  My favorite episode. The scene of Butters explaining the beauty of sadness is my favorite scene of the entirety of South Park.

  In Germany, this episode is not called &quot;Raisins&quot; but &quot;Wir sind Gruftis&quot; (We are Goths), referencing the band &quot;Wir sind Helden&quot; (We are Heroes) as they actually got the band members to voice the Goths for this episode.<br>You can certainly tell that they aren&apos;t voiced by actual voice actors, but I think it kind of works that the goths talk so differently from everyone else. Not to mention how German Firkle has a deep ass voice that is just as funny as the child-voice in the original.

  Setting up that Jimmy has a stutter, and then having Stan choose a word that starts with Cont- for Jimmy to try and relay to Wendy is one of the all-time best ways to get away with repeatedly saying the C-word on television 😂

  The whole concept of raisins as a hooters for kids is just chefs kiss. Trey and Matts humor is unmatched.

  Dude, the fans who like the goth kids aren&apos;t missing the joke. We understand and love the joke. I for one had a goth/emo phase around that age, a little older, because I was actually being abused, and the goth kids of South Park make me nostalgic for the fun and self-expressive parts of that time in my life. Speaking of which, the way Matt and Trey understand the subtle differences between goth, emo, and scene subcultures that look the same from the outside was ALSO hilarious.

  As a goth that grew up with South Park, I loved the goth kids because they were a hilarious (and very valid) criticism of my subculture. It&apos;s important to be able to laugh at yourselves, which is a core component of goth culture IMO

  I can&apos;t emphasize enough how important this episode for me. It always puts things into perspective whenever I get my heart broken.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8FhFte01TI&amp;t=493">8:13</a> this somehow made this scene sadder. Its like he&apos;s all alone in a nightclub and everyone has a partner except Stan

  I&apos;m surprised you didn&apos;t mention Stan being the quarterback even in season 1. He was always the quarterback he idolized Elway more than anybody else<br><br><br>He had the towel around his waist because he was changing from his school clothes to his PE clothes then probably got depressed and laid down
