Far from the snooze-fest of earlier T&P centric episodes, there's actually a sense of humour and purpose here
SLionsCricketreviews20 January 2018
I expected truly terrible results from "Eat, Pray, Queef" given terrible earlier experiences with the show's Terrence and Phillip centric episodes, namely the second season premiere and the episode from the fifth season. They simply are not interesting characters in the least and the only joke that comes from their constant fart humour is the fact that the boys love it so much and watch it as if it were a prestigious piece of television.

Thankfully, "Eat, Pray, Queef" has an actual purpose. It's best stuff is everything that takes place within the town of South Park and the ironic humour that comes from just how grossed out and offended the boys get over the girls finding some mild sense of joy and humour from queefing is hilarious. The Marsh dinner table scene with Sharon queefing a number of times is a great example of what works about this episode. Not only is it funny seeing Randy and Stan so offended by her actions but to see one of the show's more grounded characters acting in a slightly immature fashion is fantastic. It really drives the message that the episode ultimately arrives at which is how easily men (I happen to be of the male gender myself) can get offended by humour where they are put into the place of being the butt of the joke.

Unfortunately, there's a part of this episode that doesn't work as well and that's the entire Terence and Phillip angle for me. I never enjoy these characters on-screen, and for the most part that's part of the point (we're supposed to see how stupid they are and how stupid South Park in its purest form of 'toilet humour' can be) but in episodes that revolve more strongly around them, I usually lose interest.

There's still a few moments that are great in this part of the story, namely the fight that erupts between Terence and Phillip AND Katherine and Kate while/after having sex. There's a funny moment where you realize that the place they're staying at has two beds in the same room and that both couples have been having sex practically next to each other!

For the most part though, Terence and Phillip bore me and while there's a nice message in this episode, this part of the episode is bogged down a bit. Otherwise, "Eat, Pray, Queef" surprised me and I certainly don't see it being anywhere near as bad as some of South Park's other attempts. There's a strong and relevant modernist feminism statement that is cleverly realized.

Farting vs Queefing
gangstahippie4 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
"Eat Pray Queef" is the newest South Park episode.The episode originally landed on an April fools day and this worried some.The last time this happened(April Fools Of 1998), Trey Parker and Matt Stone were supposed to show the conclusion to the episode "Cartman's Mom Is A Dirty Slut", where we finally find out who Cartman's father was.However, being April 1st, they decided to play a totally unrelated Terrence and Philip episode entitled "Not Without My Anus"(I actually liked that episode more than the conclusion to "Cartman's mom").Anyway, in this episode the boys are excited to see the conclusion to a two part Terrence and Philip, however being April 1st, we instead get an episode of a new show entitled "The Queef Sisters".Trey and Matt cleverly spoofed that once incident they had back in 1998.The rest of the episode is basically boys vs girls and why farting is more acceptable than queefing(when girls expel air out their vaginas).Meanwhile, Terrence and Philip are angry that their show was replaced and they set out to kill the queef sisters, before finding out that the sisters idolize them.They then become boyfriends/girlfriends.There are some very funny moments in this episode and it was pretty good.This episode also cleverly mixed fart jokes & toilet humor with some moral messages just like in the earlier episodes.Season 13 is still going strong!

Men Hate Funny Women
IKilledJennySchecter5 December 2009
I recently bought all the South Park episodes and this one stood out enough for me to want to look up what others thought of it. I was surprised to find most of the ratings for this episode to be on the low side. I laughed pretty hard with this one, and thought it would be considered one of the series best. After reading the comments, I understood what the users who commented were actually admitting (whether or not they meant to) what I've known for a while now: Men cannot stand when a woman is funny. From Romy and Michele to Sarah Silverman to the grossly underused female factor in most Hollywood Comedic Blockbusters (any comedy starring male SNL alum, Wedding Crashers, The Hangover, anything from Apatow).

Was this episode consistently funny? No. But, then again, there have only been a handful of South Parks that I found to be (the J Lo. episode being my favorite). This episode is far from boring no more preachy than others. Plus, the sisters cracked my s**t up.

This basically predates the MCU becoming em she u just as the MCU was kicking off in 2009.

How about that?

Then SP made a panderverse episode about it...

Has south park ever been any different from the current MCU?

Not really.

January 2024th 1st.

What was this episode of Southern Park about?:

It was a debate between the males and females about blowing gas. Yup. Then we take a walk into Canaduh where Terrance and Phillip have a thaang for two broads.

The Story and the production overview:

Not Southern Parks best but it was a decent gross story that predates the pandering that was to come 10 years from this episode premiered.

It was almost exact where weeman are being trolled by triggered men.

Overall: a decent ep to past the time. I did like the song at the end but it was kind of gross.

Highlight:

Butters freaking out

Moral:

Equal rights

Pun rating:

Ep didn't blow hash to say the least.

Final words:

Stiller.

The reviews prove their point
pastavangelist3 January 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The boys in South Park think they have a monopoly on grossing out the girls. The girls realize that they can do something that the boys can't top. The boys get uber butthurt. And so do all the fans who can't take a joke when the tables are turned.

This is the funniest episode I have seen in years because it focused on the idea that many men can't take a joke if the joke is on them. They can laugh at women's expense all day and say "you just don't have a sense of humor" when women don't laugh, but turn it around and every guy is whining with a 1 star review. Like rape jokes are awesome, but queefing is crossing the line?

This wasn't some bra-burning, men belong-in-the-kitchen, radical feminism. It was modern, moderate feminism. It was just girls wanting to play along...to make jokes instead of always being the butt of the joke. It was girls wanting to act gross and crude just like the boys, without being held to an absurd double standard.

By the way, I don't know how many people understand basic anatomy and biology, but queefs are not more gross than farts. Farts are foul-smelling methane produced by bacteria in the intestines that eat your poo. Queefs are the same as an armpit fart. It doesn't smell, and it doesn't "come from the uterus" as one commenter put it. It is just a bubble of air that goes in, and then gets immediately pushed back out. Sort of like when you fake-burp the ABC's.

Unless you are a gay man or a virgin then you should know all this already. The only reason women get embarrassed by queefs is because they sound like farts, and farts stink.

"This isn't about queefing, says Shannon. "This has been about women having a little bit of fun at your expense. For just this one time, we could be the immature ones to make you feel uncomfortable. But no, you just couldn't let us have that one little thing, could you? Because even though things are getting better for women, you still think of us as lesser people sometimes, and we always have to prove ourselves twice as hard. Congratulations, guys, for getting your way. Again." Learn to take a joke.

It's about farts and queefs......
Reckno6423 November 2019
They made a pretty good point in this episode about hypocrisy and "selective outrage". So I give it credit where it's due.

On the other hand, the subject of the episode is literally farting and queefing. I'm a guy who rarely finds entertainment in either, so I didn't really care for this episode. But even a weaker South Park episode does have something to say so I recommend giving it a go to see what you think.

Funny episode
whitseandr15 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I found this episode may not be South Park at its intellectual best but still a really funny episode, one of the funnier episodes of recent seasons where jokes carried the episode rather than a strong message/story line.

Some of the scenes, Road Warrior, Martha Stewart and those with Randy in were gold and I laughed out loud on many occasions where in other recent episodes I would chuckle but appreciate the wit.

In summary what is wrong with a bit of toilet/physical humour? If it makes you laugh, awesome; and if you get a positive message out of it; even better.

Unexpectedly Bad
bluerose159213 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
The 13th season of South Park hasn't really impressed me thus far, but at the same time I wasn't disappointed with them either. However this episode was one of the worst episodes I have ever seen. I honestly hope this is not a sign of things to come.

South Park normally has some sort of hidden or subtle message within each episode. Sometimes the subject matter of the episode is weak but the message is strong or vice versa. In this case, both the subject matter and the message were weak.

This is another Terrance and Phillip centered episode, which is normally a turn off for me. But I gave it the benefit of the doubt. It then introduces a new set of characters in the Queef sisters who pretty much are exactly the same as Terrance and Phillip except they queef instead of fart and are females.

So naturally, the message of the episode is men are stupid and women are smart. Well, not exactly. The message is women should be treated equally to men even in regards to being disgusting.

OK? I didn't expect that from Matt and Trey at all. Men aren't slobbish morons as depicted in this episode. The stereotype that all we laugh are are fart jokes and we're immature is ridiculous. I don't think women are inferior to men in any way. But we are different. That is fact, and to think otherwise is ignorant. Moreover, I seriously doubt women would want to be a part of the immature, fart-joke loving jackasses in this episode. So I don't really understand the argument being made.

And then the last part of the episode involves Sharon making some ridiculous heart-felt speech about men always getting what they want when queefing was officially banned in South Park. I didn't know if I was supposed to take that seriously or if it was just a joke. But it just made me cringe at the sheer stupidity of what she was arguing about.

So then all the men decide to go off on a musical number at the end of the episode realizing that they're morons and women were right and blah blah blah.

As was said by several people, it is essentially a feminist episode. I don't understand the reasoning behind it. I don't understand the arguments made and I see very little humor (the beginning of the episode that was centered around the boys was still funny) in it at all. Terrance and Phillip is satirical and it should never have a full episode centered around it because they have no material except the same fart jokes. It's funny in it's little occasional spurt in episodes but a full 30-minute episode centered around them? No.

Regardless of the quality of the subject matter, the episode provides very little humor if any. This is now the episode to avoid. Quite honestly one of the worst episodes of South Park I have ever seen and I certainly hope to see an upgrade in quality come next week.

Not as fantastic as the previous three episodes but
RainDogJr2 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Eat, Pray, Queef is not at all an episode you should avoid like the plague, not that a really awful South Park episode exist but Eat, Pray, Queef is not getting good reviews but if you ask me it is good worth watching stuff. When this episode was announced the little description was the following: "Someone played an April Fools joke on the boys and it didn't go over well. Butters is incapacitated, Cartman is furious and the rest of the boys are afraid someone might do it again". For me with this description it just seemed that after seeing it I was going to write here that the fourth episode of Season 13 was so far the funniest one, in that way I'm a little disappointed since now after seeing it I really can't write what I thought I was going to.

Anyway, I started watching South Park I think in 1999 but certainly all of us South Park fans know the joke that Trey, Matt and company played to the audience 11 years ago when all the fans were waiting the premiere episode of Season 2 to find finally who was Cartman's father and you know what was the reaction of the fans. I think it was a brilliant thing from Trey and Matt, totally memorable and recently when we were about to have answers to the questions Will the cartoon be allowed to appear uncensored? Will Family Guy be destroyed? Will Television executives fight for free speech? Or will Comedy Central Puss Out? We received a new Terrance & Phillip special! Certainly that was a fantastic reference to Not Without My Anus in the, brilliant, episode Cartoon Wars: Part 2 and in Eat, Pray, Queef all the boys are waiting for the conclusion of a Terrance & Phillip episode, certainly the boys want to see the show that exactly 11 years before p*ssed off many South Park fans but here the boys will be just like those South Park fans were on April 1, 1998, they will like "wtf just happened?", certainly no Terrance & Philip on April 1.

I just mentioned two other South Park episodes and I'm going to mention one more: With Apologies to Jess Jackson. I recall that must-see episode from Season 11 while seeing this one since in With Apologies we have that if a word like the N-word existed for white people well that word would be banned. Here is a similar case, now is men "vs." women since and after seeing how much that annoy men women enjoy queefing and at one point queefing will be banned (check Hilary Clinton during the song part!). This episode is not quite a very clever episode like With Apologies but still is quite funny each time is Terrance & Philip vs. the Queef Sisters (the Queef Sisters is the show that has replaced Terrance & Phillip and ironically Terrance and Phillip were the ones who inspired the two queef sisters to make quite a similar show that now has made that Terrance and Phillip were fired), "farts are funny, queefs are not" yet Terrance and Phillip will love the queef sisters but queefs are still not funny! Good show yet I'm a little disappointed; see you next week!

Amazingly poor...
randomorwhat3 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Surely critics have managed to convey the point to Trey Parker and Matt Stone by now? Terrence and Phillip are just basically not very funny. In small clips, sure, they can have their comedic moments, but stretched over an entire episode, they are stale, boring, and flat out immature. And then they somehow came up with the fantastic idea of adding in another two irritating identical characters (oh no, wait, they're women), creating an episode with little to no storyline (queefing against farting...not the most mature way in which to discuss feminism and masculinity) and an episode with very few laughs. In fact, I can scarcely remember any which made me do any more than chuckle slightly, and that was more out of respect for some of the previous episodes. Randy, usually such an intelligent central figure, was annoyingly one-dimensional, which is a damming reflection on the 'protagonists'.

Trey and Matt seemed to be trying, for the typical 'April Fools' episode, to recapture some of the immature humour of the previous seasons. However, they fell horribly in attempting to introduce issues, then skirting around them without addressing them. The only thing that kept previous episodes from becoming mundanely immature and pointless was an intelligent and compelling story. Or great humour addressing interesting sets of moral values.

This had neither. No substance, no humour, no storyline. This was little more than a horrible return to reality that, perhaps, all television shows can eventually go under. I'm just praying that this is the lowest point the season can sink to, and am keeping my fingers crossed that the wit and sparkle hasn't left South Park. In my opinion, 2 good episodes this season, 2 bad. What will the next be?

It's odd to say this...
tcqktbarn28 August 2022
This episode is underrated. It is awkward. It is CANADIAN humour. I can't help but think of The Kids In The Hall when watching this episode. Have you ever been so interested in the topic of the episode? This episode was so episodic. I want to spoil the episode but I won't. You just need to know that vaginal farts are a thing, but you can forgive that because everyone farts all the time ok buddeh?

There's a few parts where this episode drags. Sometimes the fart jokes seem lame. And we all hate lame things.

It's great to see that Terrance and Philip still have their game on.

At the forefront of this episode, we have seen everything. Except for female related vaginal farts.

Oh, dear...
MustafaPen4 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
"Eat, Pray, Queef" remains mired in criticism and controversy, and quite frankly, for good reason. Speaking as a woman, "Eat, Pray, Queef's" theme of feminism is, quite simply, wrongheaded, fallacious, and frankly, stupid. I've queefed several times in public, and not once did I find them, in any fashion, humorous. On the other hand, I love farting. The fact that anyone can flavor them with spicy and strong food, especially radishes, by default, defeats queefing. Have any of you seen Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle? Remember the scene with the girls dumping? That is comedic gold; "Eat, Pray, Queef" presents humorless, feminist drivel, demonstrating that the feminist movement lost and now resorts to falling down, flapping their limbs and screaming like spoiled children.

The story begins with the typical adolescent boys acting like adolescent boys, farting on young girls and partaking in immature toilet humor; hey, boys will be boys, so it's all good. When the young boys finally come home to discover that their beloved Terrance and Phillip Show has been cancelled and replaced with the infinitely more politically correct and marketable Queef Sisters, the story's plot quickly degenerates from that point onward.

We learn that women enjoy queefs as a symbol of femininity, and men, being the vile, patriarchal antagonists that they are, are struck nauseous by the expulsion of trapped vaginal oxygen. Of course, in classic feminist point-of-view, men hypocritically protest against those dreaded queefs and stir moral panic. Crashing into headlong rants about women's liberation and girl power, South Park loses the audience further with its moral.

As far as humor is concerned, the part with Martha Stewart complimented the episode well; indeed, I'll admit I guffawed loudly. However, not much else did the trick.

The episode's conclusion finally severs its tie to the audience with queefing effectively banned (earth to South Park: how can you ban a natural phenomenon?). Naturally, Sharon becomes heartbroken that the "only one immature joke" at men's expense is swept from her. Unfortunately, little does Sharon realize her own capabilities for malice. Remember back in "Clubhouses," where she takes her frustration out on Stan simply because he's a boy? Or Shelly's routine abuse towards her younger brother, to which both she and that idiot husband of her's remain blind to?

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, if you aren't aware, women have cracked jokes at men's expense for decades. It's quite fine that women have The Vagina Monologues, which drives a message of homosexism and lesbian supremacy to its audience under the pretense of women's rights. God forbid men protest with their Penis Monologues or Father's Rights coalitions. God forbid women are circumcised in Africa while men lose 30% of their sexual stimulation with theirs. While millions upon millions of dollars go to charities for breast cancer research, prostate cancer, which effects 1-in-3 men, hardly receives any funding. Western women already have rights and equal treatment under the law; we don't want more.

If you want to explore the dynamics of gender, one must realize that both respective genders are entirely different from one another, and thusly aren't equal. Neither one is superior to the other, but neither is entirely equal, and to argue the latter would have little success. If you can't accept that men and women are entirely different, then you might as well deny reality.

F*** neo feminism. This episode nails it
idaafk22 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
South Park has nailed it once again. Women start queefing as much as men allegedly fart - claiming it's funny just like a fart joke. That it is sexist to say it's not funny when farts are. 🤣

South Park run by feminists...
rbxfromdashow1 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
...a sign of the apocalypse. While I'm only partially exaggerating, Eat, Queef, and Pray, with its nauseating feminist theme combined with only ONE gold moment of comedy, easily outranks Britney's New Look as the WORST SOUTH PARK EPISODE EVER! If you thought Terrance and Phillip were unfunny, wait until you meet the Queef Sisters, two vehicles to drive home feminist drivel that would make Andrea Dworkin blush. At the end, we learn that men are insensitive pricks unable to see the hypocrisy of toilet humor while women are just trying to have "one immature joke at men's expense," proving that women are just innocent little damsels and men are the beer-swilling, moronic patriarchal devil. With their humor ultimately subverted by humorless radfem undertones, Stone and Parker ultimately drop the ball.

To Matt Stone and Trey Parker: Unless you've been living under a rock, WOMEN DO NOT SUFFER MORE; THEY CRY LOUDER!

A one joke episode... and that joke wasn't that funny
Tweekums23 November 2012
Warning: Spoilers
As the episode opens all the boys in South Park Elementary are dying to get home so they can watch the second episode of a two-part 'Terrence and Phillip' while the girls fail to see the appeal of the two flatulent Canadians. When they get settled down to watch they are first shocked and then disgusted... 'Terrence and Phillip' aren't on; they have been replaced by 'The Queef Sisters'; Katherine and Katy, two women who do exactly what Terrence and Phillip do except they are expelling air from their vaginas. They are universally disgusted that such filth is allowed on television but when the girls here about it they don't see what the fuss is about. In fact they start doing it themselves which causes the men of the town to rise up in protest. Meanwhile in Canada Terrence and Phillip find themselves out of a job as they have been replaced by Katherine and Katy. The two of them pay the girls a visit with the intention of killing them but upon learning that they are the girls' heroes they end up going out together.

This was one of the weakest episodes of 'South Park' that I've seen for a while. 'The Terrence and Phillip Show' was never particularly funny so it is hardly surprising that its female counterpart is equally unfunny... had it been a brief aside it would have been okay but it turned out to be the basis of the whole episode; I guess if you find people breaking wind hilarious then you might like it. The tagged on 'feminist finale' just felt like an excuse to justify the weaker than usual material. If you like gross out humour you might enjoy this but if you don't give it a miss.

This is the episode were I lost all hope for a rejuvenation of South Park
Graggoz4 March 2016
After bingewatching entire South Park I noticed how great the series were in the beginning but then took a slow turn to the worse over season 11 and then 12. However S13E04 marks the very episode were the recovery of the series seem to be impossible (and episodes beyond this with some few exceptions showed this was the case).

Does this episode have any humour? Not really.

Can anyone relate to the messages? I don't know anyone who can. What was this supposed to be about.

Was the episode shocking and provoking? No, it's just plain childish and stupid.

The only positive thing about the episode was that it did not include as much of Trey Parker's personal opinions that he think he is entitled to force upon the viewers (often in a very immature way after season 11).

But still, this one cannot be rated anything but a 1 rating.

Maybe it's not one of the worst episodes of the show, but still a pretty bad one. Some funny scenes here and here, but after all, just a one-joke episode.

I like it, and let me tell you why
askeland898 June 2022
As if "Not without my anus" wasn't bad enough, this time they took it a step further by introducing the female version of Terrance & Phillip aka The Queef Sisters. A completely pointless addition that no one asked for.

No this episode is not good, in fact it's terrible. As is with most Terrance & Phillip specials. They're annoying, unfunny and straight up stupid. But knowing that this is completely intentional from the creators and they only make these episodes with the sole purpose of pissing off their viewers I don't mind them. I actually find it hilarious that Matt & Trey gets away with it time after time. I remember this episode specifically from when it aired. I was waiting a whole week for a new episode and this is what I got.. I was not happy to say the least. But in hindsight I see it as a stroke of genius.
