Hold onto something. A film about a disaster becomes Cartman's excuse to be cruel, and the episode indicts the excuse.

Celebrity chaos. Play sends the paper cutouts through a different gag every press. Stop drops it.

Scored against what aired. The wild card is allowed to be wrong and it will be dramatic about it.

Filed while the cabinet was already yelling: A film about a disaster becomes Cartman's excuse to be cruel, and the episode indicts the excuse.

Hit. The S12E08 ticket was feral before the credits.

Character call, shouted: Cartman makes one choice that the town punishes out of proportion.
