South Park

Plot synopsis:
While on a school field trip to a candy factory, Butters spots actor Tom Cruise working there, packing fudge into boxes. Stan, who previously told Cruise that his acting is not as good as others' in "Trapped in the Closet", accidentally insults him again by calling him a "fudge packer", as Cruise claims to be fly fishing. Cruise then recruits 200 other celebrities who have been ridiculed by the town of South Park to bring a class action lawsuit against the town. Stan returns to the factory with his father Randy to try to apologize and convince Cruise to drop the suit, but also finds it difficult not to call him a fudge packer as well since he was literally packing fudge while they spoke. An angry Cruise agrees to do so, but only if they can help Cruise meet Muhammad. This causes an uproar because depictions of Muhammad are forbidden, and the townsfolk fear that forcing Muhammad to appear in public will drive Muslim radicals to bomb the town. Stan and Kyle go to the Super Best Friends, a squad of superhero-like religious figures (Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha, Moses, Krishna, Laozi, Joseph Smith) of which Muhammad is a member, to request he return with them to South Park. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Cruise and the other celebrities only want Muhammad for his "goo", as Rob Reiner, previously shown to be filled with "goo" in "Butt Out", has invented a machine to transfer Muhammad's "goo" to the celebrities, which they believe will make them immune to ridicule, just like Muhammad.
By this time, Cartman arrives with "Mitch Connor", a face painted on his hand as one-half of a ventriloquist act. Previously, Connor had successfully impersonated actress Jennifer Lopez in "Fat Butt and Pancake Head", and now Cartman and Connor return to the Lopez imitation in order to get involved in the lawsuit along with the other celebrities. Connor soon secretly convinces Cartman that they should steal Muhammad's goo for themselves to sell on the black market for more than the lawsuit could offer. Meanwhile, Kyle and Stan convince the Super Best Friends to let Muhammad come to town, but only if he stays in the back of a U-Haul truck and is not seen. When the townspeople realize they must bring Muhammad to Cruise's limo, they allegedly put him inside a bear mascot outfit. South Park is about to give Muhammad to the celebrities when the exchange is interrupted by a bomb planted by the Ginger Kids, a group of fair-skinned, red-haired children who are tired of being made fun of for their physical appearance. The Gingers want Muhammad for themselves, hoping to use his goo for their own means. They threaten to blow up the town if Muhammad is not turned over to them.
The people of South Park decide to turn Muhammad over to the Gingers, fearing the violence that will befall their town if they do not. The celebrities are angered by this change in events, but refuse to resort to violence for fear of ruining their careers. Instead, the celebrities decide to awaken the rebuilt Mecha-Streisand, a giant mechanical monster form of Barbra Streisand, who previously terrorized the town of South Park before being destroyed. The celebrities hope to use Mecha-Streisand to force South Park to accept their demands. Meanwhile, due to the chain of events, Cartman decides Connor's scheme has become too complicated and tries to quit, but Connor convinces him to stay involved by revealing that the townspeople of South Park have lied to Cartman about his true father. Although they previously claimed his hermaphroditic mother was also his father, Connor insists this is a lie. Cartman confronts his school teacher Mr. Garrison and Garrison's old hand puppet Mr. Hat, who admits to Cartman there was indeed a cover-up. Mecha-Streisand roars threateningly and continues her reign of destruction as the episode ends.

Review:
And it's funny how people still react the same way to the show as they did 20 years ago:The self-proclaimed flag bearers for our nation's moral standards still can't see anything in the show beyond its naughty language and (perceived) vulgarity (and while half of them are genuinely offended by the show for those reasons, the other half secretly loves the show precisely for its naughty language and overall vulgarity and toilet humor).The ones who make fun of the self-proclaimed flag bearers still believe only they are smart enough to see anything beyond the obvious naughty language and overall vulgarity in it (and while most of them pretend to only love the show for its satirical elements, the majority of them actually love it because of its naughty language and overall vulgarity and toilet humor).And then there's the third group of people who get the satire but just flat out admit that it's effing hilarious seeing Gerald getting peed in the face by his loving wife Sheila or when the boys protest the girls' protest by proudly taking their tiny wieners out while raising a fist.If anything comes close to good satire and ruthless comedy in the vein of Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' today, it's South Park.
Network: Comedy Central; Genre: Animated Comedy, Satire, Parody; Content Rating: TV-MA (for dark comic content and graphic language, sexual content, violence & animated gore); Available: DVD; Classification: Modern Classic (Star range expanded: 1 - 5);Season Reviewed: 10+ seasonsStan Marsh, Kyle Broflowfski, Eric Cartman and (sometimes) the ill-fated Kenny McCormick are 8-year-old boys growing up amid an adult world in the backward, frozen-over mountain town of South Park, Colorado.
Their adventures, that make up creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated comedy "South Park", include fending off everything from supernatural demons to the biggest names in the Hollywood intelligentsia.
South Park is probably the most misunderstood show in TV history.Sure, it does have fart jokes but what it has really involved into is a show that depicts a wide range of current events, pop cultures references, social problems through the lenses of a group of 10 year olds and all the wacky characters that surround them.The fact that the drawings are fairly simple also makes a lot of people shy away from it, but actually this show has a completely unique approach to several divisive or thought-provoking subjects.
To name a few:'The Hobbit" looks at how photoshopped photos makes society expectations of a woman's body hard to reach and the amount of pressure it may put on little girls (whilst taking hilarious jabs at Kanye West and Kim Kardashian)"You're getting old" takes you over the nightmare that is feeling like you might be mentally older than you friends and that may make left outConsole Wars episodes dive into the consumerism involving Black Friday, video games and the world's obsession with Game of ThronesThese are all great episodes and I think the show if anything has aged well with time.The other brilliant thing about South Park is that because each episode gets produced in the span of week, it can be more up to date than any scripted show - just this season it referenced Kavanaugh nomination controversy in an episode even before he was eventually confirmed.Second 10/10 I have given on IMDb and South Park is well deserving of it..
South Park is an intelligent, humorous and thought-provoking show that is often ignored or decried by people who judge it only by the very things it deliberately throws in their face, such as profanity, simple animation, and graphic violence, because the creators know that people like this are easily offended by these things, and will always miss the point.
The episodes tackle a wide range of issues, from 9/11 to violence on television to celebrity obsession to religion, through the use of comedy, which is usually the best way to handle such matters.The main characters are four children who are basically mouthpieces for their creator's opinions, expressing views that would sound arrogant coming from adults.
Other characters on the show usually represent majority/opposing views as the plot requires.Like any long-running show, some episodes are better than others, not all have something to say, and not all are funny.
Kyles Mom and Dad, Cartman's Mother, Butters, Timmy!, Sherrif Bar Brady, Principal Victoria, Wendy, BeBe, and..Big Gay Al..etc....etc..you name it, they are just too much.Wonderful and ground-breaking (even though the animation isn't state of the art) nothing is out of bounds for these guys...South Park is an instant classic and a great time to be had by all..
It seems that every time I get into a discussion about current events I can site and episode of Southpark to support my (or someones) point.I ask that no matter how terrible you think the show is, watch it and look past some of the obscene jokes and interpret/understand the underlying meaning in the show.
A great improvement has been made to series 4 and series 5 is even better.The Simpsons maybe everyones favorite family, but this show is improving and quite frankly the Simpson's plots are getting worse.South Park already has a movie (quite successful and a good laugh) and it hasn't finished it, unlike the apparent rumors that The Simpsons will be finished when the movie is being made.How the kids respond to Kenny's death now has been improved, so you don't put up with "Oh my god, they  killed Kenny" every week.To finish, great show hope it goes on..
People might have issues with some of the stories and language used throughout, but if you like comedy with satire and some adult references you would enjoy this series.I liked the episode based on Warcraft game(season 10,episode 8), if you are going to start watching it you can start with this episode.Big applause for Trey Parker and Matt Stone the creators of South Park.
One episode of "South Park" had so much swearing, a profanity was outlawed from public television "indefinitely." Sometimes the gags are kind of lame because they are so juvenile, but for the most part it's really funny.
At first I thought, "this show is completely crude and has no purpose." Recently I started watching South Park again because of it's comedic interpretation of modern day culture.
One of my favourite episodes was when the Internet broke down for the entire world, and how it crippled society.South Park is about four boys: Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny who started out in 3rd grade and then went to 4th grade.
When people who only watch Rick and Morty hear South Park, they think it's a very lazy and crude show (I will be ripping my friends' love for Rick and Morty to shreds).
Unfortunately, lots of people don't like it because of how inappropriate and vulgar it is, even though what ''South Park'' says in the show is completely accurate.
Garbage like Family guy tries to be funny, South Park probably throws away jokes that show would love to have.
South Park is HILARIOUS!It is very much a satire, but it being animated gives the creators and writers freedom to do practically whatever they want, and there are NO restrictions in this show.
You really gotta evaluate the times you live in when even South Park, the only remaining voice of reason of today's TV (let's call it that) caves under political correctness and starts pandering to women (not all, just the hateful and insecure ones who need to be patted on the back and called "smart and funny" every 5 minutes).I've gotten used to the fact that my "male privilege" is to be the only one who's allowed to be bullied, called anything, hit, having to work hard for everything I have, and see men portrayed badly in all TV shows and advertisements while those same pander to women, and being quiet about it.
Even bottom-tier shows like Family Guy made me chuckle more this year.One thing's for sure, I'm not buying the new South Park game nor will I keep supporting what went rock bottom in pandering flames this year after 19 years of me praising and advertising it.
I get it, its better than the rest of their recent episodes and i think its very big of them to admit that but its not necessarily what defines good television and if they're going to keep it on the air the least they could do is bring back good plot and original, 3 dimensional characters.
South park also usually has its own message at the end For example It hits the fan a episode many people thought was just how many times can we use the s word uncensored on TV, but were wrong when the whole message of that episode was why are certain words different and offend people when other words don't and a very good point why is OK for TV dramas to curse and say curse words when a animated show wants to everyone flips out shown in this episode which features the s word 182 times..
I find myself thinking that everything they do is based on common sense and I appreciate that they believe in equality when it comes to calling out idiotic behaviour.If you don't give South Park a proper chance you will never understand the genius behind it or if you cannot get over your righteous beliefs to look at the world objectively then you will remain disgusted with the so-called decline in popular culture.
I started watching South Park right when I was a senior in high-school, mainly as an act of defiance- it was rated TV-MA and most people said it mainly revolved around absurd story lines with generous amounts of crude and offensive humor, and fart jokes thrown in.
And if its not that, the show deals with the kids just being kids, and the characters interacting with each other in silly situations.Personally I have watched over 200 episodes of Park and it still hasn't failed me in terms of its originality and freshness.
After Season 13 finished, I stopped watching; the show had gotten too ridiculous with its plots and the show had lost a lot of its humour.I feel the reason why South Park went on a steady decline when the 6th season finished was not down to lack of ideas or originality in their episodes, it was down to character development.
This TV show used to be awesome with a lot of good adventures but the last episodes were very bad , so bad that i had to stop watching the show I changed my 10 star rating to 1 star just because of last season they made one of the funniest comedy shows into boring not funny cartoon Pc principal is very bad character and cartman and randy are not awesome as they were used to I know a lot of people will still like this show but i know a lot of guys that agree with me that its not that good anymore.
It's just that it's no longer original nor attracts the adult audience as it once did.If South Park wants to survive I think they need to seriously reduce the amount of temporary pop-cultural trends they use, often in a way that make entire episode one big "huh?" for people that may not have heard or care much about such a reference.South Park needs to realize that their platform are no longer suitable as a way to be the most extreme of everything.
This doesn't even count as entertainment; it's the worst form of punishment any human being could get.I could only think of a few other experiences in my life that rank as bad as the show: Finding out a Republican was going to win prior to the "I'm right and you're wrong" Reagan years; Seeing my pet lizard (which I loved) dead from starvation because my neighbor refused to feed it when I was on vacation; and then, watching any movie affiliated with the names "Sandler" and "Shore." Alas, "South Park" will now have a place on this list..
Season 3 was when South Park really started getting better, season 4 was also pretty good.
Season 8 is is for sure my favourite season of South Park with great episodes classic episodes like "Good Times With Weapons" which is in my top 5 favourites, and in my opinion, every single episode in that season gets at least a 9/10 rating.
But overall it's a great show, and if Matt Stone & Trey Parker are able to keep the pace up for another year of great episodes then it'll have a better run than the Simpsons, in my mind, that had stopped being good at around Season 9 or 10 (I don't really see the first 2 seasons of that show being that great either, so that's 7 seasons of Simpson's genius hilarity against about 8 of South Park that were great) My Grade: A+.
And sad thing is, alot of shows are starting to mimic these "South Park" qualities too, such as the recent "Simpson" episode and "The Family Guy".
The characters are hilarious; Cartman, Randy and Mr Macky are amongst my favourites.Many people will probably argue with me when I tell them that South Park is the greatest cartoon show ever.
I remember going to see the movie, "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut," when I was 10 with my parents, and still count the movie as one of the greatest achievements not just in animation or musical history, but in all of film history (by the way Phil Collins did not deserve that Oscar).Today though, I feel I can afford to miss out on recent episodes because I feel I am not missing anything.I don't know what's wrong with the show but it fell overboard sometime during season 8.
First of all I must say scriptwriters of the south park is very brave.Because they can kidding every kind of religion and every kind of political idea.They don't care what other people said.They don't afraid of anybody and honestly it's so cool.And if we are talking about jokes in south park the truth is sometimes jokes could be very mature and about adult stuff.but except this things south park is very funny with Eric,Stan,Kyle and Kenny.If we are talking about the effects and vocalization actually we can't see fascinating effects in the series and you can't hear amazing voices.Songs which characters sang are awesome and funny.I'm really fanatic of this guys the series is almost same age with mewhatever I must go but if you didn't watch south park ever you need to watch it at least 1 time.
One of the strongest tens I ever gave.10/10(I'm near the end of the 8th season now and it still kicks ass.)24 December 2018In the last year I have seen all 22 seasons of "South Park" and, although it had its ups and downs, overall it's one of the best TV shows of all time and definitely the ultimate animated one.
But the thing that keeps me from giving this show a perfect 10 is because i think the show has changed for the worst.So like i said first 18 seasons of South Park we're excellent, even the bad episodes in there still had great memorable moments.
But when Season 4 the show became better and they also became 4th graders came on the show still kept its comedy of the kids being kids and it also started to get more satirical with politics and various subjects happening in the US which was done smart and funny and yet be true to the series with its weird sense of humor and edgy jokes for the alternative audience.
The show has gotten to serious to be called South Park.The show lost it satire and go overboard in to politics to the point where i can just watch the news to here about that.
I'll just state a couple of the supporting characters that are my favorites and there are lots of them but these two always stood the most in my mind.I even like how there seems to be a bit of a contrast to most of the adults and kids in South Park.
Though he's a bit oversexed or obsessed with it as he constantly sings a lot of songs about lovemaking to a woman sometimes at the most inappropriate times and in front of the South Park kids, those songs are both fun and funny as their a slight parody on Isaac.Wendy Testinburger I just love her character.
Everyone takes one look at it and sees the silly animation and the foul mouth young kids and automatically assume its the dumbest show ever but on the contrary it is one of the smartest comedies on T.V. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are clearly very smart and very talented writers using hilarious satire in their episodes to laugh at the world.This show is about 4 foul mouth young boys who live in a small town in Colorado called South Park.
As much as I'd like South Park to be a short two or three season failure, I just don't think it's going to happen.
There is nothing to like about the characters in South Park.
The animation style of South Park was refreshing and seeing preteens swear was funny at the time.
Now, with other adult comedic TV shows around (which are usually very bad), and with the return of Beavis and Butt-Head (2011), South Park feels like it has issues to remain significant.
In it's defense the earliest episodes had to be the funniest like Cartman Gets An Anal Probe and An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig and I like Cartman's voice.The creators of South Park Matt Stone and Trey Parker are a lot funnier than their creation.
