DVD Review: Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil

Lewis Black's Root of All Evil DVD Box ArtMovie Info:
Cast: Lewis Black, Andrew Daly, Patton Oswald, Paul Tompkins, Andy Kindler, Greg Giraldo, Kathleen Madigan
Rating: Not Rated
Studio: Comedy Central

Release Info:
DVD Release Date: September 30, 2008
Online Availability: Amazon for $19.99

The idea behind Root of all Evil is simple. Two comics face off in a hilarious style of debate with two topics that are either incredibly random or incredibly unimportant. It doesn’t seem to matter if they are important or not because they are completely hilarious. There is just something funny about having two comedians face off in a debate about Kim Jong II and Tila Tequila. That might seem easy to answer for you (Kim Jong II, right?), but there are some more difficult choices included such as Weed vs. Beer (really, who can choose?).

Most of the episodes are more random than anything. For instance, Donald Trump vs. Viagra is one of the episodes that come to mind. I don’t know about you, but I would vote erections over comb-overs any day, but it’s still funny to hear these options fought out.

These episodes are all from the first season. It appears that the random nature of most of the episodes in the first season is seen as a downfall. Apparently, the second season is going to try and be more structured and make a little more sense in regards to the topics that are chosen.

The only major problem I noticed was the length of the show. If there was just one comedian discussing two ideas for 30 minutes with commercials it might not seem so bad. However, removing commercials brings the show to about 23 minutes and that’s not a lot of time for a show that has a structure (opening statements, time to debate, etc) and two people debating. Of course, looking at it from another angle, if it sucked, I probably would have said it was too long.

The episodes included in this set are:

Weed vs. Beer
YouTube vs. Porn
Las Vegas vs. The Human Body
American Idol vs. High School
Donald Trump vs. Viagra
Kim Jong II vs. Tila Tequila
Oprah vs. Catholic Church
Paris Hilton vs. Dick Cheney

I’ve been watching South Park since day one. I was a teenager back then. It was one of those shows your parents didn’t really want you to watch, but you didn’t care. At least, that’s how it was in my house. It’s hard not to like South Park. It’s crude, vulgar and offensive in every single way. We, as people, are not PC. Sure, we try to put on a valiant front, but every person has said something potentially bigoted in their life. South Park takes these taboo things and makes them the main emphasis of the story, even somewhat lesson learning for the four young boys who are the main protagonists of the show.

As far as longevity goes, South Park has capitalized on something that only a few other cartoons, such as The Simpsons, have done. Each episode of South Park is relevant to the time in which it was created. Matt and Trey have successfully used pop culture to keep South Park fresh and flavorful. Sure, there have been a few cruddy episodes, here and there, but overall, while in its 12th season, South Park still manages to be going strong with no signs of stopping.

The distinct personalities of the four boys, Stan Marsh (Trey Parker), Eric Cartman (Trey Parker), Kyle Broflovski (Matt Stone) and Kenny McCormick (Matt Stone) are what makes South Park so special and enjoyable. Kyle is the Jew that Cartman likes to pick on, as well as Stan’s best friend. Stan’s from your typical (ok, maybe not – Randy (his dad), is nuts!) American family. Kenny is the poor kid. Cartman is the fat kid, raised by a single mother, and most obviously, the bigot. Sometimes the boys are joined by Leopold “Butters” Stotz (Matt), in place of Kenny. Butters is the best character on the show, next to Cartman. It’s hard to describe him, but he’s definitely the most lovable (excluding his “What, What in the Butt” moment).

So, it’s about time the creators of South Park brought out a DVD dedicated to one of the show’s best characters, Eric Cartman. Now, if only they’d release the best of Butters, I’d be ecstatic. Until then, The Cult of Cartman – Revelations is more than enough to entertain me and remind me of all of the awesome (though some are particularly disturbing) moments that Cartman has had on the show.
