Such an underrated episode, if you get the annoyance of a lack of main characters out of your head then you can enjoy the comedy in this episode, all the introduced characters are funny with classic South Park humour. I hate how hated this episode is.
The first 10 minutes were definitely a head scratcher, the main characters are entirely absent, but the episode really grew on me. Malcolm McDowell is hilarious, and the "alternate" ending to the Charles Dickens masterpiece is hilarious.
I got the feeling that Trey and Matt were having a lot of fun with the episode, so I did as well. It's definitely not for everyone though.

This episode does not deserve some of the hate that it is receiving. I personally find this episode to be extremely underrated and funny. I think a lot of people dislike this episode because it breaks away from the main 4 boys, but I loved seeing Pip star in his own episode, which he definitely deserved. This episode still made me laugh when I rewatched it a couple days ago. I will admit, the story gets a little weird at the end, but that's what's expected. It's a South Park episode after all. This episode was one of Pip's last major roles in the series, which was sad, but I'm glad he at least got a solo episode. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this episode to anyone who has yet to watch it.
Matt & Trey stated that this is their least favorite episode and they regret making it. Personally I think it's slightly underrated, no it's not a masterpiece but it does have it's moments. I'm quite familiar with the story it's based on and I have actually read the book. Which may be the reason why I appreciate this episode more than regular viewers.
No it's not an accurate representation of the book.. Robot monkeys and 17 year old American guys with cars in 19th century England, I mean c'mon lol. It's not supposed to be accurate, it's a parody and a fine one at that. Far from the best South Park has to offer but not as bad as they say.

Pip is a strange South Park episode.Most South Park fans will not like it(unless maybe you are both a fan of South Park and Charles Dickens).None of the main characters appear in this episode, it's solely an episode revolving around Pip.Pip is the British kid who usually is bullied by the boys(especially in Season 1).This is his own episode.The episode features Malcom McDowell(of Clockwork Orange fame) telling the story of Pip, which is basically a spoof of the Charles Dickens novel "Great Expectations" which I have not read.Pip is a poor blacksmith who falls in love with a girl, but the girl's mother wants her to break his heart so his tears can be used in a machine which will make the mother look younger.The episode is cut into three acts and involves robot monkey's as well.There are some funny parts in the episode, but it is one of the most unfunny episodes of the show.It is also sometimes hard to understand the characters.Pip is one of the worst South Park episodes but it is still decent.There are no really bad episodes of South Park in my opinion.
