"Probably" is episode 411 of the Comedy Central series South Park. It originally aired on July 26, 2000. It is the second part of a two-part episode, the first being "Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?"
Plot
In this episode, the South Park children build a church to live in sinlessness, and do not go to school, avoid home as much as possible, and listen earnestly to Cartman, who acts like a televangelist-esque preacher. Meanwhile, Kenny calls from Ensenada, Mexico (about 60 miles south of Tijuana on the Baja California peninsula) where the bus he was run over by dragged him and which he thinks is hell, and tells about the "Underworld" for Cartman's sermons.
Meanwhile, in the real Hell, Satan sleeps with Saddam. He then tells Chris about what happened. Chris forgives Satan, which actually upsets Satan more. Satan screams at Chris saying that he wishes that he would at least be angry at what happened. Then, Chris and Saddam keep getting into fights, which lead to the two murdering each other; nevertheless, they keep reappearing in Hell to kill each other again, and Satan wonders if he should go with Saddam, who he finds sexually attractive, or Chris, who is kinder. A little girl in Hell [#endnote_Ramsey] suggests that he ask God for help.
Satan goes and sees God in Heaven (which is occupied solely by Mormons); God calls Satan a pussy himself for complaining about such a problem, saying to him, "You got kicked out of here for being a headstrong rebel. And now you're a whiny little bitch." God further tells Satan that he should dump them both and try to learn to appreciate himself before he tries to find a relationship.
Back in South Park, Cartman reveals to Stan and Kyle that he, in fact, only opened the church to con kids out of money, and not out of religious fervor. Sister Anne then manages to disband Cartman's church by having Jesus come and close it. As punishment for his sins, Cartman is sent somewhere worse than Hell, Mexico. A similar event happens in Hell, when even after Satan explains his intent to be single, Saddam continues to harass him, the Devil reveals that he has "Asked an old friend for a favor", and Saddam is forced to go live up in Heaven with the Mormons. This, to him, is Hell.
Footnote
- ↑ It has been suggested that this little girl is JonBenét Ramsey because of the South Park girl's big, blonde Ramsey-like hairdo. Perhaps in a nod to the limits of bad taste, South Park's Ramsey has a cartoon face, as opposed to a photograph of a real face, as the real-life adults do who are in South Park's Hell.
Trivia
- It's interesting that Kenny thinks that he's in Hell when he is in Mexico. He went to Hell in [[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]].
- This is the third episode in which Kenny does not die in regularly, before Season 7.
- Since it is revealed in this episode that Kenny did not actually die in the previous episode, this is the second time Kenny hasn't died for two episodes in a row.
- During the "previously on South Park" segment at the beginning of the episode, a reference is made to the infamous Happy Days moment when Fonzie jumped the shark. The only difference is on Happy Days, Fonzie makes the landing but on South Park, Fonzie falls short and is devoured by sharks.
- When Saddam turns on the TV to show gay porno, the creators originally put in a full hardcore penetration clip. Naturally, the clip was removed. The creators commented they really put it in for laughs. However, they got the rights to show the clip from the gay porn director, who was a fan of the show.
