  • The most transphobic piece of crap on television.

    "Abysmal"
    By MichelleRosalyn, Aug 30, 2011 Report Abuse
    I cannot believe this episode was even allowed on the air. Do people hate transsexuals that much? First of all, you can't "become a woman." I know this is confusing, but if you seek sexual reassignment surgery, you are what you feel even without that surgery. If a transwoman gets SRS, turning her penis inside-out doesn't "make her a woman." She has been a woman all her life, just with the body of a "male." Being a girl or boy is more than the appearance, and the creators of South Park just don't get that. It's like saying that grape jelly in a jar labeled "Peanut Butter" is peanut butter. A woman in a body labeled "Man" is not a man at all. I don't know about Mr. Garrison, but a genuine transwoman is a real woman. This episode gives off the misleading fact that penis equals male. It doesn't. The creators of South Park try to be "clever" by using Kyle wanting to be "black," and Gerald wanting to be a "dolphin," but those comparisons are stupid to say the least. Being transracial or transspecies are different subjects entirely. I have opinions about those issues, but I won't discuss them here. Overall, this episode is hurtful, offensive, and misleading. It gives people the wrong idea and spreads intolerance. If I could erase South Park from existence, I would.moreless

  • A hilarious tale about plastic surgury and the effects it has on people.

    This story is basically about the difference between what people think of plastic surgury, and what it's actually like. Also this episode marks the time of when Mr. Garrison becomes Mrs. Garrison! He originally thinks that he has gotten a sex change to make him a women, but later realizes that he's still a man no matter what, only now he has a mutilated penis.

    I liked this episode because it was crazily off the wall, funny, and the ending is straight gut-wrenching.

  • This show's "Point of No Return"

    "Abysmal"
    By Batmanfan90, Feb 20, 2011 Report Abuse
    After 8 seasons of being a good show, on March 9, 2005, the show officially lost it: Garrison is now a woman.

    This is wrong for several reasons: 1)He was a glorified male character, 2) his problems regarding his sexual orientation were hilarious, and 3) it's just plain AWFUL.

    My recommendations: Watch seasons 1-6 for AWESOME stories, season 7 is okay, season 8 is absolutely HILARIOUS; skip this season. This is the one episode about which I'm willing to say, "Avoid at all costs."moreless

    "Bad"
    By Zeus-Guy, Feb 20, 2011 Report Abuse
    First of all, the live action highlights at the begining were really sick and disgusting to watch. OMG I almost threw up.
    Second, the characters didn't look very good. Black Kyle looked like a tall, dumb version of Starvin Marvin, Kyle's Dad looked totally stupid as a dolphin, and Garrison's sex change is a dumb idea; he was much better as a gay man than a woman. The creators might not consider it, but they should return Garrison to his old gay self.
    Everything else is still the same as before; good thing, changing it might mess up the show even more.
    Overal this episode is not a good way to kick off a new season. If I see anymore live action highlights like thoses at the begining, I might not consider watching anymore new episodes.moreless

    Kyle a tall black kid, Gerald a dolphin, that was pretty bad. But the opening scenes with Mr Garrison getting a sex change I knew I had to change the channel.
    I'd like to think that I have seen a lot of disgusting things in TV and Movies before and that my stomach is pretty tough, but I have never been grossed out that badly before.
    One of the best things about South Park is that its a show thats not afraid to stretch the limits, but you gotta know your limitations, this show went beyond them

    I want my half hour back!moreless

    • At the store if you look at the Claw machine you can see Clyde Frog in there. Edit
    • According to the DVD commentary on this episode, Trey Parker said he almost "pulled a Dave Chappelle", because he was disappointed with this episode and after having had such a stressful year in 2004 while making 14 episodes of South Park and working on Team America: World Police, wanted to leave South Park. He was apparently convinced to stay when they came up with the idea that Gerald Broflovski was half lawyer and half dolphin making him a "lawfin". Edit
    • This is one of the few episodes when we get to see Kyle's red "jew-fro." Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • Mr. Garrison is now female (now known as Mrs. Garrison) and because of the change Mr. Slave has left him(her)it. Edit
    • When Mr. Garrison is getting his 'vaginaplasty' they show actual clips of a sex change operation. In the episode commentary, Matt & Trey said they originally planned on having 4 minutes of actual surgery footage in the episode. Edit

    • Gerald: Excuse me, where do you have special seating for dolphins? Edit
    • Gerald: I love dolphins! Ever since I was a child I dreamed of… But that has hardly bearing on what I'm here to… (Dr. Biber interrupts) Dr. Biber: I can make you one. Edit
    • Sheila: Kyle, you have to accept your body the way it is! Kyle: Why do I have to accept it when I can change it? Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • In-Joke: Asspen Look closely in the background behind Kyle the dinner table. There is a photograph of Kyle's family when they went to Aspen in the Asspen episode. Edit
    • Chris Rock: When Kyle tries to talk his parents into the surgery, he holds up a picture of Chris Rock. Edit
    • Dr. Stanley Biber: Dr. Stanley Biber, now retired, was a world-reknowned sex reassignment surgeon at the Mount San Rafael Hospital in Trinidad, Colorado. However, he retired long before this episode first aired, so would it have been the real Dr. Biber? Of course knowing South Park, they do parodies all the time so this doctor could've simply been a parody of the real Biber with the same name. Edit
