Episode Summary

The boys are at the bus stop and they seem to be reliving events that they went through 6 seasons earlier; that is Kyle "kicking the baby" his little brother Ike and Cartman talking about his strange dream, which the other boys identify as visitors.

What's going on in South Park? Did the boys travel back in time, or is some sinister force at work?moreless

    The boys find themselves repeating events that have already happened and want to find out what is going on. They find out from aliens that Earth, and all life on Earth, is a reality show being watched by Aliens. But, when other people find out about this, Earth is doomed to be canceled (because if people know they are in a reality show it will not be as funny). Can the boys save Earth?

    Decent start to season 7 of South Park. It is not perfect but it was a pretty good premiere I thought. Grade- B. decent opener methinksmoreless

    Cancelled.people found it funny,some found it interesting, so found it stupid and a waste of time,but i found it very special.it is one of those episodes where you say "what an adventure!" bad thing is,the jokes are mild and the episode only stands on action to support this kick off episode to season seven.i found Cancelled an adventure about cartman and the plot is all on cartman.i have to say the first part cartman gets an a probe was slightly better.even thought i found that episode stupid,but it was a lil bit more clever than cancelled.great work thought.especially the professor who says weird things than gets back to a subject !moreless

    I didn't think that this episode of South Park was very good, the main story about how earth and everyone on it is a set up and a television show for aliens from space. I think the story was pretty good because you never know, it may be right. It kind of makes you think. Anyways, the story was good, but it wasn't really executed all that good. It's one of those things that looks good on paper but doesn't come out right once it's all said and done. Although this episode took place when the show was in it's prime, this episode was not one of the best.moreless

    The conspiracy that earth is a set-up reality show by evil producers from an unknown galaxy, and anal probes being TV transmitters. Hysterical. That was a very clever way to get strip clubs, drugs, creepy gay sex, and prostitutes on TV without getting in a lot of trouble. not only clever but funny. I loved this episode it was a great opener and defiantly worth the wait to be able to see on TV. That premise of a repeat at the beginning was funny, and so was the fact that the kids realized that they were in a "repeat"moreless

  • This is one of my favourite South Park episodes. "Cancelled" tries at first to make a remake of the very first "South Park"-episode, but then they twist it, so that it all the whole episode turns out to be revealed that Earth is a reality-show.moreless

    Though the show ends with that no one learns anything (I.E. erased memories), then it is still a cool episode. But what I love most of the episode is the references to all the pop-culture. They make fun of Jeff Goldblums character in "Independence Day" and i think for the 4th time make fun of the Movie "Contact", where they never show the alien, because it takes human form. Also the reference to "The Dukes of Hazzard" is cool.
    But the coolest reference, though not intently, is the reference to the Danish Horror/monster cult-movie "Reptilicus" from 1961. When the big wrecking-ball-spaceships come to smash earth, then they show footage of people running over a bridge. That footage is from Copenhagen. I really enjoyed, when i found out about it. I love when such cult and esoteric pop-culture gets a place in mainstream culture.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The head alien claims that their TV production company was founded "20 billion years ago". This would be more than the age of the Universe, which is only 12 billion years old. Edit
    • In the theme song for all of season 7, Kenny says, "Someday I'll be old enough to stick my … in Britney's butt!" Edit
    • Right before the aliens erase the kid's minds, they tell them to 'keep up the wars'. How are the kids going to remember this, after the aliens erase their memories? Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Kyle: "Whoa Cartman, Looks like you didn't get much sleep last night." - Stan is the one who said this line in the pilot episode, Cartman Gets an Anal Probe. Edit
    • Beginning with episode and continuing for all of the season 7 episodes, during the theme song, Kenny sings: "Someday I'll be old enough to put my d*ck in Britney's butt." Edit
    • The head alien (Nagix) turns into different formations. First, he's Randy Marsh. Second, he's a hideous monster (his true form), then Santa Claus, Michael Jordan, Don King, Mr. Roarke and Tattoo from "Fantasy Island," then George Burns, J.J. Walker of "Good Times," Saddam Hussien, then Missy Elliot, Frank Sinatra, and finally Cartman suggests that he should turn into a taco that craps ice cream. Edit

    • Nagix: Hello boys. Stan: Dad? Nagix: No, not really. I just read your mind and thought this form might be more pleasing to you. Kyle: Oh dude, don't do that, that's gay. Stan: Yeah, that's like that stupid movie Contact. Cartman: Ah, God that movie pissed me off. Edit
    • Kyle: No Ike, you can't go to school! Cartman: (to Ike) Yeah go home you little dildo! Kyle: For the last time! Don't call my brother a dildo! Cartman: Alright, go home you little semen puking asshole dickhead. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Double Allusion: The Dukes of Hazzard and Independence Day The car chase with Chef and the boys eluding the aliens contains elements from both works. First, its a car chase, with country-tinged back up music, a narrator using colorful metaphors, and the aliens at one points use a police car in pursuit, ending up in a chicken coop a la "Dukes." It also has elements of "ID-4" as they are being chased by aliens, successfully eluding them, forcing them to crash and Chef even trash talks the aliens as Will Smith's character does in the film. Edit
    • Reptilicus: The live-action Panic footage seen in this episode, where you see people running over a bridge, is taken from the infamous Danish Cult Monster/horror movie Reptilicus from 1961. Edit
    • Star Ocean: Til The End Of Time: The plot of this episode bears parallel to the Square Enix game "Star Ocean: Til the End of Time." Edit
