When Stan discovers a group of talking animals building a Christmas tree, they convince him to help prepare for the holidays, including tasks such as making a star for their Christmas tree, and building a manger. Soon after, the animals enlist his help again. They explain that every year one of the animals conceives their Savior, but a mountain lion kills it before she gives birth to the baby. After insisting that Stan is the only one capable of helping them, he manages to kill the beast, but is dismayed to find that the lion was the mother of three now-orphaned cubs. Returning to the critters, Stan is further horrified to discover that the woodland critters are, in fact, Satan worshipers, and that their Savior is actually the Antichrist, not an animalistic Son of God.
What a heart-warming Yuletide tale! Obviously not a show for the weak-hearted, South Park’s “Woodland Critter Christmas” alternates between being absolutely appalling and sickeningly hilarious. This episode is a loose parody of John Denver’s Critter Christmas, and in true South Park style, the shocks keep coming and coming, but so do the laughs. The slight twist towards the end will also give you the darkest glimpse into Eric Cartman’s mind since the episode Scott Tenorman Must Die.
This is a Christmas show for those who revile cutesy claymation stories and happy endings. If you have a morbid sense of humor and would like to see Santa Claus pull out a SPAS-12 combat shotgun to try to save Christmas, then this is the show for you.
