DARTH CHEF~! Oh man, that was bloody brilliant

[Tarheels.]

well that was a great way to end Chef...Darth Chef. "Would you like to suck on my chocolate salty balls". "Oh you mean like a treat". "No....I mean my balls"

[SlickNick187]

That was a great episode. I never expected anything like that to happen to Chef. It should be another good season.

[Evisruc]

Holy shit. Ingenious.

I knew they would tear him into shreds

And literally to boot.

Really was a great send-off for Chef, and quite possibly the nicest thing ever done on South Park. While they still completely mocked his religion and him for quitting, it was still a very kind way to say goodbye. Best episode in a long time, and the show has been on a non-stop roll since season 7.

Does it really take FOUR threads to talk about South Park? Merge'd.

-- EDIT: I just watched the episode, I actually felt a tange of sadness

Funny episode. Wonder if we'll see Darth Chef again sometime this season. (Y)

[Herr Matzat]

Alright, I'm looking at getting a couple more seasons of South Park on DVD. Not sure what's the good ones, and what's worth my money?

I have seasons 4 and 5 already.

Seasons 1, 2, 3 = 19.99 each

Season 6 = 24.99

Season 7 = 29.99

What one(s) to get? Recommendations?

[Lowerdeck]

60 euros for three discs, ouch.

Alright, I got seasons 6 and 7 yesterday. Set me back nearly $60 (with MA sales tax), but it's good stuff.

From Yahoo!

The satiric cable TV cartoon "South Park" drew hefty ratings with the launch of its 10th season, cashing in on a recent clash with the Church of Scientology and the departure of one of the show's few adult heroes.

Wednesday's season debut of the crudely animated hit on the Comedy Central network, featuring a return of the lusty "Chef" character formerly voiced by soul singer Isaac Hayes, drew 3.5 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research reported on Thursday.

That made "The Return of Chef!" the highest-rated episode of "South Park" since December 2004 and surpassed the show's average audience from last season by nearly 1 million viewers.

It also marked the show's highest-rated season premiere since 2002 among viewers aged 18 to 49, the audience group most prized by advertisers.

The episode was ostensibly billed as a homecoming tribute to Hayes' character, school cafeteria cook James "Chef" McElroy, who had long served as adult confidant to the foul-mouthed fourth graders in the fictional town of South Park, Colorado.

Hayes, 63, himself a follower of Scientology, said last week that he was leaving the show because of its "inappropriate ridicule" of religion. Although he made no mention of it at the time, a spokeswoman said the "last straw" for Hayes was an episode last November lampooning Scientology and its celebrity adherents, including actor Tom Cruise.

Comedy Central then abruptly pulled a scheduled repeat of the episode, titled "Trapped in the Closet," and series creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker issued a statement suggesting the Church of Scientology was behind that move.

Sources close to the show said the rerun was canceled after Cruise threatened to boycott promotion of his upcoming film, "Mission: Impossible III," for sister studio Paramount Pictures. A spokesman for Cruise denied that charge.

Stone and Parker fanned the flames further with Wednesday's episode, which alluded to their parody of Scientology last fall without making explicit mention of the church.

In the episode, Chef falls under the influence of the "Super Adventure Club," a secretive group that worships pedophilia and brainwashes its members into becoming child molesters.

In the climax to the episode, the kids of South Park try to rescue Chef, but he falls off a bridge into a ravine, where he is impaled on a tree trunk and mauled by wild animals. At the very end members of the club try to revive Chef, and he is transformed into a Darth Vader-like character.

A spokesman for Comedy Central said lines of dialogue spoken by Chef in the season premiere were edited together by the producers from previous episodes.

Both Comedy Central and Paramount are owned by Viacom Inc.

I have a download link for the episode, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it here. Am I allowed to?

[Xero Gravity]

I wouldn't just to be on the safe side, but offer it to people who want to see it in a PM? I've see about the first five minutes of it on youtube but that's about it, so I'd love to see it all the way through.

[StevenRichardsRules]

There are remnants on you tube. Like 6 fragments. It was a pain, but I watched it.

[Hellfire]

Another great episode by Matt and Trey. They have really been hitting their stride in the past couple years and this looks no different.

(It's not youtube, so the chances of it getting deleted are less likely... Fucking YouTube)

EDIT: Plus, it loads faster. And it's clearer.

Good God, Chef Returns is fucking gold. :lmao:

[GoGo Yubari]

I have to say, this is a dead-on stab at Family Guy. Really, really funny (especially since I don't like FG all that much).
