"The Wacky Molestation Adventure" is the 16th episode of Season 4 and the 64th episode overall of South Park.
Plot
The children of South Park decide to call the police by fake molesting their parents, claiming that they molested them, but suddenly it turns into a society that splits into two groups.
Not So Wacky Qualities
- Misleading title: This episode has nothing to do with wackiness, it focuses on children being brainwashed just to torture Mark Cotner and Linda Stotch.
- It contradicts the show's wacky and violent nature, where this episode comes out as too dark and violent.
- While Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius film came out a year and eight days later, it shared its premise based on children taking over the Earth while adults are gone due to an alien abduction from the Yolkians, but its execution handled well compared to this episode.
- Not only that, they even cooperate with children instead of brainwashing them to make them look horrible to defeat the Yolkians and rescue their parents.
- In fact, its premise does not connect to the show itself, since this episode features a dark tone with some mean-spirited moments, than a plot with "wacky" elements in it, as mentioned in NSWQ#1.
- The opening scene shows the kids going to the Raging Pussies concert, but Kyle cannot come because he is too young to watch it. This makes no sense considering that this concert is too inappropriate for children since they might get scared or get traumatized.
- Worse, Stan told Kyle that he was sleeping at Cartman's house, Cartman was sleeping at Kenny's house, and Kenny did not care while cannot say anything; meaning that their other parents do not care about how Raging Pussies is inappropriate for them, yet they still manage to come.
- This episode has PLENTY of plot holes:
- Kyle writes a letter for Fidel Castro while singing, but it is never explained how he gives it to him.
- Kyle's parents are mad at Kyle for making a democracy for Cuba, although they said to him before that he does it; which tells him that he did, even if they do not want it to.
- If Kyle gets mad at his parents for faking their requests, why can they just say sorry to him and not do this again, but still does not go to the Raging Pussies concert.
- When Kyle wishes that he did not have any parents for the second time, no one in the house would hear him shouting even though he is outside with his friends.
- While Eric Cartman has an explanation on how parents fake molest children by calling the police and saying that "they molested you", this is very illogical in real life as children do not call the police to arrest innocent people unless they call them for the criminals.
- During Kyle's parent's arrest, Sheila tells Kyle that he has to stay with his grandmother, but she has been dead for three years, despite his grandmother dying in 1999 in the episode, "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery".
- Kyle is not arrested nor kicked out while dancing half-naked in the Raging Pussies concert.
- The officers have no real evidence of how parents were molested by children, resulting in leaving their children alone just to create chaos.
- Stan and Cartman call the police to arrest Shelly and Cartman respectively, but they do not appear in the end for unknown reasons.
- In the second act, how do the children throw heavy objects outside of the town, which is shown when Stotch's parents observe Smiley Town?
- It is never explained why Cartman becomes a president after the real president is arrested in Canyon City Maximum Prison.
- It is never explained how Kenny dies in this act.
- How do the children survive without eating, drinking, or having proper hygiene?
- Because the children have no parents, they will suffer from hunger, thirst, and health, as well as succumbing to a suicidal path by the Provider.
- Missed Opportunities:
- Considering how this plot was treated, Kyle could have berated his parents and said sorry for tricking him into going to the Raging Pussies concert because he made a letter to Fidel Castro making democracy in Cuba rather than shouting them to not have parents and calls the police to fake molester them.
- The boys, except Kenny, could have included backstories of how they become brainwashed.
- It could have been more emotional scenes like what happened to the children when they had no parents for a few days instead of getting brainwashed and kidnapping Stotch's parents.
- Sure there are some emotional scenes in this episode, but it could have been added more.
- Shelly could have appeared at the end of this episode and said sorry to Stan for arresting his parents.
- The children, especially Stan, Kyle, and Cartman, are at their absolute worst as they brainwash and kidnap Stotch's family, due to the lack of parental care.
- Granted, Cartman's behavior is justifiable since his nature comes off as an antagonist, but it does not excuse for his actions, like his friends do.
- Kyle's parents are also unlikable for tricking Kyle in not going to the concert after making a democracy in Cuba. Fortunately, their behaviors shape up later on.
- Speaking of Kyle's parents, the viewers want to feel sorry for them for trolling. Granted, some parents can act this way even if they are nice, but they do this too far.
- The scene where Stan tells the children and Stotch's parents about molestation a long time ago is rather confusing.
- This is also Linda Stotch's very bad first impression due to children brainwashing her and Mark Stotch by kidnapping and succumbing to the Provider statute.
- The Provider statue, even though it has a plot to eliminate adults after saying the M-word, serves no purpose outside of advancing a plot.
- Kyle's line: I WISH I DID NOT HAVE ANY PARENTS!
- That line not only does insult people's parents but is also heard twice. That's right twice!
- In real life, saying a line like this would often cause parents to put siblings in trouble, even when the latter pointed out this and proved that they are innocent.
- Granted, Kyle has the right to get mad at his parents for trolling the request, by not bringing democracy to Cuba, but is it allowed to say this line in front of them just to leave the house for nothing? This makes Kyle a criminal (and shows that it is one of his absolute worst).
- Even Jimmy Neutron from that movie wishes that there are no more parents just to have fun, that line is better executed compared to this.
- While the ending is good, Shelly is nowhere to be found in this episode. She could have least say sorry to Stan for arresting her.
- This episode was made just to let the viewers think it is good, which is false due to how it got treated horribly.
- This proves that the viewers are aware of the concept instead of the entire premise, proving that they are troll users.
- The creators admitted it that it got good reviews because of their interest of Stephen King novels, explaining why they (viewers) love it instead of criticizing it. This implied that they took it for granted by showing how aware it was because they are fans of Stephen King (and to a lesser extent, William Golding), as well as the inspiration of Star Trek's Miri, rather than showing how terrible this quality of the episode is (like the characters and the torturous moments).
- What is even worse is that fans voted as "one of the best episodes" of Season 4 last summer 2013, despite how the premise got poorly treated.
- It would have been better if the episode got mixed reviews so that things would become fair and square.
- Because of how this episode got poorly treated, it feels like a horror show and parental cruelty or neglect combined all together than a legit South Park episode, thus making the whole thing pointless and not to mention, overhyped.
- It could have also been a sign of creator regret, but the viewers ignore it, just to make it "positive", which is not good considering how it is treated horribly.
- Because of this, A Very Crappy Christmas is the next episode after Fat Camp, not this; making this even more pointless.
Wacky Qualities
- Decent execution of Lord of the Flies and Children of the Corn concept, despite being poorly executed.
- The scene where Kyle writes a letter to Fidel Castro while singing a song (which itself is a parody of the "Blue Christmas" scene from The Year Without a Santa Claus) is heartwarming, sadly it is backfired by his parents by not letting him go to the Raging Pussies concert.
- The ending scene is also heartwarming, with parents reuniting with their children as a result of the latter calling the police to send the former free.
- Mark Cotner and Linda Stotch are likable characters in this episode.
- The parents and Mr. Evans are also likable characters too.
- Mark Cotner was right about children attempting to torture him and Linda because when they say the "M" word, they would get killed and he talks about how parents are providers. Children are aware of this and they are redeemed at that time.
- The scene where Mr. Evans teaches the parents to stop molesting children is a decent scene.
- At the end of the episode, the kids want to build a snow igloo since they "kick ass" is funny, despite being pointless.
- Good Morals:
- It is important too have parents since they are vital and they can learn lessons.
- Being selfish is not a good thing to do, be generous to your family, friends, and strangers.
- Lying and making false accusations are not good things since they would put them into trouble for doing them. Call the police to arrest criminals who are doing crimes and tell the truth instead.
Trivia
- This is the first appearance of Linda Stotch, the mother of Butters Stotch.
- Trey Parker and Matt Stone were fans of Stephen King at that time before making this episode. While Lord of the Flies was not published by Stephen King (it was published by William Golding), they were also fans of it too.
- While not directly referenced, Inspection Detection, Ruled Out, and The Grass Is Greener (all three of them were from The Fairly OddParents) featured morals related to responsible parenting.
