History Recap / SouthParkS10E6ManBearPig

* AttentionWhore: Al Gore is this when he made up ManBearPig in order to attract attention by the audience. This causes The Boys to put their loves in danger when he brought them to the Cave of the Winds.

-->'''Stan:''' Just stay away from us, asshole! I was nice to you because I felt sorry for you, because you don't have any friends! But now I see '''why''' you don't have any friends! You just use [=ManBearPig=] as a way to get attention for yourself because you're a '''LOSER'''!

* AluminumChristmasTrees: Cave of the Winds is a real tourist attraction in Colorado.

* DeathByMaterialism: Invoked. As soon as Cartman found the (fake) treasure, all thought of getting out of the cave left his mind. He begins to try to sneak out with as MUCH treasure as he can without the others knowing by swallowing it as much as he can till his whole body is swollen up. He then needs the boys to help him move when things gets worse in the cave... mostly due to the face that any movement (like a fart) would make him lose treasure. Even when it's him and Kyle about to drown due to the flood in the cave, he refuses to even kick his legs to save his own his own life! While the 2 of them did went under the water, they somehow survived.

* WouldHurtAChild: Gore doesn't care if the boys die if it means stopping [=ManBearPig=]

* TakeThat: Towards Gore's obsession with fighting global warming, though it's clearly directed more at Al Gore himself than at the issue he was super cereal about ([[Recap/SouthParkS22E6TimeToGetCereal later]] [[Recap/SouthParkS22E7NobodyGotCereal episodes]], while still making fun of him as person, acknowledge that he was still ''right'' to take it so cereal).[[note]]According to the DVDCommentary, their biggest gripe was with their opinion that ''Film/AnInconvenientTruth'' was not a documentary, but a "[=PowerPoint=] presentation."[[/note]]

* VerbalTic: Gore says "cereal" instead of "serious".
* WouldHurtAChild: Gore doesn't care if the boys die from the lava if it means stopping [=ManBearPig=]

* BalloonBelly: Cartman gets one from eating the fake treasure in the cave before crapping it out.

* VerbalTic: Gore says "cereal" instead of "serious".

* DueToTheDead: A memorial service is held for the boys which Gore uses as an opportunity to claim victory over [=ManBearPig=]. This before they are discovered to have survived the cave-in.

* TakeThat: Towards Gore's obsession with fighting global warming. The creators used [=ManBearPig=] as a euphemism. [[Recap/SouthParkS22E6TimeToGetCereal They later gave him an apology after]] [[Recap/SouthParkS22E7NobodyGotCereal climate change became too big to ignore]].

* LaserGuidedKarma: As stated by HoistByHisOwnPetard above, Cartman's plan to claim the fake treasure for himself by eating it and having the boys carry him to safety ''literally'' backfires on him after the boys are saved when he ends up crapping it out and finds out that the treasure is actually a prop for children to take photos with, the total price only worth about $14. Cartman is clearly writhing in pain all the while, and he's well aware of it, [[LampshadeHanging knowing that he's hurting enough for all the bullshit he pulled in his latest plan.]]

To add insult to injury, a tour guide states that the treasure is actually a prop for children to take photos with, and that the treasure is only worth about $14.
