This must be easily one of the worst episodes. The plot goes nowhere and nothing happens. Luke a lukewarm bowl of water with some lumps in it and those lumps don't taste like anything either.
It felt like this episode lasted for 45 minutes - and not in a good way.

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.

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.
I see a lot of hate for this one and to be honest, I don't know why. Sure, Pip is a completely stupid and random character to make an episode on, but at the same time, it had enough laughs to where I enjoyed it somewhat. It has an extremely boring start but it eventually picks up in the climax and has some pretty corny or just not funny moments. The characters in this one(with the exception of Pip) are very random and definitely were meant to be based off characters from "Great Expectations". While there is 300+ episodes in this show, "Pip" is certainly not the worst but also fails to maintain the South Park quality we like to see.
This episode focuses entirely on Pip and features none of the other main characters. I could have sworn that was Anthony Hopkins talking but it was actually Malcolm McDowell. I admit to knowing nothing about the book "Great Expectations". I can assume this at least somewhat resembles it. There were definitely some good jokes there like the baby bunnies. The episode itself was at least creative.
The weirdest thing was how they just mostly got rid of Pip after this as he had speaking lines in only two subsequent episodes. Why did Trey Parker and Matt Stone go through all this trouble with a character they were going to get rid of anyway? They realized Butters worked better as a character everyone picked on. I mean, this really just has no reason to exist at all. It's probably the worst episode in the entire series. I think it's even worse than the Terrance and Phillip one. **
