Summary: but i LIKE the matt and trey interviews...
Review: i don't know what that says about me, but i thought it was really funny how the say each episode was their "favorite" one. and how they were these retirement home entertainers....and the bacon....okay i guess it is pretty stupid.they really could have put a chapter select thingy to good use here by letting us skip over them talking at the beginning. it's really annoying fast-forwarding over them every time. but anyways the show's great, any undeniably one of the best cartoons out there...but not enough in the special features category and WAY too much in the commentary category bring it down a star. but if that doesn't bother you, then go ahead and buy it, no dvd collection would be complete without it.

Summary: The Second Season - Best Cartoon after the Simpsons
Review: I LOVE them!! I've watched all episodes on television, 'nd I can't wait for this DVD to come out!! I own the first season... I gave it only 4 stars. But thats because it's the first season, it's never as good as the upcoming seasons! I hope everyone will love this as much as the movie, and I think they will! If you have not seen this on cable or on DVD, don't review it with one star, like most of you reviewers do!! First watch or buy! And do Buy!! You'll love... If you like the Simpsons, you like South Park, specialy 'Cartman'!! He's SO funny... And if you liked the first season, you'll love the second, believe me!! Buy it when it comes out!

Summary: Great show - but they shouldn't let Matt & Trey talk before
Review: I think the show is really great, but they shouldn't let Matt & Trey talk at the beginning of every episode.I really loved most of the shows on the DVD set. I especially like Cartman with his "Screw you guys, I'm going home" & "Respect my authority". I also like Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poop. The school counselor is also funny with his "Drugs are bad. OK. Alcohol is bad. OK" South Park is a pretty [messed up] town, I guess that's what makes it so funny. Matt & Trey should stick to making the show and not appear at the beginning of every show with "This is our favorite show" ... The people who put out these DVDs should put their commentaries in the special features or put in chapters so we wouldn't have to have to watch them with their boring jokes, we could skip them.

Summary: Going back to South Park to meet some friends of mine
Review: I want to complain that Trey Parker & Matt Stone go too far on "South Park: The Complete Second Season," only (a) their obvious aim in life is to "go too far" and (b) they cross the threshold for me on their introductions to the episodes on Disc 2 and not in any of the actual episodes (although clearly there are many who will disagree on both of those points). It has long ago been established that Matt & Trey are not as funny as themselves as any given episode of "South Park." In their introductions on the first disc they are back haranguing the people in that retirement home, but on the second disc we are treated to a faux infomercial for "Making Bacon with Macon," where they keep feeding bacon to a pig. I do not know why pig cannibalism bothers me when I thought nothing of Parker's musical "Cannibal!" but then consistency is the hobgoblin of something or other. Therefore, by way of protesting persistent feeding of bacon to a big, I have rounded down and not up in rating this DVD set (take THAT, Matt & Trey).
Considering these eighteen episodes without the introductory bits, which disappear on the third disc to be replaced by a documentary on "The Making of South Park," there are at least a half-dozen classic episode:
(14) "Terrance & Phillip in 'Not Without My Anus'" is infamous because instead of finding out who is Cartman's father, as an April Fool's Joke we get a complete Terrance & Phillip episode. The best part of this one is the attempt to stop Saddam Hussein from taking over Canada. (3.5 Cheezy Poofs)
(15) "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut" prolongs answering the question about who is Cartman's dad by a pair of running gags, the narrator reviewing possible suspects for absolutely every question posed in the and Liane Cartman's confusion over the differences between "abortion" and "adoption." While Eric might disagree the answer to the big question in this one is pretty sweet: who saw it coming? (5 Cheezy Poofs)
(16) "Ike's Wee Wee" has two main plotlines, the better of which is Kyle and the boys freaking out when they discover what is going to happen to Ike's "fireman" during a Bris. Then there is Mr. Mackey being fired (m'kay) when the sample of mary-j-uana he passed around the boy's class as part of a drug & alcohol prevention lecture (they're bad) disappears. (4 Cheezy Poofs)
(17) "Chickenlover" proves that reading is more FUN-damental than we thought. Obviously the big parody here is of "COPS" as Cartman demands everyone respect his "authoritah." (4.5 Cheezy Poofs)
(18) "Conjoined Fetus Lady" is another one where the two plotlines go their separate ways. The satire of people helping those who do not want help is good enough, but the whole dodgeball competition bit is even better as the boys finally learn why it is okay to hate foreigners when it is not okay to hate Americans of different races or ethnicity. (5.0 Cheezy Poofs)
(19) "The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka" somehow gets from Uncle Jimbo telling the boys about the good life in Vietnam during the war to Jesus cursing. Telling the truth is apparently an important thing. (4.0 Cheezy Poofs)
(20) "City on the Edge of Forever" (a.k.a. "Flashbacks") is a brilliant twist on a television clip show. Trapped in their school bus on the edge of a cliff, the boys recall previous "sticky situations," only all of the familiar scenes now include ice cream. Meanwhile, Ms. Crabtree becomes the hottest comedienne around and the parents record a song to have their "runaway" children come home. (5.0 Cheezy Poofs)
(21) "Summer Sucks" is a kitchen sink episode that combines Mr. Hat's disappearance with Cartman taking swimming lessons and the biggest fireworks snake in the world. A guest appearance by Dr. Katz stands out in this one. (3.5 Cheezy Poofs)
(22) "Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls" has South Park becoming the site of an Independent Film Festival and we learn that Chef's culinary creation does wonders for Mr. Hankey. The music video in the special features is better than the episode, although you have to appreciate the idea of Mr. Hankey as a metaphor for modern American cinema. (4 Cheezy Poofs)
(23) "Chickenpox" has the parents conspiring to have their boys get the disease while they are young. Kyle learns of the conspiracy and the boys come up with a way of teaching their parents a lesson. Amazing what they will laugh at on this show, dude. (4 Cheezy Poofs)
(24) "Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods" is the one where the kids go to the plane-arium and come under the mind control of Dr. Adams. If you need Matt and Trey's introduction to recognize this episode is based on the "Dagger of the Mind" episode of the original "Star Trek" series, you need to bone up on popular culture. (4 Cheezy Poofs)
(25) "Clubhouses" is all about divorce and playing "Truth or Dare," which are more closely related than you would think. This one has one of my favorite moments in the series, when Stan's mom agrees that, yes, the divorce is indeed Stan's fault ("Dude, you're not supposed to tell me that!" he complains). (4.5 Cheezy Poofs)
(26) "Cow Days" introduces us to not only South Park's big summer festival, during the brief period of summer, but the great principle of calling "Shennanigans." Anything involving the cows of South Park is usually good, even this tragic tale, especially if Cartman thinks he is a Vietnamese prostitute named Ming Li. (5 Cheezy Poofs)
(27) "Chef Aid" has the boys coming to the aid of Chef when he is sued by a record company for noticing that Alanis Morresette had recorded one of his songs without giving him credit. Truth is on Chef's side, but Johnny Cochran and the famous "Wookie Defense" are on the other. Fortunately a lot of big stars from Elton John to Meatloaf to Ozzy Osbourne lend their support and their voices to this episode. (5 Cheezy Poofs)
(28) "Spooky Fish" is the gift that Stan gets from Aunt Flo, his mother's monthly visitor. The fish tends to kill people, but that is not the strange part of this one. That would be the "evil" Cartman with his goatee, another "Star Trek" reference ("Mirror, Mirror"). Unfortunately this one is done in "Spooky Vision," which means you have to put up with pictures of Barbra Streisand in each corner of the screen for the entire episode. (4.5 Cheezy Poofs)
(29) "Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!" is actually funnier than the first season "South Park" Christmas episode. How can it now be since it combines Charles Manson with the key elements of "A Charlie Brown Christmas"? This one is sick enough to be really funny. (5 Cheezy Poofs)
(30) "Gnomes" is about the attempt of Tweek Bros., the gourmet coffee house in South Park, to fend off the competition of the corporate giant, Harbucks Coffee. Fortunately the boys are able to get the help of these gnomes who have been stealing underwear, although it is not exactly the type of help you would expect. (4 Cheezy Poofs)
(31) "Prehistoric Ice Man" has the boys discovering a cave man frozen in a block of ice. Dr. Mephisto thaws out the cave man and discovers he has been frozen for (gasp!) 32 months. Can a primitive human being from 1996 understand the world of today? Good question. Meanwhile, Stan and Kyle fight over whether the cave man should be called Gorak or Steve, but work together in the end to send the cave man to a place where he can be happy. (4.5 Cheezy Poofs)
The key defining element of the best episodes is that they are usually strong in terms of parody and/or satire. Fortunately their use of "Star Trek" episodes is moving in the right direction, but when are they going to get to the really good stuff?

Summary: Goin' Down To South Park (Part Two)
Review: I'm back with my second South Park review. Like I said before, this show is vulgar, and inappropriate for young children: but it is SOOOOO funny. Cartman discovers who his "father" is, Chef introduces his chocolate salty balls, the boys discover a cave man, and so much more. The documentary and music video are great.

Summary: This Is It...
Review: If you are going to skip over buying anyone of the South Park DVD seasons...this would be the one to skip.
Season 2 just doesn't have the classic shows that other seasons have. It just doesn't crack me up as much - I still haven't completed all the discs, and I bought it the day it came out!

Summary: it's finally coming!
Review: Man I cant wait for this second "Kick ***" season box set! The first season was awsome and I cant wait to add the next one in! Ive already seen most of these episodes and I can assure you that they are funny as hell with holarious quotes, characters, and the elusive secret to who Cartmans dad is! Sadly there will be no commentary by the genius creators bu Im going to blame that on Warner Brothers and not them, but I hear that there will be many other good extra features that you can look forward to. So come on down to south park and be prepared to watch this over and over again once you buy it!

Summary: This is awesome stuff
Review: Not without my anus, Chef aid, chickenf***er. These are all great episodes from the second season of a little show called South Park. The first season was classic but these 18 episodes blew it out of the water and made the show a staple of American TV comedy. Thank you Matt Stone and Trey Parker for your hilarious show.

Summary: Haven't seen it, but kinda pissed off.
Review: OK I've seen most of the episodes and they are all funny. But I saw a reveiw that made me mad. This lady said to ban South Park because of what her son saw. First of all I don't beleive the story, because I have a friend and sevarel cousins who are mentally challegenged. Noone says "My retarded son." Come on. Even if this IS true, seriously, if you have a mentally chagllegened child, you need to ha a V-Chip in your TV, or at LEAST look sat the ratings. It's obvious that it is rated TV-MA. What did you expect? A show about flowewrs and lambs? Where were you when he was watching this? That's just bad parenting through and through. Then he got beat up for saying a cuss word he saw on South Park? And why was he playing in the park all alone? You or a teacher or gudrian were WHERE when this happens? You can't ban everything your don't like. Heck, if I could do that Atheists and Liberals would all be banned from socitie! So, lady, don't tell it to us, OK? Who's with me on this? I mean, it just sounds like terriable parenting to me! By the way, I have seen MOST of the episodes on here. If your not offended easyily, by cussing or politically incorrectness, then this might be ashow for you. But it is an accuired tatse.
