Jesse Longo with Den of Geek rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars, commenting that "The episode was less of a trip and more of a mellow high.

Can you tell what is meant by the critical evaluation in bold. I think that it could mean that the episode was not a stunner but average but it stems from the stars that were given.

  • For me, it's hilarious to read serious critiques of a South Park episode. It's pretty common for movie and television critics to make humorous comparisons like this.

A trip is a hallucinogenic experience. A mellow high is a milder altered state with a sense of well-being.

The terms are being used figuratively, of course, and subjectively, with trip being at the "best" end of the rating spectrum.

    Worth noting, I think, is that both trip and high are common parlance within the drug culture.
