South Park Pokes Fun at the Xbox One v PS4 Console War

Lee Bradley

A South Park episode aired on Comedy Central last night has hilariously taken on the Xbox versus PlayStation console war.

You can see the sketch in the vid below, with the gang debating the relative merits of each platform in a brilliantly over-the-top way, while lampooning the extent to which fans will defend their console of choice. It’s really effing funny and you should watch it. 

Some of the characters are wearing their South Park: Stick of Truth outfits too, which is cool.

On that note, South Park: Stick of Truth was recently delayed (again) to March 4th 2014 in the US and March 7th 2014 in the UK, on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

  • From the game that keeps getting delayed.
  • LOL 'That's how Xbox people are' while M$ did pull it around in the end, the amount of people on here that were defending them while they fucked up was pretty funny.
  • @ #2; Yep, side-splitting in fact.
  • I know there's MS fanboys, but the amount of bashing and trash talking Sony fanboys do on Microsoft's Youtube channel videos is pathetic. Just sick of fanboys in general now.
  • That was brilliant.
  • @4 It's the other way around as well, does it even really matter, you bought your console I bought mine we're both happy can't we just leave it at that?
  • It's funny how nobody can mention how loud and obnoxious sony fanboys are this time around and there is nothing anyone can say about it without being an xbox fanboy and being in the wrong. I don't care if someone wants a ps4, I just don't want it. So, don't bash my choice of system either.
  • Was that episode made with the power of the Xbox One's graphics capabilities? Crisp 1080p..oh..wait.
  • South Park, older than most fanboys and still a hell of a lot funnier.
  • O my god @9 your right that's sad.
  • It's funny really you would think with as an evolved species we could be civil and keep to our own choices but it's not just consoles and world views but it gets really sad like with tv shows and anime
  • fuck south park,grow up idiots!
  • ITS A GAMING CONSOLE, DOES IT REALLY MATTER WHICH YOU GO FOR THEY'RE VERY SIMILAR? jheez
  • south park has still got it.
  • South Park is hilarious, shame the game got delayed though... Console Wars make me laugh! I'd rather have a Stop Touching Me, Elmo!
  • Someone should add on youtube the beginning battle scene of Gladiator for a Xbone vs PS4 console. The Romans are Xbox fan boys and the Germania vikings are the Sony fan boys. I think that would of been awesome!
  • I'm glad my favourite character, Kyle, is on the Xbox One side, just like me. No doubt he's the smartest kid in his class.
  • Kenny knows about that playstation. Thats why he went xbox one!!!....referring to the episode with the golden psp.
  • Gaming is gaming people. Doesnt matter the system. Both will be awesome.
  • The PS3 controller indeed looks fantastic but I've read stories about its d-pad being rather bad. The livestream ability appeals to me more than watching football while playing on the Xbox One. Both of them are great attributes -- you can buy a device to stream video from Xbox separately however, just not being able to show it in a game console live feed.
  • It actually looks like they're making fun of the sony fanboys more with the "that's how xbox people are" line. I havent watched South Park in ages but that was a pretty funny skit making fun of a completely ridiculous argument.
  • I'm hoping to see how they wrap it up next week. Could even be a three parter!
  • honestly i would prefer a console with the xbox controller the price of the playstation the graphics of the playstation and can play games from 360, ps3, ps4 and x1 make everyone happy
  • How did #6 get a thumbs down when he is highly accurate?
  • I love how in the comment section of an article about a popular show mocking the stupidity of console preferences and fanboys along with most of the other commenters agreeing, some inbred idiots are trying to start a fight. I mean, good god. Please go play in traffic and stop giving gamers a bad name. I really need to see this episode. Shame Hulu Plus is about a week behind for South Park. So, I'll check it out in two weeks.
  • I like both consoles because they offer me what I want Entertainment. I'm getting the X1 first due to the amount of friends I play with getting it. But I will be getting a PS4 at some point. Like I did with the PS3
  • I never got a PS3 and will likely never get a PS4. That doesn't mean I hate Sony or anything. Xbox 360 was cheapest back when I was looking for a new console, I like it, so that's the brand I'm sticking with. Not sure why it's more complicated than that with people. If you're constantly looking across the way and comparing your experience with everyone else (THEY get more free games than I do, they don't have to pay for multiplayer yet, etc.) you're doing life wrong.
  • @25 There are several online TV sites where people have uploaded the episode. I watched it online this morning. if you're in the UK it might be on southparkstudios
  • what is the episode name? i missed it.
  • Soon as I seen that episode I thought of this website. Because that's how Xbox people are. HaHaHa. I'll be playing Next gen tonight!
  • Randy Marsh FTW!!!!
  • not sure if someone already posted it, but you can watch the full episode and all other episodes for free here! http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s17e07-black-friday it's the creators of the shows website too! Good guy creator giving out their show for free to view the day after the new episodes...
  • @27 Humanity is built on conflict, if they are unable to be involved in real conflict they will go out of there way to create it even with the most trivial things. It's exactly the same with sports, most people pick a side(or follow there parents) and will fight anyone who thinks differently than they do. It's pathetic TBH, and it's a big reason why games will never be truly accepted by the larger society, I mean how can we prove games don't cause violence, when we fight among ourselves all the time.
  • @#28 Southparkstudios is blocked in the UK has been for years.
  • Just watched the clip. Teared up laughing. So very, very true. Anyway, @33, it really is pathetic. But, it's not what is holding games back from being accepted. I mean, look how pathetically insanely Neanderthal people get about futbol and American football yet those are some of the world's most watched events. Or how much people fight about their favorite pop singer or movies. It's all super lame.
  • That entire episode, in every facet of each reference (Game of Thrones, Black Friday Shopping, holiday Elmo dolls, & next-gen console wars) --- brilliant. Please let there be a part 2.
  • Aww I'm disappointed. I came here expecting a bunch of flaming comments by people complaining how this site is run by "PS fanbois," since these topics having to do with both consoles, yet nothing bad is said by the article writer, always ends up that way. Maybe next time...
  • Wait, why is that an issue? If half of the bunch don't want an Xbox One, that means there's more to go around.
  • @34 Ofcourse theres a part 2. =D
  • @36 NOT 34...my bad!
  • @24 because thats how xbox people are.
  • Rather watch the full episode. Where can I watch the full episode here in the UK? Southparkstudios is blocked and the UK site is... slow as ever.
  • South Park is broadcast on Comedy Central in the UK every Wednesday about 10pm I think. We're only like one or two episodes behind Murica.
  • Funniest quote in the episode " Pre-orders are really just a big dick in the mouth!" haha Brilliant episode, cant wait to see the conclusion.
  • the people the TV show is making fun of is alive and well in this very forum
  • The funniest part of the whole episode was when they poked fun at the fact that their game keeps getting pushed back.
  • But... but... I want the Wii U...
  • @47 Yeah, I thought I was the only one that noticed it lol
  • That's a funny clip which cleverly show how the battle between fanboys is pretty useless.
  • For those in the UK, I just watched it on allsp.com
  • I think humans are always forming groups and classify in "We vs. Them" sometimes over really stupid things and has always been like this through history. Its just how humans are.
  • Just reading some of theses comments,South park very highly accurate
  • my friend's sister-in-law makes $82 hourly on the internet. She has been laid off for eight months but last month her payment was $15922 just working on the internet for a few hours. his comment is here http://www.jobs64.com
