剧情

SpoilerAlert 剧透警告!!!

以下内容有剧透,请谨慎观看!!!

凯尔·布罗夫洛夫斯基早上醒来,准备拿早餐吃的麦片。在走到桌子之前,凯尔注意到她的妈妈正在客厅和卡特曼谈着逾越节。凯尔气愤地叫他离开,卡特曼也照着做了,但走之前告诉了凯尔,今年的节日将会因为一种生物而令人难忘。

后来,有几个孩子报名参加了速泊福超市赞助的复活节寻蛋活动。埃里克·卡特曼正在告诉几个男孩一种叫做“犹柏卡布拉”的怪物,它在逾越节时会出来捕食小孩,而今年的逾越节恰好和复活节在一周。这番话令凯尔气急败坏,说只有骗子和蠢货才会相信犹柏卡布拉这种东西。

巴特斯待在他的卧室,害怕犹柏卡布拉真可能存在。不久之后,卡特曼出现在他的房间。在和他交流一番之后,巴特斯同意一起寻找犹柏卡布拉。在这之后,巴特斯和卡特曼出现在森林之中,不断喊出反耶稣的言论,试图引诱犹柏卡布拉现身。

卡特曼来到速泊福,试图说服他们的老板取消这次寻蛋活动,或者让他参加这次活动,因为犹柏卡布拉给这次活动带来了安全隐患。在卡特曼向他们展示了疑似拍下这个生物的录像之后,速泊福的总裁比林斯先生决定给卡特曼他需要的东西,来抓住这个生物。然而他浪费了飞机的油,先飞到巴哈马的亚特兰蒂斯度假中心玩了一圈,然后才去把嫌疑视频交给了《寻找大脚怪》节目组,他们胡乱分析一番之后,证实了录像里是犹柏卡布拉,这吓坏了卡特曼。

那天晚上,卡特曼躺在床上,害怕犹柏卡布拉真可能存在。随后,卡特曼来到南方公园教堂,让巴特斯·斯多奇克雷格·塔克托肯·布莱克守着教堂入口。在听到外面传来一阵动静之后,三个人跑掉了,把卡特曼留在了教堂里。开始有东西试着进来,吓到了他。原来是比林斯先生和他的下属进来了,他们绑架了卡特曼,给他穿上了兔子套装,把他关在了公园里。

比林斯和下属来到凯尔家门口,告诉凯尔,公园里放了一个祭品,来献祭给犹柏卡布拉。凯尔随后来到公园,告诉卡特曼,如果他承认犹柏卡布拉不是真实存在的,凯尔就放了他。因为卡特曼害怕得不行,他说他真的相信存在这样一个东西,凯尔听完离开了,并没有放了他。

后来,公园里有一双红色的、畸形的眼睛盯上了卡特曼。然而,这其实是“寻找大脚怪”节目组使用的双筒望远镜,他们把卡特曼错看成“兔子人”。他们麻醉了卡特曼,随后离开了,打算登上动物星球频道的节目,讲述他们的遭遇。

卡特曼梦见自己到了古埃及,这里正在爆发《圣经》中讲到的天灾。凯尔也出现在了他的梦里。卡特曼问了凯尔天灾的事情,凯尔告诉他,天灾发生了,是因为法老不允许犹太人离开。卡特曼说他可以试着说服法老让他们离开,但凯尔反对他这么做,说上帝会让法老的心肠更加坚硬,所以他不可能会听劝的。

卡特曼试着说服法老——他的爸爸,让犹太人离开,然而,他的努力失败了。在目睹了几家犹太人割开了羊羔的喉咙,以及几个埃及孩子的死亡后,卡特曼和法老发现自己错了。卡特曼发誓成为犹太人,但没多久他的头就爆炸了。

凯尔备受良心折磨,最后还是把卡特曼救了,把他放在了床上。后来,在复活节寻蛋活动现场,卡特曼试图让大家都改信犹太教,他自己好像已经信了犹太教。在失败之后,他试图向凯尔表示同情,说他终于明白了因为自己的宗教,被大家嘲笑的滋味。凯尔冷冷地回应了一声。背景播放着欢快的音乐,镜头上升到空中,一轮映着大卫六芒星的太阳在空中闪耀。

Critical Reception

AV Club“Jewpacabra”打出“A-”的评分并评论道:“The episode, like so many before it, rests on Cartman’s anti-Semitism, which is one of the show’s trademarks, a source of humor that's funny because of how ignorant Cartman is. The writers make it clear that even as he’s smart enough to put together some huge, complex schemes, he’s still a racist kid that completely misunderstands what he’s racist against (a clear poke at all racism, really). The show simply takes it to such extremes that it loses its power to be offensive and becomes absurdly funny. And, more often than not, Cartman never obtains his goals, his schemes backfiring.

Still, it’s a solid episode. On first viewing, I thought the episode seemed a bit disjointed, careening from the Jewpacabra storyline to the dream sequence, but after a second run-through of the episode, it actually works really well. It feels like two separate ideas for the same episode crammed into one, but it manages to work thanks to the show's absurd humor, some great lines, and a brisk pace. The episode also stays squarely focused on just Cartman and his plight (whither Stan and Kenny?). Even when other threads are brought in, like the Finding Bigfoot fun, it's only a touch that serves the main story, rather than detracts from it. It’s not perfect, and it’s probably not an “all-time great,” but it’s a rollicking episode with plenty of great moments that's the best offering of the new season thus far.[1] IGN“Jewpacabra”打出“6.5”的评分并评论道:“Overall, it's just a bit disappointing that this episode never reached its full potential. "South Park does Passover" sounds like a dynamite synopsis on paper, but the whole thing just lacked focus, which ultimately led to nothing in particular. There was just a little too much going on in each scene with no dedicated theme to speak of. Even the Jewpacabra element kind of fell by the wayside in favor of some trippy flashback to ancient Egypt -- an entertaining bit, for sure. But why was it there? (I will admit, the slaughtering of the lamb had some hilarious imagery.)[2]
