I have come to cherish South Park but if there's a criticism to make about the show for me personally, it is the under-utilization of Kenny to the point where he is an object on screen rather than a person with any sort of dimension. He rarely gets to engage in his own stories and so, to see him get a story here in "Major Boobage" that is also actually the focus of the episode is fantastic.
This episode also showcases the rarely seen sweet and sensitive side of Cartman, one of the most foul characters to arguably appear in all of television. His evilness is heightened by the fact that he is but a child in a cartoon series. Yet, here we see him harbouring known fugitives of the law in his basement after cats are outlawed in South Park after students were found 'cheesing' over cat urine.
Both stories work very well here. Kenny actually has plenty of great moments, especially one where he is discovered by Cartman to be in his basement cheesing over all the cats that Cartman had secretly hidden.
I really enjoyed this episode even if I feel that it could improve on a re-watch. There's a great side story with Gerald here that also adds plenty of laughs, leading to a great climax. "Major Boobage" is a classic South Park episode that showcases how absurdly people can react to the possibility of threat towards children, even if it means banning cats to prevent children from 'cheesing' themselves. A great traditional South Park satire with strong characterization and plenty of memorable moments.
