    South Park Elementary gets a new student- son of Satan, Damien. Damien tries to scare the other kids with his powers but this does not work and the other kids treat him like crap. Will he get their respect? Meanwhile Satan and Jesus are going to have a fight, and the odds are on Satan to win. Good episode, one of my favorites from the first season. It had a relatively simply plot (for South Park standards) and although I did not laugh a lot it was still a pretty decent episode. Overall my final grade for this episode would fall somewhere in the "B" range. If it was funnier I'd give it an A probably.moreless

    Go Jesus! Jesus kicks the red butt of Satan in this hardcore episode.. or though he thinks. This episode was hilarious and doesn't seem to be offensive at all, although the sensitive people (who should go to prison for stupidity) probably are. This episode was hilarious and I enjoyed it.

    Like I said earlier, Satan makes a comeback and it for some reason happened to be in South Park. Now, Jesus has to go train while people are betting against him! This all starts when the Prince of Darkness's son comes to school and acts all crazy. This gets Chef's attention and then Jesus's.

    I enjoyed this episode.moreless

    I only remember half of Damien and it probably got silly nearer to the end anyway. This comedy show features many different plots and this is one of the most original and fresh new plots out of the whole eleven seasons so far. Damien (the son of Satan - who stars in Bigger, Longer & Uncut) does the job perfectly and the script/dialogue/animation suit the original-season episode. Not one of my favourites, but one of the best and most entertaining out of the 12-14 (is it?) episodes in Season One of the hit parody show South Park. This contains references and seemingly similiar scenes to the episode with the carpet-licker teacher later on.

  • A good episode, its amazing plot made it a good episode.

    Yes, this episode was very good, but not the best.

    Again, this episode was too much towards the plot instead of the humor. Humor barely made this episode and when it did, it was just the same boring crap from "Volcano".

    Either way, the plot made it interesting. This episode has to be the most script and plotted of South Park for many seasons to come.

    Also, this episode's fighting scenes were pathetic. I tought it would have bad-ass fights like the in "pilot" episode, but no. They had to be too cheap and make up a crap fight.

    Either way, this episode is very good plotwise. If you need a laught, don't watch this episode.moreless

    • This was the only South Park episode where Satan was portrayed as being outrightly evil; in other episodes he's a lot more effeminate and insecure. Edit
    • During the Jesus/Satan fight, a visitor can be seen among the crowd. Edit
    • continuously throughout the episode, whenever we see the 3rd grade classroom the numbers 666 appear in red with the rest of the numbers on the wall. The black board reads some calculations and mathematical formulas, amongst them 2x + 3y + 1 = 666 Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES

    • Stan: Holy Crap Dude, Satan's huge! Jimbo: Now that's is the guy who has been eating a lot of beef. Edit
    • (Damien is having an appointment with Mr. Mackey, asking why the other kids don't like him just because he burns and kills them) Mr. Mackey: Wh-wh-what you need to do, uh, Damien is...is to be overly nice. See, n-no matter how mean the other kids are to you, just don't retaliate. Err, be passive, mmm'kay? That's what I taught the little British boy, Pip, an-and just look at how much the other children like him now! (scene changes to the playground, a group of kids are gathered around Pip) Clyde: I bet I could spit the most on him! (spits on his left shoulder Bebe: Oh, yeah? I bet I could spit in his hair! (spits in his right eye) Pip: Oh! Nice try! A little higher and you've got it! Edit
    • Mr. Garrison: Children, children! Today is a very special day. Cartman: No, my birthday isn't until Saturday. Mr. Garrison: I'm not talking about your birthday, Eric! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Monty Python and the Holy Grail: When Satan threatens Jesus by saying "I'm going to smash your face into little bits", it's a reference to the character Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, who used almost the exact same description for what the Rabbit of Caerbannog does to its victims. Edit
    • Fiveman: The Megaman figures' helmet designs bear a strong resemblence to the characters in the japanese series Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman. Edit
    • Current Event/Nancy Kerrigan: Stan gives a long motivational speech to Jesus about Nancy Kerrigan only to realize that she did not win a gold medal and so ditched the speech. Kerrigan of course was a figure skater who was attacked in 1994 by Shane Stant who was hired by competitor Tonya Harding's husband Jeff Gillooly. Kerrigan had to withdraw from the Olympics that year due to her injury and Harding won. That infamous incident was a sports scandal as is Satan throwing the fight. Edit
