Instead of finishing the cliffhanger left concerning the identity of Cartman's father, Trey Parker and Matt Stone fashioned a half-hour vehicle for those Canadian jokesters Terrance and Phillip; they go to Iraq to find Terrence's kidnapped daughter. Before the half hour wraps up, Canada, Celine Dion, and television censorship advocates all receive the kind of stinging blows South Park fans have come to expect. "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus," originally aired April 1, 1998. More 2 Cartman's Mom Is Still..... Air date: Apr 22, 1998 Chef and the boys rush to the hospital to check on Mephesto, who's gunned down just as he's set to reveal the identity of Cartman's father. Meanwhile, the townspeople search for the gunman and battle a snowstorm. More 3 Ike's Wee-Wee Air date: May 20, 1998 Kyle's adopted Canadian brother, Ike, is to be circumcised. In an effort to protect Ike's "fireman," the boys stick him on a train to Nebraska. Meanwhile, Mr. Mackey is fired for exposing the children to marijuana in an attempt to teach them that "drugs are bad, m'kay." After a drug-induced trip to hippieville, Mackey enters rehab and gets his job back. Meanwhile, the boys learn that the point of circumcision is actually to make the pee-pee look bigger, so they happily bring Ike back from Nebraska. More 4 Chicken Lover Air date: May 27, 1998 The animals of South Park are nervous, and it's up to Barbrady and the boys to figure out who in the town is, um, "loving" the chickens. When it's discovered that Barbrady can't read, Cartman is deputized so that the town will be kept safe while Barbrady goes back to school. While Cartman revels in his new-found "authoritah," the Magical Bookmobile driver helps promote literacy by engaging in bestiality. More 5 Conjoined Fetus Lady Air date: Jun 3, 1998 While the kids of South Park are on the bus to China for the Dodgeball World Championships, the townsfolk make an effort to make the school nurse, who happens to have a dead fetus hanging off the side of her face, comfortable. Having won the championship, the kids return just in time for the festivities, including the Conjoined Fetus parade. More 6 The Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka Air date: Jun 10, 1998 Ned and Jimbo's show "Huntin' and Killin'" is king of the public access ratings, even surpassing the popular "Jesus and Pals." Jimbo and Ned tell the boys of their experiences in Vietnam, but the boys find out that they're being duped. So the gang decides to pull a prank on Ned and Jimbo and stage an incident involving the Mexican Staring Frog, which puts any person looking at it into a coma. The scam ruins the credibility of the show, returning "Jesus and Pals" to its proper place in the ratings. More 7 City on the Edge of Forever Air date: Jun 17, 1998 When television shows run out of ideas, the producers resort to a "clip show" where cast members sit around saying "Remember when?" while viewers are treated to scenes from old episodes. This episode of the irreverent animated series South Park mocks that convention. As their school bus dangles precariously on a steep cliff, Eric, Kenny, Kyle, and Stan remember incidents from old shows, but anyone familiar with those old clips will notice subtle and not so subtle changes. While the boys sort-of relive old times, Mrs. Crabtree, the bus driver, enjoys a career as a stand-up comic. "City on the Edge of Forever" first aired June 17, 1998, on Comedy Central. More 8 Summer Sucks Air date: Jun 24, 1998 Abandoned by Mr. Hat, Mr. Garrison seeks therapy from Dr. Katz, who implies that Mr. Hat may have been a manifestation of Mr. Garrison's sexual persuasion. It turns out that Mr. Hat is fulfilling his own fantasy with Brett Favre. Meanwhile, Fourth of July fireworks are banned because one kid got hurt, so the town tries to figure out how they can celebrate Independence Day. The Mayor decides to light an enormous snake, which burns down the town. More 9 Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls Air date: Aug 19, 1998 The South Park Film Festival attracts all the top Hollywood types, including Fred Savage. Unfortunately, the sudden influx of people with high-fiber diets overwhelms the sewage system, threatening the well-being of Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo. When he and the boys try to get the movie people to leave, it almost costs Hankey his life. Luckily, Chef's culinary concoction -- his salty chocolate balls -- help give Hankey the strength to banish the outsiders. More 10 Chicken Pox Air date: Aug 26, 1998 Since everybody knows that it's better to get the chicken pox as a kid than as an adult, the gang's parents make the boys stay over at Kenny's house when they hear that Kenny has it. In return, the boys ask a local prostitute to give their parents herpes. More Show More Episodes South Park: Season 2 Photos View All Photos (19) Tv Season Info The sophomore series of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's often outrageous satirical animated program "South Park" kicks off with the infamous episode "Terrence and Phillip in Not Without My Anus," and not with the resolution of the cliffhanger from last season about the identity of Cartman's father. That fact does however come to light in the second episode of this series that also includes a satire of the reality program "Cops" in the episode titled "Chickenlover." Other highlights include the song Chef (Isaac Hayes) sings in "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls," a Christmas episode where the Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Eric are kidnapped by Charles Manson, and Cartman trying to get a gig selling Cheesy Poofs in "Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods."

More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for South Park Season 2 All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1) It's fun, funny, and clever and an early example of South Park greatness. Sep 12, 2013 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review… Travis Fickett IGN Movies It's 20 minutes and change, and I dozed off twice while watching it. Sep 11, 2013 | Full Review… Phil Dyess-Nugent AV Club Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (2) Audience Reviews for South Park: Season 2 Aug 18, 2017 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. Dann M Super Reviewer Mar 27, 2016 While some episodes may be hit or miss, Season 2 of South Park remains an important stepping in the show's history - and a great overall season to boot. Matthew M Super Reviewer Dec 11, 2015 Season 2 continued from the first season, it includes introduction to many new characters and better tongue in cheek humour in general. Though still quite silly at times. Sylvester K Super Reviewer Jul 07, 2019 The second Season gave us more character development with 17 fun and memorable episodes. It's a good Season with more character development and slightly better animation Best Episode: "Chef's Salty Chocolate Balls" Worst Episode: "City on the Edge of Forever" Yannick D Jan 20, 2017 Sometimes funny, sometimes dumb. 'South Park' continues and it's definitely a funnier adventure -- with returning jokes and new ones. But of course; it's not always a fun nor exciting story. Its plot can drag on with boring stuff, but the characters are always fun to follow and they shine with unique personality traits. Sure expositions, returning jokes, lacking character development and a too dumb story might not impress all of you. But it does to me, to a somewhat extent. Average personal episode rating: 67.2/100 Personal rating: 70/ 100 Critical rating: 60/100 Nola(n)brams R Oct 30, 2015 Like that star wars episode in this season. Brad P Feb 28, 2015 The second season of South Park is a slight improvement on the original with the higher amount of classic episodes, mostly good jokes, improved animation, some of the more original concepts and the high amount of 18 episodes is a big plus, but it is still a beginning here with not a single standout character, some weak episodes and little attention to character arks. But it is still a pretty good season with some very interesting storylines, mostly excellent humor and a couple of terrific episodes. David L Apr 07, 2014 respect my authority- cartmen David G Jan 18, 2014 South Park Season 2 is even more fun than the first with adventures from those lovable spanks we all know and love. John B Jan 05, 2014 A bit of a mixed bag, but it's nowhere near as bad as everyone says.
