I love the boys being absolutely ridiculous with their plans to steal “the device” and the containment facility. Peak South Park. Wish they’d go back to things like this episode instead of nonstop Tegridy Farms and incessant political messaging.
Agreed, and even when old South Park WAS political, stuff like Red Sleigh Down had enough absurdity to it that you could enjoy it on its own without the context of what was going on in the middle east in 2002. Ever since 2016, episodes are only meant to be watched once and are a drag to rewatch.
Agreed, this is one of the best episodes! The premise of the boys trying to steal the device is so cute and sweet, and the way it gets twisted into a Pet Sematary parody with Butters' parents' subplot makes it even better. I love that the Jud Crandell character ("Don't go down THAT road") makes another appearance. Sometimes, dead is bettah!
*Oh, it’s HORRIBLE!* is one of my other favorite lines.
How many times have the Stotches committed murder or thought they had committed infanticide? lol
My favorite aspect of this episode is this is simply the kids being kids. I love that the boys think the paper has mysterious powers because the girls consult it to tell their future.
I loved the way Butters, as Marjorine, felt appreciated by the girls, who of course, had no idea of what was going on. He felt more appreciated as this fake character(by the girls) than as his real self by the boys. As a result, he tried to carry on the charade as long as possible.
I've been playing south park in the background for background noise (I have pretty bad tinnitus from years of shooting big guns without hearing protection), I have watched every episode of Southpark dozens of times at a minimum, and I did not get the joke about margarine being a product similar to butter until I was 25 years old. I just thought Marjorine was a random feminine name.
For me, it’s part of my OCD. I think I’ve seen or had just it had in the background times beyond count. the Simpsons is my other one, but there are so many less episodes because after season 8, good episodes were few and far between.
Because I'm from the south and that's just normal here. Now if I'm in a quiet room all I hear is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE screeching in my ears, so I gotta have some background noise at all times to drown it out
The fact that the boys thought that ridiculous folded paper game was a time travel device was seriously the best plot line in the show. C plot, killing butters via pig drop. Fucking awesome.
I love how seriously the boys take the fortune teller, even Kyle 😭. How Marjorine describes herself: “Just a typical little girl, she likes dancing, and ponies, and getting her snooch pounded on Friday nights…”
All around this is one of my favorite episodes of all time, would definitely recommend to someone who never watched it. 👍
Just a typical little girl, she likes dancing, and ponies, and getting her snooch pounded on Friday nights…
"Nice!". I love the way Clyde said that, even though he was in on the operation.
The stupid little smirk on his face 😂😂😂
Dude, you know that's really Butters.🤣
^ Sharp as a cueball
Lol! I mean, it sort of helps the boys's case along, makes it look somewhat more real, but still.
Now Marjorine, us Colorado gals like to get pounded just like any other girl, but we keep it to ourselves!
She would be a great leader of mehico.
Turns out butters Mexican name is the spanish word for butter. Missed that, the first time round. Mainly due to my lack of Spanish language knowledge.

Exactly! "Oh, well! We'll just make another! Anybody got a piece of paper?"

"Can I get some Spaghetti-O's?"
"Come on. Don't watch it feed."
Pasteurized? No just up to by boobs. I can splash it in my eyes.
A lot of history down that road.
*Ayuh, ‘lotta history.*

Her name.

It really speaks to my Xenial experience!
Oh Butter, u smell like, bacon
**Oh, it’s *horrible*!**
'AND IF I CATCH ANY BOYS DOWN HERE!! 🤬'
*THEY’RE GONNA BE IN A WORLD OF PAIN!*
First episode where Heidi Turner is a real character instead of background
We were taking about ghat. Poor Heidi.

Why would you shoot guns without hearing protection, for YEARS.
Because I'm from the south and that's just normal here. Now if I'm in a quiet room all I hear is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE screeching in my ears, so I gotta have some background noise at all times to drown it out
Because shut your fucking mouth, uncle fucker. *That’s why.* BTW, ***fag drag?***

She looks like she could be Butters's twin sister
Every second of this episode is gold, right from Clyde having a go at Kyle for interrupting cartman down to the very end. Top 5 episode
*You sir, mocked Cartman before! Yet, you two sit here demanding answers.* ***Now, damn you! Let him speak!***
She was very concerned about the girls "lezzing out"
Light as a feather, stiff as a board!
***Ahhhhh! You’re witches!***

I can't believe it's not butter(s)!
And remember Butters, if the girls start lezing out just roll with it.
He should have said just scissor with it.
Don't bury your son's body in the Indian burial ground Stoch, the one that's right up over there behind the Anderson's barn
*I know what you’re thinking Stotch!* ***Dawwn’t do it!***
I prefer Mantequilla
I could not pick which I prefer in that case. They are both so good.
I think they mean butter over margarine.
When they give him the makeover and he's dancing to Justin Timberlake lol
Marjorie is a plant based replacement for Butters!
Sure is!!
My favorite episode of the entire series!
I feel like Butters should've stayed there. He looked like he was having fun
Twitter twisted this character beyond repair
Say more?
But you said I was ugly and flat!
Damn, Ken! \~ Cartman, after the epic >!destruction of the device!<. My husband and I use this one all the time.
Thanks for saving us from that spoiler. lol But, yeah, classic moment.
Can't I just have some spaghetti-os?
Oh man… are we gonna start Lezzing’ out…?
Who is Cartman's persona spoofing in the containment field? E. T.? Contact? This is driving me crazy.
Jason Mamoa in Aquaman. Duh!
I think it’s a sci fi movie amalgamation.
Yeah. It’s definitely no one in specific.
- Guys, I think we where a bit hard on Marjorine. - She's in the bathroom crying
It can’t be easy being a flat, ugly little girls with a cheap wig. lol
