So yeah, I could totally buy that many out there thought it's a snuff film. It's also very believable that the actually antisemitic Cartman would take the most extreme viewpoint from his experience of the film.
Poor Kyle though, having to hang out with a dick like Cartman and then ended up admitting he was right. At least Cartman got some great karmic vengeance (or should we say "divine interference") this time.
Hilarious adult animation that takes jabs at everyone, regardless of which side of the political spectrum you're on. I love how relevant it keeps being even in 2025, showing Matt and Trey's consistent effort to stay one step ahead of the trending media.

South Park takes on the look of Japanese Anime. The boys are transformed into Japanese Warriors after they buy martial arts weapons at a local flea market. Their sworn enemy, Professor Chaos, confronts them and a highly stylized battle ensues.
And this is why South Park is the greatest animated series, period, bar none. Not even BoJack could match the sheer insanity, creativity, and most of all, audacity of South Park. The anime sequences were hilarious, but it's the amazingly crude and self-mocking lyrics that officially sealed this animated series as "The American Gintama", which pulled this kind of self-aware mockery on other anime while also imitating their artstyle all the time. lmao
And Jesus Christ, I believe this might have been the first time Stan and his friends were involved in an actual serious crime, not even a quirky or unrealistic prank, but a misdemeanor you could picture real kids being stupid enough to pull. You know you screwed up when Cartman calls you out on your act being screwed up, Kenny. lmao Poor Butters. I was actually as horrified by their acts as the kids.

Jimmy is in training for an upcoming sporting event and he’s determined to win at any cost. Cartman feels he can easily take first place against Jimmy. He just has to convince the qualifying committee he’s handicapped.
Cartman at his absolute worst again, but at least he gets punished this episode.
Also, I love that they use "Push It to the Limit" for the training montage instead of something like "Eye of the Tiger" or "Gonna Fly Now", considering Scarface and its themes.

Kyle finally sees “The Passion” and is forced to admit Cartman has been right all along. Meanwhile many of the film’s hardcore fans band together under Cartman’s leadership to carry out it’s message.
"Poe's Law" in its simplest definition is essentially that an extreme satire can be hard to be distinguished from a genuine expression. When "Passion of the Christ" was released back in 2004, I was a mere teenager who had not seen the film (nor will I ever), but even then, a Singaporean like me did hear rumors of how violent it supposedly was, and even my mum, the hardcore Christian, was disturbed.

It’s up to Stan to put a team of South Park’s best dancers together to compete against a rival troupe from Orange County. While Butters has won awards for his dancing, he refuses to help Stan out, as he hasn’t been able to dance since the tragic death of eight audience members at his last competition.
Every dance movie, ever. I love the playing of the tropes. It feels like Step Up meets 8 Mile meets Karate Kid (you could even hear a sample of "Lose Yourself" when Randy told Stan, "Give 'em hell, kid.").
And that ending is just classic South Park, because how else would the Orange County Crew get served?
