Oh no, they killed Chef (Scotsman)
Comments(0) The soul singer has voiced the Chef character in South Park since 1997, but left recently because of what he allegedly called the animated show’s religious “intolerance and bigotry”. Founders Matt Stone and Trey Parker said that Hayes, a Scientologist, was angry that South Park mocked the religion in an episode last November.
Hayes did not participate in making Wednesday’s episode; the character’s lines appeared to be patched together through tapes of past dialogue.
[Chef’s return might have resulted in a Darth Vader-like character, but Chef also becomes a Frankenstein-like monster. Instead of sewn together body parts taken from different bodies, Chef’s lines are edited and recycled from different episodes, which I think is interesting. BK]
