South Park (TV Series) Krazy Kripples (2003) User Reviews

Relevant.

I'm not going to take time reviewing this episode because it would defeat the purpose of recommending you to watch. I will, however, briefly say that as a person who was born with a disability that there is a gross double standard between how those born disabled are treated in comparison to celebrities who became handicapped later in their life.

As always, South Park humorously delivers another insightful episode concerning the plight of the disabled. It is one of the only satirical shows which have been brave enough to have disabled characters, which is why I have a great deal of respect for Parker's writing. Other great disabled themed episodes I recommend are "Up The Down Steroid" and "Cripple Fight".

A great episode with many themes.

It's my favourite Timmy and jimmy episode. It does not feature the main characters except just in a few scenes I think... which goes to show how South Park has developed quite a few interesting side characters. It also has the crips and bloods and Christopher reeves from Superman. Funny

Na na na, Crips and Bloods. Na na na, Hope and love!

For some reason I can't explain I started laughing uncontrollably at the end of this episode and I kept laughing after it was done. I lost a night of sleep because I could not stop laughing. Not necessarily because it was funny but because of the absurdity behind it. Only South Park can pull off something like this. After watching The premiere of season 24 I realize how much I miss old South Park. Matt & Trey are getting older and it shows.

Pretty Good

Krazy Kripples is another SOuth Park episode which does not involve the four main south park boys.Pip, NOt Without My Anus and The Butters Show are other examples of these types of episodes.This is more of a Timmy and Jimmy centered episode.The boys are featured at times though.Jimmy is angry that nobody came to his comedy show because everybody went to see Christopher Reev.Jimmy is angry at this because Reeve was only disabled later on and not from birth.So Timmy and Jimmy decide to join a group called "The Crips".It's really the infamous L.A gang but they think it's a groupe for crippled people.Meanwhile, Christopher Reeve starts going power hungry and keeps using stem cells from aborted fetuses to gain even more powers, he eventually turns evil and it's up to Gene Hackman to stop him.This is ironic because in the 1978 Superman movie, Christopher Reeve was Superman and Hackman was the villain Lex Luthor.This is a fairly good episode, but the four main south park boys appear very little.

Tommy is a genius

Such a great episode. I was laughing so hard from the begging to the end. Not even the lousy second plot with Christopher reeves eating fetus. I don't believe there's a limit to comedy but that was disgusting. The main story is flawless , I don't remember the last character so amazing like Timmy , only looking at him I wanna laugh. I love Timmy and I was longing to see him more on screen. The interactions with the gangs were great too.

I have to say more things so the comment is posted and I will try tonight it without spoilers.

The episode is very funny. South Park has some boring episodes but this surely is not one of them.

Huh?!?!

Normally, I absolutely LOVE South Park, even supporting unpopular episodes "Eat, Pray, Queef", "Pip", and "Not Without My Anus", but this was HORRIBLE!!! I am fine with South Park making fun of gangs (that part was wonderful), but the Christopher Reeve subplot went TOO far. If they had just had him using stem cells, but NOT eating them, and trying to kill Gene Hackman, and going psychotic, it would have been better. I got SICK watching every scene with him wishing he could rise up and kick Trey and Matt where it hurts, and please do not tell me that his attempt to use stem cells to be superhuman was funny, as it just added to the mockery.

This may seem prudish, which it is, but I LOVE it when South Park goes over the edge ("Pee" and "Go, God Go" being good examples), but knowing a quadriplegic (not Reeve) this episode hit home for me, and my friend cried when he saw the episode feeling it belittled a good cause, and hero, too much.

I guess even South Park have a limit to what they can handle, and this was mine.
