Review: South Park “Oh, Jeez”

Oh, Jeez is right.

This week’s new South Park, “Oh, Jeez” (or “The Very First Gentleman”, depending on where you look) was an incredibly poignant and funny piece of animated satire after the dust settled.

I’ve been so sick of politics and election coverage, as I think so many are, that I was almost dreading watching more tonight– even in the form of a new South Park episode. However, as always, South Park kills it, puts it all into perspective, and throws us even funnier, weirder new curveballs.

“Oh, Jeez” starts off with Gerald being taken to go to Denmark to infiltrate TrollTrace. But there are ulterior motives in mind. The craziest, best thing that could possibly happen to these idiot trolls does happen, in true troll fashion. Everything is totally switched up on them. It’s great to finally see these jerks get some comeuppance– which is what we’ve been waiting for all season– and in such a hilarious fashion.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby are going around to schools, to form a “gentleman’s club”– and the funniest part of the episode, that got a HUGE real, long laugh from me is when Bill Clinton talks to Butters at the end of the episode. Cartman’s girlfriend and Kyle and Stan are all involved, and Randy is acting awfully weird– thanks to member berries.

Overall, a great episode with a great ending. HOW do these South Park guys do it every week? Well, we’ll find out more next episode, and I’m still more excited for it than ever. Especially after this insane election cycle and its results, we all need desperately to laugh.
