    Good

    Chickenpox is a fairly funny and good South Park episode.It starts with Stan's sister getting chickenpox.Stan's mother finds out that its dangerous to get chickenpox when you are older, so she has a meeting with all the moms so the boys could stay at Kenny's house and get chickenpox.The boys get it and start itching...except for Kyle.Kyle's mom tries to get him to get chickenpox but he simply cannot.Meanwhile, we find out that Kyle and Kenny's fathers were best friends back as teenagers.But they are not because Kyle's dad got rich while Kenny was still poor.They both go on a fishing trip and get into a fight.The boys eventually find out their parents got them chickenpox and they pay a hooker to give their parents herpies as revenge.Chickenpox is a pretty funny and good South Park episode.

    Just Okay Guys

    It's just okay, guys. Just okay. Okay, it's just. The end is great and saves an otherwise meh episode. When I say meh for these early seasons they aren't bad episodes, but knowing the caliber of comedy Trey and Matt get into in the middle and later seasons it's hard to compare them equally. They're just different types of humor. 7.4.
