    Chef aid is a great episode that I just happened to see at 2:30 at night. In south park's syndicated version.
    Story: After a big song company plays the songs "stinky briches" chef says it's his song. Which it is. So the producer sues him. Chef almost wins if it weren't for the chewbacca defence.... So chef has to make 2000 dollers fast before they take him to jail. He tries numerous amount of ways, but then the kids get all the old singers that help chef in a funraiser. After that, chef wins.
    Bottom lline: A awesome episode. Five words. I am above the law!moreless

    One of the memorable episodes, Chef Aid is a Season Two section where Chef (voiced by the singer - I can't remember what his name is but oh well) is sent to prison and the kids try to raise bail to get him out by gathering up lots of singers known by Chef bore to raise a concert to get the money for Chef to come out of jail and to make them food again.
    A good episode witha fresh plot, this episode is interesting :D Even if it can be boring and doesn't make you laugh out loud
    :) Okay episode.moreless

    This episode struck me in a way. The whole "If Chef doesn't come up with the $2 million, then he will go to jail, for 8 million years!!" was hilarious and the record producer guy was just plain evil. I liked Johnny Cochran in this episode, that guy really can work miracles. It was interesting to see how Chef had affected these people's lives ableit just in a cartoon. The side story of Mr Garrison's puppet face-off was a bsolutely hilarious, that Mr. Hat is just plain evil. I had a good laugh at Elton John's lyrics beforehand and the fact that Meatloaf was called Cous-Cous.moreless

    This super-hyped episode was decent, but it really got repetitive at times, just exhibiting one band after another and ending with Kenny’s death as the ultra-predictable punch line. Chef-centered episodes never really do it for me, either (I think he’s a great supporting character). The subplot in which Mr. Twig is constantly beat up on by Mr. Hat is amusing, but not nearly what we’ve come to expect.

    In this episode, Chef goes to Jail because of harrassing a Record Company who stole his song [that producer was a ****], and Mr Garrison deals with the loss of Mr Twig, and the return of Mr Hat. Good O.J. jokes, good music, good Grinch = Johnnie Cochran gags, good episode. Oh and we find out that Mr Hat is alive gotta say that... since I used up over 70 words, why not put in the entire "Chewbacca Defense" in here, I already wrote enough anyway?

    "Johnny Cochran: Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself! But, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about that; that does not make sense! Gerald: Dammit!

    Chef: What?

    Gerald: He's using the Chewbacca Defense!

    Johnny Cochran: Why would a wookie, an 8 foot tall wookie, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks? That does not make sense! But more importantly, you have to ask yourself, 'what does that have to do with this case?' Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests."moreless
