    In this episode, the boys meet Al Gore, and he goes on and on about ManBearPig and how he'll destroy us all. Eventually, he gets them trapped inside a cave, where Cartman finds gold. Eventually they escape, and Cartman sh*ts out his gold, and Stan gets Al Gore to go away.

    Good: The premise is original, nice pardoy of Gore and Global Warming, Cartman being himself is great like always

    Bad: The Al Gore has no friends jokes gets old by the very end

    Overall: It's not the best episode ever, but it's still much better than most of seasons 9 and 10, so I suggest this episode definitly.moreless

    This episode was okay but nothing great, Al Gore not having friends being a joke that should have been used once rather than repetitive times and Cartman eating the treasure also got a bit boring.

    Manbearpig being another creation of Al Gore's insane mind is a pretty funny plot but is a bit overused, much like a lot of the episode. However, there are some very funny moments such as remembering the four miscellaneous kids and Cartman freaking Kyle out by staring at him while he's asleep.

    This is the third season ten episode aired in Australia and the episodes haven't been very impressive so far but all the same, South Park is still funny.moreless

    This episode is a fave of mine. Why? Two words... Al Gore. In this episode Al Gore comes to South Park to speak to the children about a dangerous creature lurking in the hills around town, Manbearpig. "Half man, half bear, and half pig." Al Gore is on a mission to kill Manbearpig and takes the children to some underground caves, he believes it's living in. After shooting up the caves, a cave in occurs and the boys are trapped inside. Cartman gets sick and the boys have to be rescued quick or take their chances and try to find a way out. This episode is filled with classic, repeatable quotes (mostly thanks to Al Gore's character), that made me laugh out loud. If you haven't seen it, watch it as soon as you can... I'm SUPER SERIAL!moreless

    This isn't really a series classic, but I found it watchable and enjoyable in what so far has been a shakey season.

    The dailogue flows much better and is funnier than much of the season's offerings up until this point.

    We get classic Cartman as he discovers the 'treasure' and plans to keep it all for himself.

    [spoiler] It might come as a slight surprise that the real ManBearPig doesn't make an appearance, making a contrast to Skuzzlebutt the early, first season episode 'Volcano'. [end of spoiler]

    All-in-all, not quite a classic episode, but quite a good one, with some funny moments.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • At the first scene, when the kids are listening to Al Gore's lecture in school, Tweek's seat alternates every time. When the camera zooms out, we can see him seating with Craig in front of the boys, but on the close-ups, he seats behind them. Edit
    • While in the cave cartman is seen drinking a bottle of water with a label that reads "Wottur". Edit
    • Did you notice in the picture of Cartman's "treasure" there was a Ginger kid? Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • There is no real ManBearPig in this episode. The only times ManBearPig appears in the episode are in Gore's drawing or when it turns out to be Gore in costume. This is in contrast to the earlier episode "Volcano", in which Scuzzlebutt is a real monster. This is due to the fact that MBP is a symbol for Global Warming. Edit
    • This is Al Gore's second appearance on the show. His first appearance was on The Red Badge of Gayness. Edit
    • This is the second time Cartman gain lots of weight. Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • Al Gore: All right kids, I need you to keep an eye out for ManBearPig droppings. Kyle: What do ManBearPig droppings look like? Al Gore: Similar to pig droppings but more manbear-like. Edit
    • Woman : Take a picture of the sound Steven. Edit
    • Tour Guide: This one here we named "The Hanging Mushroom", and over here we have "Man With helmet and two bowling balls", and finally here of course are "The Two Sisters". Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Cave of the Winds: The Cave of the Winds is a real tourist attraction in Colorado. It allows people to take a tour inside the mountain on which it is located. Edit
    • Apple Computers : One of the computers in Al Gore's headquarters looked very similar to an Apple system. The box near the monitor even had the Apple logo. Edit
    • Stan Lee: Al Gore: Excelsior! Throughout the episode, Al Gore says "excelsior", which means "higher" in Latin. The word is used largely by Stan Lee, creator of many superheroes of the Marvel Universe. The Al Gore portrayed in this episode seems to think that he is a superhero for defeating "ManBearPig" and even wears a cape at the end. Edit
