Season Two Is Long (Episodes 14-16)

Episode 14: Chef-Aid
Well, what should I say.. It's once again one of those not too funny episodes, but I can't still say this sucked. It's interesting to hear about how Chef helped many artists in early days, there are couple of decent jokes thrown in there too. Chef is seemingly the most sane adult in South Park, yet he still thinks he could raise enough money by having sex with every woman in town. The record produced is shallow character, but you really start to hate him. I mean, he's so irritating and arrogant. You feel pleased when he loses the case in the end. The most famous joke in this episode is of course the Johnny Cochran's Chewbacca defence. What do I have to say about it.. Well, that does not make sense when you think about it.. 4/10.

Episode 15: Spooky Fish
It's the second Halloween-episode and I have to say it's golden. So many great moments here. Just the way it starts, Halloween episode couldn't start much better - some irrelevant alien gets ran over and then you see the scariest shit ever - nice Cartman. Besides, he looks ridiculous with that beard. So there's two Cartman which means twice as much fun - actually more than twice, since the good Cartman is so nice it makes you laugh even more than ordinary Cartman. Like when the boys haven't yet realized that there are two Cartmans and good Cartman (referred as evil Cartman in the episode) sings overly happy song about how good friends they are. I rarely laugh out loud, but this still made me do it. The spooky fish is really spooky and the episode manages at times to create the feeling that something's really fucked up. It's Hella good episode (have to use that one too) and I rate it.. 8/10.

Episode 16: Merry Christmas Charlie Manson
It's time for the Christmas-special and it pretty fucked up right there too. I said about the last episode that two Cartmans are twice as fun, and now you've got whole family of Cartmans. All the standard Cartman-traits are there and it works. But it's overall nothing nearly as good previous episode, but it's still fairly good. Who came up with the idea to link Christmas with Charlie Manson? I'll give this episode 5/10, pretty much because of the Cartmans..

So, leaves 2 episodes for the finisher. I'll probably make it tomorrow night.
