South Park: The Complete Eleventh Season

This season is just as funny as the priors. I do not know what I would do for comedy/fun if this show didn't air. Watching these episodes again is just as damned fun as the first time. What more can I say, you like it, or you don't. If you don't, get your freekin' funny bone checked. BUY IT!

How ANYONE can write Season 11 of SOuth park is crude, lost its touch or is too repetitive is unfortunately a HOMER. Go back to watching THE SIMPSONS, you JUST DON'T GET IT. You probably ENJOY FAMILY GUY.

Season 11 of South Park is possibly the funniest Season of ALL. Starting off with "Apologies to Jesse Jackson," which I consider the 22 most hilarious cartoon minutes ever produced. Add in the highly creative and interesting 3 part "IMaginationland," the sick punch line ending (I won't give it away) of "Lice Capades", and you have a supremely original, funny, and creative season. BUY THIS.

Now---Season 12 will be a big dissapointment. Where Season 11 is superb in ideas and comedy, the upcoming Season 12 departs. A number of less than funny episodes,. ;ess than socially biting, less engaging characters, and YES, there were repetitive themes in Season 12. BUT NOT SEASON 11!! It's a WINNER!! If there's anything to [...] about it is that they have virtually emilinated TIMMY from the show. Yeah, I know, he's RETARDED but some of the funniest episodes of the series featured TIMMMY paired with JIMMY. I'd like to see a new TIMMY and JIMMY episode!

I know you guys will all bash this post because South Park is for adults.
But I honestly miss the bleeping of the profanities. I know that it is no secret as to what they are saying when the curse words are edited, but in my opinion I think it makes the show funnier when it is done in the bleeping fashion. I have purchased and own all ten previous seasons, and it kills me that they changed it to uncensored with this one. Couldn't they have put two audio tracks is if they were going to have it uncensored? One for uncensored and the second for censored? Anyways, the season as always is hilarious and is worth the purchase, I just wish we could've had a censored or a choice on changing audio on the disc.

South Park is my favorite show and I watch the season DVDs over and over. Just when it seems SP has reached its peak, it keeps coming up with creative shows that cover the latest fads in our popular culture and sociopolitical consciousness. Although "Make Love Not Warfare" from season 10 is still my favorite episode, season 11 provides another solid crop of classics, from the openings of "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson" and "D-Yikes" to the conclusions of "Imaginationland, Episode III" and "The Night of the Living Homeless."

Disc 1:
"With Apologies to Jesse Jackson"--Who can ever forget Randy Marsh's faux pas on "Wheel of Fortune," the way he apologized to Jesse "the emperor of black people" Jackson, and his fight to ban a hateful slur from society with the help of Michael Richards and Mark Fuhrman? Meanwhile, a midget author who speaks at the school provides amusement for Cartman and an epiphany for Stan. Instant classic.
"Cartman Sucks"--There are several peculiar incidences in this season that put into question Cartman's sexuality. This episode is one of them. Cartman takes a picture with a certain body part of a sleeping Butters in his mouth. When Cartman learns what such a photo means, he tries to take another photo with Butters to reverse it, but Butters's dad walks in on them and sends his son to bi-curious camp. Of course, SP fans know Butters's dad has some bi-curious issues of his own. Meanwhile, Cartman must make sure the offensive photos does not get out.
"Lice Capades"--It is revealed that someone in Mrs. Garrison's class has head lice and the students turn vicious with suspicion. Of course, SP can't just scratch the surface; if you will, it needs to dig deeper by covering a louse community destroyed by the shampoo treatment. A lot of movie references in this one.
"The Snuke"--A new student arrives in class who is a Muslim and immediately sparks Cartman's suspicions. Turns out there is a terrorist attack planned, but not by Muslims--and it involves Hillary Clinton's unmentionable. Clinton's voice makes her sound like a down home southern gal, not a Senator from New York. I like how so much information can be found on the Internet and the blinking 12:00 on the "24" clock after the power goes out.
"Fantastic Easter Special"--Stan questions what easter eggs and bunnies have to do with Christ's resurrection and learns about the secret "Hare Club For Men" (where do they come up with this stuff?) A Da Vinci Code style mystery is unveiled and Matt and Trey get back at the head of the American Catholic League who had been critical of SP and said some anti-Semitic things in the past. Hmmmm, the papal mitre does look like it belongs on a rabbit. "Hippitus, hoppitus," indeed.

Disc 2:
"D-Yikes"--I love the opening to this one! I remember when it was first aired I struggled to stop laughing after Mrs. Garrison storms into the classroom complaining about men. This episode is one of the funniest SPs ever. I like when Garrison announces she's gay and Stan replies, "Again?" And the name of the lesbian bar is great! I've never seen the movie "300," but it's a takeoff on that.
"The Night Of The Living Homeless"--SP is suddenly overrun with homeless people begging for change. When the boys learn to mystery behind the onslaught of beggars, can they, with the help of some old school NWA & The Posse 8-Ball "City of Compton" style rap, save the day?
Le Petit Tourette"--Cartman sees a kid cussing uncontrollably in a toy store and learns that the kid has Tourette's Syndrome (is this a subject right up SP's alley, or what?!). Cartman is given an idea that makes him so happy he breaks out in song. Of course, his plan backfires when he starts blurting out things that, to him, are more damaging and offensive than "%#@& #$!!*() #%!($#@@&/."
"More Crap"--Randy Marsh passes a world record size BM. when his record is broken, his life's quest is to get it back--but Bono is bound (if you will) to stop him. I actually agree with the point they make about Bono, but this episode has a very nasty part--and I'm not talking about the BMs.

Disc 3:
"Imaginationland"--OK, the bet Cartman made with Kyle is hilarious. I laughed to tears when I first saw it on TV, but what does it say about Cartman's sexuality? Is that a prize a straight guy would want? I mean, another guy performing the task? What's up with that? Anyway, the boys go on a trip to a land of imaginary characters--including my favorite, Pac-Man, though I don't like that he's sometimes given teeth--and it's hit with a terrorist attack. Yes, terrorists have now attacked our imaginations. Meanwhile, Cartman takes Kyle to court and Stan and Kyle are taken to the Pentagon for questioning.
"Imaginationland, Episode II"--That opening dream sequence is from Monty Python. The terrorists break down a wall and unleash the evil characters of our imagination and now imaginations are really running wild, especially when Cartman's demented Christmas woodland critters show up. Stan and Kyle help the feds break through the portal to Imaginationland but, just before the troops charge in, Kyle may finally have to pay his debt to Cartman.
"Imaginationland, Episode III"--With the help of Butters, the good imaginary characters set out to battle the evil ones. Kyle has to stop the Pentagon from destroying Imaginationland before the good characters have a chance to win. Al Gore, however, might doom everyone when he sees the evil character from his imagination. Oh, and the Cartman/Kyle bet finally gets settled...sort of.
"Guitar Queer-o"--Great! In typical SP fashion, the importance of Guitar Hero is built up all out of proportion. This episode shows how Matt and Trey keep up with the fads of pop culture. I also like this episode because I'm a Kansas fan.
"The List"--There's a list the girls created ranking the boys in their class from cutest to ugliest and Kyle is ranked last. That can't be right! Kyle is adorable! Something must be wrong!

Matt and Trey continue to get better. With Season 11 of South Park, they prove they're one of those rare talents that can improve upon a program as it gets older, instead of going down hill, like countless other television shows. For example, "More Crap" is quintessential South Park humor. There's a lot to like here, so if you've been away from the show for a while, pick up this DVD set and see what you've been missing. I can't recommend it enough.
Also recommended is the uncut version of South Park - Imaginationland. You get footage not seen in the television airing, plus Matt and Trey's longest audio commentary to date, which is highly entertaining in and of itself!
