South Park (TV Series) Cripple Fight (2001) User Reviews

What a great audience

[RainDogJr · 9/10 · 3 January 2009]

At one point in this episode we see people inside the church, is all normal but suddenly Cartman enters to the church screaming "CRIPPLE FIGHT!" and everyone leaves the church! Certainly this episode is remarkable for introducing the great character Jimmy and is remarkable also and simply because it is a really great one!

When the boys enter to the scouts Big Gay Al is the scout leader but he will be fired because of his big homosexuality. On the other hand we have a very jealous Timmy because of the arrival of Jimmy, a handicapped boy who is a stand-up comedian and who quickly gains the love of the South Park people and certainly of all the South Park fans.

Very memorable episode, is great because Timmy knows how things works in South Park so he knows that Kenny must die then he gives to Jimmy as a present an orange coat! These two will have a great fight but they will be best friends, well that's what Jimmy thinks, Timmy has other very hilarious plan. Oh and the replacement for Big Gay Al turned to be a f****** pedophile and Big Gay Al will be seen at one point as a homophobic. A great episode.

Something from Trey and Matt's mini commentary: they thought Jimmy was going to be a one-time character. They were recording these Season 5 commentaries when they were working on the episode Pre-School. That episode aired on November 10 2004.

Cripple Fight!(minor spoilers)

Cripple Fight is a fairly funny South PArk episode.It introduces the character "Jimmy".Another disabled boy like TImmy, who can actually speak and make jokes(albeit with a speech-impediment).Timmy is jealous that everybody likes him.Him and Jimmy start hating each other and then a fight between them ensues(like in the movie "They Live).Meanwhile, Big Gay Al is sad because the scouts will not allow homosexuals into their club.The parents are concerned that Big Gay Al would molest their children.They get a new big and strong war-vet scoutmaster(who turns out to be a pedophile himself).The boys do not like him(they are oblivious to the fact that he is a pedophile) and try to get gays accepted into scouts.This is an interesting and good episode with some very funny moments!

"Attention shoppers...in the parking lot...Cripple fight..."

[KUAlum26 · 12 April 2009]

The summary line comes from a line Cartman delivers to a crowded shopping center. It's the climax scene of this ep where South Parks resident disabled hero,the wonderful Timmy,faces stiff competition from the new disabled kid,a palsied comedian named Jimmy. Meanwhile,the scouts--for which all the boys including the two just mentioned--gets a shake-up when Big Gay Al is no longer allowed to head the scouts because he's--SURPRISE!--gay. His replacement,a Mr.Slippyfist(really)turns out to be something worse,much to the too-late-chagrin of the parents. The resulting re-verb furor over the discrimination rounds out the episode,and the overall result is blissful comedy. While the politics of this show has a scrambled yet slightly Republicna feel to it(and really,not too many of these dhows DIDN'T have that),it should still please most viewers of "South Park",maybe even winning over a few converts. Just one of the MANY great eps,much of them from a five year period(1999-03)where the show was at its most purely creative IMHO. Worth TiVo-ing,for sure.

Such a great call back!

The actual Cripple Fight is nearly a shot-for-shot remake of the famous fight scene in John Carpenter's "They Live" between Roddy Piper and Keith David, which makes it even more funny!

One of the best episodes ever.

If you are a huge south park fan, you need to watch this episode. Everyone needs to see this episode. Jimmy is one of south parks best characters. From beginning to the end, the episode is extremely funny.

Every South park fan needs to watch this!

Jimmy is one of my favorite characters and this episode of one of the best episodes of season 5.

South Parks early seasons really wouldve benefitted from not being politically motivated.

Like the flag episode from the earlier season, this episode is servicable on its own, but the whole contrived point that "We should exclude gay people because freedom" that not only contradicts itself (there is no freedom if your freedom is restricted by innate things), but its also very cringey and hard to watch.
