Damn. I’ve seen me some good South Park stuff.
Nothing Matt and Trey have done matches Critter Christmas. I laughed so hard, I couldn’t breathe.
Wrong in so many ways and right in so many more.
That’s gotta be some of the weirdest shit I’ve seen in half-hour television. Seriously. For a second I thought it was going to turn into a Very Special South Park again, but nope. Pure gold.
My roommate came home after it aired and I was trying to describe it, but I just couldn’t do it justice. His jaw did drop, though, when I told him about the BLOOD ORGY!!!
I thought I would pass out from laughing so hard. Man, who knew Santa was such a badass with a sawed-off?
damnit, do I have to find a way to watch it now?
“Santa, you’re not going to kill me, are ya?” ("Ka-chick. Ba-Doom!)
It really says something about South Park that a Christmas episode involves the son of Satan being orally “aborted” from a little boy’s ass by a mountain lion.
Even when I used to do drugs I never could have thought of something like that.
And Santa with the shotgun was great.
STAN: I didn’t mean to help them. I tried to stop them.
SATAN: Well, good going, stupid.
Even though I saw the son of Satan thing coming when they said a lion that always killed their savior the episode rocked.
I loved how the story almost could have been shuffled into continuity, but instead they had it be Eric’s fucked up Christmas story that had the quick bit about Kyle dying of AIDS.
My Dad and brother and I were speechless with laughter throughout the episode. The insanity of the episode stunned us.
“Our powers grow by the day, by the day.”
Is this some sort of biblical thing? How did you see it coming?
“No, Stan. There’s only one way to deal with satan-worshipping critters.”
Ch-chick. Boom.
Best. Christmas. Episode. Ever.
for any series.
Peace.
Did you think God was going to have sex with a porcupine?
I missed the first couple of minutes…and for the rest of it, I was laughing so hard that I had trouble breathing.
Well done, Matt & Trey! Thanks for reminding us about the true meaning of Christmas…and what any rational person should do when confronted by demonic creatures—get a bigger mallet. 
You’re in luck! It’s just three days before Christmas, so I’ve lots of abortions to perform!
And I thought Mr. Garrison’s multi-ethnic Christmas song would never be topped. 
Perhaps a reference to Aslan? I’m just guessing here.
Just before it started, I said to my GF, “South Park usually has pretty good Christmas episodes.”
But this was just awesome. I was so glad I caught it first run.
By the way, why do they still have “Isaac Hayes as Chef” in the credits when he doesn’t seem to be on the show anymore?
Really made the series finale of Drawn Together look pretty weak by comparison.
Series finale? But … but … it said “To be continued” !!!
“Why did you kill our mommy, Stan?”
Freaking hilarious. I really liked Stan’s annoyance with the narrator. Even in his own story, Cartman annoys people!
A few random thoughts:
-
“Hey, Let’s sacrifice Rabbity and eat his flesh” “YES! Sacrifice me to the dark lord!”
-
The Blood Orgy. Almost as funny as a puppet pile driver!
-
And they all lived happily ever after…except Kyle who died of AIDS two weeks later! HAH! I almost rolled off the bed when Kyle yelled “Cartman” in the fantasy. I started laughing right away and had to rewind it to hear the next bit of dialgoue.
-
Santa’s Shotgun cracked me up. From the moment I saw all those cute and furry creatures, I KNEW they would die a violence, SHOTGUN-RELATED death. I just didn’t know it would be SANTA! And there is just something funny about cocking a shotgun with one hand.
-
Anal Abortion. The look on Kyle’s face was hilarious.
-
I loved the animal names. Porcupiney Porcupine.
Oh! And Santa raising the dead. Was that a swipe at the Pagean commercialization of Christmas?
I’m not sure, but there* is * a precedent of people rising from the dead in Christianity. Jesus, Lazarus, and maybe others. I think Asterion may be right about the Aslan reference.
