    Now before you argue me about \"Fat Butt and Pancake Head\", listen to what I have to say:

    Its a great episode, no question...but its a little overrated. I dont think its the best episode (which it was voted in 2004). Parts of it were funny (such as when Cartman is saying \"Hennifer Hlopez\") and some parts were disturbing (like Ben Affleck in Cartmans bed). It`s a good episode but I was expecting a laughfest...moreless

    In this Episode of South Park, Cartman makes a hand puppet of Jennifer Lopez, which leads to a crazy unbelieveable series of events that makes you wonder what kind of stuff the writers were smoking when they made this one. This episode gets an oddly sucessful pardoy of Jennifer Lopez, but the Ben Afflick pardoy is even better, and the fact that everyone considers Cartman's hand puppet better than Jennifer, is great. My favorite scene is when "Hennifer Klopez" gives Ben a HJ. The parts with Cartman acting like he had absolutly no control over the puppet were great, as were his arguments Kyle up till the end. Overall, this a classic SP episode, up there with the best of the best. 9.5/10moreless

    A personal favorite of mine. The Taco song just cracks me up. I"ve downloaded.
    It starts out simply. Cartman has to give a presentation and creates a hand puppet named Jennifer Lopez to talk about culture. He keeps the puppet at the mall where he records a song that somehow makes it into the hands of record execs. This is when it starts to go off sideways. They replace J-Lo with Cartman's hand. This enrages J-Lo, so she comes to South Park. No its unbeleivable. So does Ben Affleck, who falls in love with Cartman's hand puppet Jennifer Lopez and they have an affair. Basically Ben Affleck is having an affiar with a 10 year olds hand. Now its just crazy. The scene in the car when they are making out is priceless. The kicker is at the end, Cartman makes his hand a completey different person. So off the wall, but so funny. I wonder what Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck think of this episode.moreless

    Cartman is one messed up kid! How messed up is he?! He's so messed up, sometimes when he tries to mess with other people's minds, sometimes even He can lose touch with reality! It becomes so bad, that when Cartman makes Jennifer Lopez a part of him on his hand, the hand puppet ends up possessing Cartman & causes events for the fat boy to go surging out of control! This is of course enraging to the real Jeniffer Lopez who wants to teach her knock-off a lesson, which is extremely hard to do as the knock-off is just a hand puppet! It's nice to see that Cartman actually had to Work to get one of his plans to Sort of succeed for once & it didn't just come naturally! I sure wish that there were more episodes for this show that worked like this! Enough said, true believers! ;)moreless

  • At a Latin Culture week at school, Cartman wins first prize for his hand puppet of Jennifer Lopez. Soon, the hand puppet has a mind of its own, recording a music video that attracts the attention of a record label and infuriates the real JLO.moreless

    In one of those episodes where you wonder what the writers were smoking, Cartman's hand puppet of JLO becomes a bigger star than Jennifer Lopez herself. Ben Affleck falls in love with the new JLO, and Kyle wants Cartman to end this charade, although Cartman claims the hand puppet is not controlled by him. Jennifer Lopez gets kicked off her record label due to the hand puppet JLO getting signed. However, Cartman shocks JLO and breaks Ben's heart when he reveals JLO was just con man "Mitch Connor". An extremely weird episode that could have been a one joke affair, like the recent "Cartman Sucks" episode, is instead a non stop laugh riot. One of my favorite shows in the entire series.moreless

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The In-Laws: Cartman's Jennifer Lopez hand puppet is an idea taken from the comic film the In-Laws, which features a character played by Richard Libertini named General Garcia who also has a Hispanic woman's mouth and eyes painted on his hand that he treats as if a real person. The exact voice of the Lopez hand puppet and turns of phrase, as well many of the specific antics are lifted directly from The In-Laws and Libertini's performance. Edit
    • Tootsie: The revelation that Ms. Lopez is in fact Mitch Connor seems to be an homage to the film Tootsie, where Dustin Hoffman reveals that he has been working in drag as Dorothy Michaels and that he is in fact a man, as the manner in which the remove their wig and change tone and demeanor mirror each other. Edit
    • 2010: The last spoken ventriloquist line of Cartman's hand ("I wonder, will I dream?") was in homage to the movie 2010: The Year We Make Contact, where the two computers HAL-9000 and SAL-9000 pose the same question when facing shutdown. Edit
