South Park Timmy 2000 (1997– ) Online

It wasn't necessarily that bad that Blame Canada didn't get the Oscar but it was horrible that Phil Collins and his sappy Disney crap song got it. Trey and Matt rip Collins a new one in this classic episode. He is portrayed as a retard who carries his Oscar with him at all times(In the end it's shoved up his butt) The Ritalin subplot is genius. It makes a valid point but in the South Park fashion the way it makes the point is hilarious. My favorite joke with this subplot is the way the boys are diagnosed with ADD, they have to listen to The Great Gatsby and Farewell to Arms in one sitting. Hearing Cartman say "There ya go" in his mellow drugged voice is worth the price of admission.

The big draw to this episode is Timmy and why not? He is one of the most clever South Park characters. Matt and Trey deserve credit for creating a character who has a personality but can only say his name. Of course people protest Timmy and claim he is offensive. But Matt and Trey have the utmost respect for their character and Timmy's disability is never made fun of.

All and all it's a real stand out episode.

Timmy 2000 marks the introduction of Timmy.The mentally-disabled kid who can only say his name.The boys think Timmy is pretty cool and a band(featuring Skyler from the episode "Cat Orgy") overhears him.He then lets Timmy in their band and they become the next big thing.Meanwhile, the teachers think Timmy has ADD and give him Ritalin.The boys notice Timmy does not have to do homework, so they all pretend to have ADD and all go on Ritalin.Phil Collins then comes to town and everybody enjoys his music.Chef cannot see why though! Phil Collins does not like the way Timmy is being treated in the band and tries to break the band up.He talks to Skyler about how he should be the most important one, which results with him quitting the band.Timmy 2000 is a pretty funny South Park episode.

If you look at the script you will notice one thing to begin with: perfect cinematography.

Despite the fact, that Timmy is handicapped and therefor temporarily rose to be a hit character, the episode just reflects the talent that Matt Stone and Trey Parker have in their profession.

Although moral is an issue that South Park really looks at with a critical eye, "Timmy 2000" proves to be not just entertaining but also "point proving": Laughing at something odd doesn't mean that people don't care about it! Timmy may be handicapped and amusing, but at the same point the creators prove that he has heart and moral, but furthermore, character! These (if only little) shifts of classical story telling make a very enjoyable episode that will definitely be one of "South Park"'s best! And it also doesn't surprise me at all that the character "Timmy" became a cult from this point on!

it's not something we like to admit, but it's true: doctors give medication pills way too soon. by that, we become zombies and sexually frustrated people with all those hormones in our meat. yes, the times we know are bad and it's probably not getting any better... that's why I liked this episode of 'South Park'. it shows us something we may be forgetting: that we are getting accustomed with all that medication, so much we don't actually realize it's there anymore. but the effects are, and they contribute to our thinking and way of life. by becoming zombies, we lose our identities and by losing our identities we become sheep, ready for slaughter. thus it is we must be careful with an overload of medication, because it doesn't help us at all, it makes things only worse.

so far the meaning of this episode. it's a really nice chapter, because it reminds us that not all help actually does help us.
