When "South Park's" crude, cutting, cartoon commentary is working, the show can be very funny. When it's not working, it can be unwatchably weird. Last night's episode that played off of James Frey and Oprah was an example of the latter. Remember the "Seinfeld" episode where Jerry did a voice that he said was his girlfriend's stomach talking to him when she fell asleep? That her belly button was like a mouth?
South Park did something similar last night with a couple of Oprah's body parts speaking with ridiculous English accents. Without getting in to all the gory details, let's just say that we're not talking stomachs and belly buttons. It wasn't funny, it was just freaky.
