Movie Reviews of South Park - The Complete Ninth Season
Movie Review: Still funny after all of these years
Summary: 5 Stars
Season nine is as good a season of South Park as any. Of course the stand out is "Trapped in the Closet". That's the episode that saw Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef, draw the line at making sport of other people. The "other people" in this case were Scientologists, and Hayes, of course, is a Scientologist himself. It's funny how Hayes went nine years making fun of everything from Mormons to the mentally handicapped without a peep of disapproval, but the episode on Scientology was somehow the final straw. The beloved Chef is given a proper exit in season ten by splicing together past pieces of dialogue from the character, and once again Matt and Trey manage to make sport of Scientology. But I digress. Episode one of season nine sees a big change for Mr. Garrison. However, once he becomes a woman, the most amazing thing happens - Mr. Garrison becomes a social conservative. Since he no longer needs the protection of social tolerance, he quickly abandons it himself. "The Losing Edge" talks about a hard fact most people don't want to discuss - baseball is just plain boring to many youngsters of today. In this episode the South Park team continues to advance through the Little League play-offs because they just can't seem to pull off being as bad as the other teams, who are also trying to lose so as not to forfeit their summer vacation. Matt and Trey continue to make statements in episodes that parallel well known events this season, such as in "Best Friends Forever" where Kenny is in a vegetative state after being hit by a truck. Stan and Kyle get into a battle with Cartman over keeping Kenny's feeding tube inserted which ends up involving and lampooning every national group that usually gets involved in these cases. Of course, Cartman's motivation in this whole thing is that Kenny left him his Sony PSP game in his will, and Kenny has to die for Cartman to actually take possession of it.
It's really amazing that South Park is still with us and still funny after all of these years. When it first came on the air in 1997, I thought it would be a real shooting star of comedy. I predicted that this primitively animated show featuring four foul-mouthed little boys and their misadventures that are actually adult entertainment would be a hilarious joke that would get old fast. Instead Matt and Trey have managed to keep it fresh. I felt the show faltered a bit around season four when they relied too much on having the show focus on current events and got away from the boys and their childhood adventures, but I think over the last few seasons they've found a nice balance between the two. Highly recommended.
