So... I'm guessing by context, the "Cavaliers" is a basketball team. They didn't exist when LBJ was president.

Hence why he is called LBJ. And he is also called King James.|

For people of a certain age, "LBJ" has as specific a meaning as "FDR" and "JFK." So... I'm guessing by context, the "Cavaliers" is a basketball team. |
Wait, so he is Presidential Monarch!

I'm only in my 30's and I thought Johnson too. Mainly because I haven't given a flying fig about basketball since MJ was done.

I thought the (original) commercial was very good as well. Now I think he's a bit less of a d-bag. |

And the spoof was spot-on, I was amazed at how fast the SP writers can turn stuff around from current events.

I honestly think their ability to quickly toss very current events into their episodes has been one of the key reasons why South Park stays strong as a show after all these years. |

Poor Butters. Having to dress up as Courtney Love.
I just wanna know who Mint Berry Crunch is and is it wrong that I hope he dies?

Do not hate on "Mint-Berrryyyy Crrrrrrrrr-UNCH!"
Apparently it's Bradley, but I'm not familiar... perhaps Wiki will have info...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ark_Elementary
Bradley (voiced by Matt Stone) is a background character who speaks ocasionally, making his first significant appearance in the "Coon 2: Hindsight" story arc as Mint-Berry Crunch. He plays a fair sized role in the arc, fighting alongside Coon and Friends as well as against the Coon himself.

I think it'd be funny if Mint Berry Crunch turns out to be the one to somehow banish Cthulhu from our world. I mean they've spent the last two episodes building up the joke that no one really knows what his superpower/purpose is so it'd only make sense if he comes out of no where and does something pivotal to save everyone. |

But I think it was pretty clear Obama was going to win at that point and the only really big time crunch was that they incorporated McCain's and Obama's speeches from Election Night.

After Family guy seriously going down the toilet recently its great to see South Park in such excellent form. And for once they are giving some people exactly what they want, well me anyway. Cthulhu and superhero's. Bless them
Cartman's interaction with Cthulhu is just nerd heaven.
south park has consistently amazed me these past few years, the level of satire puts gullivers travels on the beach.
it also really nailed something that might be interesting in these times of disaster television and car wreck characters. combine the concepts of alt universe, carwrecters, and everyone must be dead by the end of the episode. every single time. until the next episode in an alternate universe where we can watch them all die again and be satisfied we are not them, or are we?

I'd love to see this as well. Similar to Clyde (I think it was Clyde) in one ep where he refuses to participate in the boys 'shenanigans' but they all find out he's the 'savior' of the episode... can't quite remember...

Of course that power also sucks if it's only good for flying to places where something's already happened just to state the obvious.

You're thinking of the episodes with the Peruvian Flute Bands. Clyde did unwillingly get dragged into the hijinks of the boys, and ended up being important.

The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.
It's also great hearing Kenny speak in an understandable voice after all those years of being muffled. Who knew he had so much to say? And that mournful, world-weary sigh after being resurrected yet again... man, Kenny is DEEP. Fantastic episode.
