Wow! Multiple Pips! Cool!


This is the page where I say the differences and similarities between the original Pip and the South Park Pip. These are in no particular order. It's just a bunch of usless facts. It's kinda cool actually! Well, I think it's neat. Anyways, here it is.

- Pip is still sensitive as always, in fact, at this point in the book their personalities are basically the same, I heard that he stays the same in sensitivity which is only altered in his quest to become a gentleman.

- Pip is still an orphan, but we know who he lives with in the novel. He lives with his older sister and her husband Joe Gargey. They call his sister Mrs. Joe Gargey.

- To that immature jerk who wrote out the "Top Ten Reasons Why Everyone Hates Pip" and put the statement "Pip is gay" as one of the reasons,(yeah, that's right. Mess with Pip and you hear from me!) he most certainly is not. Pip in fact fancies this young girl who tortures him called Estella in Great Expectations. Okay, so no account for taste, but still.

- This is interesting: When Charles Dickens took a trip to America, he said what he hated most about America was the habit Americans had of SPITTING. Hmmmmm........

- Pip is still tortured in the book, but instead of the torments coming from other mean kids (well, I guess Estella could count), he's tortured by his older sister, Mrs. Joe Gargey, who raises him. The rest of the family ain't all that nice to him either, especially his "Uncle" Pumblechook (I put the quotation because I'm not to sure if he's really his Uncle or not)

- Acutally, from what I've seen, I don't think Pip has any real problems with the other classmates in the novel, but I think I'm wrong. (NOTE: Dung says he doesn't know, but he is pretty sure that Pip didn't have any problems)

- Pip's best friend in Great Expectations is his brother-in-law, Joe Gargey. Joe Gargey has high hopes of Pip. There's this one point where Pip's just learned the alphabet and he puts together this really strange looking letter for Joe. Joe hasn't gone to school and he says "Here's a J and a O, Pip and a J-O, Joe." Not that you care about that.

- In his family, Pip is more or less tortured verbally than he is physically. The guests usually just insult him in front of him. It's weird though. I don't know how to explain it. Pumblechook probably critizises him the most.

- Pip is tortured physically by his older sis, Mrs. Joe Gargery. She has this stick she uses called "The Tickler" which she uses to beat the cr@p out of him.

- The novel Pip also never sticks up for himself. Unlike the South Park Pip, however, it's not because some ugly counsler who says "mmkay" a lot tells him to. Pip is never allowed to speak during the dinners, where most of the people insult him, he doesn't want to either.

- The part in "Damien" where Cartman says, "Sorry Pip old chap." Is probably a reminiscent of the book. Joe Gargery says that to him all the time.

- The novel Pip wants to be different from everyone else and special.

- I caught Pip cursing in the book. He calls his mean "uncle" Pumblechook (If I had a name like Pumblechook, I'd change it) an @$$. Still, the book takes place in the Victorian era, and refers to donkey. He also didn't say it, he just thought it. Oh, who cares.

- Pip's manner of dress may look strange, but it's most likely taken from the design of the Victorian Era, where the book takes place. I don't think they had pink sox in those days though.

- In the novel, Pip's ambition is to be a gentleman (basically so Estella will like him). This is probably the reason why Pip acts politely to everyone and why he refers to everyone as "Gentlemen" and calls Cartman by his first name.

- Pip actually has quite a few friends in GE. I already told you that he was best friends with his brother-in-law. However, he's also friends with this girl named Biddy who's his classmate. She also helps out around the house after Joe's worker Orlick beats up Mrs. Joe.

- Another friend of Pip's is Mr. Herbert Pocket. Mr. Pocket calls Pip "Handel" as a friendly name. See, he doesn't like calling him Pip because that's his formal name (I'll explain that in a sec), and Herbert doesn't like the name "Philip" so he calls him "Handel." (Yes, it's really weird. What? Did you think I didn't notice that?)

- Actually, I looked it over and I found out the meaning to that name. See, Handel is actually a composer like Mozart. He wrote a piece which had something to do with a blacksmith. Since Pip had been trained to be a blacksmith before he decided to become a gentlemen, Herbert found it a fitting name.

- Okay, I promised to explain the Pip name. Well, you see, because Pip had "Great Expectations" and wanted to be a gentelman. He was adopted by a convict he had helped and his guardian is a guy named Mr. Jaggers. By instructions of the convict Magwitch, he's required to always bear the name of Pip.

- Speaking of the name "Pip" in the story no one really calls him that because they hate him. Pip gave himself the name as a baby. The full quote that SP Pip tried to say in the episode "Elephant Makes Love to a Pig" is "My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tounge could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip."

- This really doesn't belong here, but Pip had some other brothers who are all dead (bummer). The real interesting thing is that one of them was named Tobias. If any of you remember my fanfic, Tobias was the Animorph who was Pip's Peer Leader. (I didn't do that purposley either. Hmmmm. Maybe it seeped into my sub-conciousness.)

- Pip actually gets burnt in GE too. Miss Havishim gets set on fire and he has to save her. He doesn't realize it, but he gets burned in the process too.

- Pip DOESN'T say "Right-o" ONCE throughout all fifty-nine chapters of Great Expectations (or the original ending either).

- Throughout the story, Pip sometimes makes friends with people in the story who used to be his enemies. (Herbert beat him up once and the convict turned out to be his benefactor) Hope that don't mean anything.

- When Herbert and Pip first meet, Herbert challanges Pip to a fight by pressuring him into it, and Pip BREAKS HIS NOSE!

-Here's some movie pics! Skip these if you want, these take a very long time to load!

Miss Havisham and Pip Estella looking pretty.  Prettier than Paltrow! ELVIS LIVES!  No wait, that's Pip I want the file, and the wittles, and do you have a breath mint?


I decided it was wrong to bring out my extreme dislike of the modern movie on this html file. So, I'll do it here.


I think that's all there is. I'll update this if I find something else someday. If you want to know more, read the book or see the classic movie. DO NOT see the new contemporary version though. You'll just get confused. It's serious sh*t too.

I also need to thank someone in all this. Thanx to Dung Beetle for all his help, support, and pieces of sh*t. Without him, I never would have read this book, and this wouldn't be here. Thanks man.


South Park Pip says it's time to go HOME.
