Episode 'South Park' Season 15, Episode 3: 'Royal Pudding' Recap

South Park is seriously out of control. In a good way, of course.

Last night's episode saw the Canadian Royal Princess kidnapped during the Canadian Royal Wedding, a tragedy that apparently has no equal as far as the Canadians are concerned. That leads Ike to join the Canadian military (who is armed mostly with hockey sticks, natch) to get her back.

That's a problem for Mr. Mackie, who had Ike starring as Tooth Decay in a play about dental hygeine. Kyle ends up having to fill in for his little brother, but when Mr. Mackie stars tearing all of the cast members a new one, the real reason for the play is discovered: tooth decay killed Mr. Mackie's father.

Sure, we all had a good laugh about that, didn't we? What we didn't know is that Tooth Decay is actually a gigantic, Doomsday-looking monster that lives in the Yukon and steals princesses. Yeah. That's where this episode ends up. No, I don't know how we got there either. Inuits were involved.

One of my favorite things about South Park, though, is the floppy-head animation for the Canadians. That, combined with the South Park Canadian accent, is comedy gold. This episode could have been about anything, but as long as I get to sit there for a half-hour and watch the Canadians, everything is hilarious.

One thing though: "Like a flower breaking wind?" I know the whole Princess Di thing was a long time ago, but still. Too soon.

What They're Trying to Tell Us:

The Royal Wedding is silly, tooth decay is seriously evil, and rocks crushing people is not tradition.
