DVD South Park - The Complete Third Season
The third time's the, for want of a better word, charm for South Park on DVD. Instead of mere episode intros as on the first two boxed sets, Trey Parker and Matt Stone finally oblige us with actual episode commentary, or, as they call it, "commentary-mini." On this optional audio track, Trey and Matt goof for about five minutes or so at the top of each episode, certifying some as favorites ("Tweek vs. Craig," "Jewbilee," and "Worldwide Recorder Concert," which is described as "a reverse after-school special from hell"), championing others popularly dismissed by South Park's otherwise loyal fans ("Jakovasaurs," "Sexual Harassment Panda"), and provocatively dismissing all of season 2.
The third season was frantically produced simultaneously with the feature film, South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. This was the season, Trey proclaims, "where South Park turned the corner... and became good (as far as we were concerned)." Among their most inspired conceits is the so-called "Meteor Shower Party" trilogy, three episodes that unfold over the course of one night, each focusing on a different kid. "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" pays homage to Hanna-Barbera-style animation and Scooby-Doo, recasting Korn as the Mystery Inc gang. "Rainforest Shmainforest," featuring a game Jennifer Aniston, cuts rainforest crusaders down to size. "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" takes its irreverent cue from the album of the same name, and contains an outrageously obscure reference to the 1978 made-for-TV Star Wars Holiday Special. Throughout the season, South Park is, as usual, a gleeful equal-opportunity offender, but the show's true gonzo spirit is truly illustrated in such surreal touches as the employment of live action in "Tweek vs. Craig," the singing of "The Morning After" backwards to save Chef from the spell of "The Succubus," and the Seinfeld-worthy argument over whether the term should be "pirate ghosts" or "ghost pirates" in "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery." --Donald Liebenson
Review(s): DVD South Park - The Complete Third Season
Penis so small!
The 3rd season definitly has it's moments but it's another great season. unfortunately, it was also the last season to have Mary Kay Bergman (the person who played all of the women in South Park.) because later in 1999, she killed herself. when you watch any of the episodes on the 3rd disc, excluding Mr. Hankey's Christmas Special, you notice that the women of South Park don't speak a word. This also has the infamous Chinpokomon (Chinpoko means Penis) is in this season.
Great Lessons From South Park
I just started watching south park about 3 months ago, and like the simpsons, family guy, and futurama, i just couldnt get enough. I watched every single episode, and i bought all of the DVDs. Im reviewing this one because its one of my favorite seasons. Everyone can learn valuable lessons from south park, especially from this season. Such important lessons are: pandas make crappy sexual harassment teachers, god is a deformed squirrel, lizard, monkey thing, if Cartman had led the South in the Civil War, slavery would still be legal(especially for Stan and Kyle, because I hate those guys, just kidding) and all of those activists who protest the cutting of the rainforests can F--- themselves. After all, most of them have never been there. And finally, cats are really turned on by nature videos.
So enjoy this quality season of South Park.
Another funny season!
The third season was funny! Out of the stories I liked: Rainforest Shaminforest, Tweek vs. Craig, Cat Orgy, Two guys naked in a tub, Jewbilee, Starvin Marvin in space, the Red Badge of Gayness and Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics the best.
Rainforest Shmainforest: Jennifer Aniston took part in this episode and did a good job as the leader of the Save the Rainforest group "Getting Gay with Kids" They head to Costa Rica and get lost in the rainforest during a tour their guide gets eaten by a snake. Cartman of course goes about trying to beat all animals with a stick and Kyle learns as a Jew his has no rhythm! Watch the performances of the choir. His dancing is off! There is a joke with a reference to the cheerleader outfit from friends.
Spontaneous Combustion: People are spontaneously combusting and it's up to Stan's Dad to figure out why. He wins the Nobel award for his discovery. However, sometimes the cure is worst then the disease! There is a second story where the boys crucify Cartman so he can have a resurrection in order to help Kyle's father get an erection.
The Succubus: Chef is in love and wants to get married! Only a demon from hell could accomplish this feat. How will the boys defeat her? There is a side story with Carman having eye problems and has to visit an insulting doctor. "How is my little piggy today?" It's a funny story. Especially when Cartman's eyes are dilated!
Tweek vs. Craig: This was a funny episode! Tweek and Craig are tricked into a knock down battle royal to see who would win the fight.
Jackovasaurs: In the tradition of Jar-Jar, the boys discover a forgotten ancient race of creatures. What started as amazing turns out to be annoying! To make matters worst, Cartman is deputized to take care of them. Of course the government people fled town!
Sexual Harassment Panda: It is time to learn about Sexual Harassment. Who better to teach then a man in a Panda suit? Soon, everybody is suing everybody over sexual harassment.
Cat Orgy: Cartman gets a babysitter while his mom gets off to a Meteor Shower party. Cartman meets his match when Shelly enters the house. He quickly learns to respect her authority! He decides to take his revenge with Shelly's 22 year old boyfriend appears (she is 12). While this goes on, the cat goes out and parties rather heavily. You get to see many things like cats doing lines of catnip!
Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub: Continuing the side stories from Cat Orgy, we switch to Stan who is dragged to the Meteor party and is locked downstairs with three nerdos(butters, Pip, and Dougie). Butters finds a crate of women's cloths (why does Mr. Mackey have them?) and they decide to play Charlies Angels. Stan puts them to work to figure out a way to escape their prison. While this goes on Stan and Kyle's dad share a moment and Stan's dad is embarrassed and tries to avoid Kyle's dad almost like they were a couple. While this goes on the ATF appears as they think the party is a cult determined to commit suicide. They deal with the situation as they did in Waco.
Jewbilee: Continuing the side stories from Cat Orgy, Kyle invites Kenny on a trip with his Jew scout trip to a camp. Kyle's brother has to stay with the squirts and their leader attempts to get his chutzpah badge and tangles with a bear who keeps taking squirts. While in the camp, the council of leaders prepares for the coming of Moses. They meet the leader of the Jewish branch of anti-Semites who has a plan to bring back Haman. Kenny and Kyle to the rescue!
Chinpokomon: A new fad involving toys from Japan. Of course Kyle can't keep up with the fad. The toys start brainwashing all children to defeat the evil power which involves attacking Pearl Harbor. Wait till you see how the Japanese leaders deal with the concerns of the parents when they are found out! The parents save the day with this story with a tried and true way of parenting!
Starvin Marvin in Space: Starvin Marvin is back and discovers a space ship from Marklark. Marvins enlists the aid of the boys to help his people escape the missionaries. The government wants the ship and works with the Hut Sally Struthers to stop them. Pat Robertson and the 600 club also want to bring the word of God to the marklark
Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery: This was an ok little story that has the band Korn appear and deal with a Scooby-Doo mystery spoof. I never noticed the docks in South Park. ;)
Hooked on Monkey Phonics: Cartman is going to enter the spelling bee. His mom buys the Hooked on Monkey Phonics package to help him spell. A capuchin monkey plays the drums for him. At the contest two home schooled kids appear and even though Kyle was expected to win("You always bet on the Jew"), the two kids win. Kyle falls in love and the others want to duct tape the boy and his father to benches.
The Red Badge of Gayness: It's civil war re-enactment day. The boys are practicing their drum and flutes playing as they prepare to march with the Union. Cartman keeps messing up as he explains you have to beat the drum into submission. He breaks the drum and decides to join the South. A bet happens and Cartman decides to conquer the North and free the confederate states. His army swells as people get drunk on S'mores schnapps. He eventually decides to march on Washington. Memerable line: We sent the word for help and the entire state of South Carolina came"
Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics: This was a funny collection of South Park Christmas songs. I kind of liked "It's Christmas time in Hell" which features noted people like Hitler and Jimmy Stewart (runs by screaming Merry Christmas movie house!).
Are you there God? It's Me, Jesus: Nobody cares about Jesus anymore. This changes with the millennium. People are interested and he decides to hold a concert and tries to get dad to make an appearance. Cartman thinks he is growing up as he gets his period (he bleeds out his bum). It happens to Kenny. Kyle and Stan feel left out. Kyle decides to lie about it and Stan tries to figure out why it isn't happening to him. How to help? Chef and Doctor Mephesto.
World Wide Recorder Concert: The class is going to a 4 million recorder event to play "my country tis of thee" It's funny to watch Mr. Garrison trying to teach them. The boys run into some kids from New York who insults them to no end. They decide to get their revenge using the brown note. A note that causes people loose control of their bowels. There is a side story with Mr. Garrison where he has to come to grips with why his father (from Arkansas) didn't abuse him as a child.
There are commentaries but I didn't listen to them. Someday I will get around to it.

In the episode "Chef Goes Nanners," Cartman is left standing alone in the snow after Wendy blithely proclaims her improbable attraction for him to has suddenly vanished. Cartman heaves a heavy sigh, and exits Chaplinesque stage right. But any concerns that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had gone soft, or that Cartman would undergo a more sympathetic, Louie De Palma-like makeover are abated in nearly every other episode of South Park's pivotal fourth season. From the "downright immature" trashing of Phil Collins (whose "You'll Be in My Heart" from Tarzan had emerged victorious Oscar night over Parker and Stone's "Blame Canada") to an episode in which Cartman becomes the unwitting poster child for NAMBLA, South Park gave its viewers much shock...

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,...

South Park exploded on the pop culture landscape like a dirty bomb in 1997, and the 13 episodes that comprise the groundbreaking first season have lost none of their subversive impact. If Seinfeld was a show about nothing, then South Park is a show about everything, from important moral lessons in compassion and tolerance to good old-fashioned animated character assassination (Kathie Lee Gifford in "Weight Gain 4000" and Barbra Streisand in "Mecha-Streisand"). Like an After School Special gone quite mad, profanity-spewing third-graders Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and the ill-fated Kenny navigate childhood in their mountain town. Nothing in South Park is sacred, and each episode has something to offend, from "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride" (featuring George...

Comedy, Lenny Bruce once said, is tragedy plus time. Less than two months--hardly any time at all--had elapsed after September 11 when South Park broadcast an episode that addressed the tragedy. Wit and satire have their place, of course, but in the aftermath of epochal upheaval, sometimes good old-fashioned ridicule can diminish an enemy and help to heal a grieving nation. The Emmy-nominated episode "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants" does the cathartic trick, as Cartman plays Bugs Bunny to Osama's Elmer Fudd with a series of humiliating pranks, one of which reveals Osama's miniscule Bin Laden. "This is how we deal with stuff," creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone remark during the "commentary-mini," a listening option on each episode. In this fifth season, "It Hits the Fan," to...

First thing, WHO said "Jarred Has Aides" wasn't a great episode? In fact I believe it to be one of the FUNNIEST of its particular season. Although, this season which has some fantastic episodes the subsequent 2 seasons are EVEN stronger, but this is a great followup to season 5.. with only a few.. well no real flat out duds, there's always SOMETHING in there.. but it doesn't quite stack up to the seasons around it.
Still.. Free Hat, Red Hot Catholic Love, Jarred has Aidea, The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers were some of the FUNNIEST episodes of the series.. and are easily in the top 25, the show reached its 100th episode in the 8th season with "I'm a Little Bit Country".
