Episode Chronology
Official Description[edit]
Cartman is jealous of the friendship that’s developed between Kyle and Tolkien and decides to do something about it.
Full Description[edit]
Stan Marsh, Kenny McCormick and Eric Cartman observe that Kyle Broflovski has been spending more time with classmate Tolkien Black, making daily TikTok videos and playing together more often. Seeing Stan dispirited by this, Cartman decides to "be a good Christian", and do something about it. He begins promulgating the antisemitic trope to Tolkien and others that Jews control the media, and that Kyle himself runs Hollywood. Cartman is assisted by Cupid Me, an imaginary Cupid-like version of himself first seen in the episode "Cartman Finds Love", who has adopted hip hop fashion, antisemitic beliefs, and changed his name to Cupid Ye.
Cartman is threatened with two months' detention by PC Principal if he does not cease promoting his smears about Jewish people. Cartman nonetheless continues do so in media interviews, though he is troubled by some of the more shocking comments uttered by Cupid Ye that Cartman thinks go too far. These ideas continue to spread among the student body, much to Kyle's anger, which drives a wedge between him and Tolkien. When Cupid Ye vandalizes and steals a car for a joyride, the horrified Cartman confesses his actions to Stan. Stan apologizes to Tolkien, feeling that his jealousy over Kyle and Tolkien's friendship helped set these events in motion. Cupid Ye accelerates the spread of the hatred by using his arrows to poison the minds of the student body, resulting in Kyle being threatened by a mob of students. As Stan and Tolkien stand in his defense, Cartman confronts Cupid Ye and forces him to take his medication, returning him to his normal Cupid Me state in which he resumes his normal task of spreading love among the student body.
At a public speaking engagement, Kyle addresses a large group of people in an attempt to educate the public on the history of Jewish involvement in the entertainment industry, and how that industry is actually controlled by tens of thousands of people all over the world. His speech moves the attendees, some of whom suggest that Kyle himself should run Hollywood, an idea that the crowd cheers, much to Kyle's frustration.
