Warning do not read unless seen episode.

This is another one of my favorite episodes and it's one of the ones I feel Cartman is at his best; though due to his constant foul behavior you can say worst.

I really love the plot line, it is practically the epitome of Cartman's selfishness and vanity as it's about him purchasing a theme park all for himself. Of coruse he wants it for himself so that he would simply never have to wait in line anymore, which is understandable I fraking hate lines too; but still I can't really enjoy going to a theme park without friends or a girlfriend. Though it doesn't matter to Cartman as he has no empathy for other people's feelings. What really cracks me up is how he is just enjoying himself so much having time to himself in this theme park, but also that he has made a commercial which is a cruel tease, in a way you can say it's a bit of a commentary on people unable to afford to go to theme parks overpriced.

I really like Kyle's plot line as he is having a crisis in faith, which is understandable it's much like with all of us at some point. Kyle questioning really makes sense as Cartman being a cruel selfish non virtuous person is being rewarded while Kyle whom is a devout follower and has done his best to follow in the good examples is being punished by having a hemorrhoid; I can emphasize with the questioning it really makes no damn sense sometimes people that are awful to others or practically scum of the Earth getting unpunished and get rewarded for it despite not earning their keep, how is that fair? There is also a moment when Kyle's parents try to reaffirm his faith by telling him the story of Jobe which is probably the worst possible choice; really you couldn't of chosen any other story that is actually uplifting. And we see Kyle's morale after that story just goes down the gutter, I really like Kyle's commentary about that story which is true it really doesn't make any sense.

However as an old saying goes about Karma "what goes around comes around" as Cartman is about to learn the hard way that nothing in life is free, I'll admit it really put a smile on my face as we see Cartman has to start dealing with reality. In the end you could say in Kyle's perspective what happened to Cartman was a miracle.
