    Cartman pretends to be a robot called Awesom-O, because he wants Butters to reveal secrets to him, so he can make fun of him. However, this plan might not be the best when Butters reveals he has an embarrassing tape of Cartman, and he plans on showing it to people if Cartman does one more mean thing to him. Now, Cartman must keep up the charade to try and find that tape. Will he?

    Good episode. Cartman as a robot was funny, and so was the ending. No real complaints, probably up there as one of my favorite episodes of the series, and so because of all of this my final grade is an A+moreless

    In this episode, Cartman once again tries to mess with Butters, this time by dressing up as a robot from Japan (it's just a bunch of cardboard boxes, people.) Butters actually believes Cartman is the robot "AWESOM-O" and unintentionally gets his revenge on Eric Cartman. It's pretty amazing how much Cartman will do for a joke on Butters. I mean, by the time they go LA to see Butters aunt, he was skinny and eating Toothpaste. And then, of course, how stupid the authorites were (Mr. Scientist, the movie executive) Overall, another one of my all-time favorites I'd reccomend. 10/10 A+moreless

  • Um, okay. How about this? Adam Sandler is like, in love with some girl, but then it turns out that the girl is actually a golden retriever, or something. A classic South Park episodemoreless

    This is definetly one of the great South Park episodes no matter who you are and it's one of my personal favourites probably top 5.

    It all starts when Butters get a special delivery from Japan "Konichiwa"

    "It's not my birthday till September 11" & "Ive always wanted to have a big package" are a few of the opening lines and i think when I heard these I knew this was going to be a special episode

    Inside the box is the AWESOM-O 4000 aka Cartman dressed up in a robot costume made of boxes. Cartman is trying to get one over on Butters tricking him into believing he was a robot but Cartman has to keep the gig up when he realises if Butters finds out what he Cartman up to then he will release a video of Cartman dressed up as Britney Spears making out with a life size cut out Justin Timberlake.

    Butters takes his new robot friend to California where AWESOM-O is discovered by a couple movie studio executives who harness his talents to come up with movie ideas.

    The trouble is all of AWESOM-O's ideas feature Adam Sandler
    "Um, okay. How about this? Adam Sandler is like, in love with some girl, but then it turns out that the girl is actually a golden retriever, or something."

    Things get really wierd when one of the movie executives ask's if he is infact a pleasure model.

    The Military eventually gets hold of him in the hope of using him as a weapon. Eventually a stray fart leads the Military and Butters the find out the truth about AWESOM-O.

    The episode ends with everyone enjoying a screening of the movie Butters made featuring Cartman as Britney.

    Hands down one of the best episodes. It's got killer jokes all the way through it and doesnt get all complex with issues like south park often does. Matt & Trey just keep it simple and it pays off big time with this one.

    10/10moreless

  • Until SSWVP, this episode utterly ruined Butters' character.

    "Abysmal"
    By SSJAniFan, Jun 02, 2010 Report Abuse
    Butters is always the slightly clueless underdog because that's what makes us root for him, whether it was his numerous near-death experiences in Butters' Very Own Episode or his being mistaken for a stray dog in the season primere. With him now causing Cartman all the grief, he only becomes annoying. The only thing that could have made this episode worse was if Butters was actually knew it was Cartman disguised as AWESOME-O the entire time, though thankfully that didn't happen, which keeps this disaster from reaching the level of Wing or Christmas Classics.

    Personally, after this episode I'm surprised Cartman never pulled another Scott Tenorman on the little blonde kid. After all, Scott put Cartman through far less and humiliated him on a far smaller scale and we all know what happened there. It's amazing Butters is still breathing to this day.moreless

It'll be so much easier havin' you do it from now on. AWESOM-O: Um. Actually, AWESOM-O was not programmed for that function. Butters: Haw, it's real easy. I'll show you. You just take this little thingy out of the plastic paper, and… and I'll, I'll pull down my pants …and just slide it up in my anus there. (pulls down his pants) AWESOM-O: … No way. AWESOM-O: Lame!

AWESOM-O: Lame! Edit
    • Butters: What Cartman doesn't know is that I have one of his secrets. AWESOM-O: …What? Butters: When Cartman is playing all alone in his backyard, he likes to dress up like Brittany Spears and pretend he's her! He sings and dances around with a life size cut-out of Justin Timberlake! AWESOM-O: …You saw that? Butters: Yea. And I video-taped him doing it! AWESOM-O: …Nuh-uh. Butters: I've got the whole thing on tape, even him making out with the Justin Timberlake cut-out!

AWESOM-O: Uh, Butters, maybe you should give AWESOM-O the videotape? Butters: How come? AWESOM-O: Well, because… AWESOM-O can, like, back it up for you, and make copies and stuff. I am AWESOM-O. Butters: Oh, that's all right, AWESOM-O. Come on! I have a lot of things to teach you. AWESOM-O: … Oh, son of a bitch! Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Blade Runner: General: Sure, why not? Program the memories of some eight-year-old boy who doesn't exist, and make the robot think he's real! This refers to Blade Runner, in which Harrison Ford hunts androids, one of which was implanted with the false memories of an 8 year old girl. Edit
    • The Courtship of Eddie's Father: The song Butters is singing is more of a satire of the theme song to the 70's t.v. show "The Courtship of Eddie's Father". The theme song was titled: "People Let Me Tell You About My Best Friend". Edit
    • Castaway: Cartman: Maybe idea number 2,305: Adam Sandler is trapped on an island and falls in love with a coconut. That plot sounds very similar to the movie Castaway, starring Tom Hanks, where Tom is trapped on an island, and he begins talking to a volleyball like it's a real person. Edit
