  • Funny, But Ends Season 9 Thunder Streak

    Well this was a really funny episode, although it just wasn't funny enough to carry on the 7 episode funny streak of season 9. The kids get tricked by two Whale narrator dorks who speak through some speakers and make it look like an Orca Whale is talking. The joke goes to 'South Park mode', and goes crazy, to where the boys of South Park devise a plan to partner with some Mexicans to ship an Orca to the moon, as the Whale supposedly told them that it was from the moon. Then the two dorky Whale narrators from the sea park have to try and stop them, but meet trouble with the A.L.F. (Animal Liberation Front). The ALF seems to believe the boys are shipping the whale to the ocean, until they find out in the very end. This was a pretty funny episode, but I didn't quite think it aided in the Greatest funny episode streak of south park during Season 9.moreless

    sketches were my fav part . I really liked the drawings of the boys. I thought that was pretty cool. Other than that it was an average episode. Kind of boring when I was watching it. Again, those drawings were really cool. Its like you get to see what they would look like in real life. I liked Stan Kenney Kyle and Cartman in that order. I didn\\\'t like the end credits . I thought that was way to sad to have a dead whale over the end credits but hey its South park so what do you expect .moreless

    Free Willyx - A talking whale inspires the fourth-graders to risk everything to return him to his family. With the police on their tails, the boys enlist the help of a foreign government and embark upon an adventure you'll not soon forget. One in which the boys learn just how far you would go for a friend. In Russia, the government is looking for a way to raise money and they take a call from Kyle who wants to hire them to take Willzyx to the moon. When they give their price of $20 million, Kyle tries to explain what they are really trying to do. The Russians interpret his explanation as a prank call from George Bush. The boys decide to shop around for a third world country with a cheaper space program and they need to hide the whale. Since everyone is on the lookout for the whale, if it remains outside, eventually someone will see it. At the Sea Park in Denver, protesters from the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) have gathered to applaud the whale liberators. Brian and Mike are in South Park looking for the whale; they find the pool behind Clyde's house, along with a broken fence. While looking at the pool, they find whale feces, but see that the whale and the boys are gone. The whale is inside, in Kyle's bedroom to be exact, where the boys are keeping him wet. Kyle is on the phone with the Japanese while Jimmy, Timmy and Tweek are at the Chinese Embassy, but everyone's price is too high. Stan and Craig are in Mexico, where they find that MASA (Mexican Aeronutica y Spacial Administracin) will take their whale to the moon for $200. Brian and Mike find out that the boys are going to Tijuana.

    The boys are on the road to Tijuana when their truck is stopped by Brian and Mike. The hosts are about ready to tell the boys the truth, when the police arrive, but the ALF comes to their rescue as the whale is saved in a hail of gunfire. Mike and one of the police officers are killed by the ALF during the firefight. The ALF leader drives the van for the boys as they resume their trip to Tijuana. In Tijuana, the rocket is being prepared. The ALF leader and the boys crash through the Mexican border, and the boys work on getting the whale into the water. They get the whale into the water and the ALF is declaring victory when, to their surprise, the manager of Sea Park and everyone else present watch the Mexican rocket get launched into space, with a whale in tow while a mariachi band plays to celebrate Mexico's first successful space project. The boys celebrate their victory back home; meanwhile, on the moon, the asphyxiated whale lies dead. The end credits roll over this shot in silence.moreless

    This episode starts when the boys go to Sea World and Kyle stays behind to see Wilzyx (one of the whales). The announcers make it look like Wilzyx was talking and tells Kyle that he is from the moon and wants to get home. Then they call all the countries to see how much it would be to take Wilzyx to the moon. They finally get Mexico to use their rocket for two hundred dollars. So then they kidnap Wilzyx and heads to Mexico. This episode was cool for me because when I was a little kid I went to Sea World and loved it. This was a very good episodemoreless

    • When the boys are presenting the plan to free the whale to the rest of the kids, they use a "Jazzerstep" platform to stand on. Edit

    • NASA: The Space station the boys went to in Mexico, MASA, is a pun on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It most likely stands for Mexican Aeronautics and Space Administration. Edit
