Cartman warned everyone in "Pee", but nobody listened...until it was too late.
This week's episode of "South Park" was the season finale for the 13th season of Comedy Central's brilliant animated comedy series, and anyone who saw it will tell you: the show's gone out with a bang this year. Read our review below, and be sure to check out the amazingly not-safe-for-anyone clip of Cartman's song "Not My Waterpark" that we've embedded below. Carry on, my gentle Examiner readers...
This week's "South Park", titled-- simply-- "Pee", was one of the best of the entire season. The episode began with Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Butters, Kenny, and the rest of the usual "South Park" gang headed for an afternoon at the waterpark. Soon after arriving, however, it became apparent that many minorities had decided to attend on the same day. This, of course, led to a song (a jaw-droppingly inappropriate song) from Cartman called "Not My Waterpark". Here, check it out (and you've been warned):
Just: wow. No one does social commentary and incredibly politically incorrect humor like "South Park". Cartman spent the episode worrying about the minorities at the waterpark, while Stan was more concerned with the amount of people peeing into the public pools at the park. Somehow, all of this very quickly devolved into a Roland Emmerich-style action movie parody, which is quite timely with "2012" in theaters (and stomping the competition at the box office) right now.
As for the Roland Emmerich parodying: no one does it better. The kids (and dad Randy) tried to warn the water park's surrounding area about an onslaught of publicly-urinated-in-water headed their way, which in turn led to a bizarre series of conversation about drinking tainted pool water. Think "The Day After Tomorrow", only with a whole lot more urine. We realize that reading this plot doesn't sound hilarious, but anyone who watches "South Park" will tell you that this is the setup for a tremendously entertaining episode.
"South Park" has taken on the Roland Emmerich-style disaster movie before, but this may be their finest attempt to capture the absurdity of that director's films ("South Park" fans also probably already know that "Team America: World Police" started as Matt Stone and Trey Parker wanting to re-do "The Day After Tomorrow" with an all-puppet cast-- no joke). You can watch the entire episode over at "South Park Studios" right now (for free, and completely legally!), or you can just check your local listings for repeats of the episode on Comedy Central. Do yourself a favor and seek it out: it's one of the season's best.
