South Park: Season 15 [DVD]

I never used to be a South Park fan (I was much more Family Guy). However, many late nights mean I started to watch South Park on TV and found it rather funny. I decided to branch out and purchase this season (and I wasn't disappointed!), as it had me laughing for hours, however one complaint would be the price-per-series is too high at £10, but this is not the fault of those writing South Park!

Southpark is brilliant. The topics it deals with, I watch this over and over!

I love south park and I've been waiting until the price was reduced so I could buy it. The series still has me and my family's laughing so much. andi I got the next season at the same time. If you haven't yet watched this series i can highly commend this.

Here in one box set, spread over three dvds, are all fourteen episodes of the fifteenth season of cult tv cartoon show South Park. Languages and subtitles are as follows: Languages: English, German. Subtitles: English, Dutch, German. This is an odd season because whilst there aren't any poor episodes some of them just don't have that certain spark. Some of them, however, really do hit the spot. 'Humancentipad' is a parody of horror movie the human centipede, when not paying attention to the small print in an itunes contract leaves Kyle as part of a horrifying experiment. It's a solid season opener. Which raises a good few smiles. But not many laugh out loud moments. With the expection of the final few seconds. 'Funnybot' sees Jimmy insult German's sense of humour. And the nation retaliates by building a robot who becomes the ultimate comedian. Another one that will raise smiles but not split your sides. And jokes about Tyler Perry will fall flat if you're not familiar with his work. 'Royal pudding' sees a royal wedding in canada disrupted when the bride is kidnapped. Ike joins in the hunt to find her. Whilst Mister Mackey's kindergarten plays runs into problems. Also fun but not desperately funny, although one moment late on that brings it all together is pretty good. 'T.M.I' sees comparisons of male anatomy land several of the characters in anger management. And will also make you smile if not laugh out loud. 'Crack baby athletic association' has Cartman running a league of crack addicted baby athletes. This is a step up in laugh out loud moments from the previous four episodes although it may help to have some knowledge of american sports. The season then does hit the mark with 'City Sushi' an episode where the four main characters don't feature. But it's a great one for Butters as he get mistakenly diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, while rivalry between the City Wok guy and the owner of a Japanese restaurant gets out of hand. This is a very funny episode with some very clever plotting. 'You're getting old' sees Stan become ten. And turn old and cynical. Worth it for a parody of movie trailers which is one of the funniest things the show has ever done. And some brave writing. 'Ass burgers' continues the story on from the end of you're getting old. And takes a long time to get going. But it does throw in a good movie parody and a clever ending, although it's back to the first four episodes of the season in terms of humour. 'The last of the Meheecans' is a Butters v Cartman episode as the former accidentally becomes a hero to an entire nation. Fun but not laugh out loud funny. 'Bass to mouth' brings back gerbil Lemmiwinks as he's the only hope to stop evil gossip mongering rodent Lemmiwinks. Whilst the school staff need Cartman to do something for them. Not a classic but a very funny episode. 'Broadway Bro down' is centred on Randy Marsh and the four main characters once again barely feature. As Randy's discovery of the hidden subtext in Broadway musicals leads to him wanting to get in on the act. Despite some good music and a nice little subplot involving Stan's sister, it's only fitfully funny. But then the season finishes with a strong run of three: '1%' throwing in school fitness, occupy protests and Cartman's stuffed animals being murdered, this balances three plotlines very well and makes you laugh a lot. 'A history channel thanksgiving' parodies sensationalist history documentaries and a recent superhero movie and is a lot of fun. 'The poor kid' sees Kenny and his siblings taken into an unusual foster home when his parents are arrested as a part of a reality tv show, and Cartman goes off rhe rails without Kenny around to pick on. Very funny with some great parody tv and a memorable ending, it's a great finish to the season. Although it does make constant references to a scandal at an american university that didn't make the news in this country, so you may want to google it to find out what they're on about. On disc one you will find some extras: 'Six days to air: the making of South Park.' A forty minute long documentary that shows how the first episode of the season was put together, following it through all the stages of production. This is comprehensive, involving, and fascinating, and well worth a look. A similiar feature about the episode City Sushi just has a few highlights from the production and doesn't last more than a few minutes. There are also seven deleted scenes, from episodes spread throughout the season. They have to be watched all in a row, and last for four minutes in total when you do this. Some are unfinished animation and thus some moments are storyboards instead. They're all quite decent scenes and one from a history channel thanksgiving is a useful bit of exposition that explains something that wasn't clear in the final cut. As ever each episode has a short commentary from the creators of the show. These never last longer than five minutes, and are often funny and informative. Some of the ones on the early episodes, like the episodes themselves, don't quite spark, but some of the later ones are interesting and fun. On the basis of this season South Park may be getting old, and it may not be the most perfect season ever, but there's clearly life left in it yet.

This season had the nicely cynical Human Centipad episode, made in the blink of an eye after the storm created by the release of Tom Six's hilarious bad-taste The Human Centipede. So that was a reason in itself to buy Season 15. Apple Mac users will enjoy the running joke about not reading those Apple agreements that pop up everytime you upgrade or add an app, and are likely to start reading exactly what it is they're signing up to.

The fifteenth season takes a while to get going, but with "You're Getting Old" and "Ass Burgers", the series is back on form. Other great episodes include "Funnybot" (which takes a shot at Tyler Perry and his uncredibly awful films) and "The Last of the Meheecans", where Cartman joins the Border Patrol.

It might be sentimentalism speaking here, but I've grown up with South Park. It too has changed a lot since the beginning and I enjoy it as much now as when it started. Sometimes even more so given the topical episodes. Not for the faint hearted.

I love this DVD because I think that this season is funny. The only season that is better is season 14 of south park, which I would recommend to anyone who is aged 15 or over. I would also recommend season 15 to anyone.

Oui, très bon pack vidéo. Evidemment, c'est vulgaire, trash, politiquement incorrect mais c'est tordant à souhait !! Une belle saison. A noter: le guitariste Slash apparaît en guest dans l'épisode 5. Achat que je recommande pour les plus de 12 ans.

Ich bin mit einer nicht ganz so hohen Erwartung an diese Staffel rangegangen, da ich von Staffel 14 und 16 nicht sonderlich begeistert war, jedoch habe ich mich getäuscht! Für mich eine absolut perfekte Staffel. Außer 2 bestimmten Folgen fand ich eigentlich jede Folge absolut sehenswert. Die Staffel fängt schon mit einem Highlight an: "HUMANCENTiPAD" Eine absolut sehenswerte Parodie auf den (in Deutschland beschlagnahmten) Film "The Human Centipede" und auf Apple. Zwei Folgen weiter erscheint dann "Budding Royal", die zwar insgesamt gut ankam, ich jedoch gestehen muss das es für mich der Tiefpunkt der Staffel ist, da ich die ganzen Gags mit den Kanadiern nicht wirklich gut fand - okay, das Theaterstück war schon witzig! Jedoch geht es dann gleich weiter mit der fantastischen Folge "T.M.I" die mir in vieler Hinsicht sehr gut gefallen hat. Dazu hält es sich auf der guten Schiene und zwar mit der nächsten Folge "Crack - Baby Basketball". Ich bin irgendwie ein Fan der Folgen, in der sich Kyle und Cartman gut verstehen und dies hier ist ein perfektes Beispiel dafür. Doch zum absoluten Highlight der ganzen Staffel kommen wir in einer Folge weiter und zwar mit "City Sushi", die für mich die ganz klar beste Folge der Staffel ist. Absolut genial inszeniert und mit einem genialen Twist am Ende, mit dem bestimmt niemand gerechnet hat. Kommen wir nun zu der wohl meist diskutiertesten Folge: "Hört sich wie Scheiße an". Mit der Folge "Kennys Tod" (S5E13) einer der wenigen dramatischen South Park Folgen, in der es viele Anspielungen auf die eigentliche Serie gibt und angedeutet wird, dass sich etwas ändern soll. Jedoch nach der ebenfalls sehr guten Fortsetzung "Arschburgers" bleibt doch alles beim alten - schade eigentlich! Daraufhin geht es mit der (meiner Meinung nach) zweitschlechtesten Folge der Staffel weiter: "Der letzte Meheekaner" Obwohl der Anfang und das Ende relativ gelungen war, hatte die Folge eher wenig Lacher, allerdings ist dies natürlich Geschmackssache! Jedoch geht es dann sehr gut weiter mit der Folge "Barsch- zu- Mund" welche eine Rückkehr von der Ratte Lemmiwinks darstellt und somit deutlich besser ist, als der 1. Auftritt von Lemmiwinks (S6E14). Nach einer ebenfalls guten Folge "Broadway Bros" kommen wir zu meiner zweitbesten Folge der Staffel "1%". Ähnlich wie "City Sushi" ist sie sehr atmosphärisch und hat einer ziemlich geniales Ende. Zwei Folgen weiter kommen wir auch schon zum Abschluss der Staffel mit "Immer Ärger mit Proll Trash", in der Mysterion sein "Comeback" hat und somit ein sehr guter und würdiger Abschluss der Staffel ist. Kommen wir zur DVD: Dies ist nämlich nicht nur eine der besten Staffeln, sondern auch noch einer der besten DVD Veröffentlichungen. Denn wir bekommen hier volles Programm an Bonus Material: eine ca. 40 minütige Dokumentation "6 Tage bis zur Ausstrahlung" bei welcher man die Macher Trey Parker und Matt Stone bei der Arbeit an der Folge "HUMANCENTiPAD" zusehen kann, jedoch auch allgemein etwas über South Park erfährt u.a. auch über die Arbeiten an der Pilotfolge. Dazu kommt noch eine ca. 3 minütige Dokumentation "Hinter den Kulissen von City Sushi", welche kurz die Dreharbeiten an der Folge "City Sushi" zeigt - auch sehr informativ. Jedoch bekommen wir auch die (seit der 13. Staffel üblichen) Deleted Scenes und natürlich die üblichen Mini - Audiokommentare von Trey Parker und Matt Stone. Also die Extras sind in dieser Staffel doch sehr umfangreich! Fazit: Eine der besten Staffeln und somit kann ich sie jedem nur ans Herz legen.

The biggest reason I think to do the Blu-ray of South Park is for the bonus features, most importantly the mini commentaries. That gives insight that adds to the humor, and sometimes is funny in its own right. Seasons for me are pretty consistent with regards to the number of episodes I like. Out of the 14 episode seasons I typically only have 2 episodes I go "eh" over. This season had the split spring/fall with the two-parter "You're getting old" and "Ass Burgers" and even though it's a two parter, it seems more like one episode cut in half, like separating the "set up" and the "punchline" from a joke as Funnybot would say. "You're getting old" started out funny but quickly just got put you to sleep boring, like it wasn't even attempting to do any humor. Ass burgers went to reverse this by now having the punchline, but it depends entirely upon the set up by "You're getting old" so it's like -1 and +1 = 0. Royal Pudding was fun, but the ending felt like it was a "Eh we don't know how to end this so whatever is the most ridiculous thing you can come up with - throw it in." So overall the episode I don't think holds up. City Sushi had some funny elements, I just thought the "reveal" of the city sushi guy not being asian was odd for being odd. I am an apple fan and even I thought "Humancent-iPad" was funny! Funnybot was great with the German's thing and the Star Trek thing, and most importantly "Token stop giving Tyler Perry money, or he won't leave." T.M.I. gives a great shot at the proven ridiculous body mass index thing (ridiculous in there is no consistency to it.) Crack baby athletic association scores for its shot at EA (and I like some IP's EA has bought) Last of the Meheecans is an excellent episode! Especially for successfully portraying the people who are so in favor of having for all intents and purposes slave labor but disguise it as being compassionate and rooting for the underdog. Bass to Mouth wins me over for the return of Lemmiwinks and the attack on twitter. Broadway Brodown is hilarious, I even used a clip of it for a psychology presentation. Special mention goes to the "Man Time" song. 1% Is hilarious for its accurate while parodied of events ripped from the headlines. A History Channel Thanksgiving is great not just as a holiday episode but for putting freaking Thor in it! I still laugh at "Natalie Portman's wormhole." The Poor kid has some real life perspective into consequences of your actions, as well as the whole when you point your finger at someone you have fingers pointing back at you.

Ma fille adore cette série, elle dit que c'est une série très sympathique et drôle qui critique bien notre société

I have seen every episode probably 100 times and still bought the entire series because I love this show so much. its amazingly genius. I truly believe there are so many great life lessons in this show. If I had a kid I would most defiantly let them watch this. If you can get past the swearing there is a lot to learn from this show.
