=== [[Fridge Brilliance]] ===

* "Tsst" was really very clever. Take into account that by that point the writers admitted Cartman had become a kind of sub-human monster. They couldn't top him any more, so they took him back down. The Super-Nannies treated him as a normal child, but of course Cartman had become like a hybrid of Hitler and Skeletor. Treating him as a child didn't work as he saw it as insulting to his intelligence. Cartman knows that a lot of people don't like him and he doesn't particuarly care most of the time. Being friendly is a sign of weakness, punishments are just another way of saying he's done something that bothers you. The answer? Bring in a ''dog trainer'' who gives him a taste of what it's like to be treated as less than human. If you refuse to act like a human being, you can't expect to be treated like one.

** The ''[[Altered States]]'' part at the end jokes that for a while it's been some sort of sick demonic force controlling Cartman, rather than him. Oh, he's still spoiled and selfish and a [[Jerkass]] afterwards because [[Status Quo Is God]], but most of his episodes after that have used his leadership abilities slightly more humanely - patrolling the halls like a mercenary cop, manipulating kids into giving him blood samples to test for nits, saving the World of Warcraft from a jerk, helping Mexican kids get into college by teaching them that cheating isn't so bad. Good deeds are now an option for his character, as well as selfish ones.

* The ending of Red Sleigh Down, where Santa brings Christmas to Iraq, a predominantly Muslim country. Because nothing says happiness like forcing your religious holidays on other cultures. By bombing them with it, no less.

* After Chef was reconstructed into Darth Chef, everyone expected his return. But he never came back. What does that mean? The rebuilt remains of Chef, our beloved Chef, is still with the Super Adventure Club raping little boys.

*** Not necessarily true, all we know is that he woke up in his bed. Doesn't say how he [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|got into bed fully dressed in his parka.]]

*** Another episode showed him just appearing out of nowhere. All Stan says about this is [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|"Oh, hey Kenny."]]

*** As brilliant as that episode was, now this troper will never be able to hear the words "Oh my God! They killed Kenny!" "You bastards!" the same way again, as the beloved running gag has been twisted into something much darker...

** With the revelation that Kenny is an immortal, "Cartman Joins NAMBLA" becomes disturbing when you realize that Kenny was trying to murder his mom's unborn son (which turns out to be him).
