This seems to just get better and better. Season 3 rocks on with some of the most unforgettable episodes in the whole show.
The "Screw you guys, I'm going home!" routine was started in Season 1 but this season is where it propels into the awesomeness that it is. In "Rainforest Schmainforest", the first episode of the season, Cartman adds that after he says one of his other known lines "N'n'n'n'no, you guys n'yah, I'm going over n'yah!"
There are also Cartman's one-liners that are never repeated in later episodes but are funny as hell. In "The Succubus", a woman is trying to take Chef away from the four boys and are wondering whether they're jealous because Chef likes someone better than them. "Yeah, so?" "Yeah, screw that bitch." And then Cartman says, "Bitch, I hate that bitch!" It is hilarious and one of his best one-liners ever.
This season also features the first trilogy of the series: "Cat Orgy," "Two Guys Naked in a Hottub," and "Jewbilee". They all take place at the same time, following the four boys' separate storylines as they are not together for the episodes. While Cartman's is the funniest, Stan's episodes features two really important parts. Butters is finally introduced as a central character as one of the funniest characters in South Park. On the other hand, Randy shows some of his absolute stupidity in being paranoid about people knowing something that he and Gerald Broflovski did in the hottub.
This is definetly one of the best seasons that Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone have created. A definite must for any South Park fan. No, you MUST buy it or else "Screw you guys, I'm going home!" |

I live in bonnie Scotland and we Scots have an un-fair reputation for being careful with our pennies ......... then again when you pay twelve of the good Queens pounds for a complete season of a brilliantly funny , on the case comedy which has and will go down as one of the greatest ever written, ( and that twelve quid included delivery) you would have to be nuts to buy it anywhere else.
Some people may find it offensive, rude, childish, vulgar, crude, even racist; ..... but thankfully that's a small minded majority who should maybe find something worthwhile protesting about.
As for the rest of the human race sit back and laugh along with the rest of us and if you still don't think it's funny then here's an idea .................... stop watching it !

Many times, something will appear in the media - be it a movie, comic book or TV show - that is shocking and winds up attracting the audience merely because of the shock value. Eventually, that quality goes away and the reader or viewer finds there is little else there. For a decade, South Park has defied this rule: not only does it continue to be edgy, but beyond the edginess, there is real humor and often a worthwhile statement as well.
In Season Three, the foursome of third-graders - Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny - get involved in new adventures. Once again, little is safe from creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone: among the subjects of their pointed humor: Pokemon, the rain forest, child molesters, Jar Jar Binks and the Y2K phenomenon (as well as Sally Struthers, God, Jesus and Civil War reenactors.
Probably my favorite episode of this season is Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery, a take-off on Scooby Doo cartoons featuring members of the band Korn in place of Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Scooby. Who are the mysterious ghost pirates (or pirate ghosts) that haunt South Park? You'll have to watch and find out.
What also stands out about this season is what could be known as The Meteor Shower trilogy. In this series of three episodes, we follow different characters all on the night of a meteor shower: Cartman is babysat by Shelly (Stan's mean older sister); Stan is stuck in the basement at a party while ATF agents are ready to blow up the place thinking there is a cult inside; and Kenny and Kyle go to Jewbilee, a Jewish camp where Moses visits. More than any earlier episodes, this trilogy shows that Parker and Stone were willing to break free from their normal storytelling and do something different.
Happily, even the weaker episodes (of which there only a few - I'd rate Sexual Harassment Panda towards the bottom) are four-star quality, so this is definitely a five-star set overall. If you've never viewed South Park, this may be as good a place as any to start, but be prepared: if you offend easily, this is not the cartoon for you. If, on the other hand, you like shows that not only push the envelope but go outside it, South Park is a joy to watch.

| The 3rd season definitly has it's moments but it's another great season. unfortunately, it was also the last season to have Mary Kay Bergman (the person who played all of the women in South Park.) because later in 1999, she killed herself. when you watch any of the episodes on the 3rd disc, excluding Mr. Hankey's Christmas Special, you notice that the women of South Park don't speak a word. This also has the infamous Chinpokomon (Chinpoko means Penis) is in this season. |

| "Great Lessons From South Park" | 2006-06-30 |

I just started watching south park about 3 months ago, and like the simpsons, family guy, and futurama, i just couldnt get enough. I watched every single episode, and i bought all of the DVDs. Im reviewing this one because its one of my favorite seasons. Everyone can learn valuable lessons from south park, especially from this season. Such important lessons are: pandas make crappy sexual harassment teachers, god is a deformed squirrel, lizard, monkey thing, if Cartman had led the South in the Civil War, slavery would still be legal(especially for Stan and Kyle, because I hate those guys, just kidding) and all of those activists who protest the cutting of the rainforests can F--- themselves. After all, most of them have never been there. And finally, cats are really turned on by nature videos.
So enjoy this quality season of South Park. |

The third season was funny! Out of the stories I liked: Rainforest Shaminforest, Tweek vs. Craig, Cat Orgy, Two guys naked in a tub, Jewbilee, Starvin Marvin in space, the Red Badge of Gayness and Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics the best.
Rainforest Shmainforest: Jennifer Aniston took part in this episode and did a good job as the leader of the Save the Rainforest group "Getting Gay with Kids" They head to Costa Rica and get lost in the rainforest during a tour their guide gets eaten by a snake. Cartman of course goes about trying to beat all animals with a stick and Kyle learns as a Jew his has no rhythm! Watch the performances of the choir. His dancing is off! There is a joke with a reference to the cheerleader outfit from friends.
Spontaneous Combustion: People are spontaneously combusting and it's up to Stan's Dad to figure out why. He wins the Nobel award for his discovery. However, sometimes the cure is worst then the disease! There is a second story where the boys crucify Cartman so he can have a resurrection in order to help Kyle's father get an erection.
The Succubus: Chef is in love and wants to get married! Only a demon from hell could accomplish this feat. How will the boys defeat her? There is a side story with Carman having eye problems and has to visit an insulting doctor. "How is my little piggy today?" It's a funny story. Especially when Cartman's eyes are dilated!
Tweek vs. Craig: This was a funny episode! Tweek and Craig are tricked into a knock down battle royal to see who would win the fight.
Jackovasaurs: In the tradition of Jar-Jar, the boys discover a forgotten ancient race of creatures. What started as amazing turns out to be annoying! To make matters worst, Cartman is deputized to take care of them. Of course the government people fled town!
Sexual Harassment Panda: It is time to learn about Sexual Harassment. Who better to teach then a man in a Panda suit? Soon, everybody is suing everybody over sexual harassment.
Cat Orgy: Cartman gets a babysitter while his mom gets off to a Meteor Shower party. Cartman meets his match when Shelly enters the house. He quickly learns to respect her authority! He decides to take his revenge with Shelly's 22 year old boyfriend appears (she is 12). While this goes on, the cat goes out and parties rather heavily. You get to see many things like cats doing lines of catnip!
Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub: Continuing the side stories from Cat Orgy, we switch to Stan who is dragged to the Meteor party and is locked downstairs with three nerdos(butters, Pip, and Dougie). Butters finds a crate of women's cloths (why does Mr. Mackey have them?) and they decide to play Charlies Angels. Stan puts them to work to figure out a way to escape their prison. While this goes on Stan and Kyle's dad share a moment and Stan's dad is embarrassed and tries to avoid Kyle's dad almost like they were a couple. While this goes on the ATF appears as they think the party is a cult determined to commit suicide. They deal with the situation as they did in Waco.
Jewbilee: Continuing the side stories from Cat Orgy, Kyle invites Kenny on a trip with his Jew scout trip to a camp. Kyle's brother has to stay with the squirts and their leader attempts to get his chutzpah badge and tangles with a bear who keeps taking squirts. While in the camp, the council of leaders prepares for the coming of Moses. They meet the leader of the Jewish branch of anti-Semites who has a plan to bring back Haman. Kenny and Kyle to the rescue!
Chinpokomon: A new fad involving toys from Japan. Of course Kyle can't keep up with the fad. The toys start brainwashing all children to defeat the evil power which involves attacking Pearl Harbor. Wait till you see how the Japanese leaders deal with the concerns of the parents when they are found out! The parents save the day with this story with a tried and true way of parenting!
Starvin Marvin in Space: Starvin Marvin is back and discovers a space ship from Marklark. Marvins enlists the aid of the boys to help his people escape the missionaries. The government wants the ship and works with the Hut Sally Struthers to stop them. Pat Robertson and the 600 club also want to bring the word of God to the marklark
Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery: This was an ok little story that has the band Korn appear and deal with a Scooby-Doo mystery spoof. I never noticed the docks in South Park. ;)
Hooked on Monkey Phonics: Cartman is going to enter the spelling bee. His mom buys the Hooked on Monkey Phonics package to help him spell. A capuchin monkey plays the drums for him. At the contest two home schooled kids appear and even though Kyle was expected to win("You always bet on the Jew"), the two kids win. Kyle falls in love and the others want to duct tape the boy and his father to benches.
The Red Badge of Gayness: It's civil war re-enactment day. The boys are practicing their drum and flutes playing as they prepare to march with the Union. Cartman keeps messing up as he explains you have to beat the drum into submission. He breaks the drum and decides to join the South. A bet happens and Cartman decides to conquer the North and free the confederate states. His army swells as people get drunk on S'mores schnapps. He eventually decides to march on Washington. Memerable line: We sent the word for help and the entire state of South Carolina came"
Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics: This was a funny collection of South Park Christmas songs. I kind of liked "It's Christmas time in Hell" which features noted people like Hitler and Jimmy Stewart (runs by screaming Merry Christmas movie house!).
Are you there God? It's Me, Jesus: Nobody cares about Jesus anymore. This changes with the millennium. People are interested and he decides to hold a concert and tries to get dad to make an appearance. Cartman thinks he is growing up as he gets his period (he bleeds out his bum). It happens to Kenny. Kyle and Stan feel left out. Kyle decides to lie about it and Stan tries to figure out why it isn't happening to him. How to help? Chef and Doctor Mephesto.
World Wide Recorder Concert: The class is going to a 4 million recorder event to play "my country tis of thee" It's funny to watch Mr. Garrison trying to teach them. The boys run into some kids from New York who insults them to no end. They decide to get their revenge using the brown note. A note that causes people loose control of their bowels. There is a side story with Mr. Garrison where he has to come to grips with why his father (from Arkansas) didn't abuse him as a child.
There are commentaries but I didn't listen to them. Someday I will get around to it. |

| the third season of south park offers more episodes of the adventure of cartman, kenny, stan, and kyle. we see episodes from visiting the rainforest (with jen aniston as a guest voice), renactment of the civil war which then becomes real, the great chinpokomon fad, the christmas special were stan and kyle are killed, and of course the discovery of the brown note. unlike the first two season this one gets rid of the annoying short stints at the begining and just gives use the episode up front. so its time to get on your winter coat and head to south park. |
