Masterful irreverent satire, 2 Nov 2004
This was my first encounter with South Park and I have not been disappointed. For their science project, the urchins try to genetically cross an elephant with a pig, but the scientist at the South Park Genetic Engineering Lab told tells it could not be done. They therefore follow Plan B, mating the two animals. This is done with the help of the kindly chef who provides romantic soul music, and with lots of alcohol. There's even a cameo appearance by Elton John. Absolutely classic! Then there is the euthanasia skid, which had me alternating between shock and roars of laughter as the 102 year old gentleman tries to get the kids to dispense with him. Amidst all the turmoil and tumult, the angel of death appears but instead of grandpa it goes for Kenny. At the same time the urchins' favourite TV programme, the coprophilic Terrence and Philip has drawn the attention of some South Park residents who go east to protest the show at network headquarters. This is a brilliant send-up of offensive TV but I quite enjoyed Terrence and Phillip as they blow off, swear and laugh about it. That's all they do! Later they appear in space suits doing the same things. In Pinkeye, Kenny infects everyone with a Zombie virus. This one is good but not quite as side-splittingly funny as the first two. In Tom's Rhinoplasty, the teacher has plactic surgery and is transformed into a handsome youth, jiving down the street to the tune of Andy Gibb's Shadow Dancing, while the children get a temporary teacher that they all fall in love with. She happens to be gay, and this realization leads to all sorts of roll-on-the-floor hilarity and carpet-munching fun. I'm lauging again as I write. The creators of the series, Matt and Trey, introduce each episode and that is also witty and charming. I cannot wait for the movie Team America: World Police, it's going to be something to remember. Discovering these lovable South Park urchins has been a revelation and a delight. The picture and sound quality of the DVD is superb.
