"I've got a few beers to keep my buzz going!!!" LMAO
Great episode very funny. This is why I love South Park, Matt and Trey's ability to tackle a subject like Alcoholism and give their take on it.
Their take basically which I agree with is that Alcoholism isn't a disease but rather a conscious choice and act of stupidity and irresponsibility.
Enter Randy into the picture. Randy thinks he is dying when the AAA group he's in tells him that Alcoholism is a disease.
Naturally, this gives Randy the excuse to booze even more leading up to many hilarious situations like Randy shaving his head (like if he is a cancer patient), using a wheelchair to move on, and spreading that notion to other drinkers.
Then when a miracle is witnessed at a church statue, everybody comes to see it because of Bloody Mary's special gift to heal the sick.
This part of the story wasn't necessary but it falls into the main story about Randy boozing himself to death.
This is a hilarious episode, and I like the fact that Matt and Trey basically debunk the myth that Alcoholism is a disease but rather a conscious choice by the individual.
Hi, I'm Randy and I just really like beer. hide show
After receiving a DUI, Randy attends an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting where he realizes that he is powerless to control his drinking problem. But when a statue of the Virgin Mary begins to bleed, he sees it as a miracle that can cure him of his 'disease.' Ok, at first, I thought this episode woudl be really kind of out there but still be good. I was once again, wrong. This episode turned out to be really out there and really great. This was one of my favorite episodes of this series. I watch it over ands over again. The begginning is boring but the end is really good. Tagline:"Hi, I'm Randy and I just really like beer."-Randy Marsh
Another great Randy episode. hide show
I absolutely love Randy Marsh. Did that sound gay Uh, forget it. Randy once again proves that just when you thought he could not get any dumber, he does.
After Randy is arrested for DUI, he has to give a speech to Stan's class. I thought that this scene was great. As embarrased as Stan and Randy are, Ms. Garrison rubs it in even harder. The Virgin Mary plot in the story is pretty funny too. The statement that the Pope made left me sleeving off tears of laughter.
Another thing that made this episode great was the lesson we learn in the end. I won't give it away, you will have to tune in!
this episode teaches the lesson to me. hide show
well it's about being drunk,mkay?
it's about what happened to randy after drinking while driving a car.
you can connect that to the 'dont drink and drive' sign.
this teached me a lesson about family. about how to take care of them and never be a bad role-model because if you become a bad role-model to them,your child is going to go in a drunken-beer-bar and drink beer until he gets drunk and drive on a road and pay a fine.
i recommend everybody of all ages to watch this episode.
this episode is freakin' awesome! I think Stone and Parker just wanted to mock people who believe a piece of rock is able to cry. I live in Italy, a country full of sanctimonious, obtuse persons, and what I hate is the Church, not the Catholic religion. And I love the fact that this episode mocks the Pope, too.
