Cartman is once again upset with South Park Elementary. This time, he’s angry with the fact the school posted the size of all the students’ private parts. So Cartman, being Cartman, measures all of the boys for himself to prove the school posted the wrong measurements. However, Cartman learns the numbers were how much the students have grown (in height) since the last physical.
Cartman Has Small Private Parts
As a result of Cartman’s investigation, he is sent to anger management. After the measurements have taken place, we all learn that Cartman is not so big “down there.” However, neither are all of the other people in anger management, including Stan’s dad Randy.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are comparing somebody’s anger frequency to the size of their nether regions. Throughout the episode, they keep telling people they are alright with their size, but clearly they feel insecure when they start getting angry over the dumbest things.
Randy Teaches South Park Students
After Cartman posts the sizes of the boys, Randy is sent to educate the kids about what is going on. However, he introduces them to an adjusted size formula, also known as T.M.I. Randy uses this formula to make himself appear bigger.
The Surgeon General releases a statement that says the national average of length on the T.M.I. scale is now 1.5 inches. Everyone in the anger management class is completely satisfied with themselves and begin to sing.
Parker and Stone haven’t hit on a shocking new revelation, but it does seem accurate as to why some people get so angry over a lot of mundane things.
This episode was constructed way better than “Royal Pudding.” The entire episode was devoted to how angry men with small private parts can get. There was not a second storyline that completely strayed from the main storyline. The whole episode tied together very nicely.
“T.M.I.” had its funny moments, especially at the end when Randy and the anger management class are alright with being small since they are now above average on the T.M.I. scale.
The season has started off well so far, but we are definitely missing an episode featuring Stan. All of the episodes have focused on Kyle, Cartman or another character. Stan is the only one of the main four (besides Kenny, who doesn’t get that many episodes featured about him anyway) to have him as the star of the episode.
Next week, be prepared to see more about Stan.
