I didn't review last week's South Park because the Presidential Debate took its place, but we're right back into with "Insecurity." There was a lot that was great in this episode, using only a few jokes to move it along the entire time, but they were so funny that they held the episode up.
"Insecurity" gets started off after Ike sees his parents having sex with Gerald dressed up as the UPS man. Ike mistakes him for the real UPS man which starts a snowball effect, to which all of the men in South Park get involved. It breaks down to the guys needing to consult with an older man at the local bar, of which the scenes there were spot on. The older man starts comparing the UPS man to the milk man, and the only way to stop him was to go to drastic measures. The absolute best part of this entire bit was the simple pasteurized joke. It took me a second to get it but I couldn't stop laughing.
Cartman is in classic form as he demands his house be fitted with a top-of-the-line security system because he thinks his mother is going to be raped. The bit with him on the phone with the security company after an alarm is set off is spot on and one of the funnier running jokes in the episode. Having it upgraded to "In Security" led to a few laughs at the end, right before the joke had run its course.
The absolute best part of "Insecurity" was most definitely the Bane references. When I saw the Bane mask I was already cracking up, but after I heard them all talk I almost died. It wasn't just that the voice was dead on accurate, it was the things they were saying as well. The town trying to figure out what they were going to do with the Banes, which Mr. Mackey pointed out because "one Bane's bad enough, but we have like... like seven Banes," simply led further into the security system bit.
The episode, while only having a few dominant running jokes the whole time, was hilarious. At some points it felt like the jokes were about to get stale, but then they were changed enough or something new was added at just the right time to keep it from happening. This was one of the better episodes I've seen in a while.
Rating: 9/10
TL;DR "Insecurity" only had a few running jokes but they held their weight which led to a great episode.
