History Recap / SouthParkTheCoonAndFriendsTrilogy

** Cartman spends the Events of "Mysterion Rises" and "Coon Vs Coon And Friends" telling everyone that he is working with Cthulhu in an EnemyMine that will make the world a better place, absolutely no-one is convinced.

** When DP starts drilling on the moon, the killer whale from 'Free Willzyx' and Tom Cruise from '201' are still lying there motionless.

* ContinuitySnarl: The explanation of Kenny's immortality creates a lot of these, such as him simply phasing back into existence in "[[Recap/SouthParkS2E02CartmansMomIsStillADirtySlut Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut]]", the many episodes where he stays dead for longer than a day (including ''[[WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut Bigger, Longer, & Uncut]]'', where his death is a central plot point), the fact that other characters have occasionally shown awareness of his repeated deaths (most obviously in "[[Recap/SouthParkS5E6Cartmanland Cartmanland]]", where Cartman outright says "He dies all the time!") and, most obviously, the fact that Kenny stayed dead throughout Season 6, which even had a subplot about Cartman getting possessed by him.

* TautologicalTemplar: Cartman hits peak MoralMyopia here. He flat-out calls anyone he doesn't like -- his former friends, Burning Man, Whole Foods and Justin Bieber -- as "evil", [[BelievingTheirOwnLies frames himself as the guy who tried to calmly and compationately reason with them and they as the ill-tempered abusive villains]], claims that him teaming up with an evil god to wreak destruction upon the Earth is somehow a heroic thing to do and it just escalates from there. No matter how hard the others spell it out for him, he simply refuses to see that he's the BigBad of this scenario.

** Cartman convinces Cthulhu to kill Justin Bieber.

** Cartman spends the last two parts telling anyone who listened that he is working with Cthulhu is and EnemyMine that will make the world a better place, absolutely no-one is convinced.

Coon Vs Coon And Friends: First aired November 10 2010

These three episodes make up "The Coon And Friends Trilogy." The episodes focus on Cartman and his friends dressing up as superheroes and trying to stop catastrophes, but they're upstaged by a superhero named "Captain Hindsight." Cartman tries to blackmail him to get him on their side. Meanwhile, many oil spills in the gulf occurred as they accidentally [[ItMakesSenseInContext rip a hole into another dimension and creatures start attacking people. The oil company drills a hole in the moon and causes Cthulhu to come out.]] And Cartman teams up with Cthulhu to get revenge on his friends who kicked him out of "Coon And Friends", while we learn about why Kenny can never die.

!!Tropes:

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Bradley to Henrietta.
* ArtifactTitle: After the Coon gets kicked out, the group doesn't change its name. This is lampshaded in the scene where the young heroes are raising money selling lemon bars.
-->'''Toolshed:''' Mysterion, if Cartman's gone, why are we still calling ourselves Coon and Friends?\\
'''Mysterion:''' Because it pisses Cartman off beyond belief, and I find that extremely funny.
* BaitAndSwitch:
** A man appears in a glowing hologram and seemingly informs Kenny that he was sent from another planet and has powers. Then he names Mint Berry Crunch and continues the conversation from there.
** Mosquito is implied to be Kyle and Human Kite to be Clyde. Note how Mosquito argues with Cartman in the same vein as Kyle. Both heroes disguise their voices when in character, but the truth is revealed when Human Kite drops his hero voice to tell Mysterion (Kenny) to take it easy.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Cartman and Cthulhu.
* BlatantLies:
** Cartman spends the last two parts telling anyone who listened that he is working with Cthulhu is and EnemyMine that will make the world a better place, absolutely no-one is convinced.
** Mint Berry Crunch's narration isn't any better.
* BlessedWithSuck: Hindsight sees his powers as a curse. Since having superhuman Hindsight means the moment something bad happens he knows exactly how it could have been avoided.
* ButtMonkey: Butters, in his guise as Professor Chaos, is locked in a cage in Cartman's basement. He's apparently been caged there for four days, and when he complains that his poop bucket is full and he has no food, Cartman apathetically replies "You got poop, don't you?". They also force him to dress as Music/CourtneyLove and pretend to have sex with a homeless man so they can blackmail Captain Hindsight.
* CallBack: When DP starts drilling on the moon, the killer whale from 'Free Willzyx' and Tom Cruise from '201' are still lying there motionless.
* CassandraTruth: Kenny repeatedly tries to explain to Stan and Kyle the nature of his powers, even shooting himself in the head and performing HeroicSacrifices. A frustrated Kenny laments to Captain Hindsight that they don't even remember him dying or the many sacrifices he's made.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Kenny flat out calls Cthulhu a pussy and a wuss. Provides the page quote.
* EpicFail: BP causing an oil spill by incompetently drilling too deep in the wrong place is one thing. The fact that they screwed up so badly they ''released Cthulhu'' is another level of pure failure on their part.
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Mysterion heavily implies his secret identity by stating that he dies over and over again, quoting Stan and Kyle's catchphrases on each occurrence just before it's revealed, the former casually addressing him as Kenny.
* HijackingCthulhu: The page image. Cartman befriends Cthulhu and basically takes control of him, telling him to destroy Burning Man, Whole Foods, synagogues, hippies, San Francisco, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Justin]] [[TakeThat Bieber.]]
* ImmortalityHurts: Because of the many violent and painful experiences along the way. Not to mention how none of his friends remember his deaths and act like nothing happened, which adds to the mental stress this all causes. As Kenny says, "It's not 'pretty cool,' Kyle; IT FUCKING HURTS!"
* LaserGuidedKarma: At the end of the trilogy, Cartman gets locked in the same cell as Butters. When he angrily complains about the smell from Butters' poop bucket and nothing to eat, Stan [[IronicEcho quotes his own words back at him]], "You got poop, don't you?"
* MundaneUtility: In the end Kenny decides to [[SuicideAsComedy shoot himself in the head]] to save time on having to go home and go to bed (and possibly punish his friends for not remembering).
* OriginsEpisode: The origins of Kenny's ResurrectiveImmortality are explained, kind of...
* PublicRelationsAd: [[ParodyCommercial Parodied]] in a commercial where Tony Hayward, the President CEO of BP, wants everyone affected by the oil spill to know that they're deeply sorry, especially since he says it repeatedly across different scenic backgrounds.
* ResurrectionTeleportation: Since Kenny always winds up back in his bed after he dies, he deliberately kills himself to teleport himself out of the dark dimension and find a way to free the others.
* ScareEmStraight: It's demonstrated that Kenny has previously used his heroic alter-ego to scare his parents into treating his siblings better.
* TakeThat:
** Cartman convinces Cthulhu to kill Justin Bieber.
** BP are treated as LethallyStupid, knowingly drilling into portals to {{Eldritch Location}}s, being incapable of coming up with ideas that don't involve drilling, and only being able to send out lame apology videos instead of doing anything to help the crisis they cause.
** The "What should I do?" bit is a spoof of UsefulNotes/LebronJames' infamous commercial dealing with the fallout of his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and join the Miami Heat. It's even called the Lebron James technique by Cartman.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: {{Deconstructed}}. Kenny dies by suicide multiple times throughout the trilogy, as we learn that since his parents joined a Cthulhu meeting when his mom was pregnant with him, he's [[CursedWithAwesome cursed]] with a power to never die. This isn't as good as it seems, as it turns out dying over and over again and having to go through pain so many times put a real strain on Kenny's mental health, as he's no longer afraid of anything and is willing to sacrifice himself to Cthulhu to take his curse away. Further deconstructing this is, when Kenny normally dies, the other kids treat it as a minor event, whereas in this trilogy, blowing his brains out in front of his friends ''horrifies'' them.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: The only thing Captain Hindsight can do is show up at a crisis and tell everyone what they should have done differently. [[ForgotICouldFly (He can also fly, not that it ever occurs to anyone to do anything with it)]]
* YouTuberApologyParody: Tony Hayward apologizes for an oil spill by saying "we're sorry" in different scenic environments.
