In this parody of 300, Mrs. Garrison falls for a woman at a lesbian bar and fights Persians to keep the bar from being renovated.


Tropes:

  • Butch Lesbian: Multiple of them can be seen at the Les-Bos bar but not all of them qualify.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Butters makes a random comment about his penis, missing the point of Mrs. Garrison's rant.
  • Disguised in Drag: Xerxes is a Butch Lesbian who, due to her masculine build and traditional Persian dynamics, pretended to be a man.
  • Groin Attack: Mrs. Garrison fends off the Persian messengers at the lesbian bar by kicking their leader in the balls.
  • Literal-Minded: Cartman tells the Mexican to writes their essays; the Mexicans think their 'eses'.
  • Misplaced Retribution: The episode starts with Mrs. Garrison shouting misandrist remarks at her students and making them read an entire book and write an essay about it over the weekend because she had a bad date.
  • Ramping: Used frequently as part of it's satire of 300's over-reliance on the technique, and only used for banal things like making coffee or eating potato chips.
  • Running Gag: The various people of South Park saying they have a problem, followed by someone saying "Don't worry, there's people you can hire for this kind of problem." Jump cut to the migrant laborers standing in front of the U-Haul dealership.
    • In the beginning of the episode when Cartman hires them to do his and the boys' homework for them.
    • Midway through when Mrs. Garrison hires them as spies to infiltrate the Persian club.
    • At the very end, some of the regulars are asking Mrs. Garrison who's teaching her class. Cut to the laborers explaining fractions to the students who lampshade that this is the first time they have ever had competent teachers.
  • This! Is! SPARTA!: In this case: "This! Is! LESBOS!" (shouted by Garrison while kicking a Persian messanger's genitals)
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Pip, who had already been Living Prop for the past several seasons, disappears from the classroom midway through the episode. He would not be seen in show again, until three seasons later in "201," where he is killed off.
