Product Description

What began as a construction-paper film short evolved into a veritable pop-culture phenomenon for Trey Parker and Matt Stone's outrageous animated comedy series SOUTH PARK. Centered on the hilarious misadventures of four potty-mouthed grade-schoolers in the perpetually wintry environs of South Park Colorado the series skewers the vagaries of the modern American cultural landscape with politically incorrect humor and satirical plotlines ranging from homophobia and terrorism to boy bands and talking poo. This collection presents every episode from the series' seventh season.System Requirements:Running Time: 374 MInFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097368891449 Manufacturer No: 889144

There is nothing in South Park's seventh season to offend Tom Cruise (nothing about Scientology, at any rate; that will come in season 9). However, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Rob Reiner, the Queer Eye guys, Christopher Reeve (!), war supporters and anti-war protesters, and Mormons, do not get off so easy. But, "Who cares?" as the townspeople sing in "I'm a Little Bit Country." What matters is that with this particular episode, South Park attained the precious, syndication-ready 100-episode mark! Another milestone: "Raisins," in which Wendy breaks up with Stan, who falls under the influence of the "Goth kids" ("If you want to be one of the non-comformists, all you have to do is dress just like us and listen to the same music we do").

Even by South Park standards, season 7 is pretty hardcore. In "Christian Rock Hard," Cartman is so determined to attain platinum album status before Kyle and his band that he forms a Christian rock group. The band's repertoire makes Tom Lehrer's once-scandalous "Vatican Rag" sound like "Oh, Happy Day." But mostly, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone take Cheney-like potshots at pop-culture notables. In "South Park Is Gay!", we discover what is really behind the "metrosexual" phenomenon and the true identity of the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy quartet. In "Butt Out," Rob Reiner is portrayed as a corpulent goo-filled "fascist" willing to the sanction murder (of Cartman) to further his anti-"Big Tobacco" agenda. As you can guess from the title, "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" is a merciless deconstruction of "Bennifer," as Cartman's Jennifer Lopez hand puppet dethrones the real thing, and attracts the amorous attention of Ben Affleck. "All About Mormons" anticipates the Scientology episode, "Trapped in the Closet" (not included here, and if lawyers have anything to say about it, might not be included in a season 9 set, either) with a straight-faced musical dramatization of the Joseph Smith story. "Everyone thought we were making stuff up to be funny," Parker and Stone relate in their mini commentary (optional for each episode). "But we're not. We're not making this stuff up in this show." Which is perhaps why the episode "Cancelled," which posits that Earth exists only as reality-TV fodder for aliens, doesn't seem so farfetched. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews

It's SouthPark. You get what you expect.
In my opinion, which is worth around a penny, this is the best animated series to ever hit the airways.

One of my favorite episodes was when.....wait a minute, I love them all. :-) Some are better than others, but I wouldn't throw any of them out.

I don't get them on my TV anymore, so I wait until they come out on DVD and watch the entire year over three days.

Who doesn't love a bunch of trash talking, dirty mouthed little kids who are always getting into mischief?

Continually pushing the envelope
What is offensive to one is hilarious to millions. South Park continues to steamroll political correctness in season 7. My favorite episode is "Grey Dawn", where the town takes action against elderly drivers. It was especailly timely where I am from, we had 3 incidents involving elderly drivers versus buildings in less than 2 weeks (a Cracker Barrel restaurant, a Chase bank and a Kroger grocery store). I'm a Little Bit Country, Lil' Crime Stoppers, Red Man's Greed, Raisins, and It's Christmas in Canada are also totally hilarious. I love what a little manipulative b@st@rd Cartman is, especially in Casa Bonita and Christian Rock Hard. The creators of South Park love to use song, pop culture references and sight gags. They mock everything from music sharing, gangs, reality TV, Hooters, Mormons, Indian casinos, New Foundland, stem-cell research, and the metroseual craze without apology.

HILARIOUS!
Great fun! SouthPark is too fun to watch and great for college dorm-living get-togethers.
