The bad boys of late-night toondom meet Pamela Anderson’s animated alter ego today with the home video release of South Park–The Complete Fifth Season and the uncensored first season of Stan Lee’s Stripperella.
South Park–The Complete Fifth Season is packaged as a three-disc set that includes 14 installments of the irreverent, satirical look at life in a dysfunctional small town in Colorado. Episodes include the Emmy-nominated "Osama Bin Laden Has Farty Pants," "It Hits the Fan," "Cripple Fight," "Super Best Friends," "Proper Condom Use," "Scott Tenorman Must Die," "Cartmanland" "Towlie," "How to Eat with Your Butt," "The Entity," "Here Comes the Neighborhood," "Kenny Dies," "Butters’ Very Own Episode" and "Terrance and Phillip: Behind the Blow." Also included are mini commentaries by creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The Paramount Home video release lists for $49.99.
Stripperella–Season One Uncensored contains 13 episodes of the Spike TV series on two discs. Created by comic book legend Stan Lee, the adult-aimed series stars former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson as the voice of Erotica Jones, a stripper by night and a superhero later at night. Armed with her feminine wiles and a few other tricks, the blonde bombshell takes on such villains as evil plastic surgeon Dr. Cesarean, the excessively frugal Cheapo and Pushy Galore, a former genetic physicist who breeds animals with designer logos on their skin. Also from Paramount Home Video, the DVD set lists for $26.99.
Stripperella lasted two seasons on Spike before disappearing with the cable network’s much hyped, but ultimately unsuccessful, animation block, The Strip, which included Gary The Rat with Kelsey Grammer and John Kricfalusi’s Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon. Spike will take another jab at animation with Howard Stern: The High School Years, a half-hour comedy being developed by the controversial radio talk show host.
