Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAR : Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut
"Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut" is episode 13 of Comedy Central's animated series South Park. This is part 1 of a two part episode; the second part is "Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut." It originally aired on February 25, 1998.
Plot
Cartman needs to find out who his father is but his mom is no help. Learning that his father could be one of the many people that his mom "had relations" with during an annual party called "The Drunken Barn Dance", he finds that there's more to his mother then he thought.
Based on everyone's best recollections of the time, candidates for the identity of Cartman's father are limited to Officer Barbrady, Chef, Jimbo, Ned, Mr. Garrison, Chief Running Water, Gerald Broflovski, Dr. Mephisto, Kevin, and the 1989 Denver Broncos. Dr. Mephisto is willing to perform DNA testing to resolve the issue, but requires $3,000 for the test. In the meantime, Kyle, Kenny, and Stan videotape Cartman having a tea party in his backyard with stuffed animals. They come up with the idea to send the video into America's Stupidest Home Videos for the chance to win $10,000. Cartman then approaches Kyle, Kenny, and Stan, with the depressing news about his lack of funds to find out his real father. Stan, Kenny, and Kyle agree that if they win the video contest they will give Cartman the $3,000 needed for the DNA testing. Cartman is overjoyed, but quickly becomes extremely angry after seeing the aired video. The narrator concludes the episode with a cliffhanging question "Who is Eric Cartman's father?"
The storyline was resolved in "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut."
Trivia
- America's Stupidest Home Videos is an obvious parody of America's Funniest Home Videos.
- In the background of Mr. Mackey's office it says Father and Son Day Coming Soon, Dads are Dandy and If You Don't Have a Dad, You're a Bastard, relating to Cartman's dilemma.
- When watching Bob Saget on America's Stupidest Home Videos, Kyle remarks that he is worse than the guy on Full House (Saget was a star on Full House).
- Weeks after the episode's premiere, Bob Saget was interviewed on The Daily Show with Craig Kilborn and made a comment about the statement in the episode (see above). Although he felt offended when he first heard it, he later indicated that he got the joke.
- Cartman's dolls go by the names of Clyde Frog, Peter Panda, Rumpertumskin and Polly Prissypants. They later appeared in episodes such as "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society."
- Cartman has a three-finger ring that reads "PIE."
- The Denver Broncos appearing in the episode are mentioned three times. Each time, it is a different team; one they are from 1989, once from 1991, and once the AFC champions.
- The title of the video with Kenny's death is first called "Young Child Gets Hit by a Train" to "Little Boy Being Hit by a Train."
- In a flashback, it shows Mr. Garrison making love to Mrs. Cartman. He had a full head of brown hair. As shown in the episode, "Weight Gain 4000", in a flashback to the talent contest, Mr. Garrison is seen with the same grey, parted hair.
