Jerome McElroy, often referred to as "The Chef" or simply "Chef", was a recurring fictional character on the Comedy Fundamental series South Park who was voiced by Isaac Hayes. A deli worker at the local elementary school in the town of Due south Park, Colorado, Chef was more often than not portrayed as more intelligent than the other adult residents of the town, and agreement to the children. His advice was often sought by the bear witness's core group of kid protagonists —Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick — every bit he was the only adult they completely trusted. He frequently gave completely honest advice without considering whether information technology is advisable for children, usually in the not sequitur grade of a lascivious soul song.

Chef was inspired past Hayes and other pop soul singers of the 1970s, likewise as an actual dining hall worker encountered past serial co-creator Trey Parker while he attended the University of Colorado.^[1] Chef played a less prominent function as the series progressed beyond its before seasons, and the character was retired at the beginning of the 10th flavor in "The Render of Chef" following the controversial deviation of Hayes.

Character [edit]

In tradition with the show's animation mode, Chef is composed of simple geometrical shapes, and is animated with utilize of a computer, though he is given the impression of being a construction paper cutout composition animated through the apply of end motion, which was the technique used to animate the "Spirit of Christmas" shorts and the show's offset episode.^[2] Chef was an overweight Blackness American with a beard who unremarkably wore blue pants and a ruddy shirt. He oftentimes dons a traditional chef's hat and white frock on which the discussion "CHEF" is printed in black, even when he wasn't at work.

Until Token Blackness and his family unit were given a more notable role starting in the show's 4th season, Chef was portrayed as the only blackness resident in all of South Park. Parker and co-creator Matt Rock initially planned to take one of themselves vocalism the graphic symbol, fearing that their ideal candidates of Hayes (Lou Rawls and Barry White) would never agree to vox the graphic symbol because the duo had admittedly and purposefully created him as a "stereotype" to reverberate what they felt was the perception near inhabitants of less-various mountainous Colorado towns had of black people.^{[three] [4] [5]} However, Hayes agreed to vocalisation the grapheme due in function to the audacity of some of the show'southward early scripts.^{[3] [6]} Chef (usually affectionately) referred to most people in town with the pejorative "crackers", including the children.

Chef, later abandoning his musical aspirations, moved to South Park with plans to open his own restaurant.^[7] Before this, he had befriended several famous recording artists in the music industry, including Elton John and Meat Loaf, helping them to launch their successful careers.^[eight] Despite failing at yet another dream, Chef made his manner onto the S Park City Quango, representing Public Safety. In addition to dispensing wisdom to the children and a few of the developed townsfolk, Chef speaks out against what he feels are outrageous ideas. For example, he opposes the rampant prescription of Ritalin in the episode "Timmy 2000",^[9] and he objects to the town's credence of Mr. Garrison committing purposefully flamboyant sadomasochistic acts in front of schoolchildren in "The Death Army camp of Tolerance".^[10] In "Chef Goes Nanners", he briefly converts to Islam and adopted the name "Abdul Mohammed Jabar Rauf Kareem Ali" when he demanded that South Park alter its official flag because it depicted the boondocks'south racist past.^[11] On several other occasions, Chef helped save South Park (and in a few other instances, the entire world) from potential disasters.^{[12] [13] [14] [fifteen] [16] [17]}

Chef is as well known for often engaging in coincidental sex, a habit he oft expresses through song. He drives a 1980s woodie station railroad vehicle with a vanity plate that reads "LUV CHEF". He is oft seen accompanied by numerous immature women when at dwelling or on vacation, and is even revealed to have had a one-dark stand up with Kathie Lee Gifford.^[18] He once resorted to male prostitution in an effort to raise money to pay legal fees, and had sex with nearly every woman in Southward Park before having to stop due to exhaustion.^[8] In "The Succubus", Chef briefly becomes an office worker and took up monogamy afterwards coming together a adult female named Veronica. The two were engaged to exist married until it was revealed that Veronica was really a succubus.^[19] In the South Park video game, the children tin can seek Chef'due south advice at one of the many buildings labelled "Chef's Shack O' Love", which is unsaid to exist a brothel, complete with a naked woman in Chef's bed.

Chef's parents, Nellie and Thomas McElroy, live in Scotland. The couple have fabricated two major appearances in the episodes "The Succubus" and "The Biggest Douche in the Universe", and made a cursory cameo in a town Christmas celebration in "Scarlet Sleigh Down". They were not seen at Chef's funeral in "The Render of Chef".

Chef is known to have run a quiz show called Chef's Luv Shack, every bit is credible in the video game of the same name.

Human relationship with the children [edit]

Chef endearingly calls the boys "the children" or just "children" (fifty-fifty when addressing one individually), and, unless he is preoccupied with a female companion, is usually willing to assist them with any help they need. He is consistently the only adult in town who the boys held in high regard, and they view him as their friend.^[20] They are also visibly saddened if his presence in their lives is threatened.^{[19] [20]} In add-on to being fans of his nutrient (especially his trademark Salisbury steak), the boys often heartily anticipate encountering Chef when waiting in the schoolhouse lunch line, and then that they tin can explain whatever dilemma is affecting them, unremarkably after their traditional greeting:

Chef: Hello there, children!
The boys [in unison]: Hey Chef!
Chef: How's it goin'?
The boys [1 or in unison]: Bad.
Chef: Why "bad"?

The boys sometimes have it upon themselves to travel to Chef's house individually to seek his guidance on all manners of their issues, specifically relationships. He ordinarily gives advice in the form of a soul song, which usually winds upwardly being well-nigh sex, whether or non sex activity was relevant to the topic at hand. Hearing the songs would oftentimes leave the boys even more dislocated and with no further understanding of what they initially ask virtually. In earlier seasons, Chef is ofttimes approached by the children when they are unfamiliar with a term that pertains to adult matters, such as "lesbian" or "prostitute". This happens so often that it eventually angers Chef, who pleads with them to finish asking questions he feels are non appropriate for him to answer. Despite this, the children continue request these questions, much to his chagrin. An absent-minded Chef sometimes answers anyhow, not realizing his lapse until the damage had been done. Chef acknowledges that doing this had repeatedly gotten him in trouble with his boss, Chief Victoria.^[21]

Music [edit]

In addition to singing in an endeavour to explain something to the children, Chef likewise sings about things relevant to what has transpired in the plot. These songs were original compositions written past Parker, and performed past Hayes in the same sexually suggestive R&B manner he had utilized during his ain music career. Within the show, Chef is the original composer of these songs, including "Stinky Britches", which was depicted as having been covered past Alanis Morissette without proper credit to Chef. When Chef is left with legal debt afterwards losing a court case to have himself credited as the song's original author, several bands and artists (invitee starring as themselves) hold a concert dubbed "Chef Assistance", a parody of Alive Aid, to raise the funds.^[8] The episode inspired a real-life album, Chef Assistance: The South Park Anthology, which featured guest stars from the episode such every bit Elton John and Ozzy Osbourne. The album includes many of the full-length versions of the songs Chef had performed in the show's first two seasons; "Chocolate Salty Balls" was released as a single, and reached #1 in both the record charts of Ireland and the Britain.^[22] As the serial progressed and Chef's role became more intermittent, his spontaneous outbursts into vocal became less of a show standard.

Parker and Stone originally planned to take Chef sing a vocal in every single episode only abased the idea after finding it too challenging and fearing writing too many songs would make them less funny, like to their rationale for dispensing with Kenny'southward episodic deaths.^[23]

Divergence of Isaac Hayes [edit]

On January 4, 2006, Hayes defended South Park's style of controversial humor to The A.V. Club and XM's Opie and Anthony evidence, going so far as to annotation that although he was non pleased with the bear witness's delineation of the Church of Scientology, of which he was a fellow member, he "understood what Matt and Trey are doing." All the same, on March thirteen, 2006, almost ii months after suffering a stroke,^[24] Hayes was reported to have quit Southward Park over objections to the show'southward attitudes toward and depiction of various religions, challenge that the testify had crossed the line from satire into intolerance.

Despite the content of the official press release, at that place remains considerable speculation near the motivations behind his departure. Parker and Stone affirm that he quit due to the controversial episode "Trapped in the Closet", and its treatment of Scientology. Rock commented in a manner that suggested that Hayes practiced a double standard regarding the treatment of religion on Due south Park: "[We] never heard a peep out of Isaac in any manner until nosotros [lampooned] Scientology. He wants a dissimilar standard for religions other than his ain, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry brainstorm."^[25] Fox News reporter Roger Friedman suggested that, considering he was still suffering from the effects of his stroke, Hayes was hospitalized and not in a position to make a rational conclusion to leave the show. Friedman besides reported that Hayes left the show because of the external pressure forced by his young man Scientologists, the decision was not voluntary, and the original press release announcing his difference was put out by someone who was non authorized to represent him.^[26] In a 2016 oral history of South Park in The Hollywood Reporter, Hayes' son Isaac Hayes Three confirmed that the determination to leave the prove was made past Hayes' entourage while Hayes was unable to make such decisions on his ain.^[27]

Retirement [edit]

Nine days later Hayes's departure from product, the controversy was satirized in the show's Season 10 premiere "The Return of Chef". For the episode, voice clips of Chef were taken from previous episodes and linked together to form new dialogue to back up the plot,^[28] which involves Chef'south leaving Southward Park to join the "Super Adventure Gild", which somewhen brainwashes Chef until he had the mindset of a kid molester. The organization combines outdoor activities with kid molestation, an act they perceive as justified because of their behavior.

Later the boys restore Chef to his original mindset, only are unable to convince him to come back to South Park, a rope bridge Chef is walking across is struck by lightning. He falls to a violent death, culminating with his mutilation at the hands of a grizzly bear and a mount lion and finally discharged fecal matter (a reference to the episode "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes", in which Cartman claims that the relaxation of the bowel muscles confirms that a person is really expressionless).^[29]

Due south Park holds a memorial service for him (Canadian comedians Terrance and Phillip even nourish, despite having never met the man themselves), in which Kyle gives a eulogy stating, "We shouldn't be mad at Chef for leaving us, we should be mad at that fruity little lodge for scrambling his brains", a deliberate parallel with Hayes' deviation from the show in favor of Scientology.^[20]

Mimicking a scene from the finale of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Chef's trunk is secretly nerveless by the Super Adventure Club, who managed to revive him as a cyborg — identified on the show's official website equally "Darth Chef" (a parody of Star Wars' Darth Vader). He is fitted with a conform and mask like those of Vader, except with the helmet taking on the appearance of Chef's trademark chapeau, and wields a red, glowing spatula, parodying Vader'south red lightsaber. Darth Chef'southward voice was provided by British comedian and filmmaker Peter Serafinowicz, who voiced Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Darth Chef has not made an appearance in subsequent episodes, but has appeared with other characters in the groundwork of the South Park opening sequence, and is mentioned in the episode "Stunning and Brave", when PC Principal says the kids drove him to kill himself, which is non true.^[20]

Chef is alluded to after his decease in the season 10 episode "Hell on Earth 2006" where, during Satan's party, there are multiple scenes in which a Caucasian male dressed equally Chef can be seen in the background. He is likewise referenced in the flavor 14 episode "Crème Fraiche" when Randy becomes the new chef at school and greets the kids with Chef'southward trademark lines. Chef's death is as well indirectly mentioned in the season 19 episode "Stunning and Brave" when PC Master talks about all the things he finds offensive (incorrectly assuming that Chef'due south decease was a suicide, earlier giving Butters detention for correcting him). Isaac Hayes himself died on August 10, 2008, 2 years after his departure from South Park. On November iv, 2008, the picture Render to Sleepaway Camp was released in the United States; filmed in 2003, the film features Hayes in a cameo as a live-action version of Chef, referred to one time equally Charlie just portrayed/credited as South Park 'due south "The Chef".

Chef makes an appearance in the 2014 video game S Park: The Stick of Truth as the reanimated Nazi Zombie penultimate boss later in the game. Again, voice clips of Isaac Hayes as Chef are recycled from by episodes with the exception of recorded speech clips from Adolf Hitler. During his battle with the actor and the other boys, Chef will express remorse by proverb things similar "I'm pitiful, boys" and "what accept I washed?" While at that place were vague references to the Super Hazard Club and his death, there were no references to the Darth Chef suit. After being defeated, Chef regains control over his listen and tries to tell the boys, just he is and then killed by Clyde and the New Kid.^{[ citation needed ]}

In a sketch from the Robot Chicken episode "Boogie Bardstown in: No Need, I Have Coupons", Chef is a contestant on MasterChef Celebrity Showdown, where he has to cook with the affair he fears most: thetans.^[30]
