DVD Reviews of South Park - The Complete Second SeasonDVD Review: as great as the first season. Summary: 5 Starsthe whole season at a time is great to watch and we have really enjoyed it.
DVD Review: "Respect my authorit-ah..." Summary: 4 StarsA much better season than number one was. This is also the season with the most episodes, so you at least will find one good episode.
This season starts off with an April Fool's joke. The last episode of the first season was "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut", the first hangover episode in which Cartman is trying to find out who his father is. The conclusion WAS supposed to air, but since it was April Fool's Day, they aired another episode instead, "Not Without My Anus" which was about Terrence and Philip, the two dirty Canadians who have their own show on the show. The episode itself is not very funny, but the fact that they played an April Fool's joke on the audience is a hilarious way to start out the season. The next episode, "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut", we find out who Cartman's dad is...
In the episode "Chickenlover", we get one of Cartman's most famous lines ever. "RESPECT MY AUTHORIT-AH!" This is one of the better episodes of the season as Officer Barbrady shows a huge level of incompetency in one of his few episodes. And he also can't read.
"Roger Ebert Should lay off the Fatty Foods" is NOT about Roger Ebert, he only appears as a constellation. The two funny things in here are Cartman and the Plane-arium director. Cartman is trying to be the kid who sings in the Cheesy Poof commercial. "I love Cheesy Poofs, you love Cheesy Poofs. If we didn't eat Cheesy Poofs, we'd be...lame." On the flip side, we have the Plane-arium director who has a wierd bone disease which prevents him from saying the "t" in plane-arium. This is his only funny line, but it's hilarious. Oh, and Mr. Mackey has a funny scene, too. MIND MELD! "Hey, you're blocking my chi...m'kay?"
"Chef Aid" has that lawyer who won O.J. Simpson's case. That is probably the funniest it gets, but it IS funny. "Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, listen to what I say. See here. This is Chewbacca. He is a Wookie who lives on Endor where the Ewoks live. Now that does NOT MAKE SENSE!"
All in all, a better season than its predecessor. It gives one of the greatest lines ever and certainly helps propel South Park into more hilarious misadventures.
DVD Review: south park season 2 Summary: 5 Starsthe dvds came in the condition that they were promised and in a timely manner. thank you.
DVD Review: Got to love 'em Summary: 5 StarsThis is one of the best seasons of South Park. If you are unaware of what the show is about, it is about four foul mouth kids living in Colorado. It is cutting edge humor, that is often in response to the current events of the time. This is not just vulgarity, it is very biting sarcasm found in these episodes and it shocks as well as makes you laugh. Not for those who are easily offended, for everyone else it is a good time.
DVD Review: They're Back! Summary: 5 StarsThe adventures of South Park, Colorado's intelligent and potty-mouthed third-graders continue in this 18-episode second season collection. Season one ended with a cliffhanger that promised to reveal the identity of Cartman's father. The air date for the second season was on April Fool's Day, so instead of the conclusion to the cliffhanger, viewers were treated to a special episode of "Terrance and Phillip". In season two the viewers meet the school guidance counselor, Mr. Mackey, for the first time (o'kay), meet the school nurse for the first time, relive some favorite SOUTH PARK moments from the perspective of the kids, are offered to taste of Chef's salty chocolate balls, see the kids suffer through chickenpox, spend a Christmas with Charles Manson, visit the underground lair of the underpants gnomes, and see a man come to life who was frozen in ice since 1996. The episodes on the season are as follows.
"Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus"--The Canadian farting friends, Terrance and Phillip, rescue Terrance's daughter Sally from the Middle East while Saddam Hussein uses the rescue as an attempt to take over Canada.
"Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut"--The boys wait for Mephisto to recover from his gunshot wound so that Cartman can find out who his father is. Meanwhile, South Park is hit with a blizzard and many of the town's citizens resort to cannibalism to stay alive.
"Chickenlover"--Someone is going around South Park raping chickens. Officer Barbrady is on the case, but is put on probation after he announces he can't read. The boys are deputized to help solve the case and Cartman becomes a criminal's worst nightmare.
"Ike's Wee Wee"--Ike's going to be circumcised. Kyle thinks it means his parents and rabbi are going to cut off Ike's Wee Wee so he sends him on a train to protect them. Meanwhile, the school guidance counselor, Mr. Mackey is fired and falls into a life of drugs and alcohol.
"Conjoined Fetus Lady"--Meet the school nurse, she has a dead fetus attached to her forehead. Also, the boys travel to China and compete in the World Championship Dodgeball Game.
"The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka"--After the boys believe that Stan's uncle Ned and his friend Jimbo lied to them about their exploits in Vietnam, the boys trick Ned and Jimbo. Meanwhile, "Jesus and Pals" attempts to compete with the ratings juggernaut of Ned and Jimbo's cable access show.
"Flashbacks"--the schoolbus almost drives off a cliff. While waiting to be rescued, the boys relive some of their favorite adventures so far, complete with a sitcom laugh track.
"Summer Sucks"--School's out and the boys are bored. They're looking forward to the 4th of July until they're informed they can no longer buy fireworks. The mayor tries to fix things by burning the world's largest snake. Meanwhile Ned and Jimbo travel to Mexico to get some real fireworks for the kids, Mr. Hat leaves Mr. Garrison, and Cartman has to take swimming lessons.
"Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls"--Robert Redford brings a new film festival to South Park turning the quaint mountain community into a mini-Los Angeles. The strain causes the sewer systems of the town to overload and bring Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo to the brink of death. Meanwhile, Chef tries to earn some extra money by selling his tasty confectionaries. Look for the obvious allusions to E.T. and PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
"Chickenpox"--the boys' parents have them all spend the night at Kenny's in an attempt to give them the chickenpox. Kyle's mother arranges for Kyle's Dad to go on fishing trip with his old friend, Kenny's Dad.
"Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods"--in this takeoff of a Star Trek episode, the children visit the planetarium and are strangely drawn to keep returning. Cartman skips out on the trip and tries to gain some national fame by auditioning for a Cheesy Poofs commercial.
"Clubhouses"--Wendy promises Stan to play Truth or Dare with him if he invites her to his clubhouse. Stan doesn't have a clubhouse and has to build one. Wendy's friend Bebe thinks Kyle is hot and want to make out with him in Stan's clubhouse. Cartman gets angry at Stan and Kyle and builds his own clubhouse with Kenny. Also, Stan's parents get divorced.
"Cow Days"--At South Park's annual Cow Days the boys are determined to win some Terrance and Phillip dolls from a crooked vendor. When Cartman receives a blow to the head, he thinks he is a Vietamese prostitute named Ming Li and the boys use him to enter a bull-riding contest in an attempt to win $5,000.
"Chef Aid"--Chef sues a music company to get credit for a popular song he wrote entitled "Stinky Britches". He looses his case and is left broke by the record company. He starts whoring himself to all the women of South Park in an attempt to raise some money. Meanwhile, the boys seek out some of Chef's famous friends from the music business and hold a music benefit concert.
"Spookyfish"--A Halloween episode. Aunt Flow makes her monthly visit to Stan's Mom Sharon and gives him a pet goldfish. Stan believes the fish is demonic, but no one believes him until dead bodies start showing up in his room. When the boys befriend an "evil" Cartman from another universe they discover that a portal to another dimension has been opened and they have to find a way to close it.
"Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!"--the boys travel to Cartman's Grandparent's house to spend the night and eat a holiday dinner. Cartman's Uncle Howard breaks out of prison and brings Charlie Manson with him.
"Gnomes"--Mr. Garrison's is being evaluated by the school board and assigns Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Cartman are assigned to write a report with Tweek to present before the school board. The boys can't think of anything to write and are saved from failure when Tweek's dad promises to write their paper for them. He write a brilliant piece of exposition about the evils of big corporations (such as the Harbucks Coffee that is moving next door and threatening to put Tweek Coffee out of business). Meanwhile, Tweek tries to convince everyone that there are gnomes that steal his underwear.
"Prehistoric Ice Man"--Kyle and Stan uncover a frozen man in an ice cave. Dr. Mephisto thaws the man out and he comes out of hibernation. It turns out he's a missing hiker who got lost in 1996. The man seem unable of coping with how much the world has changed in three years and wants to go back to his own time, but the government wants to keep him as a permanent display.
The first twelve episodes in the series are prefaced by an introduction with Matt Parker and Trey Stone. The Terrance and Phillip episode is as close to a real introduction these two ever give and they explain the why they did things at the start of season two that they did (April Fools!). The next few episodes have Matt and Trey playing at a retirement home and the rest of the introductions feature them hosting their own cooking show, "Makin' Bacon with Macon." Out of all the "intros" they have done for the shows, these are the most disturbing I have seen: the mascot of the show is a pig named Macon that they keep feeding bacon to over and over and over.
The special features with this season include a musical video of "Chocolate Salty Balls" and a fifty-minute long behind-the-scenes documentary about the show entitled "Going Down to South Park". In "Going Down to South Park" Matt and Trey actually let their guard down a little and reveal some real information about their start and the show. However, less than half of what they say is true and the rest is an act as they perform for the camera.
So, let's go on down to South Park and meet some friends of mine.
Description of South Park - The Complete Second SeasonStudio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 04/03/2007 Run time: 404 minutes Rating: Nr Now that enough time has lapsed, we can all have a good laugh over South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's amusing little April Fools prank, in which they kicked off the show's second season not with the conclusion to season one's cliffhanger that would reveal the identity of Cartman's father, but with an all-Terrance, all-Phillip, all-farting episode, "Not Without My Anus." The ensuing outcry illustrated just how seriously its devoted fans take South Park. There is little evidence of sophomore slump in this three-disc collection of 18 episodes that continue the coming-of-age trials of third graders Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny. There is considerable shock value just in the episode titles alone, among them "Cojoined Fetus Lady," "Merry Christmas, Charlie Manson," and the infamous "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut." But mostly, the episodes are just--in Cartman's words--hella funny. "Spookyfish" is a creepfest about a killer fish, possessed animals, and alien alter egos (in which the so-called Evil Cartman is much nicer than the real Cartman) presented in Spookyvision, with pictures of Barbra Streisand framing the screen. "Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls" is a hilarious send-up of the Sundance Film Festival and the indie film scene that marks the return of Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo, and ends with the burial of Robert Redford in excrement. As always, hard-earned life lessons provide South Park with fertile territory for skewed and subversive social commentary. In "Chicken Lover," Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is an argument against literacy. "Underwear Gnomes" makes a strong case for corporate takeover of local family business. It is difficult to respect Warner Bros.' "authoritah" with the scant DVD extras. There are no commentaries, but Parker and Stone are present to introduce most of the episodes, each of which they proclaim to be their favorite. But their incarnations as abusive retirement center entertainers and as the hosts of an all-bacon cooking show fall flat. Bring back Rootin'-Tootin' Trey Parker and Pistol-Slingin' Matt Stone from the Season One set! --Donald Liebenson
