    You can really tell where Chef would've shined in episodes following his death. If he was still alive and played his usual charming self as a special sort-of parental figure to the boys, which like none of the regular adults come close to matching, they could've had the potential to be even better. There could've been some unforeseen character development with Stan, Kyle, Cartman or any of the other boys, which would only come around because they'd still have Chef as a mentor to help them grow up and understand life better than how they would with their own parents who mostly just instil bad motives or outright fail at good parenting. Hell Trey and Matt even discussed this briefly in commentary for the episode "The List", saying that Chef could've been a much better substitute than the ghost of Abraham Lincoln.
    While I share the sentimental desire to have Chef return in some way, I don't think it would be a feasible concept at this point.
    What I think could actually be done is introduce a long lost relative or descendant of Chef; what if he had an illegitimate son that we hadn't heard of? It could make sense considering Chef did get around with a lot of women, and one of them he knocked up to where she had a child that they kept secret from everyone in South Park. It would be amazing if we had a new 4th grade student that was Chef's actual, secret son that embodied his father's spirit and act as an homage to Chef and how much of an impact he had. Isaac Hayes himself actually had a son Isaac Hayes III, who coincidentally is also a voice actor and has admitted that he may lend his talents to South Park to pay homage to his father if he was asked. He would be the perfect voice actor for such a character in a Paramount+ special if the concept ever came to be and if Isaac Hayes III was still willing.

    This is a very well put together video, it strikes a balance that really works. One thing I loved about Chef is that Matt and Trey achieved something that shows similar to South Park rarely get right: creating a (somewhat) ‘normal’ character for the viewer to relate to in the whacky world of the show. A lot of TV shows with very outlandish, ridiculous and fun worlds and characters try to put in a middle ground character for the viewer to relate to. But what they get wrong is that they don’t give that character enough to make them actually seem a part of the world, so it makes them stand out in a bad way. That character then becomes annoying, because they’re not as fun as the other characters. Chef never had that problem. He was grounded enough to say “what the fuck?” in a messed up situation, but never said it so often or in a way that it became tiresome.
    I wasn’t expecting to agree this much with this videos points but you make alot of really good arguments man. Definitely gonna be binging your stuff for the next few days

We don't actually have much in the way of verified statements from Hayes himself regarding his departure, but we do have a fair bit of evidence that Scientology stepped in and manipulated his hospitalization to their advantage without his consent or awareness. It also seems plausible that they directly contributed to his death by interfering in his care after he left the hospital due to whatever woo they claim to believe.

    Really ironic that I wanted something similar to that. Something where chef's long lost brother. Or maybe even a son who is the complete opposite of chef in some ways.
    Like how he thinks and someone doesn't like p c principal because of how he thinks chef, Used to be the most reasonable person in the whole show.
    So having somebody who has the same outlook but understands And see that p c principal isn't the speaker for all people, especially chef's race, not even chef himself, would perspect that.

      Would totally be down for South Park to introducing a secret son that Chef had as a guest appearance in a new special. Chef definitely got around with lots of women and one of them he was bound to knock up, so that son we'd never heard of could be a 4th grader that comes to South Park and becomes friends with the boys; I'd love something like that!

    Honestly as much as I love chef I have no idea what role he'd serve if he returns. The boys have all matured alot in the years since his passing (often more so than the adults in the show) they're not as ignorant of the world as they once were and we could even see this prior to chef being written off. He only had 1 speaking role in season 9 and was barely used in the more recent seasons prior to that specifically due to the biys using him less as a crutch for there own lack of knowledge on something.
    He's a great guy, someone we're all nostalgic for, but if he did return we might not see him as much as we'd like outside of maybe the occasional cameo and maybe a plotline or 2.
    Personally I'd rather see Matt and Trey focus more on the newer characters introduced into the show rather than bringing back a character who they themselves were struggling to find a place for as the shows formula changed to make him less relevant.
    I think it also would remove some of the emotional impact of his boss fight in SOT which I consider to be his true send off. It's honestly really nice to see that despite the brainwashing and being a zombie he still fights for his sanity in order to save the kids from himself. Something the other party members (Minus Eric) acknowledge as the fight goes on.

    • @geobroproman739
      @geobroproman739 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Hell yes, I've been thinking of something like that too! Through introducing an actual son that Chef had illegitimately, who was maybe kept secret from South Park (possibly like Cartman's father), it could shed light on more of Chef's past life before he came to South Park. Having a son who embodies his Dad's spirit be a 4th grader that becomes friends with the boys would truly be a sight to see and make for a fantastic and very intriguing Paramount+ special. I don't think bringing Chef back would be the right move, but rather someone related to him that keeps the essence of his character alive and pays homage to him and his late voice actor Isaac Hayes would be the most fitting way possible. Isaac Hayes' own son is actually a voice actor and could be the perfect choice for such a role, if he is ever willing.

    yes. just yes. We need a "new" chef, or at least someone who can fill the void he left behind in the show. When i think about how south park has changed over the years, the lack of chef's voice sits at the top of the list. The hardest part is going to be finding the right way to do it; not a rehash of the past, not ignoring the absence of his character, not "redeeming" what they did to him to kill him off. If it isnt chef himself, but we still want the return of chef's parents, that limits our options down to relatives. What makes the most sense of the relatives list is probably a child or cousin of chef. The biggest problem with a child is simply that chef worked because he was the only rational adult, but it has been long enough since we last saw an actual appearance of chef that seeing his adult kid wouldnt be out of the question (outside of addressing the time bubble of south park and how the kids have never actually grown past 4th grade). Chef's kid just has a lot of potential. How did the brainwashing cult affect chef's family? How much respect and nuance will the kid have for his father's death? Is this new kid the reason chef was such a good father figure in early south park? Chef may have been a bit of a flirt, but it never came off as selfish or one-sided, so does the kid think highly of his father?

    I wish Isaac’s son would come in and be Chef’s son in a future episode. Even if it’s one episode. Maybe have him visit with Chef’s parents during some trifecta high school reunion between Chef’s Parents class, Chef’s, and Chef Jr.’s.
    Why all at the same time you may ask?…. Budget cuts due to Mackey’s reckless spending over the last few years on things? I dunno, I’m not a writer 😂
    It’d still be a nice gesture to the memory of Chef and Isaac Hayes to bring his son onto the show, that’s if he would agree to it.
    Plus they could add in your suggestion to try and save Chef. And make it a point by the end of the episode/special to pass the torch to his son, Chef Jr.
    Because Chef would have done horrible things as Darth Chef, and would need to atone for it.
    Maybe go full parody of Return of the Jedi (Return of the Chef) where you have Chef Jr. & the Boys go and take on the Club again and by the end have Chef throw the leader down a reactor shaft. Chef officially dies, becomes a Jedi Ghost, and Chef Jr. now works at South Park Elementary’s Cafeteria.

    We really need Chef to return so he can confront Garrison and the PC Principal family about their absurdities.
    Unfortunately, I've noticed that Chef's role diminished after Season 7, which is disappointing because he serves as the Anti-Randy-a voice of reason and a generally good, responsible father figure.
    They should also revive Chef’s parents; the Tree Fiddy joke is a classic. Killing off Chef was like eliminating a key part of classic South Park. Although Season 11 was great, it marked the first season without Chef, and after that, South Park became hit or miss for me, especially between Seasons 16 and 20. I was really hoping they'd bring Chef back for the 20th anniversary-a Darth Chef episode would have been ideal.
