Now this is what real comedy is all about!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2001)

I give "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut" a solid 10 stars. This movie and the show which it is based on, though crudely animated, is truly what comedy is supposed to be: intelligent, gutsy, vulgar, profane, offensive, and never, ever, ever selling out. I believe authentic humor comes when you shouldn't have to walk on a tightrope with censorship. I further believe, and I hate to admit it, that authentic humor comes when you shouldn't really care less about whether or not the things you say is going to offend or disgust a certain group or a certain individual. After all we do have a constitution.
When I compare "South Park" with another prime-time animated series like the long-running 20th Century Fox's "The Simpsons" or compare the South Park movie with Trey and Matt's 1998 movie, Universal's "BASEketball", both the show and the movie "South Park" brutally squashes the competition every time. Bart Simpson, for all of his far superior animation, his troublemaking, his "don't have a cow, man!" doesn't begin to hold a candle that of Eric Cartman or other such ruthlessly funny characters like Terrence & Phillip, The Mole, Satan, or Saddam Hussein. So right on to Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Do whatever it takes just to give us a good laugh. Take no prisoners! Proceed with extreme NC-17 rated prejudice!
