Isaac Hayes didn't voice act in this episode so technically part one of the two parter was literally his last. Though I'll admit this episode is even sadder as it hits a little too close to home as Isaac Hayes passed away two or three years latter which is one of the reasons why I sometimes get choked up watching this episode. Which makes me sad, this isn't a bad episode it's a good one but all the same it one of those episodes that makes you wonder what would have happened in season 10 had Isaac not left, I'm sure Trey and Matt had further plans for Chef in this season, but we'll never know. It was part 2 for the cliffhanger left in season 9, though due to Isaac leaving the show due to his misguided beliefs (Scientology, yeah, I know bummer), Trey and Matt had to change certain things. Warning do not read unless seen episode.This episode is another honorable mention and is also one of the saddest episodes I've ever seen. Plus the very last scene is also fantastic, Chef changed the meaning of the chocolate salty balls "no, I mean my balls". The conclusion is terrific with the speech of Kyle at Chef's funeral, "we shouldn't be mad at Chef for leaving us, we should be mad at that fruity little club for scrambling his brains". At one point Chef was together with the boys, they could escape but Chef leaved South Park for a reason, Chef dies, a very crazy and brutal scene but also very funny thanks to Cartman. So without Hayes they edited old audio and the result is simply hilarious, certainly this is not our Chef and the boys will try to get him back but the Super Adventure Club want their new f****** child molester, after all they brainwashed Chef to make him think that molesting children all around the world is fine, yes the Super Adventure Club is not at all like the Adventure Club since they don't go around the world seeking for adventure, they only have sex with children be immortals (the founder of the club was immortal until he died!). So pretty much all does make sense but if you know the stuff about the South Park-Scientology-Isaac Hayes case you will appreciate a lot more this episode and actually there is not a lot to know just that the fantastic South Park episode "Trapped in the Closet" satirized Scientology, Isaac Hayes voiced the character Chef but he was a Scientologist and he quick the show because of "Trapped in the Closet". I think that if somebody watches this episode without knowing a thing about the South Park-Scientology-Isaac Hayes case it is still a hilarious episode, like Trey and Matt says on the DVD commentary still it makes sense since here we see that Chef joined the Super Adventure Club and when he returned to South Park after his experience with that sick club he is acting in a very strange way and also he only talks about having sex with the children, simply Chef was brainwashed. So many characters we haven't seen in years could benefit from a sendoff and the creators have proven that any time they attempt it, it would result in one of the strongest episodes of the show.I could get the DVD set of Season 10 and I didn't missed the chance here is the opening episode, a very clever one, more for the "war" against Scientology, of course about Isaac Hayes and in the end a great and really hilarious episode. It intrigues me to see what will they do next for a sendoff of a character. Plus the episode's focus is more to give Chef a good sendoff rather than to be as funny so it's not really a flaw. The episode isn't one of the funniest but it has its good moments. While Chef changing from a caring friend to a child molester seems like a weird storyline, it actually works pretty well in that they are all realizing he isn't the same as he used to be. The ending here is very strong and the rest of the episode is just as good. ![]() This makes it more impactful and I think this episode is even better than Kenny Dies. Except this time, the decision is never reversed. Like Kenny Dies, it's another episode that is a worthy sendoff to a character. And the effect actually works pretty well! Sometimes it is clear when the clips would change, but other times it would blend surprisingly well. In this episode, they worked with all the sound clips that they already had from previous episodes, mashing them together to form sentences. However, that wouldn't stop Trey and Matt from giving his character one last appearance. After the Scientology episode, Chef's voice actor left South Park for good, stating that the show had crossed the line from satire to intolerance.
