Season Two Continues (Episodes 4-7)

Episode 4: Ike's Wee Wee
Doing drugs is always funny. What is also funny is Mr.Mackey impressions from the boys, mmkay? Mkay. Mr. Mackey gets fired after passing up a marijuana sample to the class, and ends up doing all the stuff he was preaching against. As I said, it's when the things get funny. Mr. Mackey's tripping head floating by the boys is prime example of this. At the same time there's subplot about Ike's circumcision, but not much to say about it, expect for that this is the episode that Kyle finally learns the (obvious) truth - Ike's canadian. But in the end, it doesn't even matter. It rounds up to be quite a nice episode. I'll give it.. 5/10

Episode 5: Conjoined Fetus Lady
Well, that fetus is just disgusting. The dodgeball part in this episode was much more interesting and the fetus thingie just wasn't funny. When it comes to dodgeball, Pip really has it going on. At least when he's being called french. Pip singlehandedly leads South Park to world champions, but nobody gives a shit in the end. How suprising. All in all, this episode had it moments, but not as many as I would've like to seen. 2/10

Revision: I really underrated this episode. Yes, the fetus is appalling, but that doesn't really matter that much. After all, there's the great song made for mrs. Gollum etc. The conclusion after winning world championship is somewhat anti-climatic, yet funny. 4/10.

Episode 6: The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka
This episode was rather dull and for me, it falls in to the same category as Volcano. For some reason, episodes with Jimbo and Ned as a main driving force tend to be boring. There was couple of semi-good Vietnam-jokes, but nothing that special. 1/10

Revision: Now I can't relate to my own opinions at all. I made a really poor review overall anyway. This is actually ok episode with some pretty funny jokes, it's just that it's a bit a mess and things get out of hand. But still, there's the black man talking about Michael Jackson, and the Vietnam-jokes are AT LEAST semi-good. I give it 3/10 now.

Episode 7: City on the Edge of Forever
This is a reminiscing episode. Now we've seen every show on earth pretty much having one of these, but this is bit different from what we're used to - the memories are somewhat fucked up. Kids gets stuck in a bus after and accident, so they start to talk about memories of bad situations they were. As I said they don't remember everything correctly, Stan is constanly kissing Wendy and everything has something to do with ice cream - in the end we find out that this was after all just Stan dreaming about Cartman dreaming. Man that's confusing. It's pretty much recycling old jokes with a twist and it's all fine. I'll give it a rating of 3/10.
