"Cartman's Mom Is Still a Dirty Slut" is the 15th episode of "South Park" which aired on April 22, 1998. It is part two of a two-episode storyline, which concludes "Cartman's Mom Is a Dirty Slut". This episode was originally scheduled to be the premiere of Season Two. However, because that day was April Fools Day in 1998, the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, decided to air a completely irrelevant Terrance and Phillip episode, which upset many viewers, but the episode finally aired three weeks later. It was voted #5 of "10 South Parks that changed the world".

Plot summary

Right as Mephesto is about to announce who Cartman's father is, the electricity goes out, the room is darkened, and two gunshots are fired. As the lights come back on, everyone discovers that Mephesto has been shot, which raises the question: Who shot Mephesto? (questions like this are comically asked throughout the episode by a narrator, examples being "Who built the pyramids?", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", and "Who the hell made Jimbo boss?") Chef feels his pulse, sees that he is still alive and rushes him to the hospital.

Upon entering the hospital, they meet Dr. Doctor, and a nurse with no arms named Nurse Goodley; they are the only ones working in the hospital. Meanwhile, back in town, the "America's Most Wanted" crew shows up, wanting to base an episode on Mephesto's shooting mystery. Eventually, they run through auditions for Mephesto, Chef, Officer Barbrady, Mr. Garrison, and Kevin to play out a reenactment. Mr. Garrison auditions for himself, but is rejected.

In the hospital, Dr. Doctor finally manages to get Mephesto on a life support system, but has many other patients to tend to. Outside, a terrible snowstorm brews, preventing any other doctors from getting to the hospital.

While shooting the reenactment for "America's Most Wanted", a tree falls on the power line causing the power to go out. All of the adults are now stuck in a little building until the storm lets up. After only a few minutes, Jimbo comes up with the reckless solution of cannibalism in order to stay alive, since no one has had any food in hours. They choose to eat Eric Roberts first (since "nobody gives a shit about Eric Roberts"), who played Kevin in the re-enactment, and later the rest of the production crew (who in fact opposed the very idea).

The power also goes out back in the hospital. Regardless, a plan must be made to put it back on. Dr. Doctor suggests that they split into two teams: team A, consisting of everyone in the room except Kenny and team B, consisting of Kenny.

Kenny's job is to go out, go through the icy sewers, avoiding velociraptors along the way to the generator and reconnect the generator, while Team A's "job" is to go upstairs to a lounge, watch television, and drink hot cocoa, with Dr. Doctor giving advice to Kenny via walkie-talkie (in other words, Kenny has to do all the work himself). Kenny later learns that there is a nice, heated path to the generator, but, to his annoyance, only after arriving. Once Kenny gets to the generator, he discovers that there is no wire connecting the cords, so he decides to make the connection himself to restore the electricity, electrocuting himself in the process.

While all of these events are unfolding, Mrs. Cartman, not feeling as responsible as a mother, goes to an unplanned parenthood clinic seeking an abortion. After being told that it is too late for her to have an abortion, Mrs. Cartman decides to try to change the law by sleeping with her Congressman, the Governor, and even President Bill Clinton. It is after finally legalizing 40th trimester abortions when she learns what an abortion actually is, and that she had the word "abortion" confused with "adoption". Upon realizing her mistake, she decides to tell her son about the whole truth.

Thanks to Kenny, the power is back on at the hospital so Mephesto can survive. Upon hearing that he had been shot, he explains that his brother tries to shoot him every month, and he is sure he is responsible for the shooting. Meanwhile, the survivors of the cannibalism escape from the building they were trapped in. Mephesto gathers with everyone in the emergency room to finally reveal Eric Cartman's father.

The answer: Mrs. Cartman. The group is shocked upon hearing this. Mrs. Cartman is an intersex person/hermaphrodite, meaning she has both male and female genitals. She actually ended up getting another woman pregnant, who gave birth to Eric, which prompts the narrator's final question: Who is Cartman's mother? Cartman however, exasperated by the events of this episode, refuses to pursue the issue further.

Notes

* Right after Mephesto was shot, Kenny proclaims the famous line (Albeit slightly muffled), but about Mephesto: "Oh my god! They killed Mephesto!", with Kyle quickly adding "You bastards!".

References to pop culture

* Kenny's journey to restore power parallels "Jurassic Park".
* In this episode we hear Cartman's version of "Come Sail Away" by Styx, which later can be heard on "", although here, Cartman sings it in a fast manner and says "lads" instead of "you guys" as in the Chef Aid version.
* Chef tells the boys not to let Mephesto bleed on his Meredith Baxter Birney memorial towel.
* After "America's Most Wanted" loses feed with the crew due to the snowstorm, they switch programming to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
* When asked if he had any medical experience, Chef tells the doctor he used to watch "Quincy".
* The song that plays towards the end of the episode when the townspeople are emerging from the snowed-in studio is "Ave Maria" by Aaron Neville.
* The straw scene is a reference to a deleted scene from Trey Parker's student film "Cannibal! The Musical". [ [http://www.cannibalthemusical.net/video.shtml Cannibal! The Musical Video ] ]
