        A Hawaii little history lesson

        A Hawaii little history lesson . How the White and black take over and illegally occupied the islands of Asian /polynesian people ! Then 100 years later japan try to liberate them in the Attack on Pearl Harbor ! Finally it legally became part of the US in and join the union, on August 21, 1959.

        Very average

        Considering the previous two episodes of this season, this doesn't really stand up against them. There's few laugh out loud moments, maybe two or three, and I expected a lot more from this latest episode.

        I can't say that it's poor or uninteresting, but it's almost that way.

        If you're expecting the hilarity of the rest of this season, then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

        I hope Parker and Stone pick things up for the next episode, as I am a life long fan of this show and if someone was to view this episode without seeing other episodes they wouldn't get the real idea or premise of the show.

        I'm going to class this as a one off average episode.

        Not sure why there's so many bad reviews here

        This episode wasn't bad. Lately Kenny and Butters have only really been defined by their relationships with other boys and not had too much character development themselves, so it was nice to see an episode where Cartman was mainly absent and there was a focus on a simple, funny adventure between the two kindest boys in South Park.

        • Trivia
          According to the DVD commentary, the idea of Butters needing to go back to his homeland is based on the Star Trek (1966) episode Amok Time (1967), as well as the "going native" format films, the most recent being Avatar (2009).
