I, finally, sat down and watched the very last South Park episode of 2009. Pee could have been one of my favourite Season 13 episodes having a parody of 2012 with Cartman being Cartman and the authorities and scientists being the authorities and scientists.

Still it success just like the 2005 episode Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow did, in other words, if you're like me and didn't even consider to take a look to the big disaster movie of 2009 you'll love this episode and feel the need to tell others to see it instead of 2012 or The Day After Tomorrow.

Essentially this is about having a harmless, or better said, a nonexistent problem being cataloged as a huge disaster. What we have is a problem at a water park since people just pee in the pools too much. Is very funny indeed the whole thing with the pee, I mean this episode shows what we all know but somewhat want always to not think in: everybody pee in the pools, in the sea and in the shower, plus most people do not clean their hands after peeing. Here is indeed Kyle the one who is basically naïve towards this freakin' fact; it's just a darn bad time for Kyle (and a bit disgusting for us!).

Aside of this we have two subplots, one dealing with Cartman: two weeks ago I came back from my second NYC adventure. This time I took the subway from Manhattan to Coney Island and at one point during the trip back to Manhattan I was in the subway with about 20 Asians and only a couple of Americans. What's the apocalypse for Cartman? Caucasian Americans being the minority, indeed!

The other plot deals with the authorities, scientists and civilians' (well is just Randy) reactions towards the supposed catastrophe (only Kenny dies because of the pee, but while sad his death is still no reason to be surprised and totally scared!) at the team park. These two plots are superb, some of its scenes are in my book highlights of Season 13 and well, is just Cartman being Cartman, going to a water park with minorities all over the place. The key here is that Cartman NEVER thinks of the white people as the minorities even that the park's attendance has only 10% of white people… he is like "do I look like a minority?"! The 2012 thing is in the two subplots since for Cartman having more Mexicans, Asians and African Americans in his park is, like I mentioned, the beginning of the freakin' apocalypse (Mayans were wrong, it came in 2009!), and for the authorities pee seems to be really mortal. The whole monkeys thing was priceless just like Cartman's vision of a world with white people as the minority (is basically Cartman putting himself in the place of any minority in the US). It may not be one of the very bests of the Season but Pee was a great way to finish the year. Can't wait for Season 14!

Good but not as good as the last few episodes

Pee is the season finale of Season 13 of South Park.While I found it to be a good episode with some funny parts, I didn't like it as much as the other episodes of this season.The episode is about the boys going to a water park.People keep peeing in the pool and Kyle is complaining about it.According to some people if the level of pee in the pool reaches 100% something terrible happens.The owner will not listen and does not evacuate the pool like he is told.So the whole park overflows with pee and the boys are stranded and trying to find a way out.Meanwhile, Cartman is angered at the amount of minorities at the pool(Cartman being racist as usual).When the incident occurs he is stranded with a bunch of minorities and he thinks he is the only white person alive.Also on the outside, Stan's dad tries to save his son while the government thinks they all became mutants.They all try to find an antidote to stop the mutation caused by the pee.The episode has some hilarious moments and was pretty good, but not the best episode of the season.Overall this was a great season, an improvement over Season 12.

water parks are really gross, this makes fun of them

Like following Kyle's disgusting journey of being afraid of swimming in the water park and Stan's extreme under reaction. He freaks out a lot and it's entertaining to watch. Not very funny. Same with Cartman being stressed out about being one of the only white people at the waterpark.

The weird joke about the PH of the water park and the maximum acceptable amounts of pee is silly too.

Like the weird scientific testing with the pee on the monkey while the rescue team doesn't bother saving the people inside.

It's kinda enjoyable seeing Kyle being forced to swim through pee to save his life.

This episode was enjoyable but, not amazing.

I roared laughing, BUT...

What the Hell happened to to the sound? This is a fantastic episode and probably one of the LEAST Politically Correct episodes ever done. When it first aired, I laughed by my BUTT Off. It was horrendous on so many levels but that's what makes South Park so brilliant.

The last several times I watched this episode (I admit, I've seen every episode at LEAST twice) I was very bothered by the HORRIFIC sound treatment of Eric Cartman's thoughts and his song, MINORITIES. Was this done to intentionally blur the sound so as to not offend as many people or did some maniacal terrorist decide to attack a funny show...a SOFT target?

South Park and it's staff of insanely brilliant creators and writers have never cared who was offended because it's just outrageous comedy with a slant. Hell, even stuff that could offend me, I overlook because my basic attitude is, If I'm laughing at something that I KNOW will offend someone, I have no right to complain when something that might offend ME is on.

So, the bottom line, what happened with the sound? Is there even a remote chance it'll get fixed at some point and we can hear this heartless yet hilarious song and Cartman's fearful thoughts over minorities taking over? I've been getting headaches listening to them now.

PLEASE CORRECT THIS!!!!!!!
