South Park: S8.E13 Cartman’s Incredible Gift

Fried Chicken Prophecies

I loved this one. Cartman jumps off a roof, lands on his head, and wakes up thinking he is psychic. That setup alone had me grinning.

The hospital scene is comedy gold. Two days asleep, and Cartman wants his face beard removed. Then he starts moaning about Kentucky Fried Chicken, and the cops think he is having a vision. I lost it there. A voodoo king predicting fried food – only Cartman.

Funniest of all, nobody questions him. The police keep falling for it, the fake psychics battle him with silly noises, and Kyle screams facts at adults who only trust magic. The serial killer stuff gets surprisingly dark, but it never loses the joke. The whole episode punches hard at psychics and the people who buy it.

8.5/10: Smart, mean, and stupid in the best way. This is top-tier Season 8 for me. I rewatched the vision bits twice.
