'South Park' 200th episode review: Muhammad, Tom Cruise, and Cartman's daddy issues

It sounds simple, by South Park standards: The 200th episode was about a class-action lawsuit by 200 celebrities defamed by the show — er, the Read the full post.

    I’m sure we’ll see another Terrance & Phillip episode next week, I blame Canada! P.S. I sure hope so, I miss those crazy Canadians!

    The ripping on Tim Burton was priceless. and so true.

      i myself had been thinking similar thoughts about TB.

    Great episode overall. I nearly lost it over the ginger fundamentalists. And having Mitch Connors come back was awesome. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for next week.

    Awesome episode! South Park has always been genius, I honestly think it’s the most consistently funny, brilliantly satirical TV show ever.

    BTW, being a diehard fan I agree, I’m a little worried about the next episode. Will the story continue? When will it air? Will they screw with us again like way back when? I will be shocked if they don’t ;)

    I vote that from here on out Muhammed always be depicted to as a Bears Mascot with goofy face!! :)

    agree with Carlos. Its the same theme they’ve hit on in the past. I believe when Isaac Hayes left the show they said something like, “he was ok when we made fun of every religion but his own.” I’m glad they returned to the exempt-from-criticism muhammed. I would also think the revelation of chef having been cartman’s father would be funny, even if predictable. I was sorry when Hayes died because it closed the door on any future reconciliation with the show. They can never truly do a vader redemption with his voice now.

      Mighty ufsuel. Make no mistake, I appreciate it.

    Bob, as a newcomer, you probably don’t know that Southpark is not respectful of ANY religion, or at least, it shouldn’t be. Priests walk around with little boys on leashes, Jesus has done some bad things to a US flag and then Pres. Bush, killed people, etc. The theme song for the Joesph Smith episode was ‘Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.’ Budda was sniffing coke last night for peeps sake! That’s the whole point of the episode, the creators are showing the INCREDIBLE hypocracy surrounding islam/mohammed in a culture built around free speech/free expression. However, that’s limited now due to ‘fear’ that ‘something’ might happen.

    Overall, incredible episode… I was rolling on the floor with the line ‘Release the Kiken!’

      Good point, Em. God damn, I love this show! An equal opportunity offender!

        There’s nothing like the relief of finding what you’re looinkg for.

    This episode was hilarious. I agree with the other poster who said the show got better with each old episode they referenced. I hope they bring back Robert Smith and Sidney Poitier to battle Mecha Bar-bu-ra again. It would also be cool if we cold see those aliens and cows from one of the very fist episodes, along with big, gay, Al.

    • John Lawson

      And Sidney Poitier too!
      DISINTEGRATION IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER!!

      • John Lawson

        whoops, meant to say Leonard Maltin

  • Ronnie Rizzo

    Probably a 2 parter with a Terrance and Phillip special to start off next season… lol

  • Mat

    the episode was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I think Garrison id Cartman’s dad….. or MR.Hat or Chef!

  • Sully

    You nailed it Carlos…

  • tom

    Is it wrong to think they’ll have Muhammed be Cartman’s dad and Cartman be his spitting image?

    • c

      Oh that’s good.

      • tom

        It would be a fantastically snarky way to get around the ‘can’t show Muhammed’s face’ conundrum.

    • Tim

      I would love that.

  • D

    As far as Cartman’s father goes…
    Have you considered ALL of the possibilities?

    What a great episode!! I loved everything about it, even the cliff hanger. You know they won’t answer anything they’ll just move on to the next topic. That would be the “South Park” way to do it!
    They are so on point with everything they try and say, people take things to seriously!!

  • antmansdad

    i thought cartmans mom was his father they already had an episode on it
