History Recap / SouthParkS17E10TheHobbit

** Also Cartman's reaction to Kanye West being the class's guest speaker.

* CannotTellFictionFromReality: A variant in that everyone thinks photoshopped pics are the real things. What kicks off this episode is Butters thinking a picture of Kim Kardashian from a magazine is what she really looks like.

Wendy Testaburger’s latest protest (this time, about how Photoshop is used to make female models and celebrities look better on magazines and print material) gets her in trouble when she plays matchmaker with a new girl.

* TheGhost: Kim Kardashian is often referred and spoken to, but never actually seen or heard in the episode (outside of small image of her).

* InformedDeformity: Wendy lists the various imperfections of herself, Stan, and other boys and girls, which are not visible because of the animation style. And Jason, who has an obvious physical flaw ([[PrematurelyBald a prematurely receding hairline]]) doesn't get called out for that flaw. Instead, Wendy says he has freckles, which he does not.

* 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 landed her (Lisa) a date with him. Unfortunately, this boosts Lisa's confidence along with her ego, leading to much of the drama seen in the episode.

** Then Mr Mackey blasts ''her'' for doing the same to prove her point.

* BlatantLies : Mr. Mackey threatens to send Wendy to ‘Jelly School’. Of course, Wendy does not fall for it.

%%* EasilyCondemned: Everyone is quick to believe that Wendy is a hater and treat her like a pariah throughout the episode.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Wendy shows Butters a demonstration of Photoshop to show how girls like Lisa can be altered to destroy girls’ self-image, but Butters becomes convinced she really looks like that and falls in love with her. Which then expands to fucking ''everyone'', who act as if the Photoshop images are the real thing, despite interacting with the people with the Photoshopped people who clearly look different from the pictures.

* BreatherEpisode: Somewhat. Although dramatic, it's far more tame than the previous epic trilogy.

* BoomerangBigot: In-Universe. Wendy's method of arguing against body shaming and society's definition of beauty is to resort to body shaming as well. This results in everyone just writing her off as a hater, especially when they hear her doing so without context.
* ButNotTooBlack: InUniverse. When the girls go to the gym to Photoshop themselves to look better, Nichole is seen drastically lightening her complexion.

* {{Jerkass}}: The cheerleaders. They call Wendy a hater and treat her like crap.

* InformedFlaw: Wendy lists the various imperfections of herself, Stan, and other boys and girls, which are not visible because of the animation style. And Jason, who has an obvious physical flaw ([[PrematurelyBald a prematurely receding hairline]]) doesn't get called out for that flaw. Instead, Wendy says he has freckles, which he does not.

* ContinuityNod: Butters' love for Kim Kardashian from ‘The Tale of Scrotie [=McBoogerballs=]’ returns.
** NegativeContinuity: Kim was also murdered by the end of ''Scrotie [=McBoogerballs=]''. [[SnapBack Not that it matters]].
* DownerEnding: Wendy's efforts to expose photo-manipulation for dictating unrealistic beauty standards only serves to make it more popular until [[spoiler: she's finally guilt-tripped into Photoshopping herself to look like the exact kind of unrealistic bombshell she was trying to speak out against.]]

* OhCrap: Wendy when Mr. Mackey and the students catch her pointing out everyone’s imperfections.
-->'''Wendy:''' God damn it!

-->'''Cartman''': [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Uh oh!]]

* RightlySelfRighteous: Deconstructed. Wendy’s very blunt approach to explain the problems with Photoshop only leads everyone to miss the point and think she is "jelly", especially since no-one actually feels insecure when looking at the PSed pictures after getting one too. By the end of the episode Wendy just gives up and conforms.
* RunningGag: Wendy being called ‘jel’, ‘jelly’, and a hater.

* WhatTheHellHero: Wendy blasts Butters for calling Lisa Berger fat.

** The second occurs when Wendy becomes angry at Stan for asking her to Photoshop herself and starts ranting at him, pointing out the various physical imperfections of herself and her schoolmates, including the cheerleaders. . . just as they happen to walk in and overhear her.

* TheGhost: Kim Kardashian is often referred and spoken to, but never actually seen or heard in the episode.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Wendy caused the entire episode’s events and most of the drama of this episode is because she Photoshopped the picture of Lisa in an attempt to prove her point on unrealistic beauty standards, but Butters ends up thinking its real... ''despite having Photoshopped her original picture right in front of him.''

* GoneHorriblyRight: Wendy did end up causing Lisa to gain more confidence in herself. Lisa also ends up becoming an arrogant bitch and for the wrong reasons to boot. [[FromBadToWorse Then the other girls get into it.]]

** Kanye West interrupting Pope Francis’ ‘Person of the Year’ acceptance speech parodies his infamous interruption of TaylorSwift at the 2009 American Music Awards.
