    What I liked: Cartman suggesting to put Kyle in a 'concentration camp,' then pretending he did not know that was racist, Kyle complaining about Kyle, Stan and Cartman at the end of the episode, about them being 'd-bags', Mr. Garrison inventing the "IT", amongst other things.

    Really funny episode. Pretty much everything clicked and it was a really funny episode to watch, one I think every fan would like. A+ episode, no doubtmoreless

    There were a fair few funny bits in this episode, but they were kind of evened out by boring moments, mostly provided by the Kyle vs Kyle storyline. I thought it was stupid from the beginning, why would you call your son Kyle when you know that a close family memeber has just called their son Kyle? Unless of course, they were somehow trying to save money, that is very Jewish. The best part of the episode was Cartman trying not to rip on Kyle for $40, he couldn't do it, but he produced one of the lines of the series, "Maybe we should send him to a concentration camp?", bah! Hilarious!moreless

    This is one of my favourite episodes of South Park and another great installment for season five. The character of Kyle's cousin was a stroke of genius on the creator's part and is one of South Park's most hillarious people. The plot of this episode involves Kyle's cousin, Kyle, coming to town and staying with him, but because he is such a stereotypical jewish person, Kyle is embarrased to be with him. He eventually tries to find ways to get rid of him. Meanwhile Mr. Garrison invents a machine that he believes will completely wow the world but it has some extremely uncomfortable controls. This is certainly one of the most uncomfortable episodes of South Park to watch and I sincerely hope that no-one will invent a machine like Mr. Garrison's in the future. However this episode is certainly one of the highlights of season five alongside Scott Tenorman, Cartmanland and 162 s**t Keep the funny stuff coming.moreless

  • Another great South Park.

    This is another great episode of South Park. It has alot of funny parts and a very, very funny plot to go along with it all. Kyle's cousin is kind of funny and the way that they get rid of him is really funny until he gets back. It's a very classic episode of South Park. It's a major step forward and sort of pathed the way for upcoming episodes of South Park. Overall, I thought this episode was very good, they involved alot of characters in it and put them into it wonderfully. I give it a score of 7.5.moreless

    Garrison sucks hard.

    We all know that South Park Elementary School's teacher of the 3rd or 4th grade is a gay - but did we know that his dream is creating a vehicle that involves sexual pleasures? A strange episode, this is - it involves some cocksucking, some riding along the roads, and even some FUNNY PARTS !!

    Yes, FUNNY PARTS. This is what S P should B E..

    The creators of this episode did well. Very well, indeed. I can not wait until the next proper GOOD episode. Lemee see, lets skip a couple and get to a REAL one. Ha ha.

    • When Kyle's cousin says "Sorry about your sled", you can hear his voice sounds different. Edit
    • This is the first time that South Park has ripped on a celebrity that they once worked with, Yasmine Bleeth. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • The alternative title for this episode, 'The Ginger Device', could be taken to mean 'The Queer Device' - based on Cockney Rhyming Slang (originating in London, England), where "Ginger" is "Ginger Beer", rhyming slang for "queer"! [ Editor's note: An interesting concept, but in this case "Ginger" refers to the name of a real transportation device that was revealed in 2001 that had piqued the interest of some of the investors seen in this episode. You can search the web for more information on this device using the keywords "Ginger" and "transportation". ] Edit

    • Kyle: You especially can't say anything about Jews. Cartman: Oh Jesus why don't you just cut off my balls!? Edit
    • Stan: Dude, a self hating Jew? You are becoming a stereotype. Edit
    • News Anchorman: Here with the report is a Hispanic man with some gravy stains on his lapel. Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Jimmy Neutron: Mr. Garrison's vehicle IT is very similar to the ultra orb used in the Dec 2001 film, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Edit
    • Segway: Businessman: We're going to have to re-think cities! Mr. Garrison's invention is analogous to the Segway scooter that was widely publicized as a mystery invention that would "change civilization." One of the famous investors in the project (Steve Jobs I think) was quoted as saying something about how we would have to re-think cities based on this invention. However, the scooter is pretty expensive and has not been nearly as successful as a lot of people thought it would. Edit
    • Hoveround: Old Ladies: "IT"! The scene with the two old ladies at the Grand Canyon with the narrarator asking them how they got to the Grand Canyon is a reference the the Hoveround wheelchair commercials in which two old ladies got to the Grand Canyon with them. Edit
