    Jimmy keeps having erections at school and is worried about performing in the school's talent show because of it. He goes on a journey to try and 'get laid', but will he be able to before the talent show?

    The first half was pretty good but when Jimmy tried to get the ho back it got kind of boring. The first half had a lot of laughs from me- Butters was funny, Cartman was, Officer Barbrady (particularly his "wait" line) the last half didn't really make me laugh, apart from the ending. But overall I did enjoy most of the episode, so my final grade is in the "B" range. Not awesome but not terriblemoreless

    what is this ? a whole episode of jimmy and his ere*tions ! i mean no character development,just jimmy,whom they use to many these days.and what happened to barbrady s voice ? a bad bad episode for the last episode of the first half of season nine. but there was some funny and crude jokes.like the stupidity of jimmy asking to put his thing up his date s thing.that was an instant classic.overall,bad try,they could have improved this episode heaps.i hope when you see this episode,you can see their big mistake with their character development and a dumb plot.this episode has its moments ,but more downers.good side 45%.bad side 49%,6% just plain stupid.a little,itsy,bisty,minutey,smally,recommended.moreless

    What can I say about this episode? It wasn't any good, it wasn't funny. The whole story was awful and is in my opnion one of the worst episodes of South Park ever. I'm serious when I say this two, I've seen a lot of South Park episodes and this one has got to be close to being the worse and I think that it possibly is. I will say that there was one funny part, and that was when Butters was up on stage to do his act for the talent show. Overall, I would not recommend that anyone see this episode, it was that bad.moreless

    • This is one of the few later episodes where Officer Barbrady plays a role. Edit
    • If you listen, Officer Barbrady's voice in this episode sounds way different than it did in all other episodes. Edit
    • It would seem kind of unusual that Butters would have to tell Jimmy what to do with his erection, since Jimmy seemed to know perfectly well what to do back in the opening scene Ep 616 "My Future Self 'n Me"==> Jimmy: Well, I did Ecstacy once. Me and my girlfriend took it and we stayed up all night having... sex. Kyle: ...Where did you have sex with her? Jimmy: In her... va-vagina. Response: That shows that Jimmy lied about having sex with his girlfriend, since his answer didn't make sense. But in this episode, he seems to be is deep trouble, so it would only be rational to go around and ask anybody, even butters, about his erection problems. Edit

    • Waiter: Welcome to Book e de f*gge chini. Can I take your order please? Oh, Mr. Valmer, back again I see. Jimmy: (Whispers) Shut up jackass. I don't want her to know I was here with another girl. Edit
    • Butters: (Singing) Loo-Loo- (stops singing) -loo- Oh no! (Wets his pants and runs off) Mrs. Garrison: Very good Butters! Short and sweet. Edit
    • Nut Gobbler: I can't believe you chased me all this way. You, you really care about me. Jimmy: Not really. You're just a hooker, and I need to get laid. The talent show could be over any minute. Nut Gobbler: That's good enough for me. Edit

    • Buca Di Beppo: The restaurant Buca De Fettucini refers to the chain Buca Di Beppo of which there are four in Colorado. Edit
    • Election Day: The episode title is obviously a play on Election Day. Edit
    • Cyrano De Bergerac: Cartman's coaching Jimmy through his date at the Italian restaurant is a literary device first seen in the balcony scene in "Cyrano De Bergerac," where Cyrano puts words in the mouth of the handsome but dim Christian as he woos Roxanne. This device was also seen in the eponymous 1987 Steve Martin film Roxanne, as well as an episode of "Will and Grace," where Will uses a headset to coach Jack and numerous other sitcoms. Edit
