Episode 12: Here Comes the Neigbourhood
I don't know about this one. I kinda like it, but it's again one of those pretty retarded episodes. I mean, they burn "lowecase t" for "time to leave" and "richers" get it. Ok.. It's kind of sweet episode. I especially love Aslam and the rest of the lions. It's again so random and ridiculous that it's great. The other rich kids are just annoying and the boys are just background characters as this episode focuses on Token, which is a bit lame, but still nice variation from standard episode. All in all, it's enjoyable episode and I'll going to rate it 5/10.
Episode 13: Kenny Dies
This is a great episode. It has to be, really, since one of the main character's dies "permanently". Therefore this episode had to be something special and it is. It's so overhelmingly emotional, that you don't know whether to cry with them or laugh at them - and also it's nice contrast to their normal indifference for Kenny's deaths. That really shows you that this is different from the earlier deaths. Also seeing Cartman getting all emotional is ridiculous. Then there's the great dialogue with doctor, where the music plays, and everything is said twice. "Give 'em hell. Give 'em hell." Before that there's also the Cartman's "You're breaking my balls" routine, and seeing Butters do it is also funny as shit. Great stuff. In fact, I like this so much, that I'm going to rise it up to the #1. It gets 9/10, first time in this series. It's close, but at the moment I think that this is better than all of the episodes rated 8.
Episode 14: Butters' Very Own Episode
Like I've said, I'm not that big fan of episodes, where the boys are just background characters. In fact, in this episode you're only see them briefly at the end of the episode. But yeah it's Butters' own episode like title stated and it's pretty fucked up stuff. For me it's a bit of a failure, I don't find most stuff, funny, I mean that gay stuff and Butters' mom getting insane, it just too disturbed. I don't know. Butters is oblivious to all this and in the end when he gets to realise what has been going on is good moment though. End is satisfying in other ways too. So the ending pretty much makes it for this episode and I'll rate it barely 3/10.
And it brings Season Five to a close. It averaged 4,43 and loses tightly to fourth seasons 4,47. Season five was a solid season, which had few peak episodes, but not enough consistency in terms of the episode quality to really beat season four. We'll see what Season Six will bring us in forthcoming reviews.
Hall of fame so far:
Season Four 4,47
Season Five 4,43
Season Three 4,12
Season One 3,92
Season Two 3,33

Another Bit of Season Five (Episodes 8-10)
Episode 8: Towelie
I love Towelie. It's really so bad character that it's great. I love it especially when it gets high. I wonder if that merchandise is really available that appeared in the "commercial" in the middle of the episode. It's not bad episode, there's some really great jokes thrown in the mix. The plot is ridiculous really and now I felt a bit like the boys watching this episode, I didn't care. I just wanted to see Towelie getting high. It all ends well and Towelie doesn't know what's going on.. Wow, this is the worst review ever. I am going to rate it 5/10. I feel bit like Towelie right now.
Episode 9: Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants
This is a decent episode also. It's the immediate - only 8 weeks or so - reaction to 9/11. It has some good points like why send one dollar if you're going to bomb the place down and good deal of self-critique. It's funny to see Afghanistan versions of the boys, great idea. Also the Bugs Bunny -style ending is great, it's goofy but it works. Overall it isn't a real classic but still solid episode. It isn't bombing good jokes, but it takes a point on matters. 4/10 is enough I think.
Episode 10: How to Eat With Your Butt
This episode is appalling. I don't even want to talk about those buttheaded people. All I'm going to say is that it's terrible, too disgusting to laugh. I mean it's not that graphic obviously, but still. So I don't care for the main plot of this episode too much, but Cartman's endless laughter at his own jokes at the beginning almost makes you laugh at the Kenny's ass photo. It has some other decent jokes too, like Butters and his faces. So all in all it's not that bad, but I really don't like it either. I'll rate it 2/10.
Episode 11: The Entity
So in this episode Kyle's cousin Kyle comes to visit.. Wait a minute, Kyle? What, did they run out of names? That's nitpicking, though. The other Kyle is extremely (and negatively) stereotyped jew. He's just really frushtrating character, but kind of great at the same time. You'll still be glad to see him go. The other, more prominent plot of this episode revolves around airports and Garrison's fight against them. The "it" is just crazy vehicle, but well, it beats the airports. Some good points there and this is fairly funny episode too. It also ends bluntly, in a good way. I'll rate this 5/10.

A Bit of Season Five (Episodes 5-7)
Episode 5: Terrance & Phillip: Behind the Blow
I've never been a big fan of Terrance & Phillip episodes, but this is still fair episode. After all it has Stan and co. in it so it's not all Terrance & Phillip again. Besides the "Behing the Blow" -thing is kind of interesting. I find it much better than the Earth day -subplot which feels kinda lame. At least the Shakespeare -scene is ridiculous. Nothing too memorable going on but still a decent episode. I rate this episode too 3/10.
Episode 6: Cartmanland
I didn't even remember how great episode this was. I mean I remembered obviously what happens, but not how well it's made. Cartman's nature is portrayed once again well in this episode. Although it's a bit disorienting that he loses it all in the end, but I guess there had to be a way to get everything back to normal, so whatever. Kyle's battle with his faith is just great stuff. And Cartman's reaction when he hears that he has inherited the million dollars.. Classic. It's one of the better episodes, I'll rate it 7/10.
Episode 7: Proper Condom Use
This episode is just nasty. First of all kids beating off dogs, Cartman's condom that's full of pee, everything related to Mr. Mackey and Ms. Choksondik. That's disgusting. But it's still overall a great episode. What makes this episode for me is the final warning from Butters ripped straight off of Mad Max 2. Fuckin' hilarious. But I'm not going to talk about it more, that's pretty much it for this episode. I'll rate it 6/10.
A bit lame reviews this time. Let's see if I make better ones in the future posts, that's it for now.

Season Five Kickstart! (Episodes 1-4)
Fifth season ready to be reviewed next in this minireview style.
Episode 1: Scott Tenorman Must Die
Well, this is very defining episode for Cartman. I'm in a loss of words. Originally I didn't like it since it just goes so far on the ending. Storyline is ok and the episode is fair, but the ending is really what makes all the difference. Not necessarily good difference, but it's just so disturbing that Cartman is such an evil genious that.. fuck. The whole situation in the ending is absurd, but you don't feel like laughing since you're so shocked. There's really more to this episode than the ending, but it's just so fucked up that it's pretty much the only thing you'll remember or think about. Really hard episode to rate, since it's so prominent and memorable episode, but really not that good. I'll rate it 4/10.
Revision: I don't know really. This is just so classic episode and it takes multiple reviews surprisingly well, in fact it seems to get better. Besides, I think there are worse episodes in the 5/10 rating, so I might as well notch it up to it too.
Episode 2: It Hits the Fan
This is one of those episodes that I don't remember what's it about when I see the title. There's good reason for that too, because it is rather forgettable episode overall. Of course they say shit 162 and all that and the Geldon's voice is ridiculous, but that's about it. It's not the worst episode, but rather uninteresting, so let's go on. I rate this 2/10.
Episode 3: Cripple Fight!
The fifth season goes on a bit slowly. This is at least fairly memorable episode, if nothing else. The title pretty much says what's this episode is all about, even though there's the background of gay rights in the episode. But yeah the fight.. It's nothing special, entertaining the watch, but you're not looking for that kind of stuff in South Park. There are some fine jokes, like Cartman going around announcing about cripple fight and Timmy's nice photoshop to get rid of Jimmy. I'll rate this 3/10.
Episode 4: The Super Best Friends
What about this.. Well at least it sprouted some controversy when the episode aired like so many of South Park episodes, since it shows not only Jesus, but Muhammad, Joseph Smith, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Buddha and Moses. There's many flat out weird things in this episode, like Blaine's talking style and the end fight. I mean what the fuck, giant stone Abraham Lincoln vs. giant stone John Wilkes Booth? It's again little too absurd for me. But it's not that bad episode really although there's some wtf factor in it. I'll rate this 3/10 too.
I think that's plenty for today.
