Episode 4: The Passion of The Jew
There's good moments in this too, like Cartman praying to Mel Gibson and the point where Kyle comes to admit to Cartman that he's been right all along. But what the hell has Mel Gibson ever done to Trey & Matt? It's just one of those things again that is way too crazy. At least Mel Gibson looks funny with those changing expressions. But there wasn't all that much of funny shit in this episode. Cartman has been Hitler earlier so there's really nothing new. I'll rate it 3/10.
Episode 5: You Got F*d In The A
I guess this is a bit better that the few episodes prior to it, but I'm not still that big fan of this. It's just that the dancing as a subject isn't really interesting to me.. But anyway, this is still a decent one. I don't know what's going on since everything knows all this getting served stuff. It's nice to see again goth kids and raisins girls, and it was interesting to see the putting together of the dancing crew. Butters reveals his new side and of course wins the competition for South Park with his lethal tap dancing. It's decent though once again there's not all of the boys in the highlight. Oh and I have to say that "I've got something in my front pocket for you" is hilarious. But anyways this episode gets the rating of 4/10.
Episode 6: Goobacks
This isn't exactly classic either. These are not bad episodes, but after getting used to such high standard in last couple of seasons it's a bit letdown. The funniest thing in this episode is "they got our jobs!" Most of it though is just trying to make a point about immigration and all that shit. The ending is kind of funny though. But I'm more disgusted than amused about that pile of gay men. But yeah all that enviromentalism and trying to make a better future really is more gay than having sex with dozens of other men.. What? It's barely 3/10 for this one.
Such a low standard that I don't even feel like watching more.

Season Eight Starter (Episodes 1-3)
Episode 1: Good Times With Weapons
This is a great episode. It gets a little negative vibe after Butters gets his eye hit with shuriken, but prior to that and bit after that it's just great stuff. What I mean is that you feel the trouble boys are gonna get and Butters get way worse treatment than he deserves in this episode. This episode is great parody of anime. I don't like anime, but this episode is the shit. It could just have been episode of any anime shit, since that's how ridiculous that is. The song is awesome. Let's fighting love. What the fuck man. Still, the ending is bit unsatisfying and I felt bad for Butters, that's why only 6/10.
Episode 2: AWESOM-O
I don't know which frushtrates me more, Cartman being such an asshole for Butters or Butters being so incredibly stupid. So I'm not that big of a fan of these kind of episodes. It has some decent Adam Sandler -parody and scifi references, but that's pretty much it. I didn't find the rest of the episode that funny. I'll rate it 2/10.
Revision: I don't know, I think I was a bit harsh on this episode originally. I mean, some people think of this as a classic and even though I don't find it as entertaining as most, it still clearly stands out from the rest of the episodes that have such low ratings. I raise this to 4/10.
Episode 3: Up the Down Steroid
I don't know about this episode. It's kind of decent, although once again it's not all the boys in the spotlight, it's more of an Timmy & Jimmy episode, although there's Cartman and Kyle having a go at each other partly too. Cartman competing in the special olympics? Who expected him to win anyway? Cartman is really starting to piss me off in these newer episodes. Jimmy taking steroids -plot is clearly ripped of from somewhere and most of the time that's enough to make it funny, but I didn't find this one that funny. Although the "were you masturbating?" question is kind of hilarious. It's a bit better than previous episode, so 3/10 is in order.

Season Seven - Last Three (Episodes 13-15)
Episode 13: Butt Out
Oh my god. The Butt Out representation is so ankward that it really makes you feel like smoking. I can't blame the boys, it was hideous. It just goes on and on.. It's funny now that we're on seventh season and Kyle starts to anticipate what's going to happen. He guesses everything right obviously, but they won't listen to him. I kinda like the point this episode is making about smoking. I mean, I used to be one little Rob Reiner myself, telling my smoking friends that that's lame. But now, fuck it. Not too funny of an episode, but still decent. I'll rate it 4/10.
Episode 14: Raisins
This is a great episode. It introduces some new characters (Raisins girls, goth kids), includes a major long run plot deveploment (Wendy breaking up with Stan) and has very satisfying ending. Also it has cunt said in it. That's always a bonus. Raisins girls are disturbingly hot for a South Park characters (what's wrong with me?!). Goth kids are such a great characters, it's not wonder that we see them later more. Wendy breaking up with Stan was kind of disorienting, since they've been together for seven seasons. Well it has gotten a bit of background thing for few seasons, but still. But the ending is still satisfying as all hell, I mean that's how I felt for her after dumping Stan for Token. Alright, I'll rate it 8/10.
Episode 15: It's Christmas in Canada
Oh, not this. This is a bit frushtrating episode. Seen this couple times and it really doesn't take multiple views that well. What makes this worthwhile though is the Cartman crying in the end after Kyle hits him. Other than that, it's bit of a borefest. For me at least. I mean it's not that bad, not just for my taste. Too much singing and Canada frushtrates me. I'll rate it 3/10 anyway.
That's it with Season Seven. It averaged 4,27. It was bit worse than couple of previous seasons, but still decent. Though most of it's episodes were bit substandard, some highs saved it.
Official standings, corrected after mistakes in my spreadsheet:
Season Six 5,29
Season Four 4,82
Season Five 4,43
Season Seven 4,27
Season Three 4,18
Season One 3,92
Season Two 3,39
Well continue to eight season in next post. Looking at the episode name list, it doesn't seem particularly outstanding, but solid season with good episodes.

Season Seven - Beginning of an End (Episodes 10-12
Episode 10: Grey Dawn
This is a fine episode. To be honest I didn't find this that funny, but it makes a ton of references to other movies which makes it interesting to watch. The scene where the old people hit the roads at the same time is probably the episode's highlight, though I like the part where Cartman tells about his plans to take out old people. It has some subtance again in form of message, but I don't have much else to say about this. I'll rate it 3/10 and we'll move on.
Episode 11: Casa Bonita
Cartman and Kyle had always had some rivalry between them, but in this episode I notice that it's starting to get more vicious and not-too-friendly. It's really a process that happens during these newer seasons and I find it a bit disorienting. But this is still a decent episode. Cartman's plan seems bad to me since at any case he is not going to get away with it. But I guess only thing he cares about is to get to Casa Bonita, not what happens after that. Butters telling the woman that he's ready to repopulate the Earth makes me cringe. I don't know, this is kind of funny episode, but there's too much shit that I don't like. I rate it 3/10 anyway.
Episode 12: All About Mormons
Again the boys are a bit of a background characters in this episode, Stan is the main character as he gets to know this new mormon family. Most of the time you're just like Stan watching and thinking "what the fuck is going on?" There's not that much of a funny shit going on, since the mormons are disturbingly kind and all that shit. What this episode does have though is some substance and it has a point. Also it's nice to see what mormons actually believe (WTF?). The ending is great too. Suck my balls. 5/10 for this one.
Would like to go on, but once again I don't have to do it. The last three episodes of season seven in next post.

Season Seven I can't come up with anything (Episodes 5-9)
Episode 5: Fat Butt and Pancake Head
What the fuck did I just watch? This episode is fucked up beyond believe and I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad one. I honestly have to say that I laughed aloud to this episode. I don't do that a lot. Some stuff is disgusting at the same time that it's funny, like when Affleck licks Cartman's hand and then Cartman jacks him off. The songs are great. The ending is amazing too. It seems that this episode has everything going for it, it's just so absurd that I don't know what to think. Fuck it, I'll just rate it 6/10.
Episode 6: Lil' Crime Stoppers
This is actually very good episode. Not the most memorable one, but some good stuff in this too. Those CSI-style flashbacks are great and ridiculous. There's lot of other cliches used, but it's once again one of those episodes where boys are more of an bystanders. I mean they just stand there and the criminals kill themselves. Partly dissatisfying, but overall decent episode. I'll rate it 4/10.
Episode 7: Red Man's Greed
I don't know about this episode. It's really hard for me to relate any kind of native american stuff, since I'm not american. Besides I have lost painful amounts of money gambling so that's not cool to be reminded of that. The most frushtrating moment of this episode is when they win with their 10k and then bet everything in again. Then there's Alex, and we're like "who the fuck is that?" The in.. native american laughing style isn't funny to me, it's just annoying. So I didn't like this episode, I'll rate it 2/10.
Episode 8: South Park Is Gay!
I'm not that fond with this episode, but it's decent, I guess. The crabpeople thing is just insane. It's umm.. interesting to see gay versions of the characters, but all this Kyle left being an outcast is just like "been there, done that". Overall plot isn't that good, but it has some semi-good moments. I rate it 3/10, let's move on, next one is one of my all time favorites.
Episode 9: Christian Rock Hard
As I said, this is one of my all time favorites. It's the classic plot of Kyle and Cartman getting into a competition and Cartman obviously winning. And as always, it gets fucked up in the end. It's just great to see the process and the whole idea is sweet. But the best thing is obviously the songs. Wish I would heard the full songs, too bad there's not enough time to show them. The rest of the boys get into a strike against piracy. That's good subplot too and I agree to the point it is making, but I'm still against piracy. But I'm not here to talk about piracy. It's a great episode and I just have to give it 9/10. Only thing dropping it from perfection for me at least is the ending, which is anti-climatic. I mean as I've said I like Cartman. I don't like seeing him getting farted at by Butters.
That's enough for now.

Season Seven Starter (Episodes 1-4)
Episode 1 : Cancelled
There's a bit too much repetition in this episode to be a true classic, but it's still a decent one. It starts off exactly like the first episode of the show and I understand what they're doing to accomplish with it. It shows how the series have changed, but I still think it goes on a bit too long. Then there's the Cartman fart joke, which was decent (I mean bad) joke when you first saw it, but now repetition makes it boring. Jeff Goldblum -character is dumb, but the taco that shits ice cream is great. This episode is mostly about reality television and obviously there was more potential in this episode than it showed. But still, it's worth 3/10 rating.
Revision: Hell, I think this is definitely worth 4/10 rating. There was more potential maybe, but still, this is very memorable episode.
Episode 2: Krazy Kripples
I usually don't care much for episodes where the boys are not in the central role, but this episode is a pleasant exception. Though I don't really care for the Christopher Reeve stuff, pretty much only distantly funny thing in there is Larry King, who looks ridiculous. But the Timmy & Jimmy at the Crips is great stuff. Almost everything in that is at some level ridiculous, for example Jimmy's gangsta-talk and their clothes and all that. The ending is great too. I mean c'mon! But yeah that's it let's go on, 4/10 as a rating.
Episode 3: Toilet Paper
This is not the most original episode, but it's still good stuff. It has very much references to good movies, like Silence of Lambs, The Godfather and Scarface. Although you can hardly say references, some stuff is almost direct copying. But then again it's everything turned to South Park style so it makes it exciting. One joke that I like for some reason a lot is the scene where the boys buy toilet paper and the guy just starts "Toilet paper, toilet paper, toilet paper.." For some reason I find it so funny. Not a true classic, but very enjoyable episode. I rate it 4/10.
Episode 4: I'm A Little Bit Country
So this is the 100th episode. And good thing it came along, since my spreadsheet which keeps the records of my ratings and calculates the season averages only totaled 96. I had forgot to put some random episodes along the way which obviously messed the seasonal averages. It's nothing too signifigant though so I'll correct the averages I put earlier. But on to this episode, I don't know about this one. I think 100th would have deserved something better. It's decent, but nothing special. Just standard Cartman stuff trying to have flashback by the most ridiculous plans and as you know at this point those are obviously going to work. It's decent but like I said I would've hoped for something better. As for rating, 3/10 is enough.
Once again I've taken half day to made these reviews when I clearly don't have for this. Fuck me.

Season Six Sick Finisher (Episodes 12-17)
The Season Six has been good so far and eyeing some of the episode titles, it seems to stay good as well. So I'm eager to get on with it. Let's go!
Episode 12: A Ladder to Heaven
Where were you, when they started to build the ladder to heaven? Great song. No, it's terrible, but it's ridiculous. That's pretty much what's first thing in your mind after this episode. It's also good parody of the guy who made the 9/11 songs. That over-emotional stuff from everybody is the main joke of this episode and it's a good one. Also kind of getting Kenny back is cool, and in an intriguing way, by having him trapped inside Cartman's body. They really use up the Ladder to heaven -joke to the maximum in this episode, but it's good one, just a shame there really isn't much else. Except Cartman at the abortion clinic, that's kind of a good one. 5/10 is my rating for this.
Episode 13: The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers
Wow, didn't realise this were as early episode as sixth season. This is one of the most memorable episodes all time, since it's a Lord of the Rings -spoof and a good one. It all makes sense that porn is equivalent of the One Ring and Butters is Gollum etc. All the most memorable scenes of the movies are re-created in South Park setting. Also the score for this episode is ridiculous. The end is also great since the parents pretty much fuck everything up. It's very solid episode overall, just the fact that it makes you reflect the Lord of the Rings -movies strenghtens it's effect. An unique episode and I'll rate it 8/10.
Episode 14: The Death Camp of Tolerance
I don't know really what to think. What to think of Mr. Slave shoving a gerbil up his ass or the whole thing with Lemmiwinks journey's inside Mr. Slave's ass. That's just so fucked up that I don't know whether it's funny or disgusting. They grab some humor out the tolerance -thing though. The Schindler's List references were great too. But it's disgusting to think that Lemmiwinks is inside Mr. Slaves ass. But I kind of like Mr. Slave as a character. He's one-dimensional, but Jesus Christ. I'm so bad. I gotta stop this. I'll rate this 4/10.
Episode 15: The Biggest Douche in the Universe
I love the subject of this episode. I mean the psychics in general. They are douches. I've been into scepticism really much and it frushtrates me that some people actually believe in them. John Edwards gets the treatment he deserves in this episode. Very satisfying episode. The Rob Schneider stuff in this episode is some fun shit. Kenny's return is a little closer now that they get him out of Cartman also which is cool. So I like this episode and I'll rate it 6/10.
Episode 16: My Future Self 'N Me
Another solid episode, only one more left for this season. Some really nice jokes in this episode, like right at the beginning Jimmy telling he has done extacy. Hilarious. Another great moment is when Butters reveals his horrible secret of being Professor Chaos and Stan just says "You're gay? I'm okay with that." There's some other pretty good jokes and the plotside is decent too. Just some standard South Park stuff. Future Cartman is great way to end episode. Overall very steady episode and I'm going to rate it 6/10.
Episode 17: Red Sleigh Down
I've seen this episode more often than average, so it's starts to get a little dull for me. It also has a little boring start to it, but it gets great the nearer the end it gets. It transforms into more of an action movie and it has many references to those. When Jesus opens the closet in the church and it's filled with guns, you know that things are going to get awesome. And what's going with the facial expressions when the kinds get their presents? Jimmy's song was kind of funny when watching first time, but now it's just pain in the ass. An episode of two halves, but overall decentish. 4/10 and that's it.
So Season Six is over and what a season it was! It averaged whopping 5,29 and it sets the standard for the rest of the seasons. Now I just wonder are my rating criteria changing unintenionally or are these episodes really better.. Anyway, here's standings so far:
Season Six 5,29
Season Four 4,47
Season Five 4,43
Season Three 4,12
Season One 3,92
Season Two 3,33
Had a quick look at the episode list of Season Seven and to be honest, despite I've of course seen all of them, the titles don't say much for me. Only couple of episodes, which are really good. It might as well challenge Season Six, but we'll see. I would love to just keep watching them, but gotta do something else with my time too like I said in the last post. Also my review lack substance heavily.
Episode 12: A Ladder to Heaven
Where were you, when they started to build the ladder to heaven? Great song. No, it's terrible, but it's ridiculous. That's pretty much what's first thing in your mind after this episode. It's also good parody of the guy who made the 9/11 songs. That over-emotional stuff from everybody is the main joke of this episode and it's a good one. Also kind of getting Kenny back is cool, and in an intriguing way, by having him trapped inside Cartman's body. They really use up the Ladder to heaven -joke to the maximum in this episode, but it's good one, just a shame there really isn't much else. Except Cartman at the abortion clinic, that's kind of a good one. 5/10 is my rating for this.
Episode 13: The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers
Wow, didn't realise this were as early episode as sixth season. This is one of the most memorable episodes all time, since it's a Lord of the Rings -spoof and a good one. It all makes sense that porn is equivalent of the One Ring and Butters is Gollum etc. All the most memorable scenes of the movies are re-created in South Park setting. Also the score for this episode is ridiculous. The end is also great since the parents pretty much fuck everything up. It's very solid episode overall, just the fact that it makes you reflect the Lord of the Rings -movies strenghtens it's effect. An unique episode and I'll rate it 8/10.
Episode 14: The Death Camp of Tolerance
I don't know really what to think. What to think of Mr. Slave shoving a gerbil up his ass or the whole thing with Lemmiwinks journey's inside Mr. Slave's ass. That's just so fucked up that I don't know whether it's funny or disgusting. They grab some humor out the tolerance -thing though. The Schindler's List references were great too. But it's disgusting to think that Lemmiwinks is inside Mr. Slaves ass. But I kind of like Mr. Slave as a character. He's one-dimensional, but Jesus Christ. I'm so bad. I gotta stop this. I'll rate this 4/10.
Episode 15: The Biggest Douche in the Universe
I love the subject of this episode. I mean the psychics in general. They are douches. I've been into scepticism really much and it frushtrates me that some people actually believe in them. John Edwards gets the treatment he deserves in this episode. Very satisfying episode. The Rob Schneider stuff in this episode is some fun shit. Kenny's return is a little closer now that they get him out of Cartman also which is cool. So I like this episode and I'll rate it 6/10.
Episode 16: My Future Self 'N Me
Another solid episode, only one more left for this season. Some really nice jokes in this episode, like right at the beginning Jimmy telling he has done extacy. Hilarious. Another great moment is when Butters reveals his horrible secret of being Professor Chaos and Stan just says "You're gay? I'm okay with that." There's some other pretty good jokes and the plotside is decent too. Just some standard South Park stuff. Future Cartman is great way to end episode. Overall very steady episode and I'm going to rate it 6/10.
Episode 17: Red Sleigh Down
I've seen this episode more often than average, so it's starts to get a little dull for me. It also has a little boring start to it, but it gets great the nearer the end it gets. It transforms into more of an action movie and it has many references to those. When Jesus opens the closet in the church and it's filled with guns, you know that things are going to get awesome. And what's going with the facial expressions when the kinds get their presents? Jimmy's song was kind of funny when watching first time, but now it's just pain in the ass. An episode of two halves, but overall decentish. 4/10 and that's it.
So Season Six is over and what a season it was! It averaged whopping 5,29 and it sets the standard for the rest of the seasons. Now I just wonder are my rating criteria changing unintenionally or are these episodes really better.. Anyway, here's standings so far:
Season Six 5,29
Season Four 4,47
Season Five 4,43
Season Three 4,12
Season One 3,92
Season Two 3,33
Had a quick look at the episode list of Season Seven and to be honest, despite I've of course seen all of them, the titles don't say much for me. Only couple of episodes, which are really good. It might as well challenge Season Six, but we'll see. I would love to just keep watching them, but gotta do something else with my time too like I said in the last post. Also my review lack substance heavily.
