    Cartman suffers a severe blow to the head after a nearly fatal fall in "Cartman's Incredible Gift." After sustaining a severe head injury, Cartman appears to have the power to see into the future. South Park detectives are quick to enlist his help in cracking unsolved murder cases and Cartman is more than willing to help, for a price. In the meantime, a group of "licensed" psychics cry foul when Cartman refuses to join their ranks. It was funny and serious. More episodes liek this. More! I have it on my ipod and i watch it all the time. Awsome never gets old.moreless

    This South Park episode from the 8th season is a great episode of South Park because I thank it is very funny when they ask Cartman who killed the person and then Cartman said all of the foods that come to his mind so the cops get the man who has the ice cream place.If you like the episode called Up The Down Steroid/the episode about Jimmy training for a sporting event,so then Jimmy takes the drugs that make you stronger so that he will win the sporting event.Anyway if you like that episode you will like this episode because it thay have about the same amout of jokes. I give Cartmans Incredible Gift a A+.moreless

    In this episode Cartman falls off a roof trying to fly and thinks he has Psychic powers, and the inept cops that make the Reno 911 Sherifs look like Andy from "The Andy Griffith Show", also there is an insane murder out there who cuts off peoples left hands and Cartman keeps catching the worng people. Kyle knows who it is and has to put himself into a Coma to make the cops beleive him, because they are idiots. And it still takes them a long time to do it, because they got the hands wrong, so it was solved with good old fashioned detective work, and Kyle breaks a light with his mind.moreless

    There are so many brilliant ideas in this episode, the cop from The Jeffersons coming back in a very funny way, believing Cartman has psychic abilities because he jumped off a roof and guessed that his keys were in his pocket.

    The fact that Cartman thought he could fly was also very funny as was the cops not wanting to hear about Stan's evidence which was wasting their time.

    If you don't like the rest of the episode, there is one scene that would make all fans laugh - one in which there is a montage of the guy finding out that the right hand could possibly be a left hand (though he loses track after a while and starts playing volleyball and stuff).

    Overall, a classic Cartman plot and the incompetent cops just make it even funnier.moreless

    Another great installment in the south park series, yet another great season 8 episode. Cartman tries to fly, another genius idea from cartman, and gets into an injury that gives him a concussion, after which people assume cartman has psychic powers. The police then ensue his powers to help them solve some crimes. The episode did go down for a bit in the middle, but sparked up again when the serial killer was introduced, and pays homage to many classic serial killers, like buffalo bill from Silence of the lambs. Overall a very solid episode, i thoroughly enjoyed.moreless

    • Cartman: Where am I? Dr. Doctor: You're at the hospital Eric, you've been in a coma for some time. Cartman: Coma? How long? Dr. Doctor: It's been two days. Nurse, you can remove his face warmer now. Nurse: Yes doctor. (Nurse removes fake beard from Cartman's face) Dr. Doctor: Now Eric, you've sufferred massive head trauma. Your road to recovery will be long and ardous...At least another two days. Edit
    • Mrs. Cartman: Whats wrong with him!?! Dr. Doctor: I'm afraid that your son is...incredibly stupid. He thought he could fly with cardboard wings. The stupidity is so severe that it caused a fall which has put him into a deep coma. Edit
    • (about Mrs. Crabtree's death) Detective: I have to figure out who did this crime! I owe it to that victim over there! I know she hadn't been in any recent episodes, but damnit she deserves better than this! Edit

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • CSI: The montage where the policeman researches the "left hand problem" is a reference to the TV show "CSI", which makes frequent uses of such montages. The South Park spoof also has techno music playing in the background, just like on CSI. Edit
    • Wright Brothers: Orville and Redenbacher is a parody of the Wright Brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright, as well as a plan on Orville Redenbacher, the popcorn magnate. Edit
    • Scanners: The psychic battles are from the film "Scanners", famous for its head explosion. It is also worth noting both "Scanners" and "The Dead Zone" are directed by David Cronenberg. Edit
