History Recap / SouthParkS17E10TheHobbit

* CondescendingCompassion: What pushes Wendy to move her campaign outside of South Park Elementary is Lisa telling the other cheerleaders during their routine not to take issue with Wendy being understandably gloomy, as it's not ''her'' fault no one likes her, which they back her up on.

* ComplimentBackfire: Kanye repeatedly tries to convince people that Kim is not a Hobbit, but he keeps drawing similarities to the point not even he is sure she's not one.

* TakeThat: Kim Kardashian is referred to as a [[Literature/TheHobbit hobbit]].

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Butters accidentally hurts Lisa's feelings by [[YouAreFatcalling her fat]] when she asks him out. He doesn't realize how much this remark hurt her until Wendy calls him out on it.

* HereWeGoAgain: The third act begins the same way as the first, with Wendy and Lisa’s roles reversed.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Well, she didn't exactly Photoshop her picture to do Lisa a favor, but Wendy did it to show Butters to demonstrate that what's seen in the photos isn't the real thing, which put Lisa in the position to date any guy she wanted. Unfortunately, this boosts Lisa's ego along with her confidence, leading to much of the drama seen in the episode.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: At the beginning of the episode, Wendy wanted Lisa Berger to gain confidence. When the latter actually does become more confident, she becomes an [[SmallNameBigEgo arrogant bitch]] who labels Wendy as a jealous hater whenever she tries to explain that Lisa's newfound popularity is for the wrong reasons.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Wendy did end up causing Lisa to gain more confidence in herself, but to such an extent she becomes an arrogant bitch and for the wrong reasons. [[FromBadToWorse Then the other girls get into it]].
