to be fair it was later revealed that issac hayes wasnt pissed at matt and trey and he had a stroke, and was hidden by the cos and they were keeping he from of everyone. issacs son came out and said this.
Chef is the only character in the show that Cartman actually likes and respects, that's how great of a character he was. RIP Chef , gone but never forgotten.
The only characters I remember cartman being sad to see they were gone were chef, the jakovasaurus, Kenny sometimes and (spoilers for future eps) . . . . . . . . . . The female teacher they had after garrison turned into trump
@@SelectiveApathy82 I think Trey and Matt said in a interview that after learning what truly happened with Hayes, they would not bring Chef back out of respect for him.
Isaac Hayes never quit. Someone else quit for him. He had a stroke and lost the ability to speak. So, one of his colleagues texted The South Park Crew in Hayes' name, saying that he quits because they made fun of Scientology. His son later revealed the truth
My understanding is that Hayes did quit, but they all left on really good terms. Then a few months later, a statement was put out purporting to be from Hayes just ripping into M&T. So that’s when they went this route. Everyone found out later that Hayes had nothing to do with that statement. He’d had a stroke by that point (I said it then and I’ll say it now- his death’s timing is WEIRD). I don’t know if the “church” wrote something and had him sign it, or just flat out made up things he never said or saw, but the catalyst for the underlying animosity in this episode came from that.
It should be noted that recent events have revealed a different story than what was previously told. This episode is based on Isaac Hayes walking out on South Park in response to them bashing Scientology (Isaac Hayes was indeed a Scientologist), but the story is a lot more complicated. Amidst the episode’s production Isaac shared grievances regarding how afraid he was of Trapped in the Closet airing, saying that he was pressured by his fellow Scientologists to quit or stop the episode from airing, and therefore adding a lot of stress on his stance. The episode aired, he quit, but not because he was offended as everyone, Matt and Trey included, thought. His deteriorating health was the problem. He suffered a stroke and couldn’t speak on his own, leading to the Church of Scientology to pull him out of South Park on his behalf. Isaac Hayes’s son has come out and stated that his father would have never quit, and especially not in writing (his quitting statement was a letter if I remember). If he wanted to quit, he’d have done it in person. Isaac died two years later from his health issues, as Scientology prescribes exercise over medication, leading to an early death. I bring this up because this episode was made in the moment, with feeling of betrayal and sadness throughout the whole thing, all because of a lie on the part of a petty community Isaac chose to believe in. And, even without the more recent info, Matt and Trey still believed in their friend’s character, with Kyle at the end stating that it wasn’t Chef’s (Isaac Hayes) fault, but rather that fruity little club that scrambled his brains (Church of Scientology that betrayed his trust). It’s really sad through and through, but Isaac Hayes and Chef will always be remembered as amazing parts of the show and it’s community, and we’ll never forget him nor the laughs he gave us.
@ Yeah, full context is super important considering Isaac Hayes’s character if he did quit on his own accord. If he did, he’d seem petty for not being able to take what he could dish out. That’s obviously not true, and the new info is proof of that.
@@KatamariParty exactly, and with all the infiltration that has been going on into scientology in the last years and all thats been discovered, the story feels a 100% true even if we’ll never get Isaac’s side saddly 😕
I always wanted to see another episode with 'Chef Vader', but after Isaac Hayes passed, I suspect Matt and Trey decided not to follow through with it. Also, I loved the reference to "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes," which is another one of my favorites! 😄
For some reason, losing chef as a character feels like the end of an era for South Park. I can’t explain it. It just does. It’s like when they lost Mary Kay Bergman in season 3. This episode is rough to watch, but it’s definitely one of the most personal episodes
The Super Adventure Club is a super wealthy NAMBLA. NAMBLA just had poor regular working schlubs, that's why they never had any real clout. Super Adventure Club has oil tycoons, Big Tech CEOs, industrialists, Hollywood actors and actresses, Prime Ministers, Presidents, and Taylor Swift.
17:47 "Noooooo Chef. Chef noooooooo. SHE'S NOT A KID CHEF...." Omg that part is absolutely epic. The guy's more distraught by chef being into the obese woman than him being a PDFile. That's a true South Park viewer there. Moldova will finally become a legitimate country i believe
So after the Scientology episode, Matt and Trey received a letter from Issac Hayes' representative (at Scientology) saying he would no longer be working on South Park because he was angry with their portrayl of Scientology. In reality, Hayes had suffered a stroke, and while he was recovering, Scientology took advantage of him. Matt and Trey only found this out well after the fact and this episode was their way of coping with it. Hence "We shouldnt be mad at Chef, we should be mad at that fruity little club". And "Something is making him say that suff" is a reference to the CoS speaking for Hayes. You might be interested to know that Issac Hayes was found dead next to a treadmill. A recovering stroke victim, using a treadmill unsupervised. Huh.
12:05 Pretty sure the Super Adventure Club sounding like the Adventure Club but being the opposite is a reference to Scientologists soundling like Scientists but being the opposite.
I misinterpreted this episode for quite a while. I didn't realize that Scientology went behind Isaac Hayes' back and said he quit the show when they were covering up the stroke. Thought it was Trey and Matt getting back at him. Very sad. RIP Isaac Hayes.
They should bring Chef back in a new South Park movie and have him be voiced by Isaac Heyes' grandson (who is also a musician/actor). Would be great way to reintroduce him
Before this episode was even made the voice actor for Chef died of a second stroke because of the teachings of scientology, and the reason he sounds strange in this episode is because all his lines in this episode are just prerecorded from other episodes being stitched together to make these lines
The story behind this one is Chef's VA got mad when they did their episodes about Scientology, his religion, and he refused to resume his role so they cut and passed voice lines together to make this episode and the next to write him out of the show. All of this before his VA sadly passed. While an unbelievably pretty way to do it Matt and Tray stuck to their guns about giving no one special treatment to preserve the show's integrity.
Just that later his son revealed that Isaac had no beef with Trey and Matt, and it was the Scientology people who wrote/said bad things on Hayes' behalf, while he himself was unable to speak and bound to the hospital bed
when i was young my family had one of those red and white volkswagen vans and we called it the hippie van. my sister bought my mom a sticker for the back that was of Chef wearing this fuzzy purple pimp jacket
It's obvious when I try to think of this from Matt and Trey's perspective that this was supposed to be an attack on scientology and how they fry people's brains but I still don't like what they did to Chef.
Usually every southpark episode always made me laugh. Even if the episode wasn't that good. But this is one of the saddest southpark episodes ever. Trey and Matt knew issac hayes a lot more than that fruity little club scientology. This episode is telling us, Don't blame issac hayes. Blame scientology for taking him away from us! RIP chef/ issac hayes.
This is the only episode I actually hate kinda cause chef left and killing him off sucked.. and it’s all kinda “misunderstanding” and the creators of south park being bitter, but understandable so.. this is all caused by Scientology and people being asshats.. the entire episode feels so off and horrible lol, but it’s alright, love South Park and the voice actor for chef..
This has likely been commented on already, but the reason Chef sounds so odd in this episode is that his dialogue was stitched together from past used and unused voice lines as Isaac Hayes obviously wasn’t going to be doing them. Edit: Toli cottoned on.
_Love this episode! i recommend you +🔥 S 18, Ep. 3 - *The Ci55y* S 21, Ep. 5 - *Hummels & Her0in* Those 2 episodes do not need any context♡ BONUS TRACK (try watching first 2 episodes) - *The Office US* (TV Series 2005-2013) - *Drawn Together* (TV Series 2004-2007) - *Malcolm in the Middle* (TV Series 2000-2006) ,
I always wonder what happened to Chef, I always like to pretend that he was still on that vacation island with all the ladies with him But as South Park Logic, only Kenny can come back, while the rest never return, like Ms. Choke, Michal Jefferson Jackson, and now Chef…don’t know what happened to Blanket
He was pissed off they made fun of Scientology so he quit Then they got revenge by using his voice clips to make him a pedophile who was brainwashed by a silly little club Then tore him apart and killed his character off
TOLI I've been following ur SP REACTING journey since DAY ONE // I really have been missing that side of you for a while now /// we connect with you sharp clever-fuck intelligence AND you fierce emo-side WAY MORE THAN YOUR LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP TO UR VILLAGE PRIEST!!! //tho its been kinda funny for the first 20-50 episodes;) + where do we send our TOLI-YAOI-FAN-ART at?
Because Chef's VA left the show at this point, they had to use archived voicelines for the episode. It helps that he was brainwashed so it made more sense that he sounded off. I might be wrong but I think they did this with a few previous episodes too
Just clear something up once and for all for me Toli. Is your EX…..the male village priest, or a good-looking guy around your age(or thereabouts) or a good looking girl around your age?(or thereabouts). How do you actually swing?
I hate how they kill chef and in such a shitty way... my least favourite ep of SP just because of how Matt and Trey did it... its screwed up; they acknowledge he was loved and stuff but then make him die in the worst most disrespectful way. Definitely an end of an era... SP was never the same again.
what are you talking about? The chef is not death! he is now a DarthVader Chef. The scene of Chef being torn apart/dismembered by animals is a metaphor for how Matt and Trey felt when Chef betrayed them and left the show, not just because of Scientology, but because he wanted to, Chef changed. Matt and Trey didn't change, they were and still are real! The old classic chef no longer exists, for that reason he was changed to LordVader Chef (a very clever symbolism)

@@migmalucogachatm5618 yeah, but it hits diffrent when it comes to Chef being gone.
There are many supremely talented voice actors out there who could near-perfectly replicate Isaac Hayes’ voice. They really should bring Chef back.
@@SelectiveApathy82 I think Trey and Matt said in a interview that after learning what truly happened with Hayes, they would not bring Chef back out of respect for him.
Cartman worshipped Mel Gibson and Rob Reiner till they revealed their true colors.

He should never, EVER have been a part of Scientology to begin with. I find it hard to sympathize with his.
@@83gemm They are goddamn terrorists...

His final acting credit was in the infamous Return to Sleepaway Camp as the Camp Chef. He even wears a similar outfit to Chef!

Sad Fact: The used pre-recorded dialogue for chef's lines. He already left the show prior to this episode. RIP Chef 💔
This episode hit you hard, there was hardly any village priest jokes :)
The Scien- I mean Super Adventure Club members were probably already giving him more flashbacks than he could handle.
:)
I was thinking exactly the same thing. 😆👍
I always wanted to see another episode with 'Chef Vader', but after Isaac Hayes passed, I suspect Matt and Trey decided not to follow through with it. Also, I loved the reference to "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes," which is another one of my favorites! 😄
But they did still have Clyde somehow turn him into a Nazi zombie in the Stick of Truth game.
Chef's death honestly pushed Cartman further into his evil
Cartman went into his (fake) "Women are funny, deal with it" phase after this.
This episode gaslighted me into thinking there was another part, youre not alone
Me too
The most painful episode
It is like watching somebody die for 30 minutes over and over
For some reason, losing chef as a character feels like the end of an era for South Park. I can’t explain it. It just does. It’s like when they lost Mary Kay Bergman in season 3. This episode is rough to watch, but it’s definitely one of the most personal episodes
Can we get margaritaville? I can’t seem to find it in your playlist
You know it's a serious episode when there's no Village priest jokes
"The first explorer to bugger all the underage mountainfolk of Nepal" 😂
RIP Chef. That damn fruity little club did this to him. He will be remembered for his amazing songs.
The Super Adventure Club is a super wealthy NAMBLA. NAMBLA just had poor regular working schlubs, that's why they never had any real clout. Super Adventure Club has oil tycoons, Big Tech CEOs, industrialists, Hollywood actors and actresses, Prime Ministers, Presidents, and Taylor Swift.
I've always wondered where spontaneous bootay came from when playing the game. Now i know it was this episode.
dammit, they ruined Toli`s Christmas present with that doll.

"Noooooo Chef. Chef noooooooo. SHE'S NOT A KID CHEF...."

RIP Chef :(
This is the Best, (in a funny way) - Thanks Toli!
Detective Jarvis and the doll scene had me fucking LMAO when I first saw it. Poor Butters 😂😂😂😂
"Did Chef ever try one of these on for size?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction but why did you stop moral Orel

17:18 😂😂SPONTANIUS BOOTAY
all of his voice lines were cut from previous episodes, that's why he sounds so off
Dolly style 😂
15:20 TH-cam poop never dies. Maybe you should react to some
Idk if anyone else noticed but he literally died on a burned bridge..
Can’t believe I didn’t notice it back then but it make sense now 😭
@MarxasThomas all good, actually just noticed it now. Missed it on my first watch
6:04 - 6:15 😆Giving you flashbacks about the village priest, @Toli?
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣Just kidding!
The bar was also in the fractured butwhole
I still watch ytp
unless you are the one religion they almost got shot for having an episode about!
I have had cartman singing jesus baby in my head for weeks, i blame you. How are we going to fix this?
They should bring Chef back in a new South Park movie and have him be voiced by Isaac Heyes' grandson (who is also a musician/actor). Would be great way to reintroduce him
¡WE FN NEED IT! We need to see darth chef
and he lived for eternity, until he was hit by a train in 1892
I'm pretty sure TH-cam Poops were already a thing when this episode came out.
27:52
The deep voiced stripper is also the school's receptionist in a few episodes but she has few lines.
"Terrance & Phillip In: Not Without My Anus" doesn't seem so bad now, does it?
9:10 ... Did..did you say Toli-style..?? Muahahaha.
I think he said Dolly-style

That's wrong, Hayes was still alive when this aired, he died 2 and 1/2 years later.
I believe the last episode Isaac Hayes recorded lines for was "Die Hippie Die".
Ironic that the last line he recorded was “I’m alive!”
I was in a novelty shirt shop in Orlando once, and i saw a South Park shirt with a picture of chef dead on the back. It was from this episode.
19:36 That looks more like Crocodile Dundee than Steve Erwin to me
Definitely Mick Dundee.... 🐊

Day 5 of asking Anatoli to react to a classic family guy episode as the 10k sub special just to make fun of it
when i was young my family had one of those red and white volkswagen vans and we called it the hippie van. my sister bought my mom a sticker for the back that was of Chef wearing this fuzzy purple pimp jacket
I love how Super Adventure Club is "S.A.C".
I hope Matt and Trey watch your reactions because I think they would laugh their a**es off
6:00 Yeah, not gonna lie, this is basically the equivalent of Hagrid becoming an Un-life Eater.
It's obvious when I try to think of this from Matt and Trey's perspective that this was supposed to be an attack on scientology and how they fry people's brains but I still don't like what they did to Chef.
Don't feel bad, he was a scientologist.
This was the most orquid episode of South Park at the time. Most people have forgotten about it now.
i mean..i dont blame people for forgetting it..its painful to see chef's demise in the show and in real life
Soon enough, you'll be ready for 200 and 201
I haven't rewatched this episode since it premiered. I always hated it for how dirty they did Isaac Hayes. ☹️
Usually every southpark episode always made me laugh. Even if the episode wasn't that good.
But this is one of the saddest southpark episodes ever. Trey and Matt knew issac hayes a lot more than that fruity little club scientology.
This episode is telling us, Don't blame issac hayes. Blame scientology for taking him away from us!

😂 priest live for ever
This show was so cathartic. We'll miss you, Hayes and I'm sorry but "oh no, a mountain lion" is pretty hilarious
You could kill vampires with the kind of point this show makes
For me this was the most sad and dramatic episode of South Park
P.S. Toli, we all still what for your reaction on South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Ooo I was hoping you'd do this one. It's a weird and sad episode. The last of Chef and a last ditch effort (I think) to get Isaac Hayes back.
This episode is sad 😭
This has likely been commented on already, but the reason Chef sounds so odd in this episode is that his dialogue was stitched together from past used and unused voice lines as Isaac Hayes obviously wasn’t going to be doing them. Edit: Toli cottoned on.

But as South Park Logic, only Kenny can come back, while the rest never return, like Ms. Choke, Michal Jefferson Jackson, and now Chef…don’t know what happened to Blanket
The scientology beef isn't actually true. His son came out and said that wasn't y he left the show, if memory serves me right

He was pissed off they made fun of Scientology so he quit
Then they got revenge by using his voice clips to make him a pedophile who was brainwashed by a silly little club
Then tore him apart and killed his character off

I can’t believe I’m catching the premiere live!
this one was funny. they just used old clips for his voice for this episode.
Someone gotta kick Uncle Bud's ass
Because Chef's VA left the show at this point, they had to use archived voicelines for the episode. It helps that he was brainwashed so it made more sense that he sounded off.
I might be wrong but I think they did this with a few previous episodes too
"Like a chocolate salty treat?" 😂
"Spantaneus Boo Tay" tasted way, way worse than salted chocolate......trust me.
F in the comments for Chef :(
Please react to these episodes:
Over Logging

Just clear something up once and for all for me Toli. Is your EX…..the male village priest, or a good-looking guy around your age(or thereabouts) or a good looking girl around your age?(or thereabouts). How do you actually swing?
Well?
Chef is now bad boy baby
this was my first time, was really painfull but i enjoyed.
Isaac Hayes was fine with SP making fun of every religion but his own! Hypocrisy at its finest!
Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Yep. This one is worse than Pip.
