R&R South Park "Medicinal Fried Chicken"

[Ryan]

randy has testicular cancer, cartman craves KFC.

discuss.

[pocketfox]

Both plot elements have been done to death in the past. Meh. 2.5/5 since it still had some laughs.

[Tomacco]

That had way more old-school SP style to it. Ridiculous and funny stuff. The coat ending was amazing.

[Ryan]

pretty good. I liked the scarface parody, but surprisingly I really loved the randy plot. the women ogling the men's huge balls was hysterical, as well as the scrotum coat.

just a well-rounded funny south park episode that was somewhat surprisingly in favor of just legalizing pot. (although given matt and trey's drug-filled past, it's not incredibly shocking)

4/5

edit: also, cartman exploding might be the hardest I've laughed in a while. can't believe I forgot about that.

[arii]

Shit yeah, that's better. Both plots were interesting and funny. The music playing whilst Randy and his friends were hopping around on their balls was... pretty amazing. That and just the image. This wasn't nearly as disgusting as I'd assumed it would be from the promo image, and even some other things like Randy's balls swelling up too big for him to get through a door... wow.

And Cartman's pining for KFC was great, the explosion was great, since I inadvertently ended up watching the premiere of Jamie Oliver's new show last Friday I could appreciate those references, but throughout the whole thing all I could think of was their Tooth Fairy episode. Which was a little unfortunate because this was still pretty entertaining.

Better than the last two, yup. Good episode.

oh yeah and the pope references actually really worked in this one. yup, had to edit to include this.

somewhat surprisingly in favor of just legalizing pot.

how is that even close to being surprising

is it just me or is SP getting away with just as much, if not more, on basic cable than it probably would be able to in theaters, or at least the theaters ten years ago?

and what was with the blurred out drug handlers?

[Ryan]

usually they're pretty contrary to very liberal ideals, but it makes sense why they would be for it. I have to equate my thoughts about it to a particular futurama quote.

"I'm shocked, SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked."

[Magnum]

they gleefully hate on silly trends among certain liberal groups, but are obviously very socially liberal themselves

[Friz]

I was enjoying Randy pissed off that he was healthy... I cringed during him trying to get cancer (to the point of me wanting to turn off).. but the image of all the South Park Men bouncing on their balls made it worth the cringing.

And Barbrady!

4/5

[Sniper Squirrel]

much much bette than the previous two episodes, really liked the colonel as well as the guys on the testicle hippity hop...4/5

[Last Milhouse on the Left]

An improvement from recent episodes. Cartman's head exploding was funny and everything about the balls hippity-hops. It doesn't seem like it would be funny but somehow it worked. 4/5

[pocketfox]

I'll have to watch this again, maybe it's better than I thought. i missed a few minutes of it.

[Tomacco]

Can someone make me an animated gif of all the men bouncing around on their balls?

[Gatorgod]

Funnier than last weeks. Both A-B stories worked great. The Balls one was a bit of a gross out but I expect this from SP. The Scar Face/Cartman was rarely funny but I enjoyed the parody anyways 4/5

[D DEBBS]

Some laffs, but mostly M-E-H.

At leaast it was better than the last 2 eps.

[Redem]

4/5

THought I kinda wish the Cartman storyline would have been more exciting

[burnin']

better then the first two episodes but still lacking something. didn't care much for the balls story (except the music they played while they were bouncing) i liked the kfc story but they've kinda done enough scarface stuff already. 3/5

[D4C]

Enjoyable for the most part. Didn't see last week's, but this was much better than the Tiger Woods episode, though the only laugh to be found in Randy's story was bouncy balls. The rest was crap.

Cartman's story should've been the primary story as every scene was consistently funny in its own way, to certain degrees.

Pretty good. Shows Matt and Trey haven't become functionally retarded and can still produce episodes of value, though I'd never pay a dime for it.

[Mr. Krikt]

I actually really enjoyed it.
It was far better than the last two episodes.

[Flimpson Tide]

Crazy and fun. Loved Cartman freaking out at his mom over getting KFC. Randy was great. Colonel Sanders being a dick was predictable and not really necessary. 4/5
Yeah, it was nice to see Barbrady say a couple of lines, but when you think of it, it didn't matter anyway. He had absolute generic cop personality. The lines he delivered would not have been one bit different had it been that other police officer/detective who gets the spotlight on the show nowadays, just like how Mr. Garrison is just a teacher who delivers lines about class projects.

[Dr. Horrible]

i really don't know why i used to find this show funny, it seems like they are sacrificing plot for being overly heavyhanded with their social messages now

[NoOneFamous]

Now? They've been doing that for quite some time.

[D4C]

Took over 24 hours to get that response? Guild, I am disapoint.

[Ryan]

I think this is one of their less preachy affairs in comparison to some other recent episodes.

[Old painty-can Ned]

Randy was annoying as usual. But the episode overall was pretty funny and way better than the first two episodes of the season C++

[Squeaky Voiced Teen]

A great episode. Loved how old south park it was. B

[Nerd Groupie]

awful awful awful

My review of the last three episodes, this episode in particular

They better bring it with the next few or I'm giving up

[Shaunbadia]

Much better than the first two episodes. Cartman's KFC/Scarface plot was fun, but I gotta say that this episode has got to be the best Randy plot since "More Crap".

5/5

[kupomog]

Better than the puke episode. But still not that great. I loved the Scarface/KFC stuff, I hated Randy and his damn balls. Had some laughs and at least it wasn't as disgusting as I thought given the promo image but it was also borderline retarded and I just wasn't feeling it. I really hate Randy nowadays, there's little to nothing that can get me to enjoy an episode he is the focus of because he is so goddamned stupid now.

[Dehumanizer]

This episode was awesome! Definitely had an old-school South Park feel to it. The music that was playing when Randy and the others were bouncing on their balls was outright hilarious! Fantastic episode!

So far I'm 2 (Sexual Healing & Medicinal Fried Chicken) for 1 (Scrotie McBooger Balls) with this season!

Overall Rating: 5/5
