south park gets better and better as it progresses. i lauged hareder for this season than i did for the last!

"Timmy! Live-a-lie Timmy..."

This is definetly one of the best seasons of South Park. Seasons 3, 5, and 10 are the only ones to rival for that position. From the introduction of TIMMY! to Cartman joining NAMBLA, this is one riotous adventure after another.

This season is really the first season to ever take real issues from the world and stick them in the world of South Park. In "Cartman Joins NAMBLA" (most definetly the best episode this season), Cartman feels he is too mature to hang out with his friends (with my favorite version of his "Screw you guys, I'm going home") and goes to find "mature" guys. Well, he finds NAMBLA which is an actual organization out there in the world. In "Timmy 2000", TIMMY! joins a band and begins performing, and of course, everyone takes offense to the band's blatant "exploitation." And leading this as the (ridiculously hilarious) serious man against this is Phil Collins. "Well, I mean, people are laughing at him...You shouldn't make fun of people with disabiwities!"

The episodes that are just there to make us laugh are gut-busting, too. In "The Fairy Tats 2000", after learning that the Tooth Fairy isn't real, the boys decide to use that idea to steal other kids' money for a profit. They are about to pull it off when they learn that a kid's organization has been doing for years (in a "The Godfather" parody). In "Something You can do with Your Finger", Cartman dreams up the idea to start a boy band and make $10,000,000. Their first problem is getting a fifth member for the boy band (who turns out to be Wendy, even though Cartman is opposed to this because of "her huge freakin' hooters").

Alas, this is not without its downs (thus the four stars). "Pip" is a nearly word for word SCENES parody off of "Great Expectations". (For the record, I didn't like that book, so I already didn't like this episode.) Another big reason this episode sucked was because it used Pip, the "stupid French piece of crap" that everyone hates. The other episode would have to be "Helen Keller! The Musical". While it DID have some Cartmanesque moments and TIMMY! as Helen Keller, the rest of the episode was pretty much lackluster. That ends my tirade on the weakness of the season. Overall, a brilliant success by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. In the future, I hope they can outdo even themselves (which seems very hard to do).
