Three of the series' most unpopular episodes... what's the best of them for you?

I considered putting the two Butters-centric episodes ("Butters' Very Own Episode" and "City Sushi") but decided Butters pretty clearly counts as a main boy in Matt and Trey's eyes at this point.

Anyway, I do love all three episodes, but I think if I could only pick one, it'd be "Pip", because I miss our poor jolly British fellow.

I can't decide between "Not Without My Anus" and "Pip". Both great episodes.

Hello?

What about "About last night"?? And my vote is for that one.

If that is not included...I'd vote for Pip...but that episode should really be included (even though some people showed up for like 2 minutes)....

"About Last Night" still featured the kids. Kyle was concerned about Ike, Stan helped them to the hospital, Cartman was selling TVs stolen in the riots...

"Not Without My Anus" may have the kids in a very short cameo (on T&P's TV), but it's still the best of the three.

"Pip" is a good second, though.

I really enjoyed "Pip." I still chuckle every time I hear, "Hello, I'm a British person."
Actually, I got some good laughs out of all the episodes listed. They take a lot of flack, but they were pretty amusing in their own way. (Yeah, even "Million Little Fibers," which was just so surreal I had to laugh. I mean, stuff like: "...If I was a towel, why would I be wearing this hat, and this fake mustache?" *snerk*) Different isn't necessarily bad, you know? I actually think it's kind of unfortunate that the really different episodes caused so much fallout, I think it made the guys kind of gun-shy.

My pick is Not Without My Anus, because Terrance, Philip, Scott, Saddam Hussein, and Celine Dion were all hilarious.

Pip. I'm a sucker for classic literature.

Pip. I just love hearing that British accent from the narrator.

"Hello, I'm a British Person."

And, on top of that, he is Alex. Horrorshow.

Any episode centered around T&P isn't my favorite at all. Pip was adorable - both the character and the episode.

A Million Little Fibres was desperately short on gags. At the time I couldn't believe Trey and Matt had anything to do with the writing, I'd loved pretty much every previous episode (the sole exception being Jakovasaurs) and the crippling disappointment came out of nowhere.
It's a bit different now, because in my opinion the show's quality consistency is nowhere near what it was back then. Possibly it's due to being older; many of those earlier episodes don't make me laugh the way they used to either. But whichever, AMLF doesn't stick out as the blot on South Park's record that it used to.

Still a very distant third behind the other two though. First is easily Not Without My Anus, as that first year's run of South Park had a machine gun gag-rate that still cracks me up after all these years and numerous viewings. And the version of Saddam Hussein was absolutely inspired. Relax guy, I'm not hiding any bombs. Put your feet up. Look over there.

To put it another way...
"Why does Scott hate us, Phillip?"
"Perhaps he's homophobic."
"But... we're not gay, Phillip!"
"We're not?"
