So who felt bad for Cartman?

I know it's a cartoon, so shut the fuck up with a clever response of that nature.

However, as far as I can remember, the only emotion SP has drawn from me since being on their air is humor. Last night, after Wendy and Cartman part ways and Cartman is saddened by her sudden lack of interest in him, I felt a real kinship and thus sadness along with Cartman. Probably because I was in a VERY similar situation when I wasn't much older than him.

Anyone else feel that way?

Yeah man, really. That was the first time I ever saw the last scene of a SP episode and said (out loud) "man that's sad". And then to make it worse, they did not put a funny song at the end, just the rinky dinky credits theme. Boy that was sad. Jay WTBF

Yeah, I thought that ending was great, the way it left it up to the viewer to fill in the gap. Much of South Park's antics center on the fact that an 8-year-old's universe is typically no longer than their arm's reach. It was nice to see one of the characters expanding just a bit, expressing what you really do feel when your little 8-year-old heart is crushed.

Cartman seemed very human and likable in last weeks episode, I'm not surprised Wendy found an interest in him. He was rational, smart and his statement about WW2 made alot of sense

The character is growing (pardon the pun) and has a bit more depth to him.

Well done, Matt and Trey.

I think you are on to something here.... Remember the NAMBLA episode was all about Cartman feeling like he was too mature for the other guys. Maybe now he is starting to show it. Maybe, just maybe, Cartman will begin puberty this season. That would be hilarious!!! And it really isn't infeasible, I mean his mom is a hermaphrodite and all, you can bet his genes are all fucked up. So and "8 year old" (if that is the age they are still using for themselves) could get a hard on, a stiffy, or a woody!!! And of course, he would have to tell ALL his friends about it. Or even have an episode where his mom, Mr. Garrison and Chef take turns trying to explain it to him.

Agree! It'd be the perfect envelope-pusher It's a theme that hasn't been broached yet, unless you count Stan and the hormone pills, and it would make the fundies scream bloody murder, which is always a good sign....

If Matt & Trey don't do it, some fanfic writer should!

Maybe

Well, he _was_ the first one who had his period...

It was weird to see such a dramatic ending,,this ep (and maybe cat orgy) should be shown to anyone who thinks SP is nothing more than 8 yr olds telling dirty jokes and gross out humor.

I fell asleep Wednesday night so I see it tonight for the first time.

Is it true that she dumped him because fat dudes have small wieners?

No, she was conflicted about liking him to begin with, and was getting very distracted. Bebe told her to kiss him and get over with, so she did. Pretty much it.

I most certainly do!! I can totally relate to Cartman. I, too, have been through several extremely similar situations through the years (gah, that just made me sound like I'm 100 yrs. old!). He was very identifiable in that episode.

Personally, I was always able to identify with him, but that's just me. <g> Everyone just considers him the 'stupid fat kid' but there's really more to him than that--that's basically a front. Kids often put up a front like that to hide intelligence or things about their true self that they feel other kids would laugh about..more ridicule comes from displaying intelligence than displaying stupidity, surprisingly. I'm not quite sure WHY, but that's how it seems to me. (Help us all, I'm taking psychology courses next year and I'll probably have more to talk forever about then ;P)

Ah, well, I'm shutting up for now. ;P

I certainly do not. I caught the ep for the first time last night, and had read this thread beforehand, so I was looking for it to end on a certain note. But when I saw Fat Boy gloating at a distraught Stan, continuously, I was happy he was going to get his come-uppance. That Wendy was temporarily enamoured with his fat lard ass was of secondary importance to his being able to gloat at Stan. Fuck the fat asshole. "No no no no no, no no no no no!"
