* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** The women shoving unwashed turkey basters up their rectums caused an infection to set in, as they're only used once a year during Thanksgiving and are left sitting in drawers afterwards, collecting bacteria all the while.
** After the boys agree to get a sample of [[Creator/TomBrady Tom Brady's]] fecal matter in exchange for each of their own copy of ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder'', Kenny eventually realizes that, due to his family's poverty, he doesn't have a system to play the game on.

* TruthInTelevision: A C-Diff infection is very contagious, very painful, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and very disgusting]]. It won't make you explode out of both ends, but it will give you serious diarrhea that puts you at risk of death from dehydration, especially if you're older and/or have preexisting conditions.
** Almost every part of your body is occupied by millions of microorganisms. Most of them co-exist peacefully, though - at best they're essential for your well-being (''E. coli'', ''L. bulgaricus'') and at worst they kind of just hang around until they become opportunistic infections (''H. pylori'', ''S. aureus'', and of course ''C. difficile'').

'''Kyle''': What is ''my'' problem?! I'm not gonna go steal my mom's shit! \\
'''Stan''': Dude, you realize we won't get that game until Christmas? We could be playing it ''tomorrow''! \\

Added DiffLines:

* RuleOfThree: The first two times someone gets a fecal transplant and gloats about it (Sheila and Harriet in this case), Linda Stotch says "Fuck her, fuck her!" behind their back. By the time [[HypocriticalHumor Harriet calls everyone "backstabbing bitches"]], Linda directly says "Fuck you, Harriet!"

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Yes, fecal transplants are a real medical procedure, though they're not as disgusting as portrayed on the show. They separate the bacteria from the fecal donor and put it in a suppository pill.

Added DiffLines:

* DemonicPossession: Downplayed and Subverted. Kyle believes he's under this for the majority of the episode after being made aware of the concept of microbiomes [[note]] [[WombLevel An ecosystem made of hundreds, if not, thousands of species of microscopic organisms contained within the body of a larger organism]] [[/note]], thinking that it's unnatural. By the end of the episode, not only does he figure out it's not the case, but also comes to terms with it being another factor about what makes him human.

Just adding a trope where it seemed appropriate.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsPetty: Everyone is so obsessed with fecal transplants because they want to cut corners rather than actively take care of their bodies. Tom Brady lampshades this.

* EveryManHasHisPrice: Harriet Biggle, Henrietta and Bradley's mother, asks the boys to get a sample of Sheila's fecal matter for her in exchange for ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder''. The boys immediately take her up on her offer, except for Kyle, who is completely against it, as he is still totally disgusted at the fact that there are microorganisms living in his body. Afterwards, Mr. Mackey asks the three other boys to get a sample of [[Creator/TomBrady Tom Brady's]] fecal matter in exchange for each of their own copy of ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder''.
* GreenEyedMonster: Harriet Biggle, Laura Tucker, and Linda Stotch are all very jealous of Sheila's fecal transplant and how healthy it made her to the point where Harriet resorts to bribing Kyle and his friends into stealing her feces in exchange for ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder'' (though Kyle refuses in digust, with his friends taking Harriet up on her offer instead). Later on, it's revealed that Linda and Laura stole Sheila's leftover feces from Harriet's house sometime after so that they could have fecal transplants as well and have the same health benefits as Sheila and Harriet, as both of them were jealous of ''Harriet's'' fecal transplant.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Gross as it was, Linda Stotch truly deserved to vomit and defecate uncontrollably as punishment for her abuse, mistreatment, and attempted murder of her son Butters.
* LaserGuidedKarma: As stated by KarmaHoudiniWarranty, Linda Stotch got hers for everything she did to Butters, especially when she tried to murder him in [[Recap/SouthParkS5E14ButtersVeryOwnEpisode "Butters' Very Own Episode"]].



* ProductPlacement: The boys agree to get fecal matter from Sheila and later Tom Brady in exchange for copies of ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder''. {{Lampshaded}} by Kenny who says he doesn't have a system to play the game on, and wonders why he agreed to help.
