Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe crew of the USS Bainbridge, the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer which participated in the rescue of Richard Phillips from the hijacked MV Maersk Alabama, contacted the creators of South Park to commend them on the episode. Ensign Jonathan Sieg, the Bainbridge public relations officer, wrote: "Pretty much everyone onboard our ship -- from Captain to seaman -- is a huge fan of South Park, and when we heard about the episode Fatbeard, as you can imagine, we were thrilled and very interested to watch." Sieg requested copies of the episode because the streaming online video was difficult to watch on the ship, and the South Park staff in return sent them a care package including several copies of the episode. On the official South Park Studios FAQ, they wrote back, "No, sir, thank you. We were honored to read that, and making an episode about you kicking pirate booty was our pleasure."

Featured review
I'm going to have to disagree with the masses here.
For some reason, this episode was widely well thought of. It has almost entirely good reviews. Why is this? The plot was simple and dumb, and the ending, though obviously fitting to real life activities, was abrupt and not very funny. In fact, throughout the episode, boredom struck me, and by the end, I was definitely ready to watch something else.
Cartman gets some boys together to go to Somolia to become pirates. They learn it isn't all it cracked up to be, and Cartman has no idea what he's doing. The episode's plot is way too short, so it's drawn out by Clyde going into random unfunny tantrums, and by the end, we have a predictable and overall not very good episode.
An idea that was often missing from episodes in the last few seasons was the innocence of childhood. Stan and Kyle usually are the most mature people in South Park nowadays. One positive of this episode, is it brings back an innocent side to the show, but at the same time it was just really dumb. Right when the episode starts, you could predict what will happen and probably be close to right. Cartman mistaking things for what they aren't cannot hold up an entire episode.
This mid-season finale was a disappointment, but it wasn't horrible. It was boring oftentimes, but occasionally had a laugh or two.
My rating: ** out of ****. 30 mins. TVMA
