Randy takes the boys to KFC after their soccer practise.They find that the KFC has been replaced with a store that sells medicinal marijuana.Randy is excited but then finds out that he needs a doctor's approval in order to buy it.The only way he can get it is through cancer, so he tries to get cancer.He gets testicular cancer by sticking his testicles in a microwave and his testicles grow huge.The episode debates whether or not we should make medicinal marijuana legal or illegal.Meanwhile, Cartman is angered at the fact that KFC is closed everywhere.He is addicted to it and later finds an underground illegal KFC operation.He starts to work for them, in order to get KFC, however as in the film "Scarface", he turns on his boss and becomes the main KFC dealer.Medicinal Fried Chicken is a fairly good episode.Not as good as "Scrotie", but still an interesting episode with funny moments.I also really enjoyed the "Scarface" references.

Men what a show

This is one of the best South Park episodes. The references are great. The comparison between unhealthy food and drugs. The consequences of prohibitions, people will go under any circumstances to achieve their desires, also, they will abuse of laws in order to obtain their drugs. Also the innocent victims of the drug war, a war made with the only purpose of prohibit something that must be a right to persons to consume. The ridicule of some law, especially the ones about legal medicinal marijuana. Seriously, one of the best South Partk Episodes. It criticizes everything about the war against drugs. As always south park satire makes everything a lot easer to understand.

South Park on drugs

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 4 November 2021]

"Medicinal Fried Chicken" is the third episode from season 14 of the successful long-running animated television show South Park. Just like the other episodes, it runs for approximately 22 minutes and deals with some of the current issues of our time. You can read what the focus is on here in the title of my review. There are basically two seperated stories. The first involves marijuana, the second is about Kentucky Fried Chicken. The irony is that Cartman is a real KFC addict and shows severe signs of withdrawal when he has to get along without his favorite chicken food for a while. So the many, many drug references are in this part of the story, not the one you would think them to be in. For example we see Cartman at a rehab center where he is given a small amount of chicken sauce, so he can cope. Or the people with guns entering the building at the very end as if it is some drug war. Or a very brief inclusion when we see Cartman consume chicken near the end and he cuts it into rows and sniffs it as if it was cocaine. Or of course the scene in which he pulls a gun because the stuff he is about to buy is not pure, but has been cut. Many other examples. In the meantime, Cartman rises in the world of drug (well, chicken) crime and becomes an influential leader himself, although all he really wants is eat KFC all day long.

The second story is about Randy and he is as crazy about weed as Cartman is about chicken. The consequence are gigantic testicles in here. Pay attention to how he is so all about the law and does not want to offer anything to his buddies, but the law backfires and he cannot get anything himself in the end because he cannot enter the building anymore. I think this episode could have done with a duration of 30 minutes. The endings to both stories felt abrupt. I am a bit surprised people here on imdb really, really enjoyed this episode. Okay, there is some bizarre comedy to these men jumping on their huge testicale as if those are spacehoppers, especially in this playful scene when they are jumping down the street. Maybe not a good watch for actual cancer patients this episode. Everybody else can give it a go I guess. Celebrities mentioned are Jamie Oliver and the Pope. You see all four kids on the photo here on imdb, but really only Cartman is included. Thumbs-up.
