So the kids have to think about how to get Internet money.
And how are we going to get Internet money and send to send it to Canada to end the strike?
Hard cut to Butters recreating the what what in the butt viral video from 2006 or something.
I don't I don't know if people remember this.
It was just it's like a song where he says what what in the butt.
So classic.
But it's just Butters recreating each scene, and I gotta say, this is the most Family Guy shit ever.
Like, you just had a scene trying to dunk on Family Guy.
What if Peter Griffin performed for Paul McCartney and did La Cucaracha?
I don't know, at least that's an original idea.
Like, at least that's something.
It's like you're doing a scene, like, I mean, isn't there a, isn't there a joke where Peter Griffin does like my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard?
Like that's, that's like all you're doing here.
Just something that would have been viral, right?
So they could have even done like a, I would have taken a jackass montage, you know, where they just like, I don't know, being like, just throwing them in a grocery cart and kicking them in the balls.
That would have had the same like, you know, function idea, but it would have been funnier.
But this is like a direct, um, just copy of it.
It's really interesting.
Yeah, I mean, the joke manatees, as they were, would find new joke balls to float up to the surface.
These guys are just like, hey, that groundhog turning around.
You thought it was funny.
Let's do it three times on our show.
The Star Wars kid who was cyberbullied.
Wouldn't it be funny if he was here doing the exact same thing?
We can make it.
I just, yeah, like write, actually write jokes.
Don't just include other content in your episode and present it as your own thing.
It's so funny because you could ease.
This would be like actually funny.
If it was the original South Park animation trying to do a groundhog turning around shocked and it just looked like shit, that would be that would be funny.
But because the animation has advanced so much, it's like an even more detailed version of the groundhog turning around.
Yeah the the what what in the butt I mean it just is they just take the song which was hey that's a fun song but I but yeah they're just like wouldn't it be funny to have butters in it because everybody calls butters gay all the time so they make him sing about putting stuff in his butt and you want to do me in my butt in my butt but it is I mean it's a catchy song but I not also I think they
I believe I read that on the same wiki page too about how they got the, I think the writer of What What In The Butt sued them over it.
And their response was like, we gave you exposure.
This made people even more aware of it.
I mean, I don't know if that should be copyright infringement.
I think you should be able to like parody whatever you want in your own creative writing.
But it wasn't funny.
It wasn't it wasn't even a parody.
It was just redoing the same song.
Yeah.
Also, as we alluded to in this universe, we are going to we are going to meet other viral characters.
So if those viral characters exist in this universe, wouldn't this original one exist in this universe, too?
Hmm.
Yeah.
We didn't hear from him.
Did Butters in-universe steal from what what in the butt then?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think they can at least at least two Butters.
Yeah.
It's kind of like Marty McFly inventing rock and roll in front of us.
Yeah.
So the Canadians, they're not doing too well.
They're, again, just like laying on the ground on the steps of, I don't know, the Canadian capital or wherever it is.
And they're watching the news and they're like, soon the news is going to they've got to cover our strike because people care about this.
We're so important.
They have to cover it.
But instead, the news just covers Butters video.
And I don't know if this I don't know if I'm reading to too much into this, but like the idea that.
It seems to be a joke, like, no, the news doesn't fucking care about your petulant little strike.
You're not important.
Your lack of labor isn't doing anything.
And it's like, no, the reason the news doesn't cover strikes is the exact opposite.
It's because they don't want anybody else to get ideas.
They don't want other people So it's just like they're on your side.
That's why they don't cover the strike is because I mean, I guess they agree.
You know, they agree with you.
You just maybe don't know the exact reason.
Well, in the news bureaus for major networks like NBC and ABC, they are much more under control of management.
Like they're not going to talk bad about like, for instance, they just did the upfronts for a lot of the networks presenting like here's upcoming TV shows, which obviously is difficult to do when most actors are also respecting the picket line.
So what do they do?
They get the news hosts to do it.
And they have the hosts of whatever their morning news shows are say, and here's what the upcoming TV shows are like.
That's because when they fall under news, they just cross the line.
They wouldn't think of not going to it because they also tell themselves they're very important journalists.
Uh, but, but yeah, this, I mean, this, this stance too, is like them saying, Oh, the self-important WGA.
They think there'll be mentioned on the news all the night time, but we were all alive in 07, 08.
Like there was, they were constantly talking about like, yeah, this TV show is still not back yet because of the strike.
Like it was, people talked about it all the time.
Help us do the show for only five bucks a month, and you'll get two bonus episodes every week, including a live stream with listeners every Saturday.
