    This episode is better than the movie it parodies. Stan and Cartman are playing in a boat and wreck it into a damn.Everyone is the us thanks to stans dad thinks globlal warming is the cause. The whole town hides in the community center thinking it is freezing outside Stan kyle and cartman try to rescue peole form the the town the flooded but make things worse eventually the military saves everyone.

    This episode is pretty funny. I like how everthing is exaggerated in the movie it is negative 400 degrees outside 600 billion people have died. It is also funny when Randy puts on winter gear and marches out into the summer heat to save stan.

    8.5/10moreless

    two days before the day after tomorrow vs night of the living homeless.which one is better...night of the living homeless.TDBTDAT is funny and the stupidness of Randy is the show s classic.NOTLH is extremely humorous, using crtoon violence humor and and imaginative sequence.both are great episode.the bad thing about two days before the day after tomorrow is that they only use randy mostly for its jokes.south park is known for its unique humor with different characters personality.this one,only used randy.but still,a very decent way to kick off the second half of season nine.RECOMMENDED.this episode uses a unique humor called "exaggeration".like saying the outside temperature is 40 billion degrees below zero,and the whole is shocked.that is one of the humor is south park i really enjoy.try to catch these unique jokes and laugh along with them !moreless

    A great parody episode. Lots of great quotes such as the "excuse me clich dissenting Republican." I love how so many scenes are very similar to the movie the Day After Tomorrow. It's also a great episode because they stick to one story and do not try to do too much. I thought the Jew Gold joke towards the end of the episode was dumb. But, I liked how they tried to blame the Crab People for the Beaverton Flood and the whole "I broke the Dam" thing at the end of the episode. All in all a great episode worth watching multiple times.moreless

    This by far has got to be one of the best representations of a movie and current event that South Park has ever done. I was laughing throughout the whole episode, all the moments were absolutely funny. Based on The Day After Tomorrow and Hurricane Katrina, Stan and Cartman sneak into a boat lake and ride a motorboat when they crash into a Beaver Dam that soon floods the whole city. As South Park is only concerned with figuring out who did it, Stan and Cartman must keep the secret in an action-packed adventure with global warming and jew gold.moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • In the community shelter Mrs. Brofslovski addresses Garrison as "Mr.", rather than "Mrs". Edit
    • During the meeting where Randy speaks in front of the politicians and others, the "cliche dissenting republican" is nowhere to be seen in the wide shots when we see the whole crowd. When the camera is on him, he has people behind him, so he must be sitting at the front desk. Yet in the wide shots he isn't anywhere to be seen. Edit
    • In this episode Stan and Kyle's dads call Butter's dad "Stephen." However, in Asspen in season 6 his name is Chris. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Originally "Team America: World Police" Matt and Trey's puppet movie, was going to use the script of "The Day After Tomorrow" obviously in a much funnier way. Edit
    • The episode was originally going to end in a song, but they rewrote the ending the morning the episode was going to air. Edit

  • Quotes

    ADD QUOTES
    • (After Randy finishes his speech, it wasn't long until Frank starts laughing). Randy: WHAT FRANK? Frank point at the board to show what Randy drew, a male body part. Randy: Oh goddamn it. Edit
    • News Reporter: Reports are coming in slowly but the death toll is said to be in the hundreds of billions. Edit
    • Cartman: (Walking up to Stan and Kyle) Hey guys! (Kyle looks angry). Cartman: God Dammit! You told Kyle didn't you? Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Spartacus: At the end of the episode where the adults proclaim one after the other "I broke the dam", "I broke the dam" etc. this is a clear allusion to the classic scene in the 1960 film Spartacus where the Roman gladiators similarly proclaim "I'm Spartacus", "I'm Spartacus" to proclaim solidarity and to protect the real Spartacus from being punished by the Romans. Edit
    • National Weather Service Goof: The giant penis Randy Marsh draws on the map of America is most likely based on a real National Weather Service wind distribution map for Hurricane Rita, which bore an unfortunate resemblance to a giant penis. It can be seen at this website. Edit
    • Weekend at Bernies: The scene in the marina may have been inspired by the 1989 movie, Weekend at Bernies. There is one scene where the protagonists, Richard & Larry, are trying to escape from a hitman with their dead boss and they can't get their boat to move. Eventually the rope breaks and they crash into everything in the marina at high speeds. Also, both Richard & Cartman said "we're not moving." Edit
