User Reviews

THE best Christmas special ever, period!...for any show:)

I'm on my "South Park" rerun mode and nostalgia came rushing in as I rejoiced once again over this 3rd season SP episode. To put it lightly, this X-mas special is pure genius and not even Trey Parker and Matt Stone managed to outdo themselves ever again.

But how can anyone hold that against them, this episode alone has more die-hard laughter material than most TV sitcoms can muster in their best season. The first time I saw it I distinctly remember gasping for air because I was laughing so hard, and my sister peed her pants. To this day, on every 24th of December, while I decorate the Christmas tree the majority of the songs play in the background. I guess I'm post-modern;)

Kick-ass!...one of my all-time favourite SP episodes
