The episode about sexual education...
Lady_Targaryen5 October 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this episode ('Proper Condom Use') from 'South Park ' just yesterday, and I need to say that is one of the best episodes ever!(Not to mention one of the funniest!)All the main characters are present (Kyle,Stanley,Eric,Kenny, Butters,Wendy,Chef, and so on) and I read that this episode is banned from syndication due to its strong sexual content( Things like seeing Cartman and Stan masturbating a dog, Mr. Garrison talking about real sexual positions that involve feces with kids from the kindergarten and so on).

The message of this episode, is about the importance of talking about sex with the children, that should be taught by the family, rather than at schools, since sex is something very personal and you don't know who are the people that are explaining this to them.

The plot is : When Stan learns how to masturbate a dog with Eric, not knowing what masturbation really is and thinking that what Cartman did was cool, he decides to do on his dog in front of his parents and his parents' friends. Being grounded, Stan does not understand why he is being punished and when his parents notices that Stan doesn't know anything about sex,they don't really know how to explain it. They then decide, with other parents, that the schools should be teaching sex education at a younger age.

The funniest thing, is to notice how the kids understand many of the things about the sexual act in a wrong way, like when the boys were thinking that is necessary to wear condoms even to talk with the girls, or the girls are so terrorized about sexually transmitted diseases,that they don't want a single contact with any of the boys. The guilty partially is from Mr. Mackey and from Miss Choksondik , since both of the teachers didn't have much experiences themselves and are horrible to explain the kids the real meaning of sex.

One of the funniest
Definitely a top ten South Park episode. Mr Garrison teaching the kindergarteners how to put on a condom takes the cake. Garrison's best moment, and he's had a lot of solid moments.

Probably recommended sexual education viewing

There's an interesting message in this episode, that of the differences between 'teaching' and 'learning', especially when it comes to something like sex. In a way that SOUTH PARK tends to do at its best, this episode illuminates this particular idea through a superbly realized story that is as entertaining and hilarious as it is insightful.

When I suggested this episode to be worthy of being a required viewing for sexual education classes, I do not necessarily mean it for the accuracy of the episode but rather for another meaning altogether. Where the teachers begin to instill fear in the students over sex and the students become paranoid and alienated, it is Chef in this episode who maintains the belief that sex must be experienced and cannot be taught and learned. It's ultimately his message in this episode that is the most forthright and it's a message that both teachers, Mr. Mackey and Ms. Chokes on Dick learn through their realized attraction towards one another. "Proper Condom Use" is an episode that sheds an illuminating perspective on sex for a show, a cartoon no less though we all know SOUTH PARK is not your conventional cartoon.

Beyond the interesting message of this episode, this is yet another hysterical and complete episode and a very worthy follow-up to the frankly stunning "Cartmanland". The episode is hilarious throughout, whether it's Chokes on Dick scaring her students on the idea of sex, Mr. Mackey's inexperience being exposed, Garrison teaching kindergarten students about sexual positions or the fiasco that the boys and girls undergo, it never failed to amaze me. The "Mad Max: Road Warrior" parody towards the end of the episode was truly fantastic.

"Proper Condom Use" is a hilarious episode, a terrific follow-up to its predecessor and in my opinion, is very worthy viewing as part of one's sexual education. There's a great message inherent in a wonderfully told story that entertains quite effortlessly throughout its runtime.

South Park smart edgy comedy at its early best.
tomdegroot-5722427 January 2022
This is peak EARLY South Park. The strategic and smart comedy, blended with some heavy edgyness and raunchyness to it. Near perfect episode from beginning to end. The boys are strong and hilarious and along with the adults.. Mr. Mackey is a treasure and so is Mrs. Chokes.

Also one of Mrs. Chokeson strongest episodes.. Of one.. A early south park treasure of gold this episode is. 8.5-9.

Puketastic!

So you're watching an episode of South Park called "Proper Condom Use" and everything is fine and dandy. The kids swear a lot and the adults' incompetence and poor sexual education ultimately lead to all-out war between the boys and girls of South Park. So far, so good, right? You're laughing, having fun, and thinking this will be another hilarious, crude but forgettable chapter of SP's history.

Then comes The Scene. Matt and Trey's atom bomb. To put it in simple terms, Mr. Mackey takes miss Choksondik's virginity, with revoltingly graphic results. This sex scene has to be one of the most disturbing things I've EVER seen. EVER. I don't care if it's animated. I don't care if it's comedy. This scene will scar any straight male for life. I'm not kidding. I'm still having nightmares.

After The Scene is over, there's the usual dumb solution to the conflict and one of the kids deliver a little speech, but at this point you're still too stunned to really absorb anything. Struggling not to hurl, you leave your TV set, wobble to bed and wonder if maybe you could have lived a happier life without having to see miss Choksondik's exposed, floppy boobs. But it's too late. Your life, as you know it, is over, and your mental state will never be the same again.

One of the more raunchier episodes!
gangstahippie2 December 2008
Proper Condom use is one of the more raunchier episodes of SOuth PArk.It is one of the few episodes that were originally banned in the UK.Cartman learns a new trick called "Milking The Dog"(masturbating it).He shows it to the others and they start doing it.Stan does it in front of his parents and gets grounded.They then realize that it is because sex ed is not taught in schools, so they decide to make it get taught.The boys sex ed is taught by Mr.Mackey and the girls sex ed is taught by Mrs.Chokesondik.Both are virgins who know little to nothing about the subject.Chokesondik ends up scaring the girls so much that they run away from the boys.AFter Mackey's lesson, the boys think that they give them diseases.This goes into an all out war between the boys and girls.Meanwhile Mr Mackey and Mrs Chokesondik fall in love with each other.THis is a raunchier than usual episode, it's also funny!

Let's talk about sex
JadePixieonIMDb21 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This episode is clever, funny and realistic, kids don't know what sex is, they don't understand it and when Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are masturbating dogs (they're taught this by a couple of fifth graders, which the boys thought they're "milking" their own dogs like the same way how you milk cows on the farm.) in front of their parents, they decided that the kids need to learn sex education and the whole episode goes into hilarious situations of sex, Moral panic and a unattractive porn parody feature the unattractive saggy droopy breast Ms Choksondik & the scrawny body huge head Mr Mackey.
