Without giving too much away, we’ll say that last night’s episode of True Blood featured a few of our favorite characters embarking upon one of the craziest drug trips we’ve ever seen on TV. Once we got over all the bright colors and freaky visuals, we started thinking about all the other epic chemical-induced sequences we’ve seen on the small screen over the years. After the jump, we present our 10 favorites for your viewing pleasure. Let us know what we missed in the comments.
Six Feet Under
Drug of choice: Ecstasy
On True Blood creator Alan Ball’s wonderful Six Feet Under, the Fisher children are always getting high on something or another. But the trippiest trip of all happens when mom Ruth mistakenly takes the ecstasy David hid in an aspirin bottle during a camping trip with boyfriend Hiram. Like a middle-aged Alice in Wonderland, she chases a giant stuffed bear who leads her to an encounter with her dead husband.

Why cheesing? Because it’s FON-TO-DUE!
Oh yeah, and this one is priceless too: http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/103828
My gay cat used to spray a potent combination of hydrochloric acid, military strength rust remover, and very concentrated Coke Classic. He would aim it at my temples. The slightest whiff would launch me into a psychedelic voyage of intense blood vomiting and haiku writing.
This is the single most exciting thing all day
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia — take your pick. But Frank tripping on LSD thinking he’s trapped in the McPoyle’s RV bathroom while Charlie first dons the Green Man get-up is epic drug enduced comedy. Also, Charlie creating the Day Man/Night Man saga after huffing spray paint, then starting a band with Dennis under the same influence was fantastic.
It’s worth mentioning that Homer’s spirit guide on his Insanity-Pepper-fueled trip was a coyote voiced by Johnny Cash
1000 Ways to Die story “Succu-offed.” Two stoners steal a protected saguaro cactus and celebrate by drinking a mixture of mescal and peyote. They get so tripped out the giant saguaro starts talking them: “You have disturbed the cactus universe!” They run screaming through their cactus garden and each winds up impaled on cactus spears.
there’s a show in the UK called Brass Eye that dedicates a whole episode to a “made-up drug” called Cake. run it through the search engine. watta trip.
worth noting that the South Park trip was a particularly amazing homage to Heavy Metal: the Motion Picture. The car entering the atmosphere is the intro sequence, the girl is Taarna (who gets naked every chance she gets, which was pretty major back in 1981, and the source of the breasts-everywhere references), and most especially, that unmistakable Heavy Metal magazine animation style.

Wow, can’t complain with the #1 choice, and Homer’s pepper trip is here too. Kudos!
Teens on hard drugs? Hardly most teens in the UK have at least tried weed, and the use of ecstasy is dropping off. Due to the lowering of MDMA content and an over-saturated market driving the price down making the profitability of pills inconsequential.
i hate when they record sound (speech) and you can clearly hear that darn smacking in actors mouth.
It’s like listening to something and having knives stabbed in your ears from time to time
