        Eric Cartman: You're the worst character ever Towelie.

        Towelie: I know.

      • Alternate versions
        In the original broadcast the "fake commercial" featured Comedy Central's actual phone number (1-800-4-COMEDY). But in all reruns and the DVD version it was changed to a fake number (1-800-555-TOWL).

      10/10
      9 or a 10. Introducing Towelie arguably one of the greatest side characters and also being a strong episode.
      The introduction to Towelie is memorable and hilarious. The episode makes it about Towelie is still captures all the magical aspects of a complete South Park episode. I first had it as a 9, if not 9.5... But you know what, why not 10? It's a full complete smart South Park comedy gold episode AND a introductionary episode to freaking Towelie. Classic. Great job to Matt and Trey.
