Honestly I can see where you're coming from, but I'd say meteor shower trilogy if I could pick any starting point for a fresh viewer. It doesn't just have a great story for the boys like this episode, it has 3, and 2 for the adults. And "I DESIRE.... MACARONI PICTURES AND POPCORN NECKLACES!!!!"
Same. Casa Bonita was my first South Park episode and I'm glad it was. My exposure to it was my dad getting into South Park first, finding this episode hilarious, him sharing it with me, and then me finding it hilarious, and then I got interested in exploring the show further.
I'm a Colorado native and I went to Casa Bonita for a friend's birthday in the late 80's. It was really fun, but the most memorable part for me was the wishing well
Three points here, One. It never dawned on me until now that Cartman is so shortsighted, he never had a plan for what to do after Cassa Bonita with butters. He just didn’t think of it. Two. It’s sad that there’s still a decent chance that butters got grounded after he got found. Three. I like it at the end when everyone is standing around watching Cartman float in the water everyone looks mad except Kenny who just kind of stares like “yeah that looks like something he’d do.”
It’s wild to think that this show could have never had Butters in it and without him South Park just wouldn’t be South Park. Butters steals every scene he is in and it’s all thanks to their animation director.
No dude. If they'd all decided "you go to Casa Bonita yourself, we need to look for Butters" he'd have probably enjoyed it more. See also: Cartmanland.
@ I don’t disagree but I don’t think it makes my point any less true. If he had just experienced it by himself while everyone else searched, we still would have seen Cartman rejecting genuine human emotion. Albeit in a less funny way
I went to Casa Bonita last week!!!!!! I cannot stress enough how correct it is to call it tbe Disneyland of Mexican restaurants. It's genuinely magical. I went with my parents and my brother (we're both 22) and none of us felt like it was just for kids. We even loved the puppet and magic shows. PLEASE GO IF YOU GET THE CHANCE!!!!!! I'm not even in the same state but I already wanna plan my next trip
it's magical. Was the food any good since they bought it? Matt and Trey said they wanted to improve the menu. It used to be AWFUL but that was kind of special part of the experience.
It's interesting the boys are worried about Butters' disappearance in this episode when just two seasons ago in "Butters' Very Own Episode" Butters was missing, presumed dead, and at the end when he came home Stan casually asked "Butters was missing?" unaware he was ever absent.
I went to Casa Bonita as part of a summer camp when I was a kid in Fort Collins. It’s every bit as awesome and magical as they make it out to be for kids. I went a few times with my family too before the episode was aired and they capture the energy of what that place does to a kid perfectly.
I just realized that all my favorite episodes are Cartman and Butters episodes. I knew before that those are always great, but I didn't realize how many of them are just so much better than the rest.
It never donned on me, why didn’t Cartman try to manipulate his mom into convince Sheila to invite him so that way him, Butters, Kyle, Stan and Kenny could all go to Casa Bonita (or better yet, Cartman could’ve asked his mom if they could go to Casa Bonita at the same time Kyle had his party there).
Good point. I'm guessing that perhaps Cartman wanted not only to get to go to Casa Bonita, but he also wanted to do it specifically through manipulating Kyle into letting him go despite initially not wanting to allow it. It's a way to get something he wants, while sticking it to Kyle in the process. I guess the thrill of manipulating Kyle is like the sprinkles on a cupcake that would make the Casa Bonita experience just a little nicer for Cartman, but idk, I'm just speculating.
I see it like this, Cartman wants to go to Casa Bonita - but his ego probably took a hit when Kyle didn't allow him to go. He wanted Kyle to tell him he can go so he can "win"
Casa Bonita has a Hitchcockian quality to it in part due the way it handles the tension between what Cartman wants and the things continually getting in his way, with the dark secret of what he did to Butters getting closer to being revealed.
Y’know whats funny; the ending of this episode reminds me of the ending of the anime “Death Note” where Light/cartmen are exposed and both their faces go from joy/sadistic glee to “oh shit im caught” in a second. And just like light, eric decides to make a run for it 🤣
10:57, It was nice of Eric to give Kyle a present despite not being invited, plus after Kyle got him Ants in the Pants instead of the red Mega Man, which led to Eric throwing a temper tantrum and ending his party.
I LOVE this episode, but honestly I think Make Love Not Warcraft takes the cake for best single episode. Or Imagination Land if you wanna talk about multiple episodes. I also love the Snooki want Smoosh Smoosh episode (Forgot the actual name), or the like Lesbian 300 Parody against the Persians 😂
My first South Park episode was “Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy”. Loved the episode; really made me think Ike was a savage (true), but also made me think Cartman was just a good dude (definitely not true).
Man, South Park is amazing, me and a friend I work with always talk about it a lot. cat orgy was the very first episode I watched. this was back when South Park used to air on the CW, I don’t know if anyone remembers that but I do.
At 5:30 I think the idea is to layout early on all the things Cartman wants to do at Casobonita so after beating it into your head, its funnier when you see him soeedrun through all of it in the order hes been planning out.
14:56 Some people could see what they imagine VERY realisticly, like if they are imagining holding an apple it just like real life. Some people dont have it at all, some people have it weaker (I really like this topic)
I don't have it. No visual mind or memory whatsoever. It gets embarrassing sometimes if I walk past a relative i haven't seen for a while - I just don't have a saved image of them. Also, you should see how bad I am at drawing, if you saw my stickmen you'd think I was deliberately drawing them badly. Nope, that's my best effort.
There is something with cartman losing things he loves and gaining shreds of humanity from it. Similar to the future episodes where older cartman had turned a new leaf as a jew after losing his friendship with the main cast, but then when they changed reality and got them the basketball game, he turned out to be a bum
I’ve been watching South Park for so long and I was definitely way too young to watch it when I first saw it. Love this episode though I have no clue how to even begin to decide what is my favorite South Park episode
13:45 that's definitely annie, one of the girls from south park elementary. shes always shown in a brown shirt, while tweek is always shown in a green one.
Here’s the thing you’re 100% right this puts a lot of pressure on avowed but just like everything if they deliver an excellent product nobody cares about the context
I struggle to believe Cartman was being sincere when speaking to Kyle. This was just the next step in his journey to learning how to pretend to be good. First he thought it was a nice sweater, then hurting people that are mean to Kyle would be nice Kyle and finally pretending he is ok with not being invited to Casa Bonita.
I live like a block away from Casa Bonita. That place used to blow ass before they bought it. For a good like 10 years they had this gift shop that sat untouched and the food was crap. They definitely made it better.
I just couldn’t believe everything they said about casa Bonita was real. It’s like when I read a review about a car wash by house and they were talking about how they got lunch at the cafe there and about the barber and the masseuse and I just assumed they were trolling or on drugs until I went there and saw it for myself. 😂
the only bad part of this episode is that cartman once again got what he wanted, and even though he did have to suffer the consequence of his actions, we never get to see it
"There's a difference between a narcissist, and being Eric Cartman" is the realest shit that couldve been said, because real narcissists are capable of recognizing that doing horrific things to others is not beneficial to themselves in the long term
I think this episode is really good because for once Kyle doesn't suck. He's actually written likable and not obnoxious in this episode because he's most of the time just the self-rightous version of Cartman. Because when it comes to actually moral characters in the show Butter, Kenny, Stan and Jimmy typically fit the bill better than Kyle.
The fact that this was my first episode makes this even better, I think it’s the best place to start if you never watched South Park
Honestly I can see where you're coming from, but I'd say meteor shower trilogy if I could pick any starting point for a fresh viewer. It doesn't just have a great story for the boys like this episode, it has 3, and 2 for the adults. And "I DESIRE.... MACARONI PICTURES AND POPCORN NECKLACES!!!!"
My first episode was butters bottom bitch. Kind of crazy I still watched more after that B story lol.
Bruh mine was 'big gay Als big gay boat ride'
Same. Casa Bonita was my first South Park episode and I'm glad it was. My exposure to it was my dad getting into South Park first, finding this episode hilarious, him sharing it with me, and then me finding it hilarious, and then I got interested in exploring the show further.
@ the exact same thing happened to me
I'm a Colorado native and I went to Casa Bonita for a friend's birthday in the late 80's. It was really fun, but the most memorable part for me was the wishing well
Same. I remember the first time I went to Casa Bonita. I’ll never forget seeing the gorilla man walking around and seeing the cliff jumpers
i went as a kid too, i remember the atmosphere and decor the most tbh, as well as the Sopaipillas
It's truly the most magical place ever wedged into a strip mall next to an orthodontist.
Did you ever go back now that Matt and Trey bought it? I heard it got entirely remodeled because the food sucked or something.
@gc8568 I haven't made it back, but I do plan on going at some point
Three points here,
One. It never dawned on me until now that Cartman is so shortsighted, he never had a plan for what to do after Cassa Bonita with butters. He just didn’t think of it.
Two. It’s sad that there’s still a decent chance that butters got grounded after he got found. Three. I like it at the end when everyone is standing around watching Cartman float in the water everyone looks mad except Kenny who just kind of stares like “yeah that looks like something he’d do.”
Butters: I can’t survive an apocalypse, my parents will ground me!
I don’t think Cartman cared about the consequences to be honest
It’s wild to think that this show could have never had Butters in it and without him South Park just wouldn’t be South Park. Butters steals every scene he is in and it’s all thanks to their animation director.
Butters didn't have a speaking role until the middle of season 3. Before that, he was just a background character.
What about pip? He's kinda similar to butters
@@jettSki-123Pip is Butters if Butters was English and therefore gay and bad
I think Cartman didn’t like how being left out felt. I think we see Cartman decided to be unhinged instead of experiencing genuine human emotion
he 100% did this for himself and the ending confirmed it when he said losing all of his friends was worth it
No dude. If they'd all decided "you go to Casa Bonita yourself, we need to look for Butters" he'd have probably enjoyed it more. See also: Cartmanland.
@ I don’t disagree but I don’t think it makes my point any less true. If he had just experienced it by himself while everyone else searched, we still would have seen Cartman rejecting genuine human emotion. Albeit in a less funny way
The speech did feel genuine though
Scott Tenerman must die is definitely the most infamous, but this one is certainly up there.
Overrated tbh. Good sure, but it's all chock-factor.
@axelkjell2320 I'm not saying it's my favorite episode, but it is definitely the most infamous.
No one you said “this one”
@@hometown.5841 I don't know what this means...
@@axelkjell2320I really like it, because it was where I feel like cartman really hit his stride

Heard the waitlist is insane
it's magical. Was the food any good since they bought it? Matt and Trey said they wanted to improve the menu. It used to be AWFUL but that was kind of special part of the experience.
@@johns8364 the food is good 👍 and the experience is worth it! 🫡

Everything changed once Butters invited Kyle to his last birthday party
I went to Casa Bonita as part of a summer camp when I was a kid in Fort Collins. It’s every bit as awesome and magical as they make it out to be for kids. I went a few times with my family too before the episode was aired and they capture the energy of what that place does to a kid perfectly.
The montage of Cartmen calling Kyle a Jew and the musical segment always makes me chuckle.
7:09 this is even funnier with context from season 9 since as far as I'm aware, Jimmy is the only South Park kid to canonically bone an older woman
Ike
Hi Slush i came here from the Bloom analysis on Ceric artman and want to thank you for being a human 💖

Definitely one of the greatest South Park episodes of all time. Loved the analysis, dude.
13:29 Butters is making the same face he makes on school picture day that gets him grounded in the butt-faced people episode.
I think his eyes are open in the school picture episode
@@skeletonbuyingpealts7134 no
The repopulate the earth joke gets me every time lol
Blooms sent me here for quality content. I got what i came for. Subbed. Thanks.
I love how at the end Eric gets to cliff dive into the pool just like he wanted.
18:38 you missed such a good joke you could have said *butters is pretty good at turning garbage into garbage*
I love the way you ended the video with the last clip of the ep, your outro music made it better lol
Y’know whats funny; the ending of this episode reminds me of the ending of the anime “Death Note” where Light/cartmen are exposed and both their faces go from joy/sadistic glee to “oh shit im caught” in a second. And just like light, eric decides to make a run for it 🤣

18:40 "BUTTERS NOOOOOOO"
I actually lost it, that was perfect
I don't know if this was intentional, but when Cartman jumps off the waterfall I think it was a reference to The Fugitive.
I LOVE this episode, but honestly I think Make Love Not Warcraft takes the cake for best single episode. Or Imagination Land if you wanna talk about multiple episodes. I also love the Snooki want Smoosh Smoosh episode (Forgot the actual name), or the like Lesbian 300 Parody against the Persians 😂
Cartman’s tears were cried for one
This is my fave episode of the entire show!!! Great video
8:25 this was 100% him faking it. He was playing off the trope from movies or TV where you ger rewarded for figuring out the lesson
its the best because we get to hear butters sing "if you leave me now" 🤣😊
Indeed, one of the best episodes ever, great video
My first South Park episode was “Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy”. Loved the episode; really made me think Ike was a savage (true), but also made me think Cartman was just a good dude (definitely not true).

Slushhh! I found you through Bloom & J2C's video on AI TH-camrs. You so rock!!! Loved this video
If you’re in the Colorado National Guard and re-enlist or extend you get a free meal at Casa Bonita

I’ve been watching South Park for so long and I was definitely way too young to watch it when I first saw it. Love this episode though I have no clue how to even begin to decide what is my favorite South Park episode
This guy is awesome! Appreciate the videos 👍
I felt like crying seeing how easily Butters got manipulated 😭😭 And he looked so genuinely scared
Scott tenorman chili was up there, same with Christmas critters
Man you deserve more subscribers you’re awesome dude.🙏🧔🏻♀️
Honestly if I ever visit US again, I gotta go to casa bonita
1:57 IS THAT CLINT EASTWOOD BY GORILLAZ
came here from blooms this is literal quality subscribedddd
Casa Bonita fue lo mas worth it que any other episodios :'3
Your one of the most underrated cartoon content creators around 💯
13:45 that's definitely annie, one of the girls from south park elementary. shes always shown in a brown shirt, while tweek is always shown in a green one.
this and fun with weapons are my two favorite episodes in the whole show
I'd say the imagination land episode is also pretty iconic
fleetwood mac playing in the background is amazinng
Iconic from the second it aired!
"he can see his thought bubbles? We need to study him in the lab!"
Wait, you guys are not seeing your thoughts?
you get an extra thumbs up for the megaman music in the background ^^
Here’s the thing you’re 100% right this puts a lot of pressure on avowed but just like everything if they deliver an excellent product nobody cares about the context

First he thought it was a nice sweater, then hurting people that are mean to Kyle would be nice Kyle and finally pretending he is ok with not being invited to Casa Bonita.
I always thought the one thing this episode was missing, was for one of the cops on top of the waterfall to say "Look around you. You're caught."
you referenced my favorite beatles song on a video of my favorite show. instant subscribe
Nice Dr. Wily music drop...for the tension!
Wow can I just say great choices in music for the background also the video essay in itself blows every single white thumbnail slop out of the water
Is it normal my dad introduced me to South Park at 3? And now my 2 year old step cousin is watching either Dora or South Park😭💀
I live like a block away from Casa Bonita. That place used to blow ass before they bought it. For a good like 10 years they had this gift shop that sat untouched and the food was crap. They definitely made it better.
Casa Bonita is pretty high up there but I personally love "make love, not warcraft" It's absolutely amazing
Its fun and food in a festive atmosphere, whats not to love?
18:38 that is a perfect representation of Cartman
Eric is a unfeeling sociopath
Tell me about it.
This makes me want to go to Casa Bonita
This is the only episode i can remember really well
“Some peoples first episode was Casa Bonita”
I am people. Its my favorite episode
MOST OF YALL DONT KNOW HOW FIRE THAT BEATLES JOKE WAS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im so lucky my older brother just happened to catch the first episode of southpark and yeah it's my all time favorite.
It’s in my top 10, but “Make Love, Not Warcraft” will always be my #1.
Cartman easily could've just got Butters grounded instead of the scheme he pulled in the episode
South Park TH-camr beef is hilarious
Casa Bonita is legit my favorite episode
thank you for tell us about the Casa Bonita episode. from Blooms
Nothing like flash man and metal man bgm to make me struggle between listening to you or the music!
😅
I just couldn’t believe everything they said about casa Bonita was real. It’s like when I read a review about a car wash by house and they were talking about how they got lunch at the cafe there and about the barber and the masseuse and I just assumed they were trolling or on drugs until I went there and saw it for myself. 😂
And then Butters was found and got grounded because he stressed and worried his parents and that he got manipulated.
7:16 always sends me
the only bad part of this episode is that cartman once again got what he wanted, and even though he did have to suffer the consequence of his actions, we never get to see it

Bro is legit playing some MegaMan music in the background lol fucking awesome
the one with the chili con carnival is 100% the best episode
Cartman definitely faked that apology
I also really love this episode
I also really love this episode
I think the waterfall jump may a reference to the movie 'The Fugitive'
cartman is also surprisingly good at turning garbage into cartman, or so a dietition might observe
Usually I don't enioy the episodes in which cartman is the main focus but I love casa bonita anyway.
This video is longer than the episode
Fun fact my first episode of South Park wasn’t even an episode it was the movie the bigger longer uncut movie
13:44 That's Annie. You can tell because Tweek wears green and his shirt isn't buttoned properly.
3:36 and yeah they do do that… so much yap
beatles reference made me smile
Casa bonita was the first SP episode i ever watched
