The second season of South Park gets even crazier as the boys get into more hilarious antics. This season Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny help solve the case of a serial chicken molester, go to the world dodgeball championship, foil a nefarious plot by a planetarium owner, throw a music concert to save Chef, do battle with their evil selves from a parallel dimension, and discover the mysterious Underpants Gnomes. Additionally, the show pulls a wild April Fool’s joke by kicking off the season with a full-length Terrence and Phillip episode (instead of the promised conclusion to the “Who’s Cartman’s Mom?” mystery). The animation is improved but still sticks to the crude cardboard cutout look, and the satire is incredibly sharp and clever. The parodies are also extremely funny; riffing on Star Trek, the Grinch, Poltergeist, Titanic, America’s Most Wanted, and America’s Funniest Home Videos. The laughs keep coming in Season 2 as South Park adds more characters are gets more ambitious in its storytelling.

Chaos continues to build in Colorado. Season 2 continues to ramp up the volume of its brand of storytelling. I do feel like the priority of the show remains to be shocking and on the fringe of absurdity. It's very hit-or-miss with me this season. It comes down to personal taste. We're still a bit away from the point where Matt, Trey, & co. were batting a thousand, even still it's fun to watch the show actively evolve into that era.
