i like the one where they go to the rainforest (season 3 episode 1). i can watch that episode over and over. next best would be when jimmy and timmy joint the crypts gang, since they’re crippled…
Great show. They get the cartoon produced so fast they can satirize current events. I love it.
My favorite one this season has been one of the firsts…when the boys buy the weapons from the fair, and pretend ot be ninjas…the satirizing of the anime shit was hilarious!
From the whizzing backgrounds in the fight scenes, to the crazy songs with in japanese with a few american words ( " …PROTECT MY BALLS!"), I thought it was fucking hilarious. If you’ve ever seen some anime, sometimes when they roll credits, the songs will be in japanese in its entirety, until, say, the chorus, where one American phrase comes in, out of nowhere…fucking classic. They nailed that.
And when Cartmen creeped on stage, naked, and “invisible”, naked in front of everyone at the auction…I laughed so hard I almost choked.
Great show.
Some of the other episodes this season have been a disappointment though. The Mel Gibson episode was just weird.
I think souhpark is funny, but the one about the steroids was actually pretty annoying. I saw it as another media outlet misinformed about steroid effects, weighted with the same ‘sports ethics’ that is slowing causing the ban of all safe supplements. I know it is just a cartoon, but its things like this that keeps people so misinformed about steroid use.
?'m late to the party as well re: Southpark, I didn’t really see many episodes until recently. THat said,
the funniest one I’ve seen is when Cartman tries to find out who his father is, and his mom’s a slut which makes it hard to giure out. He spends the whole episode trying to be black, native American, etc according to whom he thinks is his dad at that moment. When he thinks Chef is his dad and shows up looking like Public Enemy in 1989, I laughed maybe as hard as I ever have at a TV show. THe jumpsuit, the huge clock, the flattop… “Can I get a Westsiiiidddee??”
THe “love” episode was cool too, where Butters falls in love with the Hooters girl and Stan becomes a Goth kid.
The one where Carman buys some older kids pubes and glues them to his face to look older/then finds out and tricks the kid into eating his own parents and Cartman tries to train a horse to bite of the kids dick.
The goo-backs episode where as a result to not have an overpopulated future everyone goes queer.
The red-rocket episode where Cartman jerks off/ “milks the dog” while saying “Red Rocket, Red Rocket” LMFAO!
My favorite has got to be the episode with the cripple fight between Jimmy and Timmy. I saw a Southpark special on VH1 and they explained that they scripted the fight scene directly from some old movie (I can’t remember the name). The showed the movie and Jimmy/Timmy fight side by side - it was amazing how close they got it - even down to the dialogue and sound effects!
I have to second the “Michael Jefferson” episode. When Cartman and Mr. Jefferson almost kiss, I was screaming “NO!!NO!!” at the TV. The “got your nose” game going horribly awry made me laugh my ass off. I would have to say that South Park is my favorite TV show.
