It's NOT Jennifer

it's Hennifer....

and it's NOT Ben - it's Been!!

And I loved the "Taco flavored keeses" song.



Once of the best episodes, in my book!

I LOVE this show, but I agree that this was the worst episode ever. The hand puppet bit was mildly amusing at the start, but unfortunately, they stuck with it for the whole episode.

And while I accept the show to be racy and raunchy, I think having a 10-year old give an adult a HJ is in very poor judgement and taste--and I'm not some whiny liberal or religious freak...I just became very uncomfortable in that scene....just didn't seem appropriate.

YES! Thanks! I looked all over the internet for a picture of him doing Senor Wences. I tried to explain it to my wife and she was all with the confused looks.

Huh. I thought this was one of the BEST South Park episodes ever. Interesting to see all of the different opinions. I was laughing all the way through, it worked on so many different levels. Yet another reminder that Cartman is one of the funniest animated characters ever. Taco Flavored Kisses, the HJ (and worse, in his bed), the JLo as a bitch, the ending, I loved it all. I do agree that Kenny doesn't serve much purpose. Bring back Butters!

It had its moments, but to me it was a middle of the pack episode.

I think the reason you couldn't find it is because this isn't Edgar Bergen, as you may of thought.

Senor Wences is the gentlemen's name and Johnny is the "hands" name.

To see Senor in action, he's available on The Muppet Show Vol 15.

It was funny. I agree that the Cartman/Jennifer hand job on Ben was hilarious.

You might not have realized this, as it was fairly subtle, but Cartman's hand was Miss Lopez's mouth.

I think they must also not like Ben Affleck. Remember they had him in a previous episode - where he was the child of the "ass-face" people.

I agree, that was pretty far. but I still laughed. Maybe that's not a good sign.

Cartman is blatantly gay

A fantastically funny episode - I laughed the whole way through! The end revealed that it was all a put-on by Cartman, and if this is true, then he intentionally gave Ben Affleck a HJ.

Thanks to you, I now have a new sig!

Causes me to wonder whether this episode will be banned from future DVD editions. Hell, we saw it last night, but will we ever see it again on TV? My God, I may have to resort to buying overseas VCD's to get this episode!

While the HJ is indeed quite racy, I couldn't help but laugh. Guess I'm not a whiny liberal or religious freak. God help me.

The HJ was nothing for Cartman. Remember that he did suck 'Seamen' out of a garden hose in a previous episode.

I'm surprised at all the Kenny-bashers. Having Kenny on the show is like having the sun rise in the morning. It's natural to see him, and Kenny has never been a tremendous focus on the show. Hell, you can't understand his mutterings anyway, so what's the difference? His family's funny, you have to admit, and if there's no Kenny, there's no dumb older brother, no drunk-no-account-loser father, no trailer-trash humor (yes, Kenny comes from Trailer-Trash).

I like Butters as much as anybody, but PLEASE, no more of Professor Chaos! When his alter-ego is on, I cringe as I do not find it very amusing.

That's pretty much the whole point of the show - to push boundaries. If you feel uncomfortable, Matt and Trey have succeeded.

Did anyone watch Chapelle's Show that followed? The segment about the blind black white supremist was incredibly funny. I guess a black man poking fun at dumb white hicks is the only way the N-word can be repeated on commercial TV. Even South Park had to truncate the word when Mr Garrison said it at the end of an episode.

I've heard the n-word used in a derogatory manner on both "NYPD Blue" and "The Shield," among other shows. As for cutting off Mr. Garrison, that was part of the gag...I doubt they were "forced" to do it by Comedy Central.

Don't forget the very-special-episode of Boston Public

Sometimes it is funnier when it is *bleeped*

I expect in the other examples, it was slipped one or two times. In Chapelle's Show, it was more like 20-30 times. Almost as egregious as the South Park with the sh*t counter in the corner. The boundary wasn't just broken, it was taken out with a 2,000lb bunker-busting JDAM.

another nod to a IMO very funny episode. The "Taco Flavoured Kisses" song is now stuck in my head.
