Cartman is inspired to get fit by a commercial touting Weight Gain 4000,
but he doesn't exercise, so he just gets fat. He ends up the winner of the "Save
Our Fragile Planet" contest, and Wendy investigates this travesty. Kathie
Lee Gifford comes to town to award Cartman, but Mr. Garrison has some issues
with her. |

| Trivia |
- This is the first episode where Mr. Hat appears to be a separate
entity from Mr. Garrison.
- Although this was the third South Park broadcasted, this episode
was the second one to be made, and is nearly always shown second on
re-runs.
- "It is…too late for me, young Wendy" was paraphrased from Darth Vader in Star Wars, Return of the Jedi, where Luke tries to bring his father
back from the Dark Side.
- Mr. Hat's spinning head echoes that from the movie The Exorcist.
- The classroom blackboard has a series of Spanish vulgarities written
on it, which roughly translate as: "Suck my tits", "Don't touch my
eggs (testicles)" and "My stick (dick) is ugly and brown".
- Kathie Lee Gifford singing "If They Could See Me Now" is a parody of her singing the same song in real life in Carnival Cruise Lines commercials.
- This is the first episode made with computer animation instead of the earlier construction paper techniques.
- Mr. Hat and Mr. Garrison arguing over killing Gifford is a parody of many books and films where the ventriloquist has multiple personality disorder and argues with his puppet, including Magic.
- When conversing with Officer Barbrady, Mr. Garrison's gun stock changes from wood to metal, then back to wood again in the following scene.
