I began watching the new series when it started with Human CentiPad, but frankly I thought it was rather meh. I haven't been interested to watch the other episodes, but I watched this one after seeing this thread.
The whole episode's thing was fucking funny. They certainly haven't lost their touch, but they definately have their meh moments. And I totally have Stan's disease!

This actually made me think haha.
"It's Jim Carrey in, "whatever, you'll pay to go see it, fuck you!""

Stan's dad as always is fucking hilarious. "GET OUTTA MY ROOM I'M LISTENING TO MY MUSIC GUHH"
And man, what an ending. This is when South Park is at it's best. When they've actually got something to say. I think that may be part of the problem. At times it can just become "what's popular right now that we can take the piss out of?" One thing I love about the guys who make this show is that they're honest. How they smash the fourth wall into bits and have the characters represent the show itself so well. And the fact that fucking
South Park can be depressing and poignant is amazing.
And it's a cliffhanger episode! One thing is for sure, they have my avid attention for the next episode. Bravo to those guys.
