Line #28 Recap/SouthParkS12E14TheUngroundable


1	'''Original air date:''' 11/19/2008
2
3	A vampire fad is spreading at South Park Elementary. Butters believes that the students actually are vampires and asks to join them, while the Goth Kids do not want to be confused with vampire kids and try to stop the new movement.
4	----
5	!!"The Ungroundable" contains examples of:
6	* AbusiveParents: Stephen Stotch verbally abuses Butters because he put Hamburger Helper in his milk instead of Nestle Quik and blames it on Butters putting them in the wrong spot and threatens to ground him. He fails to ground Butters once Butters has become a Vamp Kid, and at the end of the episode to re-establish his control, he grounds Butters because he has Rice-a-Roni in his coffee.
7	* BrickJoke: The ending scene shows Butters being chewed out by his father because of the Rice-a-Roni in his coffee, mirroring an earlier scene where he's mad because he put Hamburger Helper in his milk instead of Nestle Quik.
8	* DarknessVonGothickName: The Vampire Kids give themselves names like Vampir and Bloodrayne.
9	* ADayInTheLimelight: The episode focuses mainly on Butters and the Goth Kids.
10	* EarWorm: "Burn Down Hot Topic" song.
11	* FailedASpotCheck: Mr. Mackey failed to notice that all of his students are playing ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' instead of doing class work, even as they're bantering about the game.
12	* HissBeforeFleeing: Butters does this once he believes he has become a vampire.
13	* InformedDeformity: Pete of the Goth Kids is referred to as "The kid with pock marks on his face".
14	* KarmaHoudini: Henrietta doesn't get caught stealing her parents' car. The Goth Kids don't get arrested for kidnapping the Vampire Kids' leader and shipping him off to [[PlaceWorseThanDeath Scottsdale, Arizona]] or for burning down the Hot Topic.
15	* KidsDrivingCars: Henrietta borrows her mom's car to kidnap Vampir.
16	* KillItWithFire: The Goth Kids put an end to the fad by burning down Hot Topic.
17	* MistakenForGay: After Butters fails "to feed" on Cartman, Cartman tells his mom that apparently Butters is gay and finds him very attractive.
18	-->'''Liane''': What's going on?\
19	'''Cartman''': Well, Mom, apparently Butters is gay, finds me very attractive, and, confused about his sexual identity, puked up all over my floor.\
20	'''Liane''': Oh, dear.\
21	'''Cartman''': [[FlatYes Yes.]]
22	** It's all stated here with Cartman's earlier outburst at Butters:
23	--->'''Cartman''': Dude, gross! You got spit all over my neck! Mom! Butters just gave me a hickey!
24	* NeverMyFault: Stephen blames Butters for Hamburger Helper being in his milk because the latter didn't organize it correctly, despite the fact that he ''really'' should've just checked before pouring it in.
25	* ObsessivelyOrganized: Stephen Stotch is very anal about keeping the contents of his pantry in alphabetical order.
26	* OhNoNotAgain: A soccer ball is kicked in their direction after the Goth Kids decide to [[SignificantWardrobeShift wear GAP clothes to make them indistinguishable from the other elementary school students, due to their frustration of the Vampire Kids increasing popularity and regular people unable to distinguish them from Vampire Kids]]. As a possible [[CynicismCatalyst nod to why the Goth Kids became the way they are]], they are described by one of the soccer players in the form of a directional cue where the ball is located as, "The fat girl, the big nosed kid, the midget, and the kid with pock marks on his face."
27	-->'''Michael''': So we're back to that, are we.
28	-->'''Firkle''': [[PrecisionFStrike Shit!]]
29	-->'''Pete''': [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Let's get out of these fricken GAP clothes!]]
30	* PerkyGoth: The Vamp Kids are confused for being this by other characters and the Goth Kids are confused for being Vamp Kids much to the latter's annoyance. Pete points out in a speech at the end that [[NoTrueScotsman real goths]] "hate life, truly hate the sun, and need to smoke and drink coffee" where as Vamps are the ones who "like dressing in black because it's 'fun', enjoy putting sparkles on [their] cheeks and following the occult while avoiding things that are bad for [their] health".
31	* PetTheDog: Pete warns the cashier at Hot Topic to get out of the shop while he's setting the place on fire.
32	* PlaceWorseThanDeath: The Goth Kids all agree on the most horrible, miserable place to send Vampir: Scottsdale.
33	* TakeThat:
34	** The Vamp Kids are one to ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]''.
35	** The Goth Kids attempt to nip the vampire problem by sending the vampire leader to the worst place on Earth: Scottsdale.
36	* VampireVannabe: The Vampire Kids pretend to be vampires because it is the "in thing". Butters thinks they're really vampires and doesn't realize they're just pretending and when he becomes a Vamp Kid, he doesn't bother with sustaining himself outside of one failed attempt to feed on Cartman.
37	* VerbalTic: Vampir (AKA Mike Makowski), head of the Vampire Kids, per se, tends to end his sentences with that phrase, per se.
38	* VillainProtagonist: The Goth Kids find the Vampire Kids annoying, think they're stealing their look and get mistaken for Vamp Kids themselves, so they go to extreme lengths to put an end to the Vamp Kids by kidnapping their leader and then burning down Hot Topic.
