    Cheesin'! hide show

    Getting high via cat urine: A very unusual topic, even by South Park standards. But it was good of the writers to bring up the more unusual drug practises. I myself can't believe that there are actually people who get high, if not by that, then by similar methods. But enough of the morality lecture, on to the episode itself.

    As always, this episode provided an interesting and hilarious parallel to both historic and current events. The "cheesing" trips were completely surreal; For me, watching Kenny and Gerald duel in the "breastruary" was the highlight of the episode. This episode also stands out for me because of Cartman: For the first time in a long while, the foul-mouthed, racist kid does something purely out of the goodness of his heart. He hides and protects the fugitive cats of South Park, without even asking for some kind of payment. Of course, he completely failed to notice the similarity of the cats' predicament to the jews during the Holocaust, but if he did, he just wouldn't be Cartman.

    All in all, this was a solid episode, and I hope to see more of it's calibre in future.

    The boys try to help their friend as he goes on his first drug encounter. hide show

    Drugs. Most people seem to get caught up into this. Whether it be pills, dope, heroine, or sniffing glue, there are always people there to get high. Now the latest craze comes out. Cat excretions. Kenny gets hooked and finds himself sucked into the world of boobs. the world is a reference to that found in "Heavy metal," in which a girl is told stories by this glowing orb of vile energy. The music heard in this episode was taken from the movie. However, only one song actually coincides with the exact part of the movie. This part is when Gerald is flying the bomber(not sure what kind, maybe a B-52)and the song "Heavy Metal" by Don Felder is playing in the background. the other songs heard are "Radar Rider" which plays when Kenny and Gerald are going to fight, and the song "Heavy Metal" by Sammy Hagar. In contrast, these songs are heard at different times in the show and movie. In the show we hear Hagar's version when Kenny is driving the car, but in the movie it was "Radar Rider." But still, the episode was done very well and is one of my favorites of this season.

    Kenny gets caught in the latest drug craze and cartman hides cats in his attic. hide show

    This episode is hillairious! It's about the latest drug craze called cheesing where they use a cat to spray urine on yuor face and you end up in a weird world with a lot boobs. (It's a parody of the film Heavy metal. I won't spoil anything else but it's just terrific. Another I liked about the episdoe was that Kenny finally had a significant role in the series since Kwnny Dies which was way back in the 5th season. Until this, he was just simply a background charecter that only had 2 speaking roles and not a lot of screntime as well. and are there complaints... no. This was just a good episode, with outstanding plots, comedy, and charecter development. I recommend it to any fan of south park.

    5 Mediocre

    I know I love Kenny, but this episode is just ridiculous... hide show

    There are factors here that simply made me disgusted about it.

    1.) Cheesing (I know they can make a better one than that)

    2.) Cat urine (Drug used to cheese)

    It's not cool, nor pitiful, it's disgusting

    3.) Cartman jumped the shark because of those cats

    I'm not used to see Cartman being kind, very out of character.
    It's possible since the loss of Clyde frog I suppose.

    But, there are some parts I liked

    1.) It's about Kenny

    About time they made about him, Go Ken!

    2.) Mixture of 2D and 3D animation

    3.) Satire on Eliot Spitzer

    Never thought of the satire to be that way, but oh well

    4.) the Boy's concern for Kenny

    They actually care for him for once, except in Kenny Dies though.

    5.) Influence on Heavy metal

Allusions

  • Eliot Spitzer:

    Gerald taking part in a practice that he was publicly fighting against, accompanied by his sorrowful speech with his wife at his side, is a reference to disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer. During his time as New York's Attorney General (1999-2006), Spitzer openly and vehemently fought against prostitution rings; in 2008, it was discovered that Spitzer himself was in fact a client of such a ring. When it was made public, he gave a speech with his obviously-annoyed wife beside him. He resigned as Governor shortly thereafter. []
  • Diary of Anne Frank:

    When Cartman hides Mr. Kitty in the attic and tells him to write a diary, it is an allusion to Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl that hid in an attic with her family during the Nazi Holocaust. []
  • Heavy Metal Allusions:

    The blonde chick in 'Major Boobage' is an allusion to the character of Taarna, the last of a warrior race, from 'Taarna', the final story segment of the 1981 Anthology film, Heavy Metal.

    Other allusions include a segment set on board a flying fortress and a spaceship shaped like a sports car.

    The song heard during Kenny and Gerald Broflovski's cat-urine induced trips is "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)" by Don Felder from the film, as well as "Heavy Metal" by Sammy Hagar, which was also on the soundtrack for the original film. []
