South Park Scientology Episodes

These are the three South Park episodes that have a story line based around Scientology. These videos made headlines and I feel are extremely controversial. The most notable episode, "Trapped in the Closet", received an Emmy nomination. That same episode is the sole reason Scientologist Isaac Hayes (Chef) quit South Park. The videos are great viewing for anyone who has never seen them before and fun for those who haven't watched them in a while. Enjoy!

Trapped in the closet

About this episode:
"Trapped in the Closet", the twelfth episode of the ninth season of the Comedy Central series South Park, originally aired on November 16, 2005. The plot of the episode centers on the South Park character Stan Marsh, as he joins Scientology in an attempt to find something "fun and free". After the discovery of his surprisingly high "thetan levels", he is recognized as the reincarnation of the founder of the church, L. Ron Hubbard. Episode makes almost 100 references to Tom Cruise being "In the closet".

Chef returns to South Park

About this episode:
"The Return of Chef", or referred to as "Life Without Chef Part 2", is episode 140 of Comedy Central's animated series South Park and aired on March 22, 2006. It was advertised as the tenth season premiere. It was also #1 on the "10 South Parks That Changed The World" list.

The episode parodies so-called "very special episodes", heavily satirizes Scientology, and is notable for its timing after the sudden departure of Isaac Hayes, who had voiced Chef on the series since its inception. His leaving South Park was because of the highly controversial Scientology episode, "Trapped in the Closet".

The Church of Blainetology

About this episode:
A street magician named David Blaine comes to South Park. The boys are tricked into becoming "Blaintologists". Stan is creeped out and soon leaves; Kyle refuses to join him. Stan looks for help from South Park's own resident messiah, Jesus. The comparisons to Scientology are really interesting. It shows everything from disconnection to brainwashing.


From the creators of South Park:
"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Signed: "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."

Why are Scientology members so dumb?

Only in Scientology can you get away with being so dumb

Could this be from a result or combination of a steady diet consisting of L Ron Hubbard, Dianetics books, overdosing on Niacin and hating Psychiatrists?

Case in point: I've been finding more and more of these idiotic type postings by Scientologists on the net. Enjoy signature 2217 on http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/boycottmi3, Amanda.

"I'm a Scientologist and I'll tell you that this crazy story about Xenu is total crap. Some people in the press keep saying that this Xenu story is what Scientologists believe. This is such garbage and it's a story repeated over and over and is intended to keep people from looking into what Scientology actually is. So why would some in the media intentionally try and keep people away from Scientology you ask? Because most media is well paid by the pharmaceutical industry. They see Scientology as a threat to their profits because it is. Scientology has many, many answers that work and are practical. Let's look at 1 example of how the psychiatric drugging industry is hurt by Scientology technology... Let's assume you know someone who has been depressed for several months or even years. Did you know that with Scientology you can literally snap him out of his dark days and make him feel happy again, sometimes in less than five minutes. How could this be? Because Scientology helps and works like nothing else before it. There is no need to be on a psychiatric drug everyday for the rest of your life. This is just one of thousands of solutions Scientology has and it would take literally books to tell you all it has to offer and can do. Give a Scientologist just a few minutes of your time and you'll quickly realize what a sham psychiatry and the psychiatric drugging business is. It's OK to be skeptical about Scientology, but don't assume that what you've been told about it is actually true. Just ask yourself would all these celebrities be involved in it if didn't help them and others tremendously?WWW.WHATISSCIENTOLOGY.ORG"

This posting is fun reading and full of holes. The one thing I've never been able to understand is the whole stance by Scientologists, including such stars as Isaac Hayes, who like saying dumb things like "Xenu is made up by the media or people who don't want you to learn about Scientology". How hard is it to understand that Xenu is taught in OT3 and if you're not yet OT3 you have not learned this information yet?

Scientologists......... WAKE UP!!!
