Episode 14 - Créme Fraiche
Wow. Dirtiest episode of the season by far. Medical Fried Chicken was one thing, but this is something entirely different.
Créme Fraiche focuses on Randy Marsh and his erotic obsession with the Food Network. Beginning with with a hilarious parody on porn, I found Randy's actions reminiscent of certain scenes from Over Logging (s12e06).
Fed up with having to fix Randy's mess (both in the metaphoric and figurative sense), Sharon leaves the house and acquaints herself with the "Shake Weight" - the newest "as seen on TV" workout gimmick. Shaking a dumbbell shaped weight, the Shake Weight gives the user a very literal practice for a certain explicit act. And the voice controls make for a flattering Stephen Hawking.
A familiar remark is heard at South Park Elementary - "Hello there children!" "How's it going?"
Is this a return of the beloved Chef ? No - it's Randy, who has turned from geologist to school chef to continue his love of cooking (Remember, Chef died in The Return of Chef - s10e01).
Culminating in the ultimate culinary battle royale - "Hells Kitchen Nightmares Iron Top Chef Cafeteria Throwdown Ultimate Cookoff Challenge" - and with appearances from Bobby Flay, Gordon Ramsey (Or, Eric Cartman), Jamie Oliver, and Paula Deen, the Shake Weight saves Randy and Sharon's marriage...
Special shout-out to the spoofs on the progressive and corona beer commercials.
Episode Rating:
