This episode shows the typical ways of Cartman and also how south park is a bit inflated by Simpsons? I noticed while watching this episode, one normal person that has always been really nice to people and never do anyone harm end up like a wild person. In the Simpsons episode "Strong arms of the ma" Marge starts using steroids and she ends up bigger and stronger then everyone else, just like jimmy she begins to hit people and in that scene where Jimmy/Marge turns on their closest friend.

Both south park choose to have the song "Barber - Adagio For Strings Op" The song is soothing and yet at the same time it sounds like a sad song, and with the panic in the other voices it really sets the mood. I just fell in love with this song and it seems like both Simpsons and South park did.

I think its pretty clear where South park got this idea with the steroids. But who knows, maybe South park was first after all?
