| #3 Posted on 22.10.03 0840.37 Reposted on: 22.10.10 0843.52 | South Park Studios, as usual, is your hookup:
Launching the second half of the seventh series, episode 708 entitled "South Park is gay!" has the whole town joining the hip new homosexual craze. Suddenly, it's cool to be gay! Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny go head to head with the other kids to see who can be the "gayest," while Mr. Garrison responds with, "If straight people are gonna steal our culture, then us REAL gays are just gonna have to step it up a notch!"
Later on in the season, the boys take on Rob Reiner and the anti-smoking hysteria and explore the issue of the elderly and their apparent vendetta against farmer's markets. | eviljonhunt81

That would be Towelie, a genetically-engineered towel that gets stoned at every opportunity.
No, none of that is a typo.

Butters had been around since the first or second season, just not as one of the main foursome. When Kenny died "for good," Stan, Kyle and Cartman held auditions to determine who'd fill his spot; Butters had the job for a while, then got kicked out for, well, being Butters. (Butters then flipped out and invented a supervillain alter ego with which to enact revenge, Professor Chaos, but that's another story.) Tweek was their next "substitute Kenny."
As for the real Kenny... Kenny's body was cremated, then consumed by Cartman (who thought that Kenny's ashes were chocolate-milk mix). Kenny's spirit possessed Cartman for an episode or two after that.
In last year's Christmas episode (Red Sleigh Down), at the very end, Kenny simply... reappeared. The kids greeted him as if nothing had happened, and he hasn't died since.

| #13 Posted on 23.10.03 1011.39 Reposted on: 23.10.10 1017.22 | And after further review... ehhh. There were a few decent bits, but they could've done sooooooooo much more with the premise, and once the "crab people" stuff started it went downhill. A base hit, but not the home run I was hoping for.
Rather than "kicking it up a notch," Garrison was the TAMEST male adult on the show -- which was the point to some extent, I suppose, but it didn't jive with the episode description.
I'm sure Parker and Stone have some aces up their sleeve, but they'll have to work hard to top the best of Seasons 6 and 7.

I was wondering what they were smoking when they came up with this stuff. I guess they figured that "Drugs are goood" a la Mr. Mackey in the Plane-arium episode.
Craaaaab people, craaaaab people...
I admit it: I laughed at the wierd stuff too. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
