Product Description

2-DVD greatest hits collection featuring 10 episodes personally selected by the shows creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Amazon.com

Quite a treat for fans of the outrageous animated series, South Park - The Hits: Volume i is a collection of 10 episodes chosen by creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker as their favorites. As seen through the eyes of fictitious elementary school children, South Park is filled with pop culture and political references. Hard to believe, but this seemingly juvenile extravaganza often provides strikingly astute observations on the state of the world. Who would have thought that combining themes like cannibalism, leather daddies, The Lord of the Rings, Catholicism and talking towels intertwined with celebrity parodies of Paris Hilton, John Travolta, Tom Cruise and R. Kelley, would be both eye opening and thought provoking? This set contains all of the aforementioned including some of the grossest of the gross from the series. These particular episodes are the best and the worst (which are sometimes the same thing at the same moment) of South Park and its menagerie of dysfunctional characters. You have to give kudos to a series which not only makes you laugh and think, but can make you physically queasy as well. Not for the faint hearted, this collection gives new meaning to the expression, "so bad it's good." The set also include bonus episodes (these are all regular episodes that will be available on future discs), but the most exiting element is the short, "The Spirit of Christmas," which inspired the series, and is easily as good or better than any episode you've seen. --Rachel Moss

Finally: The Spirit of Christmas

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2006

Verified Purchase

"Hits Vol 1" are 10 of Matt and Trey's favorite episodes. Commentary included with each episode. Also included in the set will be "The Spirit Of Christmas" short. (note: although there were 2 Spirit of Christmas shorts done, I am unaware of which one will be included with this set. I would assume it will be the second one, parts of which were featured season four's "A Very Crappy Christmas")

The episodes included are:

* "AWESOM-O"

* "Best Friends Forever"

* "Casa Bonita"

* "Good Times with Weapons"

* "Red Hot Catholic Love"

* "The Return of the Fellowship of the Rings to the Two Towers"

* "Scott Tenorman Must Die"

* "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset"

* "Towelie"

* "Trapped in the Closet"

Funny episodes-but be aware of possible manufacturing quality issues

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

I got this 2-DVD set of greatest hit of the South Park series, but found that on each disk, I could only successfully play the first episode and maybe part of the way into the second episode before the DVD player would freeze and refuse to play further.

I contacted the seller, who advised that the item was factory sealed and had not been used or damaged before sale.

After resolving the purchase with the seller and Amazon, I was left with a non-playing set of DVDs (but my money refunded). I was about to throw the DVDs away and order a new set, but decided to Google the problem (I agreed with the seller that the DVDs appeared to NOT have been actually damaged, and were instead defective from the factory, and I did not want to order a replacement only to find that it was also mis-manufactured in the same way). Sure enough, I found LOTS of complaints about this specific DVD set.

All complaints matched mine, in that the playing surface of the DVDs seemed to have a cloudy finish that the DVD player's laser could not read through properly. The cloudy finish was not present near the center hub of the DVDs, and since DVDs (like audio CDs) play from the center outwards, this explains why the first episode on each DVD played correctly.

Most complaints that I found described the same cloudy surface, and the troubles that the customers had in getting the problem resolved. But a few people mentioned that the cloudy finish seemed to actually be a thin plastic or paint/varnish coating, almost as if they had been sprayed with something, and that isopropyl alcohol was effective in dissolving it.

I obtained some technical cleaning wipes that can be used to clean optics without scratching (I suppose those micro-fiber cloths sold for cleaning plastic eyeglass lenses would also work). I applied the alcohol to the cloudy side of the DVDs and wiped firmly for about 30 seconds (always wipe optical disks from the center out, NOT in a circular pattern UNLESS you are making small overlapping circles as if doing a polishing operation). After the alcohol dried, it was obvious that the coating was now smeared but not at all removed. It ended up taking me a few repeated operations, each time with a new wipe cloth and fresh alcohol, before it seemed that only a few thin residue streaks remained. I removed those using lukewarm water and dish soap, and gently blotted the DVDs dry (by the way, I had initially tried using just the soap and water without the alcohol, but that did not work). After this laborious treatment, both DVDs played perfectly.

By the way, although it is not apparent to the eye, it seems that the label side of the DVDs also have this cloudy coating (on top of the silkscreen label), and while this does not affect playability, it did impart a slight sticky aspect to the top of the disks, so I cleaned that side as well. Not that the alcohol slightly damages the silkscreen label in the process, but it still looks pretty good.

This is apparently all due to some sort of problem at the DVD manufacturing facility. Just be aware that if you buy this item, you might also find it unplayable unless you take similar steps to remove the coating. Hopefully newer ones will not have this same problem.

Caveat: DVDs and CDs are made in a laminate of a plastic disk, a metal reflective layer, and a clear varnish top coat. Recordable DVDs and CDs also have a dye layer on top of the metalized layer. Using alcohol on recordable optical disks is generally not advised because the alcohol acts as a solvent on the dye, possibly ruining the disk. When necessary, the alcohol should only be applied to the bottom (non-label) side of the disk, as this is the thick plastic layer and it is impervious to the solvent. If you apply even a small amount of alcohol to the top/label side of a disk, it can soak through the varnish and get into the inside layers of the disk. This is not good treatment for a factory 'pressed' disk, and it can be ruinous for a recordable disk. In this case, since the South Park DVDs are commercially pressed and not recordable, I felt safe using the alcohol on both sides of the disk. Still, be aware that excessively applied alcohol can damage the disks; don't soak them with it!

I love "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" so much I have it on every piece of tech I own. We've taken every grandchild to Casa Bonita for his or her birthday because it is exactly as bizarre and cool as the South Park episode portrays. This is an excellent handy emergency collection.

This collection is a great sampling of recent seasons, these are not my top ten but they all fall in to my top twenty. The one episode that should be in here is "Red Sleigh Down" a christmas special from a couple of years ago.

NOT A REAL COLLECTION

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2007

Verified Purchase

I bought this "collection" for my husband that loves South Park and soon he will be deployed to Iraq.
ASA I opened the Fedex package I realized that this was something totally different than I thought but it was when opened the box that i realized it was certainly not worth the money I payed.
First of all it is imported, and there is all over more Japanese than English...this obviously didn't make it easy for me to understand what season and which episodes are on each DVD. The quality of the DVD used is visibly poor and the way everything is presented inside (a whole bunch of DVDs individually wrapped in some kind of plastic sleeves)is really unprofessional.

ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICES
I asked to return the "collection"the morning after i received it but I've been told that i couldn't because I opened the plastic that was sealing the box. But how would I have ever been able to realize the quality of the DVDs inside without opening the box???
Unusual policy as well as the one regarding the exchange of the defective DVDs... BE AWARE, YOU WILL HAVE ONLY 3 days to review all 44 cds in the box !?!?!?!?

DISAPPOINTING.
IT'S NOTHING LIKE A COLLECTION SHOULD BE, IN MY OPINION IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF DVDs PUT TOGETHER.

This had everything I could have wanted. I'm not a South Park season collector so this was a perfect opportunity for me to own these select episodes that just happen to also be my favorites. My only complaint is that you can't select PLAY ALL to include the Bonus Episodes as well, but no big deal.

If you cannot afford (or don't want to buy the complete seasons), then this little volume will give you the best, most outrageous episodes of South Park. Worth the price, but even better if you can get it on sale or find a used copy.
