Story
The chef leaves South Park and joins the sect-like Super Travelers Club. When he returns, friends notice that something is wrong with him. It turns out that this club makes pedophiles out of people and convinces that sex with children gives eternal youth. Stan , Kyle , Cartman and Kenny engage in a fight with the club, during which Chef tragically dies after a lightning strike, falling from a bridge to hungry wild beasts. At his funeral, Kyle says they will always remember him. In the final, it turns out that the club leader “resurrected” the Chef, making him look like Darth Vader - Darth Chef.
References to other series
- The guys and the psychotherapist brought Chef to the same strip club, where a significant part of the series “ Little crime fighters ” and a dancer with a hysterical rude voice, walking around the club and shouting “Dancing? Who needs dancing? ”Previously appeared there.
- Isaac Hayes , who voiced the Chef, quit the series after being stuck in a closet , which ridiculed Scientology because he was a Scientologist, so Chef’s replicas were cut from previous episodes.
- When explaining the secret of the Super Club, the inscription “This is what Super Club members really believe in” appears. Approximately the same inscription appears in the series “Stuck in the closet”, due to which Isaac Haze left the series.
- When the Chef dies, he “puts a bunch” in his pants, which is a reference to the series “ Something about How Wall-Mart Came ”.
- After the death of Chef, Stan and Kyle utter their catchphrases, which they usually comment on the death of Kenny.
- At the end of the series, Darth Chef says, “Suck my chocolate eggs!” This is a reference to the Chef's Salty Chocolate Eggs series.
Parodies
- In the superclub there is a television brand "FONY". This is a clear reference to the TVs from " SONY "
