Mr. Garrison assigns the boys (along with Tweek) to do a report on a current event in South Park. While trying to find a topic, the boys are distracted by the “Underpants Gnomes” that visit Tweek on a nightly basis. Meanwhile, Tweek’s father runs a gourmet coffee shop that he fears will go out of business when a national coffee chain called Harbucks arrives in South Park.

We learn in this episode that the reason for Tweek's shaking is due to all the coffee that his parents give him. But they blame his shaking on ADD.
(edit)
This episode is occasionally called "Underpants Gnomes."
(edit)
Mrs Tweek makes a comment about ignorance, anti-corporationism, and exploiting of children to get the point across, and indicates that they are 'as bad as Rob Reiner.' Parker and Stone later decided to tear more shreds out of Reiner in the seventh series' 'Butt Out.'
(edit)
First appearance of Tweek and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tweek.
(edit)
Mrs. Tweek: Oh hello son. How was your day?
Tweek: Arghhh!
Mrs. Tweek: Who are your little friends?
Tweek: What do you mean?
Kyle: We're his oral report buddies.
Stan: Yeah, we have to stay up all night to write it.
Mrs. Tweek: Well have some coffee boys. I'll brew up another pot for later.
Kyle: Coffee? I don't think I like coffee.
Mrs. Tweek: Oh you'll like this coffee, it's fresh.
Mr. Tweek: Country fresh, like the morning after a rainstorm.
Stan: Okay. (edit) Stan: Okay we have to do this stupid report so... (Tweek freaks out) So let's figure out what to do it about.
(long pause)
Cartman: How about we do it on that Raymond guy on TV, you know everyone loves Raymond.
Kyle: No, Cartman, we can't do it on Raymond again. It has to be on a current event in South Park. (edit) Mr Garrison: Settle down children, I have some difficult news. This is going to make you all very sad. The school board is considering firing me as your teacher. There's a possibility I'll be let go and never allowed to teach you again. (Stan raises his hand) Yes Stanley?
Stan: That's okay with us.
Kyle: Yeah!
Craig: Yeah, we dont care.
Cartman: That's fine.
Mr Garrison: (shouting) No it isn't! It makes you very sad! (edit) Mr. Tweek: What can I get for you, Officer Barbrady?
Barbrady: Oh, just the usual.
(Mr. Tweek hits Barbrady in the face with a cat)
Barbrady: Thanks! See you tomorrow! (edit) Gnome: Phase 1 = Collect underpants
Phase 2 = ………
Phase 3 = Profit (edit)
Tweek: Arghhh!
Mrs. Tweek: Who are your little friends?
Tweek: What do you mean?
Kyle: We're his oral report buddies.
Stan: Yeah, we have to stay up all night to write it.
Mrs. Tweek: Well have some coffee boys. I'll brew up another pot for later.
Kyle: Coffee? I don't think I like coffee.
Mrs. Tweek: Oh you'll like this coffee, it's fresh.

(Mr. Tweek hits Barbrady in the face with a cat)
Barbrady: Thanks! See you tomorrow! (edit) Gnome: Phase 1 = Collect underpants
Phase 2 = ………
Phase 3 = Profit (edit)
Somehow, the Gnomes are able to pull the underpants right out of a person's pants without ripping or tearing them.
(edit)
Visitor Sighting: At the very end scene, a visitor is peering behind the people when they are all laughing.
(edit)
In the scene after they win the case there is a flag and it has over 50 stars.
(edit)
In the scene where Cartman hits the gnome, when he hits the gnome for the 2nd time, he's at the door but when the gnome said "Is that all you got pussy", he's at Tweek's drawer.
(edit)
How come Tweek got homework? In a later episode, nobody with ADD got homework.
(edit)
Postum
The Harbucks rep Mr. Postum is ironically named after this coffee alternative instant powdered drink made of wheat and molasses. (edit) Small Business vs. Big Business:
In this episode you get the show creators' opinions on small business vs. big business economics, which doesn't mean much since they definitely have an episode with the completely opposite point of view (Wall-Mart). Maybe their point is that a large corporation with a quality product is better than a small business with a crappy prooduct, or maybe they don't care as long as it's funny. (edit) Joe Camel:
The Harbucks Rep dresses up like Joe Camel, or in this episode, "Camel Joe," and passes out coffee and gives a speech that would be reminiscent of a cigarette ad. (edit) Starbucks:
Mr. Tweek's coffee shop is almost bought out by Harbucks, which is a parody of Starbucks, the coffee chain that is slowly taking over the US. (edit)
