    What I liked: Butter's dad telling him if he did not jump, then he would not be grounded 'for more than two weeks', the ending with Butters in the basement asking for spaghetti-o's, Butters as Marjorine dancing for the girls, and pretty much everything Butters said and or did in this episode was great. Funny episode, one of my favorites from season 9. There was nary a dull moment and I laughed at quite a bit in it, so my final grade is going to be an A+.moreless

    I love this episode, all the boys in South Park find out about a future telling device the girls have. Well they need one of the boys to dress up as a girl to get the device, and its of cource Butters. They throw a dead pig off of the building, which makes a bloddy splash thinking its Butters comiting suicide SPOLIERS : When they go back to school, you find out the girls don't even know who Butters is by her comment. Well Margoine gets invited to the slumber party and gets singled out by being called ugly. He/she starts crying and they give him a makeover and you can tell Butters likes being a girl much more than being a boy. They have pillow fights and more. Then you hear Cartman's comment about i hope hes not lesing out. Butters runs away with the future telling device and they destroy it; thinking its to dangerous. Overall, my favorite line in this episode was Cartmans phone call about geting Butters invited to the slumber party and the line is "Margorine's mom said i shoud invite her over and I should respect her authority". This episode is so funny and humerous I'm giving it a 10. It's one of my favorite episodes. Definately, this episode is a must watch!moreless

    Cartman and Butters make the show hilarious! They are just such good contrasts. Butters makes a cute girl, especially when he's crying in the bathroom when the other girls make fun of his hair. And this episode shows the kids actually acting like children thinking the fortune teller was real. Also you rarely see Wendy being mean to anyone and she's mean to Marjorine.

    Ah, finally the episode where you learn how kenny comes back to life. His parents have had 52 kenny\\\'s in this episode. A large source of this humor is that SP is like a commercial. Nonstop activity, with no downtown and constant overlapping plots like seeing the trailer and the russel crowe TV show. Cartman is manipulative, contorlling, butters is insecure. both hysterical, perfect names for each, too. I can\\\'t beleive he went as hitler and actually had his mom make hte costume. Cartman\\\'s manipulation, rectum smuggling, catch phrases never stop being funny. Interesting that Chef is the only SP character with his morals aligned!moreless

  • With hilarious references to "Pet Sematary", plus some very funny and memorable scenes, this is one episode that illustrates exactly why South Park is so great.

    This episode is quite frankly the best South Park episode I have seen so far (and I've seen many).
    Butters' (spoilers ahead) death, for instance, was positively hysterical, as was his 'return from the dead'.
    The satire relating to typical action/sci-fi flicks is great, as are the many references to "Pet Sematary", the novel turned movie from Stephen King.
    Overall, this is a superbly scripted, well-timed and very funny episode. South Park at its very best.

    Since the minimum word count is 100, I'll have to pad this review up a bit.
    Ok, that's 100 words.

    All in all, watch this episode. To fully appreciate it, however, you should probably watch Pet Sematary first.moreless

    • Bratz: On the wall at Heidi's house is a poster reading 'Twerpz' with several young girls on it. This is a spoof of the Bratz line of merchandise, which is targeted for adolescent girls. Edit
    • E.T.: There's a poster on the wall at Heidi's sleepover that says 'I.T.' It shows two figures on a bike in the sky, with a full moon behind them. This is a spoof of Steven Spielberg's film E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982). Edit
    • The Craft: The scene where the girls are practicing witchcraft levitating one another is a parody of 1995 film The Craft. In the film a new girl at a school joins a group of girls who study witchcraft. Edit
