Review of Satan (South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut)

Movie(s): South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)

First Appearance: The Bible, sort of.

Voiced by: Trey Parker

Call him what you like - Lucifer, Shaitan, the Devil - but he's always scary and badass and in control. Unless, of course, you're Matt Stone and Trey Parker, in which case Satan may be physically well developed but he's rather more shy and retiring than we're used to - to the extent that his gay lover, Saddam Hussein, physically and emotionally abuses the poor fella. His attempt to regain his own sense of dignity and independence is the closest thing this foul-mouthed classic has to a story arc, and if you end up cheering for the underworld dog, well, all to the good.

Stroke of genius

Turns out that Satan has a sense of gratitude, offering Kenny one wish in return for his help in getting rid of Saddam Hussein. Well isn't that nice?

Fun fact


Yes, that's a picture of Scream actor Skeet Ulrich hanging above Satan's bed.
