South Park (TV Series) Chickenlover (1998) User Reviews

A fun South Park with an unlikely crime to solve

[AlsExGal · 8/10 · 7 October 2018]

Comedy Central was doing a South Park marathon yesterday and this episode came on. It is fun to see South Park before it began to try and lecture the audience, even if it is lecturing from a libertarian viewpoint and poking fun at political correctness.

All around town, somebody is sexually assaulting chickens. Worse for Officer Barbrady is that the perpetrator is leaving notes at the crime scene saying that the next clue is in books. Why is this bad for Barbrady? Because he can't read. He admits this to the town, and the town gives him paid leave while he goes back to elementary school to learn to read. Unfortunately for the town of South Park, two things happen. Barbrady decides he really likes being a kid again and doesn't hurry his project of learning to read along at all. Second, Cartman really likes being Barbrady's deputy in the meantime, and he seems to think that police brutality is part of the job.

How will this all work out? Well for sure, somebody is going to kill Kenny like they do every week, but for the rest, watch and find out.

Cartman as a police officer!

ChickenLover is a very funny South Park episode which features Cartman as a police officer and the first time he says "Respect My Authoritah".There is a man going around having sex with chickens.He leaves clues to where he will hit next, but Officer Barbrady cannot read.He quits and South Park goes into total chaos.The mayor sends Barbrady back to school so he can learn to read but school does not help him much.So the boys decide to teach him how to read the clues and the books needed to catch the chickenf****r(or chickenlover).Meanwhile, Cartman fills in for Barbrady and catches criminals! ChickenLover is a funny and good South Park episode!

Chickenlover (#2.3)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 21 September 2015]

With this episode South Park goes back to it's high class comedy level because one just keeps on laughing throughout the episode.

The idea itself is crazy and fun. I mean there is nothing fun about animal abuse, but when in a cartoon there is a guy who rapes chickens it is a bit absurd. And not just that, they call him "chicken lover" for the sake of children! When we find out the motivation of the "chicken lover" it is so senseless that it is hilarious.

And a big part of why this episode goes so great goes to the small part of Cartman taking over the police duties. "Respect my autoritha!!!!" is a classic line all South Park fans know.

Respect My... Love For Chickens

[RicketyCricketImposter · 8/10 · 15 December 2021]

This is a great one, only because of Cartman. That's right, I said it, Cartman saved the day. Is it sad that Officer Barbrady can't read? Yes. It's also sad that homeless people exist, therefore I do not have to enjoy Officer Barbradys A plot. 8.2 For Cartman.

South Park turns towards anarchy and Cartman is a deputized police officer!

[SLionsCricketreviews · 7/10 · 9 September 2017]

Here is an episode worth watching just for Cartman and his brilliant antics! There's also a second instance of Stone & Parker reverting to meta for humour value, that of Kenny and his close calls with death!

Beyond Cartman, who is hilarious, there isn't much for me to add to this one. It's well paced and has a decent plot but it never finds anything remotely as interesting as the concept of Cartman as a police officer.

An otherwise, OK episode, Cartman really elevates this one. His scene with Randy is hilarious. "Respect mah authoritah" should be a classic line if it already isn't.

Small Doses

[injury-65447 · 7/10 · 15 July 2020]

I would like to rate this episode higher but I can't due to Barbrady's voice. It's just so Annoying! In small doses it's okay but you have to endure so much of his yammering in this episode.

Cartman as A cop is the highlight!
