I actually first watched the third season of South Park in its entirety back in early June when I was on my earlier South Park kick, but I failed to write about it afterwards, so I recently started watching the whole season online once again to better remember my favorite episodes:
Rainforest Shmainforest:
While on an extracurricular choir trip to Costa Rica to help promote rainforest preservation, the boys and their choir director (played by Jennifer Aniston) end up deciding that the rainforest sucks and isn't worth saving. The funniest bit in this whole thing was easily Mr. Mackey (who was the trip interpreter) using "muy bien" instead of his typical "um 'kay."
Jackovasaurus:
The boys discover a nearly-extinct (and extremely annoying) species called jackovasaurs, and the town responds by trying to get them to breed, which they soon decide was a bad idea. Cartman is really funny in this episode, as is Ned, who loses his voicebox and is forced to communicate via burp-talking.
Chinpokomon:
Kids all over the world become obsessed with a Pokemon-style toy brand which is actually designed to brainwash them into bombing Pearl Harbor. The real-life parody commercials for kids toys shown during the episode are awesome.
Are You There, God? It's Me, Jesus:
Cartman has a stomach virus which makes his butt bleed, but he confuses it with beginning his menstrual cycle. Meanwhile, people pressure Jesus into making a big party for Y2K, and despite God the Father's initial reluctance to do so, he makes a big appearance...turns out he's a diminutive and goofy-looking dragon monster.
Overall, this was easily the season where the show started hitting its stride. Nearly every episode is memorable, and there are plenty more faves in there that I don't have the space to mention. I guess I was lucky it was this season I had to rewatch instead of the first two...
