User Reviews

Only worth watching if you just /have/ to see all South Park episodes.

This is without a doubt the worst episode of South Park ever. And that really isn't an exaggeration. I really didn't think South Park /could/ possibly be this bad!

This episode is unintelligent, boring and predictable. No moral story neither for that matter.

Me and my friends can't imagine anyone enjoying this. Unless... you enjoy really... really bad episodes of Looney Tunes.

The episode sounds very promising. You get to see Towlie again! And with the title "Crippled Summer" you might remember moments such as when Timmy and Jimmy went to join "the Crips" and think that this episode can't be anything but hilarious. Right? WRONG!

The entire episode consists of a parody "Intervention show" now that Towlie is into heavier drugs than marijuana. The intervention isn't funny nor well done, unfortunately. Other than that we get to see Nathan and Mimsy try to sabotage Jimmys team at the cripple camp! Funny? No. Every plan fails in a predictable and brain-dead Looney Tunes manner.

I really tried to enjoy this... but it really is impossible. I doubt it will even be funny if you're stoned.

This could be a great episode. But it just isn't.
