Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe vote for class president parodies the 2000 US presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. Notable similarities include the inconclusive results, endless demands for recounts, the "absentee voters", controversy concerning unclear voting ballots, alleged nepotism by a candidate's family member (in that case George Bush's brother Jeb Bush), and the ensuing legal action through lawyers. The indecisive student with the deciding vote is named Flora, a reference to Florida having the decisive electoral votes but being too close to call for several weeks.
- GoofsBill Cosby (the robot dude) is missing his arm throughout most of the episode, but he manages to start the police car with his good hand on the steering wheel.

Most Amusing South Park Episode I've Ever Seen
Among the many episodes I have seen of South Park, this particular episode was one of the most I favor. It seems that this episode spoofs and/or parodies a few notable sci-fi films, which I think works in terms of making it work out in the main storyline.
So, Cartman owns a new electronic device called the Trapper Keeper, but when a cyborg (identifying himself as "Bill Cosby") from the future travels back in time to South Park and warns the boys that the Trapper Keeper will become self-aware and overrun humanity in later years, they must stop it before chaos begins. However, Cartman refuses to let go of the Trapper Keeper, thus making it difficult for them to save humanity.
It felt like "The Terminator" meets "Akira" and a small hint of "2001: Space Odyssey" which I think is the best combination of films I have ever seen well-executed. I found the episode to be one of my personal favorites.
