The template for this episode was a spoof on the reality tv show "Intervention" that was very popular at the time. Makes sense since they give Towelie an actual intervention.
I do like how they did the reality TV spoof here a lot more than how they did it in "I should have never gone Ziplining" which was a spoof on "I shouldn't be alive". The children are acting so seriously but it's about a drug addict sentient towel and that's just hilarious.
Lake Titicaca is a real place in The Andes Mountains between Bolivia and Peru. Also the show you are thinking about which this episode parodied for Towelie's story is "Intervention".
@DisfunktionalTV the cutaways with the words and the music thing behind it they keep showing throughout the episode are from the show "Intervention" which is a show on A&E about drug addicts and trying to get them treatment, basically the whole Towelie part of this episode.
10:07 : having known someone in my familly who gradually lost the use of its legs because of illness, people with such disease totally DO have business in water as long as they are watched. Walking is so hard for the legs because of the weight. But legs only have to make movements in water, not support any major weight. That person in my familly felt in paradise when in a pool, which help both her phsycial and mental health a lot.
Good point but I think he was talking about surfing, ehich would require some decent legs for balance and recovery. Also, it's harder to tread water in the sea than in a pool.
My man you should start watching the series in order and have a list of the ones you seen already, it’s really cool to see how the show has evolved as it goes on, and it’s fun guessing what was going on in the world at the time that the episode was made and what it’s based off of.
Jimmy getting the notes wrong on the Ukelele is in reference to Loony Toons (along with some of the crippled characters) when the characters play the notes of the song "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms" on a booby trapped instrument. Usually, they get the notes wrong, but then someone gets it right and blows up. The first instance of this was in their WWII cartoons: Private Snafu when it was teaching soldiers to watch out for booby traps.
You are indeed seeing human versions of Looney Toon characters. But yeah, hilarious episode. Not sure what ismore funnier, Nate having everything backfiring on him or the boys getting Towlie an intervention.
I would really love to see a new South Park episode in the future in which the handicapped kids are working in a fast food restaurant (possibly based on 10 year olds found working at McDonald’s in Kentucky), with the kids playing the role of SpongeBob characters. Jimmy obviously playing the role of SpongeBob, Nathan playing the role of Squidward while Mimsy is Patrick. And the villain in this episode might as well be Mr. Hankey’s EVIL cousin, Mr. Hankton - a cyclops-eyed piece of poo.
I remember seeing those two in a couple of episodes only to realize that Nathan and Mimzy are a parody of Rocky and Mugsy from Looney Tunes with Bugs Bunny
Intervention is the show they are modeling Also the scene with towlie in the car saying “I’m walking on sunshine” is a popular phrase from a tweaker on an episode
Just an fyi: Lake Titicaca is a real lake, not a made up name in Beavis and Butthead. They just say it a lot for obvious reasons because that's the kind of immature thing kids do when they learn that lake's name.
yea the disabled kids all represent different looney tunes characters 💀it's awful but that's South Park LMFAO also im pretty sure the whole structure of this episode with the interviews and text screens, is all a reference to a show called Intervention. pretty sure there was a woman on there that actually inhaled computer duster and threw out that "im walkin on sunshine" line, heard she's doing great nowadays though
Butters wasn’t faking! He showed genuine concern for Towelie, and was only trying to help. The only person I was most angry at was Cartman. He made that entire rant about Jewish people and didn’t even bother attempting to solve the situation. He just made it worse!
The bit with the Ukulele rigged to blow when a note is hit is a play on a Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoon where Daffy rigs a Xylafone to blow with dynamite when bugs hits a specific note while playing a tune (the same tune Jimmy was trying to play in this episode), but Bugs deliberately kept missing the note (just like Jimmy), until Daffy got so frustrated that he pushed Bugs out of the way and played the full song himself, triggering the dynamite and blowing himself up (Just like Nathan did). The kid with the large nose and speech impediment and wierd laugh wearing a cap is a play on Emler Fudd.
Not an inspiring quote from a man who famously hid his own misery from the world and eventually killed himself because of it. RIP to one of the greatest.
@@phukyu1402To be fair, he grew up at a time when alcohol was cool and pot wasn’t, whereas nowadays it’s starting to swing the other direction, so there’s also that.
Yo! Did you ever see the episode of "Intervention" where the girl was addicted to air duster? Look it up. The "Walking on sunshine" quote comes from that. She's healthy now, thank God!
The text cutaway scene is making fun of basically every intervention or other genre documentaries that do that since this a documentary style episode. But maybe there's a specific one they referencing that originated the text cutaway.
Droopy. The dog you're thinking of. They're all based off old carton bits. Like *old.* Someone probably has the references for all. One dude was obviously Elmer Fudd.
And nah man back when this episode aired the air duster cans were like 1.00 a piece, now since a lot of people use them and die, they now increased the price, and some companies add a bitterant to the cans to deter use
Other episodes I think you'd find entertaining is If you like documentary based episodes there is I should have never gone Ziplining. Some other good ones are Creme Fraiche (Good Randy Episode) Sarcastiball (Good Randy Episode) and of course Raisins (It's a good Butters and Stan based episode.) You're Not Yelping (in my opinion both hilarious and a little gross) Dances with Smurfs (A good Wendy/Cartman episode)
@DisfunktionalTV Love your reactions man. You have the most genuine reactions when you see these south parks and it’s hilarious. Please react to “Gnomes”, that’s the South Park that explains Tweek better
Even the wrong note in the ukulele solo was taken from a loony tunes episode. I think it was a piano in the Loony tunes. Cant remember which characters did it.
What Nathan and Mimsy were talking about in the beginning of this episode. About the blue team beating the red team for three years at camp. Is that why Nathan tried to sabotage the HandiCar charity business before?
@@Crab_People I thought it was kind of funny because of the million little pieces guy but I get that. I think the only reason I like that one more than crippled summer is that the intervention sound bit wears thin pretty quick.
@@Crab_People speaking of crab people has he seen South Park is Gay? That’s one I can’t remember on the channel but should have been recommended by now.
Does anyone know the name for the guitar strum used in every scene transition? It has been bugging me for years because it is so familiar and its on the tip of my tongue. Its from some show or movie but I haven't been able to guess it for the life of me.
Mimmsy is awesome he’s one of my favorite characters in South Park he needs to be in more episodes when he blows the whistle is one of my favorite scenes in the history of South Park anytime I’m having a bad day I always watch that to laugh
I love that this episode is more a criticism on Looney Toons using disabilities as a comedic crutch for 100 years and not comparing disabled people to cartoon characters.
The real question here is who is worse Nathan or cartman? I mean you're not gonna convince me there's no debate Nathan and cartman are two piece and a f***** u* pod

The red-haired kid looked like Droopy. That is the cartoon dog you were reminded of.
So messed up lol
I had to check! Mimsey. That's Rocksey and Bugsy. Bugs Bunny did some of the most evil things to a giant and midget gangster.
“Here, take this. On second thought, Mimsy, I think *I* better do the most important part of the plan.“ - How Nathan could’ve won
Thank you, captain hindsight!
Lake Titicaca is a real place in The Andes Mountains between Bolivia and Peru. Also the show you are thinking about which this episode parodied for Towelie's story is "Intervention".
At the end of the episode they document Towelie as being sober since April 26th, 2010. The episode aired on April 28th.
LOL 2 days sober

He maintained sobriety for several years until the player character in The Fractured But Whole made him relapse to win a boss fight.

@@samhilton4173 i'm pretty sure that's not true, if surf maybe but open water no, the salt in the sea makes you more buoyant.
That explains why sloths can swim so well despite being absolute klutzes on the ground.

100% agreed
Really cool idea

Trey and Matt are the only people that can show us that special people are just as human as the rest of us. They can be as good and as mean
Exactly I’m just happy they are at least showcasing those types of people in a fair way unlike other shows and movies.

God i love this one, all the crippled charecters are baced on loony toons charecters 😂
If you're ever looking for another Jimmy centric episode, "Sponsored Content" season 19 episode 8 shows some of Jimmy's malicious compliance side.
9:56 First time I got high, I said exactly that.
Yeah all the main disabled campers besides Timmy, Jimmy, Nathan, and Mimsy were plays on looney tunes characters, great catch
You should watch “Canada on Strike”
Super topical rn with the writers strike.
Truly one of the greatest episodes, great reaction
Now I realized why that disabled kids camp is called "Lake Tardicaca" instead of "Lake Tidicaca"and I disassociate myself😂😂😂
Computer duster does get you high, and when I’ve seen people do it, it’s almost like they go into a coma.
Fuck yea! One of my favorite episodes!! Towelie ftw!
I just watched this episode 4 days ago. 😂
Love your reactions!
Pretty sure the song was in Looney Toones. I forget but it may have been an exploding piano. So long ago.
The ghetto white kid was from TMI, WTF was the wrestling episode
8:57 this made me laugh so hard for some reason
Please watch the season 2 episode “Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!”
It’s one of those that’s so messed up it’s hilarious! 😂
Someone needs to write a crossover spin-off featuring the shenanigans of Towelie and Tyrone Biggums!

Yo I always hit that like buh-en 👍. Do the goth kids trilogy (Raisins, ungroundable & Goth kids 3 dawn of the posers)
