===Description===
===Description===
Cartman wins a Cultural Diversity Day contest for his report on "the important role of Latinos in the arts."  He presents a ventriloquist act -- a mouth and two eyes drawn on his left fist, which he refers to as "Ms. Lopez." Ms. Lopez speaks nonstop about her love for tacos and burritos, and Cartman's presentation easily beats Kyle's vastly more well-researched effort.
Jimmy performs stand-up comedy to a practically empty theater.  It turns out everyone in town has gone to see paraplegic and stem cell research advocate Christopher Reeve, who is slowly regaining his strength by sucking the juices out of fetuses. Jimmy and Timmy, angered at the attention he receives, form their own "handicapped-from-birth" club -- The Crips. After learning that an organization with that name already exists (and mistakenly believing that it's also composed of people crippled from birth), they join its Denver chapter.


Soon Ms. Lopez takes on a life of her own. She records a music video that gets the attention of the real Jennifer Lopez's record company, which decides to fire J-Lo and hire the new "girl." Naturally J-Lo doesn't take this very well. She and her then-boyfriend, Ben Affleck, turn up in South Park.  She gets into a fight with Cartman's hand, while Affleck falls in love with it.
In order to prove their street cred, they're sent out to kill some members of a rival gang, the Bloods. The boys unwittingly accomplish this when a gasoline tanker, swerving to avoid them, crashes into gas station where Bloods gang members are haning out, killing everyone. Soon Jimmy and Timmy are rolling around South Park in their new gang colors, terrifying the populace.


The situation rapidly deteriorates. Ms. Lopez records a successful single, then keeps Cartman up at all hours, writing songs and practicing her "dancing." Even worse, she starts a torrid love affair with Affleck. One morning Cartman wakes up to find Affleck naked in his bed, with his "spooge" all over Ms. Lopez. And to top it off, Ms. Lopez and Affleck announce that they're getting married.
Meanwhile Reeve's fetus-sucking habit not only restores him to full mobility, but then gives him superpowers -- and an insatiable desire for more and more fetuses. He founds his own Legion of Doom, which is committed to world domination and evil. But Reeve is thwarted by Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman (whom he refers to as "Hack Man"). Hackman and his followers help secure a ban on stem cell research, then imprison Reeve in another dimension and shoot him into space.


Desperate, Cartman turns to the other boys for help. Stan is at least willing to entertain the idea that Cartman has gone insane, but Kyle thinks it's just another con. They turn their backs on him, leaving Cartman to deal with the situation himself. He tries to simply walk away from the mess, only to be confronted by: Record Execs threatening a lawsuit if Ms. Lopez doesn't complete her album; a love-smitten Affleck; and a chainsaw-wielding, completely insane J-Lo.
Jimmy and Timmy have problems of their own. When Jimmy's house is sprayed with bullets by the rival Bloods gang, he finally realizes how much trouble he's gotten himself into. But instead of running for cover, he decides to bring the two enemy gangs together by doing an all night "lock in" at the Denver Recreation Center.  After an impassioned speech in which Jimmy tells the rival gangs "I mean, come on," the two groups form a truce.  The Crips and Bloods become fast friends, and even perform a musical number together.
 
They chase Cartman onto a bridge, where Ms. Lopez reveals that she's really Mitch Connor -- a con artist who, out of shame for his actions, has taken a cyanide pill. He then "dies," leaving Cartman in full possession of his left hand.
 
J-Lo is taken away by the police and the rest of Ms. Lopez's pursuers leave.  Although he's still skeptical, Kyle admits that maybe -- just maybe -- "something I don't understand" happened to Cartman.  Only to have Cartman point and laugh, "I got you kinda! I got you kinda!"
The real Jennifer Lopez, broke and defeated, is last seen working at a La Taco.

==Behind The Scenes==
==Behind The Scenes==
===Where Did The Idea Come From===
===Where Did The Idea Come From===
At the time, everyone was fed up with the Affleck/Lopez romance. Also, Matt and Trey had for a long time wanted to give Cartman a hand puppet.
Trey and Matt considered going after Christopher Reeve for quite a while, but were always dissuaded by others who thought it deeply uncool. This time they decided to go for it. They blended it with another longstanding premise -- having Jimmy and Timmy join the Crips.


==Pop Culture References==
==Pop Culture References==
===Shout Outs===
===Shout Outs===
Ms. Lopez bears a strong resemblance to a fist puppet named Johnny that was created by a Spanish puppeteer and Ed Sullivan Show regular named Seor Wences. There was a similar puppet in the film The In-Laws.
When the Bloods and Crips get together to sing at the end of the episode, they're parodying the numbers usually performed during Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. They even play improvised, Albert-esque instruments.
In Ms. Lopez's dream sequence, we see her on the cover of three magazines: Peeps, Belle Beauty, and Vague -- parodies of real magazines People, Belle, and Vogue.  Later, Ben and Ms. Lopez's forbidden romance appears on the cover of The National Inquisition, a joke on The National Inquirer.  The cover of the Inquisition also has a picture of Yoko Ono, who was last seen in "World Wide Recorder Concert."
 
Larry King is shown here, hosting The Larry King Show, and obvious parody of his actual show Larry King Live.
Many aspects of this episode parody the classic 1978 film Superman, although the roles of Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman are totally reversed.  Even the ending of this episode, where Reeve's is encased in a 2-dimensional panel of glass and shot into space, is a nod to the beginning of the film.
 
Christopher Reeve's Legion of Doom -- complete with the Hall of Doom headquarters -- is an homage to the real Legion of Doom, a fictional gang of supervillians (led by Lex Luthor) hellbent on bringing down the Super Friends.  Some members of the original Legion are actually present: Black Manta, Cheetah, and Solomon Grundy, as well as parodies of Marvel villains Doctor Octopus and Doctor Doom.


===Pwn'd===
===Pwn'd===
Jennifer Lopez and her boyfriend-at-the-time, Ben Affleck. J-Lo is portrayed as a bitchy hack. While writing songs for Ms. Lopez, Cartman notes, "Your style of music is so easy, it doesn't require any thought at all!" Ben Affleck comes across as an equally useless. "I've been meaning to write a song or a poem, but I have no talent," he confesses to Ms. Lopez.
Actor Christopher Reeve (best known for his role as Superman) gets the royal treatment for his support of stem cell research. Also, Christopher Reeve's Legion of Doom includes Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il . . . and magician David Blaine, last seen in "Super Best Friends."
 
Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve's "old nemisis from the movies," is once again portrayed as his archrival.


==Bonus Factoids==
==Bonus Factoids==


===Pointless Observations===
===Pointless Observations===
This is actually Ben Affleck's second South Park turn. He first appeared in "How to Eat with Your Butt," as the long-lost son of two people with butts for faces.  In that episode, he was portrayed using a cutout of the real Affleck's face -- unlike this episode, in which he's fully animated.
Jimmy's last name is revealed to be Swanson (although he will be called Jimmy Valmer in later episodes). Also, Christopher Reeve's Legion of Doom includes Professor Chaos and General Disarray.
 
In the front window of the UR Da Star music video store, there's the black top-hat/hair worn by Slash in "I'm A Little Bit Country" ; on the wall are pictures of Phil Collins (from "Timmy 2000") and Elton John (from "Chef Aid" and "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig").
 
J-Lo's license plate reads "SPICY"; Ben Affleck's is "AWESOME."


In a scene that Matt and Trey still can't believe they got past the network, Ms. Lopez gives Affleck a handjob.
Timmy and Jimmy's Crip names are "Lil' Roller" and "Four Legs," respectively.

Story

Description

Jimmy performs stand-up comedy to a practically empty theater. It turns out everyone in town has gone to see paraplegic and stem cell research advocate Christopher Reeve, who is slowly regaining his strength by sucking the juices out of fetuses. Jimmy and Timmy, angered at the attention he receives, form their own "handicapped-from-birth" club -- The Crips. After learning that an organization with that name already exists (and mistakenly believing that it's also composed of people crippled from birth), they join its Denver chapter.

In order to prove their street cred, they're sent out to kill some members of a rival gang, the Bloods. The boys unwittingly accomplish this when a gasoline tanker, swerving to avoid them, crashes into gas station where Bloods gang members are haning out, killing everyone. Soon Jimmy and Timmy are rolling around South Park in their new gang colors, terrifying the populace.

Meanwhile Reeve's fetus-sucking habit not only restores him to full mobility, but then gives him superpowers -- and an insatiable desire for more and more fetuses. He founds his own Legion of Doom, which is committed to world domination and evil. But Reeve is thwarted by Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman (whom he refers to as "Hack Man"). Hackman and his followers help secure a ban on stem cell research, then imprison Reeve in another dimension and shoot him into space.

Jimmy and Timmy have problems of their own. When Jimmy's house is sprayed with bullets by the rival Bloods gang, he finally realizes how much trouble he's gotten himself into. But instead of running for cover, he decides to bring the two enemy gangs together by doing an all night "lock in" at the Denver Recreation Center. After an impassioned speech in which Jimmy tells the rival gangs "I mean, come on," the two groups form a truce. The Crips and Bloods become fast friends, and even perform a musical number together.

Trey and Matt considered going after Christopher Reeve for quite a while, but were always dissuaded by others who thought it deeply uncool. This time they decided to go for it. They blended it with another longstanding premise -- having Jimmy and Timmy join the Crips.

Shout Outs

When the Bloods and Crips get together to sing at the end of the episode, they're parodying the numbers usually performed during Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. They even play improvised, Albert-esque instruments.

Larry King is shown here, hosting The Larry King Show, and obvious parody of his actual show Larry King Live. Many aspects of this episode parody the classic 1978 film Superman, although the roles of Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman are totally reversed. Even the ending of this episode, where Reeve's is encased in a 2-dimensional panel of glass and shot into space, is a nod to the beginning of the film.

Christopher Reeve's Legion of Doom -- complete with the Hall of Doom headquarters -- is an homage to the real Legion of Doom, a fictional gang of supervillians (led by Lex Luthor) hellbent on bringing down the Super Friends. Some members of the original Legion are actually present: Black Manta, Cheetah, and Solomon Grundy, as well as parodies of Marvel villains Doctor Octopus and Doctor Doom.

Pwn'd

Actor Christopher Reeve (best known for his role as Superman) gets the royal treatment for his support of stem cell research. Also, Christopher Reeve's Legion of Doom includes Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il . . . and magician David Blaine, last seen in "Super Best Friends."

Gene Hackman, Christopher Reeve's "old nemisis from the movies," is once again portrayed as his archrival.

Bonus Factoids
