Welcome back to what has become a weekly occurrence here at Nerd With Words: The South Park Review. This week’s episode played out like a classic from Season 3, or maybe the cat plot just reminded me of Cat Orgy. Either way, this was the best episode of the season, avoiding the shaky “messages” from the previous two weeks. Plus, Matt and Trey once again prove you can never go wrong with a bunch of boobs.

Hit Play To See Kenny Get Cheesed!

Now that we’re in season 12, the show sometimes strays too far from its stable of supporting characters and settings, but this episode gets back to basics and it feel surprisingly fresh. It opens in the classroom with the kids getting a lecture from Mr. Mackey. Mackey runs down a list of all the things kids can do to get high, such as choking each other out, and getting sprayed in the face with cat urine. He gives a little too much detail on the cat urine high, so naturally the kids want to try it. They go back to Cartman’s house and use Mr. Kitty and Kenny as guinea pigs to see if it works. The cat marks its territory right in Kenny’s face and he’s sent off, cheesing balls. By the way, that cat spray was hilarious. Got a huge pop from my side of the couch. And now the episode is off and running, because Kenny’s just been hurled into the movie “Heavy Metal.”

Now, I may be a Nerd, but I freely admit I’ve never seen “Heavy Metal.” Everything I know from Heavy Metal, I gleaned from the poster and the trailer above. There are lots of animated boobs. And that’s pretty much all you need to appreciate their spoof of it. I love that cartoon characters who get high on South Park are sent to another cartoon style. It’s a great touch that someone on drugs might point out while watching the show. I’m totally sober. I swear. Anyway, during his trip, Kenny’s in his personal heaven: surrounded by giant, bouncing boobs (much like when he got into heaven at the end of the South Park movie). When he comes to, Kenny is trying to take his clothes off in the middle of town, and the boys are obviously concerned.

Next, we get a news package reporting kids getting high from concentrated cat urine. They dub it “cheesing” and I can guarantee I’m not the only one who Googled it after this episode. Gerald, Kyle’s dad, plans to outlaw all cats in town in an attempt to cut the problem off at its source. But since Cartman loves Mr. Kitty so much, he hides him in the attic, Anne Frank-style. This subplot carries through the episode, with Cartman harboring more and more kitties. The only problem I have with it is that it’s a little out of character for Cartman to care about anything, let alone stray cats. His love of Hitler is well documented, which means his love of Mr. Kitty is bigger than his hatred of Jews.

The last half of the episode deals with Kyle’s parents finding a cat he took from Kenny. There’s a great sight gag of the cat in a ziploc bag, as if it were any other drug. Kyle’s dad ends up taking it in the basement and getting cheesed himself. At the same time, Cartman goes up to the attic to drop off another kitty, only to find Kenny cheesing on all the hidden cats. The climax comes when Gerald and Kenny enter “Heavy Metal” combat to see who caresses some “awesome bewbage.” At this point, the amount of animated breasts is so over the top, even the men, buildings, and weaponry are covered in boobs. In reality, they’re fighting half-naked in a sandbox with the whole town watching. As Gerald apologizes, we get a nice Eliot Spitzer press conference reference and find out that Kenny has moved on to another drug. Remember kids, addicts will always find a way to get high!

By sticking with a simple storyline, “Major Boobage” was easily the strongest episode of South Park this season, and reminded me that they don’t have to stray too far from town to have an interesting story. You know, only to a cartoon from 1981. Seriously though, you really can’t argue against an episode overrun with rockin’ tits and cat piss.
