Cartman Pole Break

Unread postby OUvaulterUSAF » Fri Mar 26, 2004 2:24 pm

Did anyone catch Southpark last Wednesday? Cartman was competing in the special olympics and they had the pole vault. I'm not sure what type of pole he was using (probably an old Catapole...jk) but he snapped it. It was funny.

That was one of the funniest episodes i have ever seen!!! :P

Best line " Dont ask me, i'm retarted, durrrr"-cartman HAHAHAHA

Another show where there was vaulting on it, was the Most Extreme Challenge show on the "First Network for Men"

this show is a Japanese show where they have stupid lttle competitions, where they look like iditos. On one event they had to plant a pole in muddy water and swing onto a floating "pad" in the water. They were using a Pacer III for it, it was AWESOME, people were getting worked!!

anyone see it?

hahahahahahahaha...that was sooo funny. As a diehart polevault and Southpark fan i must say that Cartman is so cool. That pit he was jumping into probly woulnt even be legal for high jump. I always wondered how a handycaped person would pole vault, and that episode gave me the answer. Those guys were even better than me.

The episode resched almost new hights of sickness (cartman competing in the special olympics for 1000 dollars!). I must say that the ending of that episode also was hillarious.

The new series isn't out in britain yet but I downloaded it last night. Pretty sick but still very very funny. The episode before where they fight with ninja weapons is also class, especially the music 'protect my balls' hahaha

ps. have you ever seen someone break a pole like that where they stall first and put a second bend into the pole ? seen it once - nastier because they have no forward momentum to make the pit so tend to land in the box or on the run up.
