History YMMV / SouthParkS10E1TheReturnOfChef

* EndingAversion: If you're aware already of Chef's incredibly grim fate at the end, and the fact that the Super Adventure Club [[TheBadGuyWins not only win]], [[KarmaHoudini but get off completely scot-free]], [[AngstAversion it will be incredibly difficult to both watch the episode or get invested in the episode's plot]].

* {{Anvilicious}}: The message regarding the barely concealed Scientology metaphor of the Super Adventure Club is even blunter than their previous episode on the subject. The "Super Adventure Club" is a fruity club that ruined a "fun guy" and their beliefs are far more absurd and preposterous than the other major religions. Unlike Mormonism and other religions, Stone and Parker make it clear there see nothing redeeming or of value that the "Super Adventure Club" brings.

** Mr. Mackey watching Detective Jarvis interrogate the fourth graders on Chef's possible pedophilia and asking them if the latter touched them in certain ways using a doll can be this because seasons later in "[[Recap/SouthParkS14E10Insheeption Insheeption]]", [[spoiler:it's revealed that he was molested by a man in a Woodsey Owl costume as a child]].

** According to Music/IsaacHayes' son, Chef's "fruity little club" literally brainwashing and ruining "a cool guy" wasn't that much of an exaggeration. As it turned out, Hayes never intended to quit ''South Park'' in protest of "[[Recpa/SouthParkS9E12TrappedInTheCloset Trapped in the Closet]]", rather the Church took advantage of the fact that he'd just had a debilitating stroke and, in his absence, quit ''for'' him (not unlike [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Lisa_McPherson what they'd done with Lisa McPherson]])! "Trapped In The Closet" may have exposed what Scientologists actually believe, but this episode ended up (unintentionally) exposing what they ''do.''

* UncannyValley: Chef's dialogue is actually previous dialogue that's been mixed up really badly making him sound like an edited Youtube video. This might come off as unsettling to some.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Kyle's eulogy for Chef is quite a touching moment, and really shows how much the kids cared about Chef.

* TearJerker: Again, Chef's death, and also his funeral.
** Let's not forget the saddest use of the show's catchphrase.
--->'''Stan:''' Oh my god. They killed Chef.\\
'''Kyle:''' You bastards... '''''YOU BASTARDS!!!'''''
** After that, when Chef [[CallBack craps himself in death]], ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Cartman doesn't laugh]].''

%%Harsher in Hindsight doesn't apply here. It's not an example, for two reasons: 1) that's when the character's death circumstances somehow relate to those of their real-life actor or actress, and 2) everyone dies.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The Return Of Chef is widely considered by many fans to be the most nihilistic of all South Park episodes, even by the show's own standards. From its dark subject matter about pedophilia, to Chef's grisly fate at the end, and the fact that the Super Adventure Club (a group of [[WouldHurtAChild child-rapists]]) [[KarmaHoudini don't face any comeuppance for their actions]]. This is one episode that most fans find too dark and depressing to watch a second time.
