    Cartman throws a rock at Token for being mean to him and instead of getting a simply detention Cartman is send to jail for committing a hate crime. Stan and Kyle try to get him out of jail because they need him for a sled race they were going to have. Can they convince the jury to let him out?

    Good episode. It got a little boring but never too boring and it was overall a nice episode. I took a debate class and we debated about hate crimes, we should've watched this episode! Overall my final grade for this episode is going to fall in the "B" rangemoreless

    The girls challenge the boys to a sledding contest at Phil Collin's hill. It is mainly Cartman who does all the work. After Token reminds Cartman about his fat self again, Cartman throws a rock at him and gets sentenced for prison for a hate crime. His roommate, Romper Stomper, says that he can get him out of prison. Clyde is now the new fat kid. After they do a test run, Kenny gets killed and they realized they need to free Cartman. Kyle, Stan, and Token give the mayor a presentation on hate crime laws. Cartman and Romper Stomper escapes, and captured. Cartman gets pardoned by the government. At Phil Collin's hill, Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Token beat the girls. At the end, Pip says "Hooray for Cartman's fat a**!" and he has a rock thrown at him. Overall, I give this episode a 9.7.moreless

    Okay, so Cartman get's angry at Token (the school's only bla-, I mean African-American, student) for constantly calling him fat, so he throws a rock at Token and hits him in the head. The FBI gets word of this and storms into the school to arrest Cartman under the "hate crime" laws. This poses a problem for the boys as they get into a bet with the girls (just before Cartman's arrest) as to who can sled faster down "Phil Collins Hill"... what's the problem? Cartman's fata$$ was the reason they were fast on the sled, and now he's in jail. While in jail, Cartman meets a character by the name of "Romper Stomper" (a nice throwback to the Australian film about a skinhead group) who promises to help him break out of jail as long as he agrees to sneak in cigarettes. A hilarious scene takes place when the boys visit Cartman in jail and give him the cigs and he then has to sneak them past the guards by sticking them up his a$$, one at a time ("Boy, I wish I hadn't just sat here and watched that just now")... FUNNY! Anyway, so to get Cartman out of jail the boys go to Token to ask him to tell the judge that he forgives Cartman. Well, while at Token's home the boys get educated by his father (he also happens to have a problem with the Hate Crime laws) about the hate crime laws and they then go to the Mayor to get the court's ruling overturned by giving her a little presentation, "Hate Crime Laws: A Savage Hypocrisy". I thought this was a hilarious episode that has some replay value... hearing Cartman trying to crap out the things he's hidden in his a$$... priceless! Loved it!moreless

    Though racism is not tolerated now and then in everyday life, in TV & Film it is usually uncensored and goes by unnoticed. I think that black/coloured people can be sensitive and even people of Caucasian can be too.
    This episode proves that sometimes the Goverment and other people can just go way too far when it comes to racism. Cartman lobs something at Token (or something like that) and gets done for " Hate Crime " which is kind of lame.
    I like the part with the sled race at the end though. That was good. ;D Memorable, but not so great.moreless

    This episode teamed with the last episode makes for the best 1-2 punch in South Park history. Cartman throws a rock at Token (not out of racism) but everyone seems to think that it is. Cartman gets sent to Juvenile Hall because token is black and therefore Cartman has committed a hate-crime. Whle there, he meets the jail-hardened romper stomper, who agrees to help him bust out of prison so he can see disney land. Cartman gets out but Romper Stomper isn't so lucky. A great episode that is easily a classic and is nearly loved by every fan of SP.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The age of criminal responsibility for federal crimes in the United States is 10 years old. Cartman is 8 years of age in the cartoon, making him excused for criminal liability. However, this doesn't prevent the school from taking action since Cartman did cause harm to another student, in this case Token. Edit
    • Two Clydes are seen at the last scene before the race. Edit
    • The reporter refers to Cartman as a "hate crime suspect." His trial was already over though, so that would make him a convict and not a suspect. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • According to the DVD commentaries. They were afraid to use any direct references to the name Disney since the Walt Disney Corp is very protective of their trademarks. Edit
    • When Kenny is asking Cartman what he's done that means Kenny needs to help him, he says the word f**k so clearly it was bleeped in some syndicated airings. Edit
    • This is the fourth time Cartman's name is mentioned in the title. Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Romper Stomper: There's two kinds of kids, kids who like Animaniacs and kids who don't like Animaniacs, so which one are you? Cartman: Well, personally, I ...don't like Animaniacs? Romper Stomper: Neither do we! Edit
    • Kyle: We won again! Token: That's not fair! Cartman's ass is so fat, he makes your sled go faster! Cartman: Hey! Don't call me fat, Token! Edit
    • Police Officer: Crazy son of a bitch! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Romper Stomper: The name of Cartman's cell mate, Romper Stomper, is a reference to the 1992 Australian film Romper Stomper, which is also about hate crimes. Edit
    • Les Misérables: Cartman's number in prison was 24601, the same numeral that Jean Val Jean had in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. Edit
    • Cry-Baby: The tattoo of a tear on Romper Stomper's face is from the 1990 film Cry-Baby, starring Johnny Depp, where the main character can only cry out of one eye. In the movie he goes to jail and gets a "lonely tear" tattooed to his face. Edit
