South Park Season 5 Episodes
Season 5 Episode Guide
13 Episodes 2001 - 2001
The fifth season of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's no-holds-barred satirical series "South Park" begins with a typically pointed tweak of television censorship with "It Hits the Fan," an episode that includes a counter tracking the number of time the "S" word is uttered during the episode's running time. From there the show tackles controversial topics like gays in the Boy Scouts in the episode "Cripple Fight," sexual education in school with "Proper Condom Use," and the duo aim their wicked humor at one of the most feared men in the world during the episode titled "Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants."
