Sure, Cartman talks the talk—but can he walk the walk? The “big-boned” tyke does hard time in juvie this week on South Park. In a typically sensitive episode, Eric Cartman hucks a rock at Token, South Park Elementary’s only minority student. Before you can say “beyotch,” the incident snowballs into a hate-crime case of national proportions and lands young Eric in the stony lonesome. Once inside, he befriends his cellmate Romper Stomper, a steel-hard street thug who misses his mommy. And you’ll never guess, but the prison sex jokes fly fast and furious. Yes, it’s silly, but anything’s better than that horrible “Underwear Gnomes” episode in the second season. Just watch it, or everybody at work will think you’re weird.
