The 10th season of "South Park" premiered last night with an episode titled, "The Return of Chef." Here's the plot; don't read it if you don't want to know! Chef has left South Park to go with the Super Adventure Club. After Chef returns, the boys find that Chef has changed. Using audio from previous shows, Trey Parker and Matt Stone make Chef say things like, "I'm gonna make love to your assholes, children" and "Kenny, how would you like to sodomize my black ass?" The boys find that the Super Adventure Club travels the world to molest children and that they've brainwashed Chef. The boys take him to a strip club to get him back to normal, but the Super Adventure Club comes back to get Chef. The boys go the Super Adventure Club headquarters to get Chef back, but he's reminded why he left: his life got boring and empty. Lighting strikes and ignites the rope bridge leading to the Super Adventure Club that Chef is standing on at the time, causing Chef to fall and get impaled on a tree branch. Animals proceed to rip off his face, an arm and leg. Nobody dies peacefully on "South Park." At Chef's funeral in town, Kyle delivered this eulogy:
Kyle: | We're all here today because Chef has been such an important part of our lives. A lot of us don't agree with the choices Chef has made in the past few days. Some of us feel hurt and confused that he seemed to turn his back on us. But we can't let the events of the last week take away the memories of how much Chef made us smile. I'm going to remember Chef as the jolly old guy who always broke into song. I'm going to remember Chef as the guy who gave us advice to live by. So, you see, we shouldn't be mad at Chef for leaving us. We should be mad at that fruity little club for scrambling his brains. | Randy Marsh: | Yeah. | Mr. Mackey: | He's right. | | (Applause) | Kyle: | And in the end, I know that somewhere out there, there's the good part of Chef that's still alive in us all. |
It's funny that I mentioned James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, since they made Chef into a kind of Darth Chef. So, they didn't entirely kill him off, but since he's now a kind of robot child molester, he's effectively gone. Chef's been the boys' go-to guy for advice, so I'm curious who will fill that role now. I will stay tuned! |
