Boy, I think this episode will be part of the list of controversial ones. Almost three years ago having a joke on the crocodile hunter Steve Irwin, who had passed away just a month or so before, was matter of controversy but now the South Park guys titled the mid-season premiere Dead Celebrities...I tell you, just don't be really surprised if you hear words from the familiars of Billy Mays, David Carradine, Adam Goldstein, Farrah Fawcett and of some others celebrities on South Park. But in the end that's another story, the stuff that really matters concerns if this is a funny episode, if South Park returned with worth watching stuff. And my humble opinion if the following: I laughed really hard with Dead Celebrities; it's a truly hilarious show, yet another one of this the thirteenth season.
I will forget the celebrities that appear in this episode for a moment since this is a show with hilarious bits that of course are not just random jokes but that are not quite with the dead celebrities. A part with the Ghost Hunters and the whole stuff with Cartman and his experiences with Chipotle are hilarious. And this time I wasn't one of those that while seeing the episode knew about Billy Mays or the Ghost Busters or Chipotle but still I laughed hard, nobody need to, it's just hilarious time with conversations about crapping blood (and the solution to the crapping blood problems; Cartman: "that product changed my life"), a very annoying salesperson and with ghost busters (the peeing thing was just brilliant!). And Michael Jackson, don't forget the king of pop, everybody knows him (well except Homer Simpson!), everybody knows that he died except well, himself! Basically it's all because of Michael Jackson: this episode begins with Kyle's parents having a nice night and a very scared Ike; he, Ike, is seeing dead people, more specifically dead celebrities. You gotta love the "I'm alive and I'm a child and I'm white" and the "Kyle, what the f*** is going on?", you gotta love the first of the last seven South Park episodes that will air in 2009. And finally RIP Michael, wait he wasn't a Mormon...
