    Whatevah I do what I want!
    Freak Strike is a fairly funny South Park episode.It features one of my favorite sayings from Cartman, which is "Whatevah I do what I want".The boys see that you can get prizes on the Maury Povich show.The topic is "freaks" so they place a fake set of testicles on Butters chin and make him pretend he's a freak so he can get a prize for them.The prize is that Butters can go to the largest putt-putt golf course in the world, however the boys do not get to come. The next topic on Maury is out of control teens, so Cartman pretends to be an out of control teen in hopes he will get a prize(this is a very hilarious scene).Meanwhile, the other freaks are protesting that they are not getting enough pay.This is a fairly good episode with a very funny scene and one of my favorite quotes from Cartman.
