The kids learn that Talk Shows offer special assistance
to grossly disfigured people who appear on their show. They immediatly
sign Butters up as a guest with a a strange deformity. With the help
of some strategic physical enhancement, Butters is sure to beat out all
the other freaks and win a prize. However, when there isn't enough of
Butters' prize to go around Cartman makes a bid for his own guest spot
with Maury when he talks him mom into joining him on the segment entitled, "Please
Help My Out of Control Child" |

| Trivia |
- When Cartman is convincing his mom to take him on the Maury Povich
show, he repeats something similar to "I have the prettiest mom,
the nicest mom," over and over. This is a quote from 'The Bad
Seed', a 1956 film whose main subject is a murderous little girl who
says these same lines to her mother throughout the film
- Vanity: "You ain't bad. You ain't nothing.": This
line comes from Michael Jackson's "Bad" (full
version). In the full version video, Jackson plays Darryl, a hoodlum
who gets straightened out after he goes to private school. Darryl goes
home on a break and sees his hoodlum friends. They try to convince
him to become "bad" again and Darryl doesn't want to. They
keep pressuring him, and he yells, "You ain't bad, you ain't nothing".
- Cartman: "I ran for congress and won. Then I had sex with an intern,
killed her, and hid her body. What-eva! I'll do what I want!":
This is a reference to congressman Gary Condit, who dated an intern
named Chandra Levy. Chandra disappeared and was later found dead. Gary
Condit was the prime suspect.
- Mr. Thompson (from Episode 510 "How To Eat With Your Butt")
makes a cameo appearance during the "video sabatoge."
- Nurse Gollum from the Episode 205 "Cojoined Fetus Lady" also
makes a cameo appearance in this episode.
- "A Terrible Skin Condition": In this case, vitiligo,
a skin condition in which a person loses his pigment so he ends up
looking
something like a cow. Michael Jackson claims to have this condition,
which explains why he's so much whiter now than he was 20 years ago.
