MNN Rounds Up Top 5 Green South Park Episodes

Hey, we know environmentalism isn’t usually all that funny. In fact, too many of the stories featured on green blogs across the web are bleak and depressing. That’s why we love stuff like this: MNN’s list of the top 5 green South Park episodes.

Nobody lampoons environmentalism better than Trey Parker and Matt Stone, with episodes focusing on everything from the smugness of Prius owners to an Earth Day Brainwashing Festival. Gotta love it.

Here are #5 and #4 – you’ll have to head over to MNN for the rest.

5) “Rainforest Shmainforest” | Season 3

This hilarious episode features the boys of South Park traveling with an environmental choir called “Getting Gay With Kids” to Costa Rica. Miss Stevens (voiced by Jennifer Aniston) is the leader of the group and urges everyone to “take only photos and leave only footprints” and other green clichés. In the end, chaos ensues and the group ends up collectively hating the rain forest and its inhabitants.

Best line: “Wow, dude, bulldozers rule!”

4) “Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow” | Season 5

Earth Day is coming to South Park — the National Earth Day organization has chosen the town to be the location of its Earth Day Brainwashing Festival. In order to get more kids to tune in and love the Earth, the organizers tell the boys that they must bring television stars Terrance and Phillip to South Park to perform. The treehuggers get violent when things don’t go according to plan.

Best line: “Nothing matters more than saving the planet from Republicans.”
