Plot
This episode begins almost identically to the first episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", with Cartman arriving and talking about a dream where he was abducted by aliens. " Cartman Gets an Anal Probe " the first Episode of Comedy Central 's animated series South Park, originally aired on Eric Theodore Cartman,commonly referred to by his Family name, Cartman, is one of the four main Fictional characters in the animated series Unlike the previous episode, however, Ike Broflovski says more profane statements like "Suck my balls" and "Don't kick the goddamn baby!" When the children realize they're stuck in a "repeat," they and Chef decide to do something about the anal probe Cartman has; they first see a proctologist, then a scientist. Ike Moisha Broflovski (born Peter Ike Gints) is a fictional character on the American animated series South Park. A rerun or repeat is a re-airing of an episode of a Radio or Television broadcast. Jerome "Chef" McElroy was a recurring character on the Comedy Central series South Park. Proctology is a field in medicine dealing with disorders of the Rectum or Anus. Cartman then refuses to activate the satellite unless Kyle is the one who sticks his finger into his ass. Cartman torments Kyle by continually farting, and finally Kyle gets fed up and plugs him. The scientist, called Jeff, discovers that he can reverse the polarity of the message that the alien ship is transmitting by saying one random thing (candy bars) and working his way through Word Association (Candy bars usually come in a wrapper, like wrapping a Christmas present; Christmas comes when it's cold, as in Alaska — that's polar bears, and from there the scientist reaches the word "polarity"). Jeffrey Lynn Goldblum (born October 22, 1952) is an Academy Award -nominated American actor Word Association is a common Word game involving an Exchange of words that are associated together Alaska ( Аляска Alyaska) is a state in the United States of America, in the northwest of the North American continent The polar bear ( Ursus maritimus) is a Bear native to the Arctic Ocean and its surrounding seas Then a group of Visitors show up, and the children and Chef flee in Dukes Of Hazzard form. The Dukes of Hazzard is an American Television series that originally aired on the CBS television network from 1979 to 1985. However, the children are ultimately abducted.
The kids wake up on the ship, and meet Najix, an alien who looks like Stan's dad, explaining to them that he chose an appearance that would be most pleasing to them. Sharon's surname is NOT Kern as in Jimbo Kern it is Boner according to canon episode 616 "My Future Self n' Me" The disappointed children say it's like the movie Contact which "sucked. Contact is a 1997 Science fiction film adapted from the novel by Carl Sagan. " He shows his true form, a terrifying monster, so the children have him go through a series of transformations, mostly of celebrities, until Cartman suggests "a giant taco that craps ice cream". A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention A taco ( is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a Maize or wheat Tortilla folded or rolled around a filling Ice cream or ice-cream (originally iced cream) is a frozen dessert made from Dairy products such as Milk and Cream, combined Najix then explains he and the other aliens make a reality show called Earth, all of Earth's species, such as Asians, bears, ducks, Jews, deer and Hispanics, are taken from seventeen different planets for the purposes of the show, and everyone around the world is unknowningly being filmed and watched, which the scientist discovers at the same time on Earth by translating the binary code that resulted from reversing the polarity of the message (he realised it was binary through more Word Association stemming from "butt sex"); he proceeds to tell everyone, which leads the alien network heads to cancel the show and prepare to destroy the Earth. Reality television is a genre of Television programming which presents purportedly unscripted dramatic or humorous situations documents actual events and usually features ordinary EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 The scientist concludes that the show is cancelled thanks to associating the term "chaos theory" up to "cancelled", then uses his Word Association skills with the word "jackets" to come up with a plan to send the ship a computer virus to disable their computers, but Chef responds, "That doesn't make any Goddamned sense!"
The boys go to Planet Fognl to meet the alien heads, who are "Joozians", a species that control all media in the Universe. Towelie (South Park episode Aliens in The Biggest Douche in the Universe The Universe is defined as everything that Physically Exists: the entirety of Space and Time, all forms of Matter, Energy The aliens don't listen to the boys, but insist on taking them to lunch, a "hekma" (topless) bar, then get a prostitute's hotel room. Prostitution is the act of performing Sexual activity in exchange for Money. The two Joozians then, very drunk and high on "blach", begin sucking on each others' "jagons" and sticking their fingers in each others "thrushers", actions depicted as being highly erotic and, as it seems, inappropriate. Kenny takes a picture of it, and the boys then blackmail the aliens with it. Blackmail is the crime of threatening to reveal substantially true information about a person to the public a family member or associates unless a demand made upon the The Joozians agree to erase everyone's memory of the truth about Earth, then send the oblivious boys back to their own planet. Kenny still has the picture, and though no one can remember what it is, Chef tells Kenny to keep it, as he feels sure that it's something very important. The episode ends with another advertisement for Earth.

- The television program is based on the slotscene of the The Truman Show
References to other South Park episodes
- The idea of the episode is from the episode "Free Hat", in which Trey Parker and Matt Stone poke fun at the idea of remaking the first episode, to see how much things have changed in terms of the animation of the show. The Truman Show is a 1998 fantasy Comedy-drama film directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Niccol. "Free Hat" is episode 88 of South Park. It originally aired on July 10, 2002.
- During Fognl’s television preview for Earth one can hear Trey Parker saying “derp”, a word popularized on the set of BASEketball, in the episodes “The Succubus” and “The Biggest Douche in the Universe. Randolph Severn "Trey" Parker III (born October 19, 1969) is an American Animator, Screenwriter, Film director BASEketball is a 1998 David Zucker comedy Feature film starring South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone " The Succubus " is the 34th episode of Comedy Central 's animated series South Park. "The Biggest Douche in the Universe" is the 15th episode of the 6th season of the Comedy Central Animated series South Park. ”
- The planet Marklar from “Starvin’ Marvin in Space” is mentioned by the Joozians as a source of subjects for their next show, along with the Horsehead Nebula, which is mentioned in “The Biggest Douche in the Universe” because one of the “biggest douche nominees” is from there. " Starvin' Marvin in Space " is episode 44 of Comedy Central 's animated series South Park. The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 in bright nebula IC 434) is a Dark nebula in the Orion constellation. There is also a reference to the Gelgameks who were seen in “Red Hot Catholic Love. "Red Hot Catholic Love" is episode 608 of the Comedy Central series South Park. ”
- When the boys first realize they are in space, Stan comments, "This is only the second time we've ever been in outer space. " This references the episode "Starvin' Marvin in Space", where the boys went to outer space along with Starvin' Marvin. " Starvin' Marvin in Space " is episode 44 of Comedy Central 's animated series South Park. Cartman follows this up with, "This is like my fifth time," referring to his two abductions in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" and possibly the one recounted at the beginning of this episode. " Cartman Gets an Anal Probe " the first Episode of Comedy Central 's animated series South Park, originally aired on
- The first scene is reprised in virtually identical fashion as “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe” until the boys realize they’re stuck in a “repeat. ” There is at least one change, however. In the original episode, when Ike is about to be kicked by Kyle, he says, "Don’t kick the baby. " In Cancelled, he says, "Don’t kick the goddamn baby!. " Also, instead of babbling, Ike says, “Suck my balls. ” Also, the way Kyle hits Cartman with Ike is changed, in "Anal Probe", Kyle spins 360 degrees to hit Cartman. In "Cancelled", he hits him by turning only 90 degrees. Also, in "Cancelled", the boys share a laugh right before Cartman gets hit by Kyle when Cartman calls Ike a long stream of insults, while in "Anal Probe" they laugh after Kenny explains what a dildo is. Cartman then remarks "yeah, that's what Kyle's little brother is all right!", which causes Kyle to hit him.
- Among the several inconsistencies between the episodes "Cancelled" and "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe", in "Cancelled," Kyle remarks that Cartman didn't get much sleep last night. In the first episode, it is Stan that says this. Also, right before Stan realizes that the events are repeating themselves, he says the line, "Visitors are real. They—" However, Stan never said the word "they" in the original scene. If the line after the original was to be believed, Stan would have said in this episode, "They abduct people and mutilate cows. " This line was said by Kyle in the original episode.
The “Joozians”
- The “Joozians” who run the universe’s media are parodies of Jews and the charge that Jews secretly run the media; they are shown with a stereotypically Jewish appearance (such as their very large noses), and also use words that sound like Hebrew and when Kyle (who is Jewish) samples some of their food and likes it the aliens claim that he seems to have “Joozian ancestry” to which Cartman replies, “Tell us about it. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ Anatomically a nose is a protuberance in Vertebrates that houses the Nostrils or nares which admit and expel air for respiration in conjunction with the ” Their symbol is a seven-pointed star reminiscent of the Star of David. The Star of David or Shield of David ( Magen David in Hebrew with nikkud or מגן דוד without academically transcribed Māḡēn Dāwīḏ by
- The “Joozians” state that a show should never go past 100 episodes, because it then starts to contain "ridiculous plot lines and settings. " This is followed by a pause. This is a joke because this is the 100th episode aired, and features a generally absurd plot.
Censorship
- The syndicated version of this episode cuts the part where the Joozians get inebriated and suck on the phallic extensions on their shoulders (“jagons”) during the hotel scene because of the obvious resemblance to fellatio. Fellatio, also called fellation, is Oral sex performed upon the Penis. Also, one of the Joozian’s lines, “I can’t believe I sucked on your jagon,” was cut.
- On Comedy Central, Ike says, “Don't kick the Goddamn baby!” On syndication, he only says, “Don’t kick the damn baby. ”
South Park continuity
- In the Season 11 episode "Imaginationland", a giant taco that craps ice cream can be seen. " Imaginationland " or " Kyle Sucks Cartman's Balls The Trilogy " (as it appears in the episode is episode 1110 (#163 of Comedy Central 's animated This is the same form that Najix takes on in "Cancelled" upon Cartman's request. As Cartman thought this up, it becomes an imaginary character.
