Is Pip South Park's Most Alienating Episode? (alien.top)

YouTubers Blooms and LS Mark (both whom currently have 250k or more subscribers) both called it their least favorite of all 300+ episodes. Many fans consider it at or near the bottom of the barrel. All the same, I've seen fans defend it. Fans of this episode do exist. If there's one "you either love it or you hate it" South Park episode, I think it's this one.

Side note: To me, it's a fun, strange adventure with a tense, fast paced third act. Malcolm McDowell's narration is the icing on the cake. I'd give it an 8/10. Truth be told, I initially had no idea this episode was unpopular, much less a common least favorite.

I enjoyed it. Agreed about McDowell, and I love how he just introduces himself as "A British Person."

People often hate when shows try something really different, and I get it, but, when done right, the results are deeply interesting. Like how a lot of people hate "Fly" in Breaking Bad, but it's genuinely one of the best episodes of the entire series.
