History Recap / SouthParkS16E1ReverseCowgirl

* BaitTheDog: When Clyde's mother reappears as an ghost, she appears to have TookALevelInKindness without showing any hint of rudeness and even points out that the attorney is an scam-artist, immediately after, she goes back to being rude and unpleasant to her own son, then proceeds to blame him for her death.

* EveryoneHasStandards: A DeletedScene has everyone ([[EvenEvilHasStandards even Cartman]]) being visibly appalled at [[SpeakIllOfTheDead Butters insensitively bringing up how Clyde unintentionally killed his mom]] and [[DudeNotFunny Jimmy cracking a joke about it.]]

* HateSink: A variant where a character wasn't one before, but becomes one. The writers made it glaringly obvious that you are supposed to feel bad for Clyde and not Betsy. She's an InsufferableImbecile who emotionally abuses her own son for putting up the toilet seat, makes him put it up rather than doing it herself, says that she could've been more strict on him than actually apologizing for her bad behavior, (indirectly) causes more misery for Clyde by people blaming him, and to top it all off, she blames him for being the ENTIRE cause of her death, even though it's mostly her fault for not checking if the toilet seat was up and blindly sitting on it with Clyde having smaller part in it. Is it no wonder that he decided to disrespect her at the end?

* KickTheDog: A lot of people, including Clyde's mom ''herself'', blames Clyde for the death of his mother, even saying that "her blood is on his wiener."

* LaserGuidedKarma: As a result of being an complete asshole towards Clyde, [[KarmicDeath Betsy dies from the very habit her son does]] (although Clyde didn't intentionally mean to kill her), gets her life savings wasted by an scam from an AmoralAttorney, and finally, [[LastDisrespects her own son decides to put up the toilet seat]] and begins FlippingTheBird at her from beyond the grave.
* NeverMyFault: Both genders. The women place the blame solely on the men for not putting toilet seats down, and the men blame the women for not checking that the seat's down in the first place. In the end they decide the blame must belong to the guy who invented toilets in the first place, who then blames all of them for using his invention the wrong way.
