Plot
The boys are waiting at the bus stop when
Cartman notices
Stan has a black eye. As it turns out, his sister
Shelley has been beating him up and he doesn’t know what to do. Kyle has problems of his own, as
his mom won’t let him keep his new pet elephant in the house. At school,
Mr. Hat teaches the class about
genetic engineering, which prompts Kyle to decide to crossbreed his elephant with Cartman’s pot-bellied pig, Fluffy, to make little "pot-bellied elephants". Upon hearing this
Terrance bets Kyle that he can clone a whole person before Kyle can get a pot-bellied elephant. Thus, the cloning war begins.
Mr. Garrison suggests the boys use their genetic modifications for the upcoming science fair and that Kyle and crew should check out the genetic engineering ranch outside of town. Mr. Garrison then asks Stan to stay after class talk to about his black eye. When Stan explains that bruise is from his sister, Mr. Garrison calls him a wimp and sends him home.
Once at home, Shelley again beats up Stan and throws him out the window, where the guys are waiting for him. They head off for the South Park Genetic Engineering Ranch.
While at the ranch, Dr. Mephisto shows them his genetically engineered collection, including several monkeys with multiple asses. Mephisto then explains that, just like the Loverboy song says, "pig and elephant DNA just won’t splice." He then steals a blood sample from Stan and the boys flee.
Back at school the boys learn Terrance has cloned a human foot. The boys go to
Chef with their genetic engineering problem, and after he too cites the Loverboy song, he gives them the idea to try to have the animals "make sweet love" to breed. Stan goes home and gets beaten up by Shelley again.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mephisto and his assistant have created a human clone of Stan for Terrance (Mephisto’s son)'s science project. The boys attempt to get the pig and the elephant drunk to get them to make sweet love, but it doesn’t seem to be working until Chef stops by and sings to the animals with a little help from Elton John.
The cloned Stan breaks free from Mephisto's ranch and proceeds to terrorize the town. The boys eventually find the clone and take it to Stan’s house and convince it to attack Shelley, which it does after destroying the house and indirectly killing Kenny. Mephisto shows up and shoots the clone, but Stan is afraid he’ll be in trouble for everything the clone did, but Shelley, in a brief moment of kindness, takes the heat (after which she beats up Stan again).
When the science projects are due Terrance presents a five assed monkey, but Kyle has nothing until the pig gives birth to a pot-bellied pig that looks like Mr. Garrison. Garrison quickly awards it first prize over Terrance's five-assed monkey.
Kenny's Death
- The Stan Clone knocks Kenny into a microwave with a chair, cooking him.
Trivia
Template:Wikiquote
- This episode is also known as "An Elephant Fucks a Pig".
- The scene where Pip asks the boys what's for lunch (and the boys telling him off) was from the unaired plot from "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe". The reason for this is that the scene was originally part of the pilot, but was cut for time and then inserted into this episode.
- This episode contains one of the first mentions of Cartman's mom's promiscuity. It also sheds a little light on Cartman's bad behavior, which possibly stems from sexual abuse by his mom (such as being forced to dress like a mailman and dance for her while she smokes crack and has sex with strangers).
- In the middle of the episode, when Shelley throws Stan on the floor, you will see Stan in a puddle of water even though he landed on dry carpet. The reason why it is there is because Shelley had originally lit a match and set Stan on fire. Then she douses him in water in regret, which explains the appearance of the puddle. When Comedy Central got this episode to air, they asked Trey and Matt to cut this piece out, because there have been real life cases of children setting other children on fire with lit matches, and the censors didn't want South Park to get in trouble for promoting such an act the way Beavis and Butthead did in its early years.
- The "Garrison-faced pig" from this episode is included with the South Park series 2 Mr. Garrison action figure by Mezco Toyz.
- Dr. Mephisto is revealed in this episode to be a Buddhist, as he exclaims "Oh, thank Buddha I found you boys!".
- Cartman's closing line in this episode, "That'll do, pig." is a reference to the 1995 movie Babe.
- Elton John's voice in the song "Love Gravy" was actually provided by Trey Parker. Elton John's first true appearance on the show was in episode 214, "Chef Aid".
- It should be noted that when the class is shown, Wendy Testaburger is not shown. However, when the class comes toward the cage where the pigs are shown, Wendy appears.
Goofs
- Despite his death by getting nuked in the microwave, Kenny is shown twice in class during the school science projects near the end.
- The first prize badge on Fluffy's cage appears before Garrison awards it.
