    "Abysmal"
    This does not belong in Southpark. Cartman is not is foul mouthed racist self. This would have been a great addition to other shows, but it does not fit in with Southpark at all. The only funny part was when Cartman said "Just cook me some pizza, b*tch." I'm really glad most Southpark Episodes arn't like this.

  • I mostly really enjoyed this episode, mostly.

    8.4
    "Great"
    This episode starts a chain of having an ongoing storyline throughout three episodes and while the idea in itself is fairly good, they definitely could have started a lot better. Not saying I think this episode is bad though, I actually quite enjoyed it. Cartman playing Wild Wild West with Artemus Clyde Frog was pretty funny and you have to laugh at the fact that a 12 year old girl somehow managed to get into a serious relationship with a 22 year old. One of my favourite parts of the episode was Skyler's new song, It's so bad that it's funny.moreless

  • Cat Orgy

    8.0
    "Great"
    When the plot is fixed on one special place or one house then the dialogue starts to get interesting. Shelley is babysitting the fat toad Eric Cartman when after a while - a bunch of cats come into the whole house for a large cat orgy.
    Though sick, the entertainment really pushes the plot to an extent that makes you want to up the rating a bit but I am leaving the rating at 8.
    If you watch the Best Friends Forever episode, the whole episode is based around Kenny - Butters Very Own Episode is based on Butters and so on. Cat Orgy is Shelley... In my opinion.
    ;D Great, entertaining episode.moreless

  • Eric Cartman has always been intriguing as a character for many reasons. It becomes clear in this episode that one of those reasons is the fact that he is an only child.moreless

    Eric Cartman has always been intriguing as a character for many reasons. It becomes clear in this episode that one of those reasons is the fact that he is an only child. This episode is especially great for Eric Cartman's character development because it shows what he is like by himself. Yes, he is a manipulative jerk regularly, but it's nice to see a side of him that's playful, innocent, and almost charming. The games that he plays with his Wild Wild West characters are interesting and hilarious, and his theme song is great, as well. Yes, this episode is worth it just to see the scenes with Cartman by himself.moreless

    In this episode Cartman is baby sat by Stans brother Shelly [The *****], and she tortures him and has her 22 year old boyfriend Skyler [from Lords of the Underworld] over, also there is a big cat orgy in the end, and it makes fun of Will Smiths crappy "Wild Wild West" movie. Funny episode.

    • This is one of the few episodes before season 5 where Kenny doesn't die; however seeing as this takes place at the same time as "Jewbilee", where Kenny sacrifices himself to free Moses, he dies off screen. Edit
    • This is one of the very few times Cartman does anything nice out of sympathy and doesnt end up completely ruining it at the end. Edit

    • Lianne: Thank you so much for babysitting little Eric, Shelley. Shelley:(shrugs)Okay. Lianne: All those other babysitters wouldn't come back. Edit
    • Lianne: Oh, that sounds fine. I'm going to a meteor shower party. The number where I'll be is on the refrigerator. Eric's nookie time is 9 o'clock sharp. If his little woogums get cold, you can turn up the heat over here. And if he gets cranky, just play tummy-rub-rubs with him, and make sure he wipes good after he makes bears. Edit
    • Cartman: (approaches Shelley) Well, go put that pizza in the oven, b*tch! I'm hungry! (she punches him into the wall) Ow! Shelley: Alright, turd, listen up! Now that your mom is gone, I'm in charge. I don't know how you treat your other babysitters, but when I'm babysitting, you're nothing but a little turd. You're a stinky dried-up stupid turd! Got it?! Cartman: You can't hit me! Didn't you see those nanny videos on TV? (she punches him, sending him into the wall again) Shelley: My boyfriend is coming over, so you go to the kitchen, and you make us that pizza before I snap you in half like the little turd-stick you are!
