That choice was great as it lead to the Cartman we know and love today. This is the first episode where we really learn how evil Cartman is thus changing his personality from just an annoying brat to a plain evil person.

Now we come to what is without any argument one of the best, and possibly even the very best South Park episodes ever and that is of course Scott Tenorman Must Die. It is so inventive and clever with its making fun of all the religious leaders and of course some jokes are absolutely incredible, they made me laugh a lot. Super Best Friends is without a doubt one of the best episodes of the fifth season. Cripple Fight is not this season’s highlight, the subplot with the fight is too simplistic, but the scouts subplot is better. But Cartman is hilarious in this one episode and his lines directed to Kyle here are standouts. It Hits the Fan is terrific when social commentary’s concerned, but gets somewhat repetitive later on. I will go from episode to episode as that is the best way to review such a show. It is also the first truly classic season thus setting the bar for others to follow. Yes, South Park Season 5 is incredibly good, hilarious and so smart.

After “South Park” series lows like “ Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers” and the underwhelming (but perfectly okay) “Game of Thrones” trilogy of episodes, “South Park” Season 18 proves there’s still more for the boys to do, say, and see in future seasons.South Park Season 5 TV Review Trey Parker and Matt Stone in 2001 created probably one of the best ever seasons of their show.
#South park season 5 episode 3 summary serial
While the experiment in serial storytelling is only half-successful, it does make “South Park” feel fresh and different. More even in quality than the ups and downs of “South Park” Season 16 and light-years better than “South Park” Season 17, “South Park” Season 18 gives us a lot of great episodes. Grade: A- 'South Park' Season 18 Final Thoughts A dense episode, loaded with its own Twitter feed, a dark Kurt Cobain parody of celebrity exploitation, and a thought-provoking ending that shoves PewDiePie right down our throats. Cartman trending so hard he gains real-world Let’s Play commenting power is hilarious (“Trendscending” and “Trendsgender” are both perfect coinages). Grade: B- ‘South Park’ Season 19, Episode 10 “#HappyHolograms”Ī good end to Season 18 of “South Park,” paying off a lot of continuity threads and making the plot elements introduced in “#Rehash” sing. The hologram thing sucks up too much plot, even if Michael Jackson’s hologram repeating “allegedly” over and over is really funny. Cartman Brah is perfect, but Randy is the least funny part of an episode for the first time ever. The strange phenomena of YouTube celebrity is a great target, but only so many “grandpa” jokes can land. Grade: A ‘South Park’ Season 18, Episode 9 “#Rehash” Grade: C+ ‘South Park’ Season 18, Episode 8 “Cock Magic”Īnother great episode, combining cock fighting, Magic: The Gathering, and Randy. Still, a better Borges style “South Park” episode than Season 14’s “Insheeption.”

Grade: A+ ‘South Park’ Season 18, Episode 7 “Grounded Vindaloop”Īfter a great start, with Butters believing reality is nothing more than a VR construct, this “South Park” episode abandons that for too-confusing layers of reality and a boring India call center joke. Plus, ever since “South Park” episode “ You’re Getting Old” Stan has been one of the more complex characters, making his scene with Satan the “South Park” Season 18 highlight. It doesn’t get much better Than Randy’s alcohol-soaked crisis intervention. This a funny episode with a clear message. Grade: A- ‘South Park’ Season 18, Episode 6 “Freemium Isn’t Free”Įverything is funnier in Canada, even “South Park” Satan’s Canadian brother, Beelzeboot. Gets exactly as insane as every episode of “South Park” should get.

Grade: B- ‘South Park’ Season 18, Episode 5 “The Magic Bush” Though “ Crippled Summer” is great, Nathan and Mimsy feel overplayed by this point. Other than a funny “ Wacky Races” parody, this one is better conceptually than in practice. Grade: A- ‘South Park’ Season 18, Episode 4 “Handicar”
