Plot<\/strong>: After Kenny is killed yet again, an incident at the morgue turns him into a zombie<\/s> gives him pinkeye! The entire town quickly become brain-eating pinkeye sufferers, and it\u2019s ruining Stan, Kyle, and Cartman\u2019s Halloween.<\/p>\n

Breakdown<\/strong>: Wow. I\u2019ve gone all this time on this blog without ever reviewing anything from South Park<\/em>. That\u2019s wild.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never been a huge South Park<\/em> fan. I had a period of a couple years around when the movie premiered on TV where I was somewhat into the show and watched the movie several times (Careful to not get caught by my parents. I was only around ten at the time.) but I was never too big of a fan of it. I respect South Park<\/em> greatly for what it is, and I also respect its longevity, plus it can be a lot of fun, but my sense of humor just doesn\u2019t fully mesh with South Park<\/em>\u2019s.<\/p>\n

I guess I\u2019ve just never been too into \u201cWorking real hard to offend you\u201d type of humor. I\u2019m not a prude by any means, but a lot of the time it just feels like shock value doing a lot of the work. South Park<\/em> tends to be good about maintaining funny commentary and witty jokes to offset the shock humor, but the formula just isn\u2019t something I\u2019d consistently be attracted to.<\/p>\n

Made more sense for me to get into it briefly as a kid. This was the time in my life where I was making a slight effort to sneakily watch more mature stuff just to feel more grown up. I did the same thing with things like Beavis and Butthead<\/em> and Celebrity Death Match<\/em> and stuff. It didn\u2019t matter if I found the thing particularly great or even good. I just felt value in being like \u201cHehe, I\u2019m watching stuff outside my age bracket. Hehe.\u201d That sounds lame, but I was a very sheltered child. It didn\u2019t take much to get that particular thrill.<\/p>\n

As an adult, South Park<\/em> is something I dip my toes back into a few times every now and then, but, again, it\u2019s just not something that tends to lock me in. I\u2019ll get a hankerin\u2019 for it out of the blue, enjoy a few episodes, and then leave it behind again. It\u2019s like if South Park<\/em> were a physical item, it\u2019d be on the shelf right at checkout so every time I see it I\u2019ll be like \u201cEhhh, should I? It\u2019s right there. And I enjoy it enough. I have a few extra bucks. But I already got a candy bar. Ehh, sure. Why not?\u201d<\/p>\n

That said, this is one of those episodes I actually did watch back when I was a kid. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I remember watching it more than once, and I think I enjoyed it about as much as I did back then.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a certain talent to doing the \u201cSomething obvious is happening but people either ignore it or think it\u2019s something innocuous\u201d running joke, and South Park<\/em> pulls it off pretty well. Everyone but the boys are freaking out about pinkeye, and the boys just don\u2019t notice or care that the town is going to hell and Kenny\u2019s eating people\u2019s brains. All they care about is their Halloween candy.<\/p>\n

How all this happens and how it gets cleared up without affecting continuity is, as expected of South Park<\/em>, pretty much just nonsense, and that\u2019s fine. A satellite falls on Kenny, killing him, and that actually has nothing to do with anything in the story besides starting us off with Kenny dead as opposed to how the show usually kills him off near the end.<\/p>\n

Kenny is brought to the morgue and embalmed accidentally with Worcestershire sauce and that turns him into a zombie. And everyone who wasn\u2019t completely killed by the zombies or Cartman and Stan get turned back just by killing the original zombie IE Kenny.<\/p>\n

Trey Parker apparently didn\u2019t like this ending and thought it didn\u2019t make sense and was a deus ex machina, but like\u2026.does he know what show he\u2019s making? If your zombie story started with a boy turning into a zombie because he was embalmed with Worcestershire sauce, I\u2019m pretty sure there\u2019s no ending that DOES make sense and isn\u2019t<\/em> a deus ex machina.<\/p>\n

This, apparently, was a breakout episode for the series. It solidified aspects of several characters, like Mrs. Cartman being the town whore, Cartman being\u2026.just the worst human being, and Chef being one of the only level-headed adults in town who actually understands the truth of the weirder things happening in town.<\/p>\n

I understand how it did become such a classic of the series. I don\u2019t personally think it\u2019s worthy of being a yearly Halloween rewatch for me or anything, but it is fun and got a handful of chuckles and smiles out of me.<\/p>\n

I actually don\u2019t know how many South Park<\/em> Halloween episodes exist, so maybe we\u2019ll cross paths again on Animating Halloween in the future. Or even AVAHS.<\/p>\n\n

If you enjoy my horrifying work and would like to show your ghoulish support, please consider offering a financial sacrifice at my Ko-Fi altar. Every offering goes to helping me combat evil money-sucking vampires known as \u2018bills\u2019 and keep this blog from becoming a ghost. Thank you! \ud83c\udf83<\/p>\n
