The two-parter was their attempt to lampoon the "reality-based" horror flicks such as Cloverfield and Quarantine. It came across as forced and unfunny. Last night's episode was a lot more fun. Rather than do the obvious and expected (an episode that skewered one or both candidates), they took a different route. The main plot - a send-off of every heist film of the last ten years - was intelligent and well done. The B-story (the way that the town reacts to the election) was biting but unintrusive, which is fine by me. Even the minimal use of the main characters was okay, especially the way they tied in the two plots.

If you went into the episode expecting Matt and Trey to comment on the election and for scathing, irreverent, borderline-offensive jokes at the candidates' expenses, then of course you were disappointed. Perhaps rightfully so. But if you went into watching the episode with an open mind and no expectations/prejudices, you got a solid, quality episode.

Go help me, I do agree with Pariah that the ending of the Wendy Vs. Cartman episode was weak.
