Now that enough time has lapsed, we can all have a good laugh over South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's amusing little April Fools prank, in which they kicked off the show's second season not with the conclusion to season one's cliffhanger that would reveal the identity of Cartman's father, but with an all-Terrance, all-Phillip, all-farting episode, "Not Without My Anus." The ensuing outcry illustrated just how seriously its devoted fans take South Park. There is little evidence of sophomore slump in this three-disc collection of 18 episodes that continue the coming-of-age trials of third graders Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny. There is considerable shock value just in the episode titles alone, among them "Cojoined Fetus Lady," "Merry Christmas, Charlie Manson," and the infamous "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut." But mostly, the episodes are just--in Cartman's words--hella funny. "Spookyfish" is a creepfest about a killer fish, possessed animals, and alien alter egos (in which the so-called Evil Cartman is much nicer than the real Cartman) presented in Spookyvision, with pictures of Barbra Streisand framing the screen. "Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls" is a hilarious send-up of the Sundance Film Festival and the indie film scene that marks the return of Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo, and ends with the burial of Robert Redford in excrement. As always, hard-earned life lessons provide South Park with fertile territory for skewed and subversive social commentary. In "Chicken Lover," Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is an argument against literacy. "Underwear Gnomes" makes a strong case for corporate takeover of local family business. It is difficult to respect Warner Bros.' "authoritah" with the scant DVD extras. There are no commentaries, but Parker and Stone are present to introduce most of the episodes, each of which they proclaim to be their favorite. But their incarnations as abusive retirement center entertainers and as the hosts of an all-bacon cooking show fall flat. Bring back Rootin'-Tootin' Trey Parker and Pistol-Slingin' Matt Stone from the Season One set! --Donald Liebenson

 Hilarious!!! November 18, 2008
I have enjoyed this show from the beginning, and some of the funniest episodes are in the first 2 seasons. I am very glad that I bought this DVD set!
Its South Park November 7, 2008
Of course its awesome Its South Park. A group of foul mouth 4th graders that are bombarded with some of the most rediculous and offensive shinanagins imaginable.
as great as the first season. September 23, 2008
the whole season at a time is great to watch and we have really enjoyed it.
 "Respect my authorit-ah..." June 25, 2008
A much better season than number one was. This is also the season with the most episodes, so you at least will find one good episode.
This season starts off with an April Fool's joke. The last episode of the first season was "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut", the first hangover episode in which Cartman is trying to find out who his father is. The conclusion WAS supposed to air, but since it was April Fool's Day, they aired another episode instead, "Not Without My Anus" which was about Terrence and Philip, the two dirty Canadians who have their own show on the show. The episode itself is not very funny, but the fact that they played an April Fool's joke on the audience is a hilarious way to start out the season. The next episode, "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut", we find out who Cartman's dad is...
In the episode "Chickenlover", we get one of Cartman's most famous lines ever. "RESPECT MY AUTHORIT-AH!" This is one of the better episodes of the season as Officer Barbrady shows a huge level of incompetency in one of his few episodes. And he also can't read.
"Roger Ebert Should lay off the Fatty Foods" is NOT about Roger Ebert, he only appears as a constellation. The two funny things in here are Cartman and the Plane-arium director. Cartman is trying to be the kid who sings in the Cheesy Poof commercial. "I love Cheesy Poofs, you love Cheesy Poofs. If we didn't eat Cheesy Poofs, we'd be...lame." On the flip side, we have the Plane-arium director who has a wierd bone disease which prevents him from saying the "t" in plane-arium. This is his only funny line, but it's hilarious. Oh, and Mr. Mackey has a funny scene, too. MIND MELD! "Hey, you're blocking my chi...m'kay?"
"Chef Aid" has that lawyer who won O.J. Simpson's case. That is probably the funniest it gets, but it IS funny. "Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, listen to what I say. See here. This is Chewbacca. He is a Wookie who lives on Endor where the Ewoks live. Now that does NOT MAKE SENSE!"
All in all, a better season than its predecessor. It gives one of the greatest lines ever and certainly helps propel South Park into more hilarious misadventures.
