    Jared, of Subway fame, comes to South Park, and everyone is thrilled. That is, they are until they learn the reason he lost all the weight he lost- Aides (which his jokingly misinterpreted as 'aids' several times in the episode). Stan, Kyle and Cartman try to copy what Jared did by having Butters gain a lot of weight and then saying he lost it at the City Wok restaurant.

    Good episode. It got kind of really repetitive but it is also pretty good. The town's misconception as to the kind of 'aid' Jared means is funny even if it does get a bit run into the ground. B+ or so as my final grademoreless

  • Watch a Subway commercial then watch this episode and tell me that Jared looks funny as a South Park charater.

    After a prank phone call with Mr. Lu Kim at City Wok (or "Chitty Wok"), Eric, Stan, Kyle, and Butters see a commercial of Jared Fogle from Subway coming to South Park. Jared has inspired the folks at South Park to lose weight by eating Subway sandwiches. After seeing Jared backstage, the boys find out that it wasn't just eating sandwiches to help lose weight but it was exercise, a special way to treat condiments in a sandwich, and "aids"...oh, sorry, aides. So the Eric, Stan, and Kyle decide to have Butters get fat so they can do commercials for City Wok. Meanwhile after a dinner with his girlfriend, she finds out that he has aides (or "aids") and dumps him. Then tells the town about his aides and the town reacts the same way too. Then gets fired from Subway and he feels more miserable than before. Then suggests to give "aides for everyone" which lead to a bad riot!

    Back to the boys, they try to get Butters to eat City Wok food and exercise but doesn't work so they do a self-liposuction operation and get him in trouble by his parents. Then later on, Kyle and Stan take Butters to City Wok to hopefully do some commercials while Eric covers for Butters. Butters' parents call and Eric disguises his voice and throws some profanity that made him more in trouble. Back to the riot, Jared is being chased and hanged. The boys, minus Eric, find out about Jared talking about "aids" and try to solve it. After Stan told him it wasn't aids but rather aides, the town and Jared feel unaware about what has happened. Then realize that it's been 22.3 years since then aids can be funny (22.3 years is how long it takes for a tragedy to become funny). So aids can be funny and everyone is relieved. So then Mr. Lu Kim decides to do commercials for the boys so they can make their $15. What a ripoff since City Wok isn't a Subway. So much for that

    Lastly, Butters forgets that he's in trouble so he rushes home and finds Eric at the front door. Thankfully, he's okay and covered. Then Eric leaves and watches from the front door to see Butters' parents so upset about the fowl language he spoke on their phone and punish Butters more

    Favorite quote:
    Butters: "But you don't sound like me."
    Eric: "But you don't sound like me. My name is Butters and I'm a little (p-word) who won't help his friends make money."
    Kyle: "Wow, that was pretty good."moreless

    The boys decide to fatten up Butters so that he can lose weight by eating at their favorite restaurant just like Jared, the sub sandwich guy. Jared, who is making an appearance in town reveals another secret to his weight loss, he has aides. This was not my favorite episode. Something with Jared in it should have been better. The beginning was funny though. "I'd like the sh*tty chicken with a side of sh*tty beef" That was hilarious. It was still sort of pointless over all. I mean the whole episode was about everyone thinking Jared had real Aides. It was bad.moreless

    Season 6 sends out another good episode. This is one of the best episodes of season 6 by far. Butters has now taken the place as the replacement for Kenny. This is also a good episode for introducing the character of Toung Lu Kim. In this episode, the boys want to get butters fat then make him lose wight on a fast food place just like Jared. But everyone in town finds out Jared had Aides but they take it the wrong way. But in the end they find out he meant assistance. The boys only get 15 dollars in the end for their work.moreless

    This is one of the reasons why I watch South Park. It makes fun of serious issues and takes them into jokes. AIDS... that was funny. It really made me think that that guy was crazy for wanting to give everyone AIDS. But it turns out he only wanted to give everyone aides. It was also preety funny how Butler was to gain weight, and then lose weight. I guess it's harder to gain than lose. Anyways, it was funny only around 5 dollars for Butler to be their spokes-man... I think it was even less. South Park is one of the funniest shows, and this episode proves it!moreless

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • On the DVD commentary for this episode, Trey Parker & Matt Stone said they got a letter from Subway about this episode. They claimed the letter said "...Unfortunately, Subway can't control the content on all TV shows..." Edit
    • This episode has rarely appeared on Comedy Central. According to one report, the channel forbade ever showing it after its initial week, because of the scene at the end where Butters was heard being beaten by his parents. CC is also believed to have forbidden any other episodes with Butters being physically abused by his family. Despite the CC ban, this episode has been shown in syndication and worldwide. It recently aired on Comedy Central on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, on the 12:30 A.M. slot. Edit
    • Though Sky banned it on first showing in the UK, when the series debuted on terrestrial television (Channel 4) they showed this episode at the start. Edit

    • Stan: Only in America can someone become famous just because they go from being a big fat ass to not being a big fat ass. Edit
    • Jared Vogle: And so, with all the money I've made from commercials. I have decided to start the Aides For Everyone Foundation! Man: What?! Jared Vogle: I'll personally see to it that each and every one of you get aides. Edit
    • Chef: Stay back children! Jared wants to give you AIDS! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Cartman: Then eat your puke. Butters: No! Cartman: Oh, come on, Japanese girls do it! Reference to a video that went around the Internet several times (I remember seeing it in 2000) that showed a Japanese girl putting her finger down her throat, throwing up into a bowl, and then eating it. It's one of the most disgusting bits of "underground video" that you'll ever see. Edit
    • Philadelphia: The part of the episode where Jared gets fired and is walking along the street, and even the song used in the background ("Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen) parodies the 1993 film Philadelphia starring Tom Hanks as a lawyer who gets fired from his firm because he has AIDS.
