Synopsis

Stan’s the continued victim of violence from his older sister Shelly, and he’s sick and tired and wants to get back at her. Cartman is adamant his pig will NOT be used for any experiment. Genetic engineering, involving Stan as well, almost brings South Park to doom.

Kenny's Death

Cooked in the microwave after Evil Stan throws him in there.

My Thoughts Back Then

Another one I don’t remember *as* much, I loved Science at school at this point, but back in 2004, things like retard and butt jokes were still new for 13 year old me. Some of my classmates had braces at the time, and anything related to making love went right over my head.

My Thoughts Now

Fireside chat #5, I think you’ve all got the drift with these by now.

Stan keeps getting black eyes form his older sister Shelly. Cartman has the wrong idea (he thinks women should cook and care for him and nothing else), and Kyle has a pet elephant! We get to see the Special Ed bus, a typical example of retard humour that was popular until around 2010 or so – it’s since fallen out of vogue, but I have no issues with that sort of humour.

Genetic engineering is a hot topic in Mr. Garrison’s class, Mr. Garrison thinks German people are something that should be engineered out. Mr. Garrison pretends to listen to Stan, but tells him to grow up when he admits his sister beats him up. If I was Shelly’s Dad, I’d kill her for destroying the TV! How dare she ruin the device that’s given joy since the 1930s! Well, maybe not kill, but I’d throw her in a room with the boorish thug who bashed my five front teeth out when I was 21!

Dr. Mephisto is here to offer the boys his services, namely making an elephant-pig hybrid. The Doctor takes some of Stan’s blood, the next scene was animated manually (weird seeing computer and cardboard cel animation in the same show, this is actually a deleted scene from the first episode). The boys tell Pip to go away and Cartman calls him French (he’s actually English, so typical Cartman) On a side note, if I cosplayed as a South Park character again, I’d probably go as Pip (I’ve got the right hat, plus I’m often mistaken for being English)

How did the Marshes get another TV?! Do they have some sort of stash of them in the basement? And how on earth do a bunch of 8 year old boys get beer? Chef might have got it for them. Terrence, Dr. Mephisto’s son, is VERY happy with the clone of Stan his dad has grown. Stan’s clone is not very bright, and he’s also very destructive! He goes to wreck the town, including throwing Officer Barbrady in a lake!

Dr Mephisto realises his mistake, but Kyle and Cartman leave Stan alone in a destroyed house, and Shelly takes the blame after realising the errors of her ways when confronted by Randy and Sharon… before beating Stan again. Certainly one of the more abusive sibling rivalries on TV. Presentation day comes, and the pig gave birth to… a pig looking like Mr. Garrison!!!!!

  Season 2 Episode 6 – The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka South Park gets caught up in the TV ratings war of the century! Original Airdate 10 th June 1998 Synopsis Jimbo and Ned are convinced the Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka is real, and their TV show soars in the ratings, while rival show Jesus and Pals is struggling. And there’s a bit about the Vietnam War too, involving roller coasters and log rides. Kenny's Death Ripped in two during the Jerry Springer-esque riot at Jesus and Pals. My Thoughts Back Then As I’ve mentioned earlier, Jimbo and Ned were early favourite South Park characters of mine when I first watched these in late 2004, at age 13. This episode, being like a spiritual sequel to Season 1’s Volcano in some ways, was another early favourite of mine, and one I rewatched when I got Season 2 on DVD the following April, not long after I turned 14. I knew what the Vietnam War was too when I first saw this, and at the time strong...
