• The Chewbacca Defense

  
  
  I often find old clips of South Park that remind me just why the show was so funny in the first place, and the Chewbacca defense is one I've always held in high regard.
  
  The insane combination of the wired, poorly impersonated Johnny Cochrane coupled with the use of one of Star Wars' most beloved characters as a court defense is as ingenious as it is hilarious. Compared to the innumerable Family Guy skits involving seemingly unrelated characters, South Park always manages to keep their pop culture references wound into the plot.
  
  The very fact that the characters are aware of the Chewbacca defense and fear it is a true comedic feat. Either that, or it just does not make sense.
  
  What are your favorite South Park moments?
