    You'll love having aides you really will...

    Probably the silliest episode of South Park ever but it is still one of the most brilliant. Jared Fogle comes to town the promote his new diet and announces that it was aides not Subway sandwiches which caused him to loose weight. The world believes he means AIDS and naturally when he announces he wants to give aides to starving kids he is chased by a mob. This is probably the simplest episode of South Park ever yet I consider it to be one of the best. The episode basically has one joke but it works to the point of perfection. I've seen the episode countless times but I still get tears from laughing so hard. Season 6 was a great year for South Park especially the Butters episodes. The audience discovered that they didn't miss Kenny at all in fact were glad he's gone.

    Hilarious Season 6 Premiere

    Jared Has Aides is one of my favorite south park episodes! It's one of the funnier episodes.Kenny died last season so now Butters is the new replacement for Kenny.Jared from the subway commercials comes to south park and the boys talk to him.Jared tells them that he only really ate a little bit of Subway and with the help of excercise and his "aides"(his help) he lost all hi weight.The boys ask him to tell everybody that.When he does however, everybody starts hating him.This is because they think he means the sexually-transmitted disease aids.It's very funny how the people hear that word and misinterpret it.Meanwhile, the boys decide to make money by fattening up Butters and helping him lose weight.There is a fairly sickening scene in this episode where the boys give Butters lypo-suction surgery and another hilarious part where Cartman pretends to be Butters on the phone and insults his mom and dad! Jared Has Aides is hilarious and is one of the better South Park episodes!

    They just repeat the same joke over and over

    This whole episode revolves around Jared having help of a couple "aides" but every time he mentions them people think he he AIDS and they freak out.

    This is basically the whole episode. Throughout the episode they literally repeat the same joke 100-150 times. Again and again, again and again, again and again. It stops being funny after about 5 minutes.

    This is something South Park is often guilty of. They find one joke that works and repeat that joke to death until it stops being funny and then some more. In this episode they overused the same joke by about 100 too many times after it stopped being funny.

    It turns out it's not a good idea to build an entire episode around one joke and repeat the same joke again and again all episode long.

    I think this episode aged VERY well

    Since the Jared controversy of 2015, this episode is 10 times more funny. Personally the Butters torture got a bit overly undeserved in my opinion but I still thought it was a pretty solid episode.

    Now we wait just 4 more years for 9/11 to become funny since this episode aired March 6, 2002 which was just 6 months after 9/11 and as of the day I'm writing this review it has been 17.7 years since this episode aired so in total 18.3 years have passed since 9/11, and you have to wait 22.3 years to be able to make fun of a tragedy so just 4 years left till you can make fun of 9/11!

    Ok why did I do all that math........

    Strong episode thats a must watch. Very memorable and tons of moments to laugh hard at

    This episode plot rolls at a good pace with its comedy aside. It's early mature South Park humor as I call it lol. The play on words and just hard laugh at moments and while shedding light on a serious subject, while not taking itself overly serious is a master peice of South Park blending.
