there were some funny jokes (especially about the history channel) but to me it was a bit of a missed opportunity to make more fun of puritans and the hypocrisy of thanksgiving. it was almost there; not quite. i don't like when a satirical show gets too self referential with its characters. that's what leads to downfalls of quality.
Still a little cloudy about what was "self referential" about the episode.
it's when the satirical elements only reflect the characters that revolve around the show. i don't think it's clever. it's unimaginitive and it gets old. satirize pop culture in general and it works. get into characters like cartman's imaginary friends...snooze fest.
