    "Abysmal"
    By pika1999, May 12, 2011 Report Abuse
    The episode is basically about the "poor people" (White), against the "rich people" (Black), the town see more of the "richers" moving and use KKK style methods to try and freak them out (Burning "lowercase t's", making them sit at the front of a bus (Blacks were forced to sit in the back at one point), dressing like "ghosts" to scare them). Token, in the middle can't fit in with blacks or whites, oops! I meant rich or poor. The rich do things blacks did for the fight to be equal (Millionaire march, having petitions). Hell they practicly admit it mrrored it when Garrison almost says the N-word but is cut of by credits. It was bad bacause it was racist, it was also very stupid and unfunny.moreless

    This episode was like a person with bipolar disease (Oh, that's right, I went there), it had severe highs, but also severe lows. I thought the KKK references were absolutely hilarious, especially in the bar when Mr. Garrison asked the other men, "What are rich people afraid of the most..?" Jimbo comes back with a very predictable, in a funny way answer of "...ghosts?" and you just knew what the ghosts would look like. I thought the lions were pretty funny, but all the rich people's children were incredibly annoying and I'm glad I don't have anything to do with people like that.moreless

    In this episode "Ritchers" move to South Park because of an ad Token made. and the "Poor People" try to make them move out because that they don't like it. I loved the "Lowercase t" and ghost jokes, and how stupid those Lions are, and how pok kids play "I'm gonna kick you in the nuts"! Funny episode.

  • Token is being made fun of for being rich, so he has rich people (who happen to be African-Americans) to come into South Park.

    I liked this episode a lot. It seemed that no one had seen any racial differences, until the end, which was the funny part. Although, I think the only person who did see many racial differences was Mr. Garrison. It was amusing when Token went with the joke telling lions. I also liked the part where the rich people offer money to have Chef walk with them for 100 bucks. That is the major part of the change between it being a walk about rich discrimination to a walk about color discrimination. The best or perhaps only insidemoreless

    • Stan says that everyone rips on Kyle for being Jewish but only Cartman does. Edit
    • Cartman is always critizing Kenny for being "poor." Yet, he is seen going into the welfare office with his mother. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • This is the only episode to be centered around Token. Edit
    • This episode marks Ned's last speaking appearance. He still appears in crowds and with Jimbo though. Edit
    • Originally, Trey and Matt were gonna make the ending, with the "Ni....," a cliffhanger to the next episode, in which he'd just be like "GERRR!" at a random point in time. Edit

    • Token: (singing) Why can't I be like all the other kids, they all have three bedroom homes, and broken trucks on their lawns, and cut up hotdogs for lunch. It's not my fault my parents succeed so much. There's no one in town I can relate to, I play with autographed baseball bats while everyone else just plays with sticks and pinecones. Has a boy ever felt so alone. Well who needs them anyway, I won't pretend I'm something I'm not. If I can't be poor, I've got to deal with what i've got. If I can't be like them, what I need is more rich kids around, so I'm not the only one and then I won't be so down. Please God... send more rich kids... to my town. Edit
    • Mr. Garrison: (to Mrs. Jane Smith) Yeah, that's right cash tucker! Have fun with your two-million dollar house! Edit
    • Mr. Garrison: Now we can sell all their homes and become millionares. Guys: WHAT?!?!?!?! Jimbo: But then you had us all do all that for nothing, don't you see if you get rich selling these homes then there'd still be rich people in South Park. Randy Marsh: Yeah, you'll become what you hate. Mr. Garrison:........Yeah but at least I got rid of all those damn ni[South Park ending theme] Edit

    • Cherry Creek: At J-mart, Mrs. Brovlovski mentions that Token's parents can afford to shop at Cherry Creek.  Cherry Creek is the name of an upscale shopping mall in Denver. Edit
    • There Goes The Neighborhood: The title is a reference to the phrase, "There Goes the Neighborhood," which is used when a person of a new ethnic group moves into a neighborhood and the racist neighbors are restless. Edit
    • Men In Black: Behind Will Smith when he tells his kids about South Park, a wall is shown with a movie poster readin "Men In Dark Suits". It's a parody title to the 1997 movie Men in Black, the movie Will Smith starred in. Edit
