剧情
斯坦的叔叔金博和他的战友内德带着斯坦、肯尼、凯尔、卡特曼一起去山里参加一场捕猎游。When they arrive in the wilderness (just outside of South Park), Jimbo gives each of the boys a gun, a can of beer, and a pack of cigarettes, and the hunting festivities begin.
It soon becomes apparent that Jimbo and Ned's idea of hunting is to slaughter every living thing in sight via military weaponry, regardless of the regulations, which they get around by yelling "It's coming right for us!" in order to exploit the loophole that they can kill any animal in self-defense. Stan proves to not have the proper temperament to enjoy hunting (or at least Jimbo and Ned's idea of hunting), and finds himself unable to shoot a living target even when provided the opportunity. However, Jimboappears to be impressed with Kenny, who drinks gasoline straight from the can. While hunting, the boys realize that one of the nearby mountains is rumbling, a fact Ned and Jimbo ignore until it is too late.
Back in town, at the South Park Center for Seismic Activity, Stan's dad, Randy, the town geologist, discovers that the mountain is going to erupt.
Meanwhile, on the mountain, Jimbo accidentally sets Ned on fire while the boys are roasting hot dogs. Cartman then tells the story of Scuzzlebutt. Cartman describes Scuzzlebutt as a creature that lives on the mountain and kills anyone who dares to climb to the top because it likes the taste of blood and to add pieces to its deformed body. Instead of a left hand he has a piece of celery and one of his legs is missing and has been replaced with Patrick Duffy. He also claims that he weaves wicker baskets as a hobby.
The boys don't believe Cartman's tale, so he decides to dress up as the creature the next morning in order to scare them. His plan backfires, however, when the boys tell Jimbo and Ned that Cartman is missing. Once Cartman dressed up as Scuzzlebutt is found, they realize they could become famous by shooting Scuzzlebutt. They start shooting at and chasing after him until Cartman reveals that he isn't Scuzzlebutt, bringing disappointment to Ned and Jim.
At a lower elevation, some of the townspeople are organizing a search and rescue mission for the hunting party (yet unaware that the mountain is a volcano and about to erupt) while other South Park residents dig a trench, under the guidance of Randy, to divert the lava away from the town. Suddenly, the mountain erupts, and the hunting group tries to flee only to find themselves trapped on the other side of the trench.
The real Scuzzlebutt then appears and weaves a wicker basket, carrying the hunting party to safety. The lava then flows through the trench and, due to Randy's miscalculation, destroys Denver. Stan then kills Scuzzlebutt in a misguided attempt to prove he can kill something and make Uncle Jimbo proud. Unfortunately, Jimbo is less than impressed, saying the "some things you do kill and some you don't". Stan doesn't understand, since earlier in the episode, Jimbo would have shot an endangered species. The boys finally decide that hunting sucks and go to watch cartoons.
冷知识
- 兰迪·马什在本集首次出场，但直到“象猪交配”才揭示出他作为斯坦父亲的身份。
- 在西班牙语配音的版本中，Scuzzlebutt腿上的帕特里克·达菲被换成了瑞奇·马丁（Ricky Martin）。在匈牙利语配音的版本中则是汤姆·克鲁斯。在国语配音的版本中是一位政客（没有具体身份）。在粤语配音的版本中是【待补充】。
- 在内德发誓不再用枪的时候，他的步枪正处于瞄准状态，但他的手没有碰到枪。
- 斯坦杀了Scuzzlebutt时，帕特里克的头从他的脖子上掉了下来，但当其面对他的戏剧性时刻时，他的头又回到了身体上。
- 卡特曼拿到枪的时候假装说他打过越战还说这勾起了他的回忆。在“墨西哥杀人蛙”中，他表现出对越南一无所知。
- 当金博叔叔发现了一头鹿时，他拿着个火箭发射器说：“看着像是46铅径”。霰弹枪的铅径是数字越小霰弹直径越大，所以46铅径实际上应该是非常小的。手枪的口径则是数字越大弹药直径越大。
- 本集是首个被分级为TV-MA的一集。
评价
"Volcano" had originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on August 20th, 1997. Similar, to the early South Park episodes before it, was slightly watched by more than one million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings. This was considered high for a cable program in the United States at the time. The Environmental Media Association nominated for the episode for an Environmental Media Award in the "TV episodic Comedy category. However, the eventual recipient of the award was The Simpsons for the episode named "The Old Man and the Lisa.
"Volcano" generally received positive reviews. USA Today critic Matt Roush praised this episode, including the "Duck and Cover" films. The Advertiser called this episode "outrageously lewd" and "hysterically funny". The Washington Post critic Tom Shales consider episode funnier than its precedent. Peter Hawes of The Sunday Star-Times in Auckland, New Zealand stated that the episode was funny and intelligent. He stated, "Once again, the US national psyche is imperishable captured by a crude cartoon". He liked the way adults were portrayed as less sensible than children, and he particularly enjoyed the "Duck and Cover" videos: "It is terrifyingly funny, for it is a word-for-word recreation of the insane Atom-bomb Safety film, created and distributed in 1952 by the US government, who never for a second thought it would work". The Daily Record of |Glasgow, Scotland praised the episode and described it as "hardcore humor". "Love it or loathe it, you can't ignore the adult animation series whose bite is worse than its bark".
