit my religion doesn’t make much sense, but it makes me happy
7:30 thats what Bias looks like, 🤣. South Park nails it with scenarios like this.
They have to say, "science damn you" because they can't say "goddamn you" lol
Gameboy Advanced SP - it had a built in backlight - it was game changing.
i was 10 when the Wii came out, this is 1000% how it was😂
the Gamecube was my favorite console because i could have multiple animal crossing towns on my memory cards
"Biggest Douche In The Universe" is a good one. They take on John Edwards and psychics in general.
The greatest console ever created... Hmm. The most fun I've ever had on games in general, outside of growing up on an NES, would have to be the Gamecube. There weren't many games on it, but it had Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4 and Smash Bros. Melee and F-Zero GX. The Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro and Elden Ring are pretty much the only games today that really drive that same level of serotonin for me, as was during the Gamecube years.
Best console = SNES. It was the pinnacle of the pixel art era. The games have aged like fine wine even up to this day. The SNES entries of many series really came into their own on SNES, like Zelda. It's what the NES games would have been without the NES limitations.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Dash, I don't think I have ever seen you that shocked at a scene before. I don't think you'll be able to look at Mr/Ms (depending on series) Garrison in the same way again. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
I don’t think I’ll be able to look at life the same way again.

“The Brown Noise” is another outrageous Garrison episode.

The greatest console hasn't been created yet, this will ALWAYS be the answer at any time.
The greatest video game console was the PS2, it was such a dominant system with so many exclusives that if you were into gaming in the 2000s, you had to have owned one. Not to mention that it doubles as a cheap DVD player and can play PS1 games. And the amount of quality titles, many of them exclusives, was mind numbing !

Only south park will actually SHOW "ms garrisons" Harry tits then have an atheist leader motorboat them 😂
I never buy new technology as soon as it comes out. Especially consoles. One reason being, most launch titles aren't the greatest, wait some time after when the price is reduced and the game options are more. Another reason is there may be bugs with it that would be fixed at a later time via updates available.
Also, games themselves are way too expensive. 5 or 6 games can cost as much as the console. It's crazy.
I think Super Nintendo was the best console of all time. Between Final Fantasy 4 and 6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Secret of Mana, Pilotwings, SimCity, Zelda Link to the Past, Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid, Actraiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Mega Man X, Mario RPG Legend of the seven stars..... I could go on and on. Such an amazing system.
Woooooo! That list of games is so good, it almost gave me a nosebleed! Thanks for sharing!
...Super Mario World and Kart, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Star Fox, Super Punch Out, Super Tennis, F-Zero, Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Super Bomberman, NHL '94, International Superstar Soccer, Mortal Kombat 2...
Original xbox, it used PC infrastructure and made consoles computers not just players. It was also able to be fully unlocked and could do anything on it. For its time as a game system it was the best, everything on it just hit 5 stars.
8:08 lol traumatized face
I remember being a kid and waiting for certain games to come out felt like forever. First one that comes to mind was Kingdom Hearts 2. I kept playing the first one in anticipation, looking on the internet for new info, and one time made a dumb PowerPoint with random images that were out at the time.
I don’t think anyone can blame you for anticipating KH2 as a kid. Kingdom Hearts was a special game that did so many things right. Especially with those first two games.
@@dash.reacts oh hell yeah! I still play all the games and try to follow the convoluted story but none of the other games gave me the same feeling of joy as when I first played kh2 🤑
N64 is my favorite! Snes and gameboy and advance were great, but ps2 for the time, the DVD player, and it was great! But Xbox and GameCube were amazing too!!!
I got a Wii on Launch Day, dude at our local Walmart camped out in line for 2 full days to be first in line, I decided around 5 AM to drive an hour south to the nearest Best Buy, got there like 2 hours before they opened the doors and got one and so did the next like 4 or 5 people behind me in line. Still to this day I laugh at the dude that camped out for 2 full days.
Loved both the old ps3 that was huge asf and the original PS2 had the best times of my childhood on those machines.
i still play my wii almost daily. Modded with "homebrew" software, its a beast of an emulation machine capable of emulating any console from the earliest atari and odyssey up to the wii era of consoles. theres still a community dedicated to modding the wii. i play randomizers of my favorite older games
"Pacing in front of the store isn't gonna make the Wii come any faster".
Well....maybe running water will help.
The look on his face, during the sex scene
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The GREATEST console of all time was the Nintendo NES. It opened up the floodgates of gaming for years to come, and is still a beloved classic still used in many households, including mine to this day.
2:40 The answer is Steam Deck. You can play any game ever made in the palm of your hand. Be it modern PC games or old NES games or anything in between
Nintendo 64 for me. There was so many great games for it when it came out. Mario 64, goldeneye, Star wars(can’t remember what it was called) but they had so many great titles.
PS2 is my personal favorite because it’s what I had as a child and played with my brother for hundreds of hours the only reason my parents got us it was because it was cheaper than a normal DVD player and could do more they were against gaming but I think overall it’s gotta be the first Xbox for being the first console with online multiplayer and the early halo games were some of the best
That whole time travel sequence is from the t.v show Buck Rodgers in the 24th century.
I love those sea otters.
Greatest console has to be PS2. It was literally game changing and the fact it had the most sales in history for a reason!
It's hard to argue with that choice. The PS2 was an incredible gaming system.
The switch is the best console ever made, it has most of previous titles on it and the on the go aspect is amazing
You're right about Dawkins, "The God Delusion" was his greatest succes, considering books.
I was in line at a Walmart in Old Saybrook, CT when the Wii came out at midnight. I remember someone got shot when the Ps3 came out.
Dash! Sweet. Always stoked to see a South Park reaction from ya!
I always enjoy your comments!
Thanks, Rustin!!!
SNES was the best console of all time. It was a period in gaming history where very few bad games were actually made. Seemingly everything became an instant classic.
PS2: Ratchet and Clank Going Commando....and a lot of others. That was the golden era of gaming.
Probably the biggest game changerw were the PS2 and the Gameboy.
PS2 for increased graphics, cd/dvd drive, internet connection, backwards compatability. Beat out the OG Xbox
Gameboy was possibly the greatest drop for gaming though imo, it offered mobile gameplay, pretty good battery life for that time, link cables, great graphics for what it was, and was a huge success between older and youger people. Since they had a huge share of the market at the time with the Nintendo systems prior
For me the SNES or the PS2 would be my "desert island" console. It's too hard to pick just one...
“Desert island” console? Love that!!
“why do the kids need to know about that?” …… Applies big time to our society today
7:30 South Park actually met God seasons ago, and Jesus and lived there during the first seasons, he actually met Satan and he knows hell exists
I've noticed that there seems to be huge swaths of this show like legit 3 or 4 seasons that seemingly no one reacted to along with certain shows like the mick that doesn't have a single reaction are certain episodes of this show and others just completely off limits to reacting channels or do people just hate the episodes of South park I love as well as the mick lol
When Miss Garrison and Dawkins were in bed the music and dialogue was a reference to Battlestar Galactica. The relationship between Gaius Baltar and Caprica 6.
South park is low key the most relatable show ever I legit remember that feeling of horror every time we camped out to get a wii just to be a handful of people down the line to many also the amount of teachers I had that got so mad they looked physically ill anytime anything that discredited Christianity wasn't even funny
8:25 It looks like something from "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century"
