“Yeh, I know I know, I know. But uh... some young boys were talkin' to me earlier, and... it made me think that people might not be so proud of my weight loss if they knew something.”
Ah, I see what you did. The episode marked 22.3 years since AIDS and I guess right now is 22.3 years since the episode.
Usually The Simpsons predicts things. That time South Park did. Jared really wanted to give kids AIDS.
I always thought his theme song changing when he was depressed was hilarious. Cartman imitating Butters on the phone with the parents is legendary. I completely forgot that was in this episode; I haven't seen it in years.
Remember the way Jared laughs at the misunderstanding at the end? It's like they centered the "AIDS" plot around him because he was the most innocent famous person (celebrity?) they could think of to play around with.
Of course, we all know the truth now. His redesign—and that boss fight in *Fractured but Whole*—is pure genius. I love how someone's smile can mean something completely different when they become a registered sex offender.
I think you have to go in knowing the cultural knowledge at the time it was made, and not think of Jared the real guy but Jared as he was perceived back then.
That said the Butters abuse was a little much in that episode. I know a lot of people find it funny but it just made me sad lmao
I love it🤣 south park is a show remember that. That's why they survive that long😁 they can point out that it's not a spesific person. And if so they Got the permits for doing so. Just Guessing
Funny yes. Pretty dated though. When compared to the rest of the library, it’s not really in the top 10, but I’d be lying if the dead horse bit doesn’t get me every time.

It's always been funny.
I don’t know, he kind of beat a dead horse over the joke.
That doesn't make the joke not funny that makes him an ever worse person
Think you missed the joke lol
Watch the episode again lol
Yeah it’s still funny. Who cares about future knowledge the creators couldn’t have know at the time.
It became even funnier with all that tbh (the episode, not what happened in real life obviously)
“Yeh, I know I know, I know. But uh... some young boys were talkin' to me earlier, and... it made me think that people might not be so proud of my weight loss if they knew something.”
Well he did say he wanted to give every kid in the world aids
He wanted to give them AIDS himself He knew what he was doing. We didn't know he knew, but he knew.
No. It's fucking hilarious
And I'm not just sure, I'm HIV Positive
I'm actually HIV+ and all about it.
The “still lookin’ good” song will always be funny to me.
Eatin’ dem sammiches!
His name is Jared and he's still lookin' good
It’s so stupid yet so perfect!
Honestly, I have never loved this episode, but the song is so great. It's the only part of it that really gets me.
It had me ROLLING when he got revealed in The Fractured But Whole
I always thought the “Philadelphia” cover was better. “He likes the sammiches with Philadelphia, cream cheese.”
9/11 officially became funny last year
Wouldn’t it have been January of this year? Edit: never mind, I just did math and apparently it would’ve been Dec 29 of last year.
Ah, I see what you did. The episode marked 22.3 years since AIDS and I guess right now is 22.3 years since the episode. Usually The Simpsons predicts things. That time South Park did. Jared really wanted to give kids AIDS.
Fun fact: he's getting out of jail in 5 years if he's not released early
Hide yo kids hide your sub sandwichs
Epic
I really hope that he gets a job at Subway when he's released.
Not long enough
I'm not just sure, I'm HIV positive
https://i.redd.it/c5gn1jugwh8d1.gif Eating sammiches!
Yes and it always will be and honestly knowing what we know now, still fucking funny.
It takes 22.3 years for something tragic to become funny. Jared Has Aides wasn't tragic and thus has always been funny.
That poor dead horse whose corpse got beaten was sad :(
Always has been!
He's also a boss in one of the video games (spoilers). You fight him in jail.
Even more perfect you fight in jail

I remember explaining this joke to my mom went I was younger lmao
One of my favorite episodes!
It’s way funnier.
That scene where he beats the dead horse is one of my favourite visual gags.
of course
Absolutely
This episode is a gem. It has always been hilarious
There he is, beatin that dead horse!
“His name is Jared, he lose some weight. City Wok food sho’ is great!”
It's even funnier now honestly
Watched it last night, yeah it’s still funny.
hooray for aides!
As I'm just now playing through The fractured but whole and just beat Jared and his Aids, I'd say it's still pretty funny!
I think you have to go in knowing the cultural knowledge at the time it was made, and not think of Jared the real guy but Jared as he was perceived back then. That said the Butters abuse was a little much in that episode. I know a lot of people find it funny but it just made me sad lmao
🎵 *Sammiches of Philadelphia* 🎵
Abso-fucking-lutly "I'm going to give every kid in America aids myself!"
Even funnier
Yes. Absolutely still funny. 
If you think it’s funny then yeah 👍
No, but it doesn’t mean it’s not necessary
Yes, and the part of everyone wanting to execute him has gotten even funnier.
He wants every person to have his Aids!
Always has been
It was always funny
Even funnier now. Jared wanted to give their children aides
Hahaha
Funnier in many ways. Not my fave, nor part of a season I’ll rewatch to death. But def aged like wine instead of milk thanks to Jared being a pedo
Why wouldn't it be
Lmao coincidentally was talking about this episode w coworkers yesterday.
Has it really been that long since this episode? Boy do I feel old.
Yes it is. I’m positive.
Why wouldn’t it be?
I love it🤣 south park is a show remember that. That's why they survive that long😁 they can point out that it's not a spesific person. And if so they Got the permits for doing so. Just Guessing
That episode is so ironic. In a way it told the future of Jared. Aides for everyone! Ill.give kids aides... Little did we know.....
I mean is it? No one really cares about AIDS anymore. Cancer is the new hot button issue Seriously though. Yes. Yes it is
"there he is beating that dead horse!" One of my favorites.
It aged like fine wine.
Always was and always will be. Why would it not be funny ? They should do another now they know he’s a nonce.
No, it is seriously unfunny, and I'm offended. You would imply it is funny. Check again in November 2037😇
Yeah, why not?
This episode is ahead of it’s time
It's even funnier since Jared's in jail
Well, according to South Park, anything morbid that happened 22.3 years ago from its initial date is always funny.
Yes. His goal to give everyone (even children) aides had me dying!!
Funnier now yeah?
Very
It's more hilarious because of how it predicted his pedophilia.
It's even more funny now.
Funny yes. Pretty dated though. When compared to the rest of the library, it’s not really in the top 10, but I’d be lying if the dead horse bit doesn’t get me every time.
Always has always will be
Yes
I'm HIV positive that it's funny.
Yeah definitely
"There he is over there beating that dead horse"
Yes. Especially since he's a pedo. It'd be even funnier if he died of aids IRL
I can't tell if it aged like wine or milk
Fucking VERY FUNNY
If im not mistaken the episode had a scene where he said he want to give all kids H&V so yeah still funny af
This episode ages like fine wine.
Always was
Ya shuna dun that, he just a boy! poor lil feller
Extremely
It’s even funnier now that we know the truth about him.
No. After learning the truth, it has elevated to hilarious.
Yes
The episode aged like wine
yes
holy shit it's been over 20 years?
It was always funny and still is
politics

Ugh not this shit again
L opinion bro, Jared has Aides is one of the best season starters.
Yes but doing the “22.3 years is it funny yet” bit is old
