South Park (TV Series) Jared Has Aides (2002) User Reviews

I think this episode aged VERY well

[Reckno64 · 9/10 · 27 December 2019]

Since the Jared controversy of 2015, this episode is 10 times more funny. Personally the Butters torture got a bit overly undeserved in my opinion but I still thought it was a pretty solid episode.

Now we wait just 4 more years for 9/11 to become funny since this episode aired March 6, 2002 which was just 6 months after 9/11 and as of the day I'm writing this review it has been 17.7 years since this episode aired so in total 18.3 years have passed since 9/11, and you have to wait 22.3 years to be able to make fun of a tragedy so just 4 years left till you can make fun of 9/11!

Ok why did I do all that math........

Hilarious Season 6 Premiere

[gangstahippie · 9/10 · 14 December 2008]

Jared Has Aides is one of my favorite south park episodes! It's one of the funnier episodes.Kenny died last season so now Butters is the new replacement for Kenny.Jared from the subway commercials comes to south park and the boys talk to him.Jared tells them that he only really ate a little bit of Subway and with the help of excercise and his "aides"(his help) he lost all hi weight.The boys ask him to tell everybody that.When he does however, everybody starts hating him.This is because they think he means the sexually-transmitted disease aids.It's very funny how the people hear that word and misinterpret it.Meanwhile, the boys decide to make money by fattening up Butters and helping him lose weight.There is a fairly sickening scene in this episode where the boys give Butters lypo-suction surgery and another hilarious part where Cartman pretends to be Butters on the phone and insults his mom and dad! Jared Has Aides is hilarious and is one of the better South Park episodes!

Strong episode thats a must watch. Very memorable and tons of moments to laugh hard at

This episode plot rolls at a good pace with its comedy aside. It's early mature South Park humor as I call it lol. The play on words and just hard laugh at moments and while shedding light on a serious subject, while not taking itself overly serious is a master peice of South Park blending.

You'll love having aides you really will...

Probably the silliest episode of South Park ever but it is still one of the most brilliant. Jared Fogle comes to town the promote his new diet and announces that it was aides not Subway sandwiches which caused him to loose weight. The world believes he means AIDS and naturally when he announces he wants to give aides to starving kids he is chased by a mob. This is probably the simplest episode of South Park ever yet I consider it to be one of the best. The episode basically has one joke but it works to the point of perfection. I've seen the episode countless times but I still get tears from laughing so hard. Season 6 was a great year for South Park especially the Butters episodes. The audience discovered that they didn't miss Kenny at all in fact were glad he's gone.

"bring it on, queer bait"

Before watching yesterday, after years of watching it for the last time, this episode I didn't had in my mind how funny Jared Has Aides is and now I can say that this is a terrific and hilarious episode.

So Season 6 is the one without Kenny (who returned in the very last, and for me very best episode, of Season 6 Red Sleight Down) so here Butters is the fourth boy, his voice sounds different and he delivers absolute fun. So is the joke of having Cartman, Kyle and Stan calling Butters Kenny or not-Kenny or not-not-Kenny and Butters doesn't want to do something the boys are like "Kenny would've done it, Kenny was the best friend ever". And in this first episode of Season 6 Butters does some really crazy things, basically Jared Fogle (the man who lost a lot of weight by eating only Subway sandwiches) gave to Cartman an idea: Butters will get fat, the boys will make a deal with a restaurant (City Wok) and Butters will lost the weight doing exercise and they will say he lost weight by eating only City Wok food so City Wok will have their very own Jared. And here we certainly see Jared, is great since Cartman had the idea because the boys found that Jared only ate certain sandwiches and he had the help of his aides then and certainly he lost weight by doing a lot of exercise and with a proper diet! So here Jared finally feels he needs to tell the truth to all of the people who thought he lost weight by eating all the sandwiches he wanted. Then meanwhile Jared says to everyone that he got aides and everyone thinks he is saying AIDS (at one point he is like "I will give aides to every unprivileged children in the world", Jared is certainly in serious problems) hilarious stuff with the boys happens. Butters will have a liposuction, his parents will ground him but Cartman is there to help him. Probably my favourite part is when Cartman is Butters! The very last scene is also very memorable (with Butters saying to Cartman "Eric you're a real pal" and with Butters' parents finally arriving) just as when everyone finally realizes that Jared was saying aides and not AIDS, so is very funny for everyone!

They just repeat the same joke over and over

[truebatmantd · 1/10 · 15 March 2023]

This whole episode revolves around Jared having help of a couple "aides" but every time he mentions them people think he he AIDS and they freak out.

This is basically the whole episode. Throughout the episode they literally repeat the same joke 100-150 times. Again and again, again and again, again and again. It stops being funny after about 5 minutes.

This is something South Park is often guilty of. They find one joke that works and repeat that joke to death until it stops being funny and then some more. In this episode they overused the same joke by about 100 too many times after it stopped being funny.

It turns out it's not a good idea to build an entire episode around one joke and repeat the same joke again and again all episode long.
