Aaah, Dickens. The imagery of cobblestone streets, cragging London buildings, and nutmeg-filled Yorkshire puddings. Hello, I'm A British Person. For years now, the character Pip has been featured prominently in the American show, South Park. However, many Americans don't realize where Pip came from. He's the prowling little adorable Englishman from Charles Dickens' timeless classic, Great Expectations.
And so tonight, the makers of South Park have agreed to take a break from their regular show, and instead present the prestigious Dickens tale in its entirety from beginning to end. Indeed, after watching this show, you'll know the timeless classic as if you'd…read the Cliff Notes themselves.
Our story is set in England, in the small town of Drop-A-Chair-Upon-Top-Snot, where a young blond-haired boy named Pip was on his way to see his parents...
