YouTubers Blooms and LS Mark (both whom currently have 250k or more subscribers) both called it their least favorite of all 300+ episodes. Many fans consider it at or near the bottom of the barrel. All the same, I’ve seen fans defend it. Fans of this episode do exist. If there’s one “you either love it or you hate it” South Park episode, I think it’s this one.
Side note: To me, it’s a fun, strange adventure with a tense, fast paced third act. Malcolm McDowell’s narration is the icing on the cake. I’d give it an 8/10. Truth be told, I initially had no idea this episode was unpopular, much less a common least favorite.
i’ve said this in previous posts, but I think it’s a generational thing.
younger fans don’t get it; those of us that grew up with it love it.
This episode is great i love the designs and voices of the characters
I liked it, I thought it was random but fun
I thought it was great. I like the idea of occasionally giving the viewers an entirely different experience than they were expecting as a joke. Very Pythonesque.
No
It’s a fantastic episode. Pocket asking for his bunnies back always kills me.
“notatall, I’m sure!”
I liked it, but I like Great Expectations
There are episodes I dislike more, such as the pioneers episode
I’d tell them to stop being a p-p-p- pussy
Not all, I’m sure!
Simply left a little baffled by such an asanine post.No cause for alarm! But I thank you good fag.
I don’t like the episode, but there are far worse episodes. And YouTubers opinions are just opinions.
I think the problem is like a lot of people I watched it when I was 10, had never seen masterpiece theatre, or read Great Expectations, and so missed all the satire.
Anything is better than Jakovasaurs.
Nahhhh Jakovasaurs is a great episode, don’t hate man
Agreed!
Agreed!
The Jakovasaurs were annoying as all hell, but they landed a solid burn on Memphis. Lice Capades will always be my least favorite episode.
I kinda wish we got more South Park retellings of classic literature with crazy final acts.
I enjoyed it. Agreed about McDowell, and I love how he just introduces himself as “A British Person.”
People often hate when shows try something really different, and I get it, but, when done right, the results are deeply interesting. Like how a lot of people hate “Fly” in Breaking Bad, but it’s genuinely one of the best episodes of the entire series.
