* BaitAndSwitch: Cartman notes the error in Polly Prissypants' plan. That if he must get rid of ''all'' of his dolls then her plan won't work... because it's impossible to frame Tolkien because a black person can't be accused of anything in this day and age.

Added DiffLines:

* DramaticIrony: Kyle, Stan and Kenny ask a group of the fifth graders if they burnt Cartman's house down, which they refuse to either confirm or deny. Of course, it's made obvious to the viewer by this point that Cartman himself did it.


Added DiffLines:

* RiddleForTheAges: Exactly ''how'' Cartman managed to burn his house down isn't shown on-screen.


Added DiffLines:

* SympathyForTheDevil: Kyle and Stan feel somewhat bad for Cartman after his punishments start getting disproportionate, even though he (unsuccessfully) tried to start a smear campaign against the former.

This is more along the lines of No Sympathy.


* JerkassBall:
** Stan is uncharacteristically mean to Cartman as it was his fault that they'd lost their recess for four weeks and they have to do extra P.E. classes, and even pointing out that Cartman is unhealthy and calling him a '''baby''' when he's just 10 years old.
** Craig was ''no'' better whatsoever, at first, he was just a DeadpanSnarker who usually does nothing but keep quiet, but here, he takes Kyle's spot and joins Stan for the rebuking of Cartman, and infamously telling him that he should go home and just "'''cry to his stuffed animals again'''".



* LaserGuidedKarma: More and more fifth graders begin to join Butters and Jimmy's 99% rally in front of the Colorado Regional Office where the SmugSnake test advisor works, meaning he can't even leave the building without them chasing him down.



* NeverMyFault: All the kids in school are understandably pissed off at Cartman because his poor health brought the entire school average down so they have to take extra P.E. classes, but he thinks they're just mad at him because they don't want to be mad at President Obama.

** When Butters and Jimmy mention to the advisor that the kids are getting closer and closer to rioting due to how transparently flawed his scoring system is, he asks them what they expect ''him'' to do.


Added DiffLines:

* ReactionShot: Kyle and Stan exchange glances when the advisor tells the school they scored the lowest fitness results in the country, both ''immediately'' knowing that Cartman is to blame.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainyFreeVillain: While the Presidential Fitness advisor is a considerably ''very'' light antagonist by ''South Park'' standards, it's clear that we're meant to not like him. He makes the entire school alternate recesses over one kid with an abysmal fitness score [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem just cause]], and condescendingly mocks them to their faces. We do get [[TheComicallySerious the occasional funny moment from him]] when he calls the fourth grade the "Fatty Boombalatty" and "Boom Boom Chubby Choom Choom" class behind their back, though.

* CuteAndPsycho: Apparently, Polly Prissypants. Cartman envisions her as being defensive enough of Cartman's image that she kills the other toys for holding him back (torturously and elaborately at that) and then intends to run away with him and frame Token for all the murders. When Cartman points out the (non-sensical) fatal error in her logic, she chooses suicide.

* DownerEnding: Cartman ends up killing Polly Prissypants after it turns out he killed his dolls through her while Stan, Kyle, Token and Kenny look on, dumbfounded, and the 99% rally fails to achieve anything beyond devolving into class warfare.

* {{Understatement}}: Liane Cartman tells Token's parents, after they watch Cartman argue with and then shoot his Polly Prissypants doll, that he tends to be "A little dramatic." Not even she believes what she just said.

* MourningAnObject: After Clyde Frog was killed, Cartman puts out an entire funeral for him in his backyard. The students who are invited, however, show no sympathy whatsoever and only came for the $5, in which Cartman replies they've been donated to the Clyde Frog foundation. This causes them to leave in anger having wasted their time.
-->'''Kyle''': Shut the hell up, Cartman!
-->'''Cartman''': Got something to say, Kyle?!
-->'''Kyle''': How do you murder a stuffed animal?
-->'''Cartman''': How do you murder a stuffed animal? ''You tell us, Kyle!''

The "true" implies that Cartman's racist claim holds truth in reality.

Added DiffLines:

* RedHerring: The Fifth Graders. They make it very clear that they want Cartman punished for bringing down the fitness average and forcing the rest of the school to take extra P.E. classes, and when the other boys question their involvement in the murder of Cartman's toys, they don't deny it and say they're planning "something big". Turns out, not only did they not destroy the toys, but their big plan had ''nothing'' to do with Cartman.

* EpicFail: Cartman did so poorly on the fitness test that he single-handedly cost the ''entire school'' a passing grade.



** For some reason, the Presidential Fitness Test advisor claims the South Park children are ALL a bunch of fat fucking pigs even after acknowledging that it was only one student (guess who?) that brought down their health score average.

** Stan isn't going to get off the hook on this trope ''completely'', he was being very nasty to Cartman as It was his fault that they'd lost their recess for four weeks and they have to do extra P.E. classes, and even pointing out that Cartman is unhealthy and calling him a '''baby''' when he's just 10 years old.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Stan and Kyle confront the Fifth Graders about what's been happening to Cartman because they think they're the ones who are messing with his stuff. Stan understands that they're pissed at Cartman, but felt that the fire in his bedroom was taking it too far because Cartman might have actually died. Of course it turns out it wasn't them but Cartman himself who was destroying his toys.
