South Park Season 14 Blu-ray

South Park: Season 14 is pure comedic gold, the kind that makes you laugh so hard you start questioning your life choices—like why you didn’t watch it sooner. Every episode hits with the perfect mix of chaos, social commentary, and that special brand of ridiculousness only South Park can deliver. From outrageous celebrity parodies to unforgettable storylines that practically fry your brain, this season kept me glued to the screen and occasionally snorting like an unhinged hyena. Even the episodes that go completely off the rails feel like a warm, inappropriate hug. If you're a fan of sharp humor wrapped in utter nonsense, Season 14 delivers big time. Cartman would approve… probably. Read more

I never write reviews. I am always so busy, being a workaholic, that to spend time on such a frivolous endeavor is anathema to me. However, this product was such, due to it being reputedly broken at the gate due to censoring of the episode 201, that I felt compelled to spend the precious time to put forth my opinion for those who are considering making this purchase. This is largely because I view Matt Stone and Trey Parker as two of our most valuable satirists...or as satirists were once known, jesters. You will no doubt have heard by now that the episode of 201 is still in the same format as it was broadcast, bleeps and all. (The bleeps, for those who might not know, were ostensibly due to a veiled threat by a homegrown wannabe Muslim cleric. He was quoted as saying that South Park might want to lay off the Muslim humor if it's creators didn't want to suffer the same fate as Theo Van Gogh, who was killed by Muslim fanatics....y'know, just a friendly word of advice between friends) He looked and acted a lot like Cartman in the news interview of him that I saw...hmmmm... A pre-viewing blurb on this DVD insists that Matt and Trey did not do this bleeping of the dialogue as a huge meta-joke, that it was all Comedy Central's doing. Hmmm...perhaps, rabbit, perhaps. If so, Comedy Central is the biggest bunch of hypocritical, gutless, cowardly a-holes you will ever see being hypocritical, gutless, cowardly a-holes in such a transparent fashion. How do I reach this conclusion? I'll tell you. There was a gag on the Jon Stewart Show recently that garnered a bit of notoriety for offending Catholics, mainly, and all Christians, generally. Great! All for it! I am, after all, a South Park fan. I believe that all of the emperors that have ever existed have no clothes and after all, we are all the emperor when it comes right down to it and a dose of reality/humility is good for each and every one of us. Of course, not everyone agrees...possibly most don't... The main reason many folks get so offended by what the jester says is that he's not a "yes man" and tells you straight up what everyone else can can plainly see about us that we pretend they cannot. Jesters exist for good reason. Religious, political, etc. fanatics are not offended by the jesters comments because they love God or conservatism/liberalism so much, they get offended purely because the satirist dares mock the choices that they, the believers, have made. It goes without saying that this holds true for secular, atheist, and political (yes, I know, I've already said it twice...yadda, yadda, yadda) believers as well. None of us are pure. However... Comedy Central was asked by what could easily be determined to be at least the equivalent spokesperson for the Catholics as the self-proclaimed spokesperson for the Muslims who made the comment resulting in all the bleeping and outright ban from the SP website of not just episode 201, but episode 200 as well, for an apology. An apology is all that was aked...no threats of violence, nothing like that. If my sources are correct, they apparently refused, claiming that they did not give in to religious demands. Good for them, I say...Hell no we won't exclude certain people from ridicule.. but....my DVD is still bleeped.... As Kyle might say, "Really??" So it becomes evident that my above statement that Comedy Central is made up of hypocritical, yadda, yadda yadda...must be true. if... All of the above information is also true. If the above information is not true, however, then it really must be all just a meta-joke by the same two guys that that least once in the past, by their own admission, aired shows that were not what the viewers had been conditioned to expect or want. Not Without My Anus, anyone? Very Andy Kaufmanesque. They claim it just isn't so that they were actually the ones who bleeped episode 201, but have been known to lie to us in the past for the sake of the joke. So.... As Kyle might say, "Really??" That said, this product is great! The bleeping actually does work very well as a meta-joke...hmm...suspicious, that...so purchase without fear dear consumer...you will not be disappointed. Each episode is every bit as great as those that preceded it. No jumping of the shark here. The homeless, maybe, but not sharks. Read more

Season 14 is probably in the Top 3 of South Park's Best Seasons. Just the Superhero Trilogy alone is worth it and the addition of the banned 200 & 201 Episodes is an also double plus. I freaking love this season! Just buy it and enjoy it! Read more

OVERVIEW: The premise of "South Park" was conceived by creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker in the early 1990s. Due to its viral-video success, Comedy Central picked up the rights to the franchise and aired the first episode of the adult animated series in 1997. The cartoon garnered fame as one of the first shows to hinge its comedy on the use of crude language, satirical storylines, and dark humor. Set in South Park, Colorado, the main characters of the show--Stan Marsh, Eric Cartman, Kyle Broflovski, and Kenny McCormick--often parody the childhoods of their writers. SPECIAL FEATURES of the Season 14 box-set include deleted scenes, bonus episode from Season 13 titled "The Coon," and "Commentary-Mini." If you have never watched the episodes with "Commentary Mini," I encourage you to do so; the short commentaries from Trey Parker and Matt Stone are optionally run during the first three minutes of each episode. Parker and Stone have used this method of commentary since the early seasons. Their short introductions often expose insights behind particular jokes, further multiplying the laugh count. You may also find that, especially with the episodes "200" and "201," the commentary is necessary for full understanding of the humor's significance. SEASON 14 kicked off in the spring of 2010 with fourteen episodes, each written during the week before broadcast. In true "South Park" style, some of the pop-culture references of this season include: "Tron," the Kardashian family, an off-shore oil spill, "The Catcher in the Rye," "Hoarders," Tiger Woods, medical marijuana, "Jersey Shore," "Inception," Facebook, Sarah Jessica Parker, and depiction of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. I have been a fan of "South Park" since its beginning and religiously purchase each season; however, I feel that the show's cleverness and charm has gone into a slump since season 14. While I still find the show highly entertaining, much of the recent comedy has felt `forced.' I am happy to say that the writing seemed to pick back up in Season 16 and is nearly fully-operational by Season 17. EPISODES: To introduce the 14th Season, an old April Fools' joke saw resurrection. Comedy Central Netherlands had promoted a new show titled "The Real South Park" which was set to feature a real-life cast of Cartman, Kenny, Stan, and Kyle. While the actors for these roles were Dutch-speaking, their lines were to be dubbed by English-speaking voice actors. Once again, "South Park" had the last laugh; on April 1, 2010, a short segment was aired with the boys in the red-light district of Amsterdam. Once Kenny was dealt his savage and foreboding death, a message read: "1 April... There is only one real South Park." Episode 1: "Sexual Healing"--In the aftermath of the Tiger Woods scandal, rich celebrities such as Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods, Michael Douglas, etc. shroud the public perception of infidelity by claiming they suffer from sexual addiction. Episode 2: "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs"--The boys believe they have been tricked into reading "The Catcher in the Rye" after having been given the illusion that the book is controversial. To retaliate, the boys write a truly gross story called "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs." When Stan's parents discover the naughty book, the authorship is blamed on Butters. Episode 3: "Medicinal Fried Chicken"--When KFC is closed down due to health laws, a medicinal marijuana shop takes its place. In order to swindle a prescription, Randy gives himself testicular cancer. Cartman, experiencing the Colonel's withdrawals, involves himself in an underground operation for smuggling KFC. Episode 4: "You Have 0 Friends"--All of South Park is sucked into social media. After befriending Kip Drory, Kyle experiences social leprosy; Stan serves as a token for all that is miserable about Facebook. Episode 5: "200"--For the 200th episode, "South Park" resurrects all of the disgruntled celebrities they ever spoofed by combining them into a single army determined to seek revenge on the town. Tom Cruise leads the attack and sets out with Ron Howard to steal Muhammad's powers of anti-mockery. Episode 6: "201"--Another army joins the war on South Park, this time led by head Ginger and Cartman-nemesis, Scott Tenorman. As the battle ensues, the paternity of Eric Cartman is finally revealed. Episode 7: "Crippled Summer"--Jimmy and Timmy return for another summer at Camp Tardicaca. To ensure Jimmy fails in the athletic competitions, fellow campers Nathan and Mimsy embody the characters Rocky and Mugsy as a parody to plots commonly seen in Bugs Bunny cartoons. Meanwhile, Towelie's drug addiction causes him to hit rock-bottom and leads to an intervention. Episode 8: "Poor and Stupid"--Cartman successfully offends Kenny (and everyone else who isn't Butters) with his perception of NASCAR. Episode 9: "It's A Jersey Thing"--In the midst of fighting a nationwide Jersey takeover, Kyle learns his family's roots. Episode 10: "Insheeption"--When Stan and Mr. Mackey are diagnosed as hoarders, they investigate the underlying cause by infiltrating multiple dream levels. Episode 11: "Coon 2: Hindsight"--The Coon now heads a league of vigilante children dubbed "Coon and Friends." Cartman becomes frustrated as his organization tends to be last-on-the-scene to major crises such as the BP oil spill disaster. Episode 12: "Mysterion Rises"--Mysterion, the popular-vote leader of Coon and Friends, fights to save the Gulf. The Coon calls upon Cthulhu to help in seeking revenge on those who scorned him. Episode 13: "Coon vs. Coon & Friends"--Cartman as his hench-creature, Cthulhu, target Coon & Friends. Kenny finally addresses the burden of his own supernatural power. Episode 14: "Crème Fraiche"-- Randy pursues his momentary dream to become a Food Network-type chef. Sharon resents Randy's spontaneous and ever-changing interests, leaving Stan to deal with the struggles of adolescence on his own. Read more
