An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig was allright, but Death was just plain bad, I don't even want to go into details with it. I recomend this for only die-hard South park fans.

South Park kicks ass!Escpecially this tape

South Park was a sensation almost within days of being aired. The inspired wierdness of the humour and the total lack of political correctness have served the series well. This video details two (yes, only two) episodes of the series. An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig is the archtypal SP episode. At least one scene to make you wonder how this can happen on your television, a couple of running gags, some humour - driven violence and an off beat ending. Suffice to say, the kids attempt to mate an elephant with a pig in order to create smaller elephants, along the way enlisting the aid of an insane genetic engineer who creates a Frankensteins monster type clone of one of the kids. Wierd, but Goddamn funny. Death (the second episode) parodies many of South Parks opponents in merciless fashion. however, after this pair (the final pair of the first half-season) the show is all downhill. With the exception of Halloween and Christmas. both within the next few weeks none of the newer episodes from the second half of season one into season two even come close to matching any of the first half dozen that were made. The inspired insanity has gone to be replaced with a series of stretched, sick plotlines which go way too far with a bunck of one-joke characters (and they are, don't doubt it). This video (and the previous two) are worth getting, and include some incredibly staged and deliberately fake interviews with the writers. But after this one? Nah. END

This videotape contains episodes 5 & 6 of South Park: "An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig": where Kyle's elephant grows too large to ride the bus, so they try to gene-splice the elephant with a pot-bellied pig to reduce its size. Of course things go awry when an evil Stan clone is created from his stolen DNA. And "Death", where Stan's 102 year old grandpa yearns for assisted suicide, while his mom is out protesting the kids' (and Death's) favorite TV show about farting: "Terrance And Philip". This is the weakest of the first 3 South Park videotapes, and all 3 tapes are definitely not for kids and/or pinheads. END

after all the commercialization of it, with the video tapes, shirts, hats, magnets, etc..etc.. it has gotten quite old. I believe the creators of south park are just capitalist pigs just like the poloticians and the corperate guys, what we dont know keeps the contracts alive, dont fall into the capitalist BS, anarchy forever... END

I thought this was the best South Park video from 8 other videos.I like when Stan's clone was relised from Mespsito into the town of South Park. Mostly I like Death because Stan's grandpa wants Stan to cause suiside to himself.Then the town goes to New York to stop them from watching Terrince and Philip.Also when Kenny gets esplosve dierria and gives to the whole town.That is my result on the video.

AN ELEPHANT MAKES LOVE TO A PIG: Occasionally crap eppisode has Stan experimenting what turns out when an elephant screws a pig. DEATH: OK episode has "Death" coming to kill Stan's grandpa. More of the same; as I said in my review for VOL. 2 you should get the later videos.

I got this one for my birthday from a friend who thought I liked the show. The "Elephant..." episode had me crying it was so poor. "Death" was actually fairly mediocre, especially when Granpa kept calling Stan "Billy". Apart from that more attempted vulgarity trying to be accepted as "shock comedy".
