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 thought it was great. I like the idea of occasionally giving the viewers an entirely different experience than they were expecting as a joke. Very Pythonesque.

It's a fantastic episode. Pocket asking for his bunnies back always kills me.

Anything is better than Jakovasaurs.

[–] TheTrub@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Jakovasaurs were annoying as all hell, but they landed a solid burn on Memphis. Lice Capades will always be my least favorite episode.

Nahhhh Jakovasaurs is a great episode, don't hate man

I think the problem is like a lot of people I watched it when I was 10, had never seen masterpiece theatre, or read Great Expectations, and so missed all the satire.

Simply left a little baffled by such an asanine post.No cause for alarm! But I thank you good fag.

I don’t like the episode, but there are far worse episodes. And YouTubers opinions are just opinions.

[–] ExistentialEnso@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

I kinda wish we got more South Park retellings of classic literature with crazy final acts.

[–] stavago@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I liked it, but I like Great Expectations

There are episodes I dislike more, such as the pioneers episode

[–] thehighestdetective@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d tell them to stop being a p-p-p- pussy

Narrator is the only good character

[–] Level-Palpitation543@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As someone who studied great expectations throughly in high school I loved this episode

[–] PhoenixAurum@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not all, I’m sure!

[–] gaz_ballz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

loved it. But I don't know much I like to just stick to me blacksmithing

[–] Life_Ad3567@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This episode taught me so many creative phrases to insult people with. "You pile of vaginal discharge!"

[–] UncommonHouseSpider@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's a silly retelling of an age old story. I enjoy it, though I wouldn't call it my favourite. I also enjoyed the movie Great Expectations with Ethan hawke, with about 5 other people, so my taste is perhaps suspect?! Maybe that's where they got the idea from?

i’ve said this in previous posts, but I think it’s a generational thing.

younger fans don’t get it; those of us that grew up with it love it.

[–] DiscoKombat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It ain't that bad TBH.
