Weird, kinda like it.

The fact that the roosters could just play that Magic card game and there wasn't any fun conflict leading up to that kinda sucked.

This episode is kinda weird, and kinda enjoyable.

City Wok doesn't seem like a very good place to do cock Magic, it should've been somewhere more shady.

The name McNuggets for the boys rooster when they were using it to play magic wasn't a very good one.

Cock magic shouldn't be illegal in the episode because it doesn't do anything bad to the roosters.

Silly how the different breeds of roosters do different things in Magic.

Randy's misinterpretation of cock magic was funny, loved Sharon over reacting when she caught him doing that.

Simple, good laughs

It's a really well organized episode where I laughed out loud >5 times, which hasn't happened in most recent episodes.

They didn't try to hammer you over the head with deep meaning or morals, though if you stop and think about the episode there is some good commentary about a variety of topics such as how society is obsessed with absurd/violent male dominated sports (eg MMA, magic cock fighting) while ignoring legitimate women's sports like volleyball. But it wasn't overly introspective and they kept it playful.

Definitely going to have to invest in a handkerchief and practice a new party skill.

Absolutely Hilarious!

I thought this episode was hilarious and i was laughing through the entire thing. Its just as silly and dumb as you want a Southpark episode to be.

Even for the ones that might not know what the main story is about, there's a just as funny side-story to it all, just to top it all off!

While i thought the previous episode "Grounded Vindahoop" was a bad episode measured in South Park standards. I truly enjoyed this one, and I'm giving it a 10/10, as i can't see how a South Park episode in 20 minutes could get any funnier then this.

A truly great episode!

Classic Misdirection + Randy = Awesome

With a title like "Cock Magic," most viewers are going to be coming into the episode wondering exactly how the premise is going to interpreted. Parker and Stone perfectly play off of those expectations, pacing the reveals to keep the audience guessing as one ridiculous thing after another happens. Randy's sub-plot is just icing on the cake.

There may not be a deep message or much social commentary--at least on the surface--going on, but in a season where such episodes (e.g. The Magic Bush, Grounded Vindaloop, #HappyHolograms) have frequently fallen flat, a return to South Park's iconic ludicrous antics feels like a breath of fresh air. As someone who was disappointed with many of the episodes leading up to this one, I found it to be a real return to form for the show and one of the funniest episodes ever.

The boys get involved with an illegal new take on Magic: The Gathering, while Randy does unspeakable things due to misinterpretation

Wow. After possibly the best episode of the season, and perhaps the whole series, South Park lays an egg. Yes, the usual two-plot structure exists, yet the vulgarity and gore was simply, well, for the vulgarity and gore. There was no parody, no underlying meaning, no exposing of the faults of society. The intensity of cock fighting meets the nerd-orgasm inducing game of Magic:The Gathering? Really? And I hope the underlying message wasn't animal cruelty or gender equality, because you've already beat that horse repeatedly. Am I supposed to laugh at Randy's utter stupidity? I know you are better than that South Park. Not only was the episode a disappointment, but the ads for this episode were misleading. You featured City Wok and its owner, yet they were featured in ONE scene. Even Cartman, who in the ad was the featured character, did not play an important role whatsoever. And where was Butters? After playing such an important role the past few episodes, and having success, you just don't include him ? THIS IS WORST THAN TIMMY'S TAXI EPISODE! Especially the scene where Randy cuts off his dick in front of little kids, that is not rebelling against constant, static TV Episodes and defining the individualism of South Park, that is just plain unsettling. I love South Park, have seen every single episode, and this just upsets me. Don't watch this episode. You have been warned.
