For those of you who haven't seen it yet.

This episode even has its own Wikipedia page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_in_the_Closet_%28South_Park%29
This episode was scheduled to rebroadcast on March 15, 2006 on Comedy Central, but the broadcast was canceled without prior notice, and was replaced with "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls". Representatives of Comedy Central insist that the episode was changed as a tribute to Isaac Hayes following his departure from the show two days earlier.[29][30]
The following day, the Hollywoodinterrupted.com blog alleged that Comedy Central parent Viacom canceled the rebroadcast due to threats of Cruise to boycott the publicity tour of his upcoming film Mission: Impossible III.[31][32] These assertions were soon also reported by E! News and American Morning.[32][33] Fox News attributed threats from Tom Cruise, stating, "to back out of his Mission: Impossible III promotional duties if Viacom didn't pull a repeat of the episode," as evidence of "bad blood" between Cruise and Viacom (which also owns Paramount Pictures, the distributor of MI:III).[34] CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer also cited "industry sources" who believed the episode was pulled "because the network and Tom Cruise's current movie studio are both owned by the same corporation."[35] The New York Post noted that Cruise had "a history of playing hardball", alleging that he had been responsible for having a sex scene featuring his then fiancée Katie Holmes removed from the film Thank You for Smoking prior to its release.[30]

That was the episode that made Isaac Hayes (Chef) leave Southpark, as he is into this BS, and didn't like them having a go a Scientology.

crab people, crab people, crab people...
south park rocks!
the episode after chef leaves is good too! when he comes back and the "club" he went off with had made him become sexually attracted to children. They mixed his voice together from other episodes. In the end he gets killed, but the speech at his funeral by Kyle says it all really.
"Chef made some decisions during these past few days that we dont agree with... but we love him and dont blame him, we blame the "club" he joined for brain washing him"
You guys REALLY should watch this episode:

One day the citizens of South Park wake up and find the Internet is gone. When Randy hears there may still be some Internet out in California, he packs up his family and heads west.
:D

hahaha one of the funniest episodes imo. randy marsh is the most underated guy in SP. in this episode he is so addicted to porn that when the whole internet goes away, they have this camp in california where only some internet is left and the computer is placed safely into a truck. randy goes there and shags like hell....he then blames it on a ghost:p:p

LMAO i loved the 9/11 episode :D i was laughing my ass off when they were taking the pish outta conspiricies and conspiritors. LMAO i couldnt help but think of this forum also during it LMFAO
oh gawd im gonna watch that episode right now :D
i love that Matt and Trey really dont give a shit for either side of the argument and they are not afraid to rip into themselves either.
its healthy and strong natured of them. they dont need to look into the "truth" because they naturally are the "truth".
im sure our generatins you have watched south park from the beginning have gained so much from their episodes.
gawd i hope we have south park after the shift comes :p really cant be doing without it. i recently watched an interview with them where they said they want to do at least another 15-20 episodes........ sweeeeeeeeeetah!
