Out this week is the eagerly awaited South Park (The Complete Eleventh Season) (Comedy Central). I love listening to the reluctant commentary by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. They hilariously relate how the idea sprang out for each episode, riffing off current events or national scandals that gave way to another animated adventure with the foul-mouthed boys of Colorado. But this season was one of their very best, featuring the brilliant Imaginationland trilogy in which Stan, Kyle and Butters are transported (by balloon) to a magical land only to be attacked by terrorists. The subplot about Cartman moving heaven and hell to have Kyle live up to a signed bet to suck his balls if Cartman was right about the existence of leprechauns is just genius.

One of may favorite episodes, Le Petit Tourette, has Cartman pretending to have Tourette Syndrome so he can let rip with hideous racist comments all day long with immunity. In Lice Capades, the boys are inspected for head lice and we see the kingdom of the lice where one solitary lice warns his fellow vermin of the dangerous state of their environment. This way Parker and Stone can rip on Global Warming and the comic ways the kids react to finding out which one is riddled with “cooties." And in one of the rudest episodes, The Snuke, modeled after the show TV series 24, a nuclear device is secretly planted in Hilary Clinton’s vagina. It just doesn’t get any better or funnier than this!
