The highly anticipated South Park episode Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers will not air tonight because for the first time in the show’s history Trey Parker and Matt Stone missed the deadline. The two are notorious for handing in the episodes just in the nick of time, but having to deal with an act of Gd or the Devil because he has more reason to hate them, this time they were not able to do it.
They released this statement on the
South Park Studios website explaining what happened:
Episode 1704 will not air tonight
On Tuesday night, South Park Studios lost power. From animation to rendering to editing and sound, all of our computers were down for hours and we were unable to finish episode 1704 “Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers” in time for air tonight. Trey Parker said, “It sucks to miss an air date but after all these years of tempting fate by delivering the show last minute, I guess it was bound to happen.”
GOTH KIDS 3: DAWN OF THE POSERS will air next Wednesday, October 23rd. Tonight there will be encore, Live-Tweeted presentation of Scott Tenorman Must Die at 10p EST.
How much do you want to bet that they didn’t learn anything from this incident and will be back to playing with fire when it is time to turn in episode 1705 in two weeks?
Granted you have to admit that is pretty incredible they made it all the way to season 17 by tempting fate without having any issues until now. If it were me, I would’ve missed the deadline back in season 1.
