Go To

Original air date: 11/4/2009

Cartman confronts a group of obnoxious Harley-Davidson motorcyclists who are disrupting everyone in South Park.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Attention Whore: The bikers, even towards each other.
  • Badass Biker: The bikers are trying to be badass but end up annoying everyone due to their extensive noise.
  • The Bus Came Back: Big Gay Al's first appearance since Season 9's Follow That Egg.
  • Comically Missing the Point:
    • The bikers take a very long time to understand why everyone hates them. Their first solution is to make more noise on their bikes, despite being flat-out told by Cartman why they are despised by the entire town.
    • Butters says he wants to be a Harley rider too, albeit for traditional reasons (rebellion, toughness, etc.)
  • Discriminate and Switch: The mayor thinks the boys are homophobic, but really, they want the "fags" (the bikers) out of town.
  • Excrement Statement: As part of the boy's campaign to drive the bikers out of town, Cartman eats a large amount of KFC Famous Bowls so he could defecate on each of their bikes and stick flags in each turd that proclaim that the bikers are fags.
  • They Just Dont Get It: The bikers are genuinely distraught about everyone calling them fags, but they simply don't grasp the fact that their loud motorcycles and obnoxious behavior are the reason. They come to believe no one thinks they're cool is because kids are surrounded by loud things and that their bikes aren't loud enough, which only makes both sides double down. It's taken to the point where they storm the town and corner the boys, thinking that doing so will keep the boys from calling them fags. But when the boys insist that the bikers' behavior and actions are what make them fags, they still can't understand that the boys don't think they're cool.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: The boys are wearing their suits in this episode.

How well does it match the trope?
