Plot
This episode begins in a manner very similar to the first-ever episode, Cartman Gets an Anal Probe, with Cartman arriving and talking about a dream where he was abducted by aliens. When the children realize this, they and Chef decide to do something about the anal probe Cartman has; they first see a proctologist, then a scientist. They discover the probe is sending off pictures of Earth into space; then a group of Visitors show up, and the children and Chef flee. The children are ultimately abducted, though.
The kids wake up on the ship, and meet an alien who looks like Stan's dad. Complaining that that was like the movie Contact, which "sucks," they have him go through a series of transformations until he becomes a taco that craps out ice cream. The alien then explains he and the other aliens make a reality show called Earth, which Chef and the scientists discover at the same time on Earth; they proceed to tell everyone, which leads the alien network heads to cancel the show and prepare to destroy the Earth.
The boys go to meet the alien heads, who are "Joozians," a species that control all media in the Universe. The aliens don't listen to the boys, but insist on taking them to lunch, a "hekmabah" (strip club), then get a prostitute's hotel room. The two Joozians then, very drunk and high on "glach," begin sucking on each others' "jagons." Kenny takes a picture of it, and the boys then blackmail the aliens with it. The Joozians agree to erase everyone's memory of the truth about Earth, then send the oblivious boys back to their own planet.
Quotes
- Taco Alien: Well, you don't think the whole universe works the way Earth does, do you? No! One species, one planet! There's a planet of deer, a planet of Asians, and so on! We put them all together on Earth and the whole universe tunes in to watch the fun!
- Joozian 2: You've made it to a hundred episodes, you should be proud!
Joozian 1: Yeah, a show should never go past a hundred episodes, or else it starts to get stale with ridiculously stupid plotlines and settings.
- Stan (seeing the aliens suck each others' "jagons"): Dude, I have no idea what we're seeing right now, but I have a feeling it's really, really wrong.
