===Description===
===Description===
After serving a long detention for goofing off in art class, the boys exact revenge by toilet-papering their art teacher's house.  However, Kyle is paralyzed with guilt for his part in the TP incident. Concerned that he will rat them out to the authorities, Cartman decides to bludgeon Kyle to death with a baseball bat.  Unfortunately, he can only afford a wiffle ball bat, which proves ineffective.
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.


Meanwhile, Officer Barbrady attempts to track down the perpetrators by consulting with a serial toilet-paperer named Josh Myers, who's incarcerated at Park County Juvenile Hall for TP-ing more than 600 houses in a year. He and Officer Barbrady strike up a Hannibal Lecter/Clarice Starling-like relationship. Eventually Barbrady arrests a suspect -- Butters. Butters had nothing to do with the crime, but is convinced he's guilty anyway.  
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.


When the boys hear about this wrongful arrest, Stan and Kenny suddenly feel as bad as Kyle. They agree (to Cartman's horror) that they should confess to their art teacher the next day. Meanwhile, Butters' parents prove his innocence by providing a rock-solid alibi for the night of the incident. However, they vow to punish him severely for "fibbing" to the police.
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.


In a brilliant example of damage control, Cartman confesses first and turns in the other three boys in the process. Stan, Kyle, and Kenny get two weeks of detention, while Cartman gets only one for "being brave." Shortly thereafter, Josh Myers escapes. He calls Barbrady just before he launches a TP attack on the greatest target of all -- the White House.
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.


===What I Learned Today===
===What I Learned Today===
Nothing. Cartman tries to give an emotional rendition of what he's learned, but Kyle cuts him off: "Oh stop it Cartman!  You didn't learn anything!  Not a god damn thing!"
"I guess we all learned that trying to get along is way better than p. . .player hatin'."

This was one of those last-minute concepts that emerged shortly before the show was supposed to air. There weren't any deep political or cultural messages -- just the boys being boys.

Kyle hesitates before TP-ing the art teacher's house because there are kids inside, saying: "We didn't say nothin' about no kids, man!"  It's a parody of a scene from Scarface. Also, the story Cartman invents to give the boys an alibi on the night of the TP-ing concerns them spotting Ally Sheedy, "the Goth chick from the Breakfast Club" in a bowling alley.
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.


The infamous scene in which Cartman tries to kill Kyle on a boat in Stark's Pond is a nod to a similar incident in the film The Godfather II.
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.

One of Kyle's guilt-fueled dreams includes live-action footage of ice skater Nancy Kerrigan crying after she was kneecapped in 1994. This is one of Matt's all-time favorite scenes.
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.

While locked up in jail, Butters worries about how is girlfriend Carrie will react, saying: "when she finds out about this, woo-smokies is she gonna be sore!" Although we never see her, she apparently lives in Michigan. Also, Butters' parents mention that he's in jail "again."
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.


Through some skillful mindgames, we learn that Officer Barbrady had a pretty twisted childhood: his Uncle Charles used to hit him with a belt, and his Dad dressed him up like a girl on poker nights and made him sit on all his Uncle's laps.
Timmy and Jimmy's Crip names are "Lil' Roller" and "Four Legs," respectively.

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.
