History Recap / SouthParkS18E1GoFundYourself

* NamesTheSame: In-universe. There's the fact that there are two organizations called the Washington Redskins -- the NFL football team, and a startup (later, crowd-funding) company run by children who don't want to do anything.

* UnderminedByReality: Discussed in-universe, and serves as the reason Cartman doesn't want to take a stand on any issues. If the group takes a side on some issue or pretends to care about more than money, then all it takes is one of them doing something awful to ruin the whole group's reputation. By not caring about these things, Cartman believes the group can avoid the backlash, though the end of the episode proves them wrong.

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: In fact, doing nothing is the entire mission statement behind the boys' startup company.

* BrokenPedestal: While Kyle wants the boy's company to denounce ISIS after the terrorist group supports them, Cartman is against the idea saying that it would lead their company becoming this trope using [[TakeThat the NFL and the Catholic Church]] as examples.

* {{Determinator}}: During a game against the Dallas Cowboys, all of the members of the Washington Redskins football team leave due to their reputation being reduced to a target of mockery. Dan Snyder attempts take on the Cowboys by himself, only to be tackled by the opposing team. He persists with the game, despite the continued tackling.

** The boys' startup company which only exists so the boys don't have to do any work ever again mocks those who use crowdfunding as a source of easy money rather than to fund legitimate projects.

** Cartman mixes the NFL with the Catholic Church due to the scandals that their players were involved in around the time the episode aired.

-->'''Cartman:''' Once you take a stand on something, you're pretending like your company is about more than money. Then all of a sudden you're the NFL and and your players get caught molesting little boys!\\

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The ending.

* TakeThat: Cartman mixes the NFL with the Catholic Church due to the scandals that their players were involved in around the time the episode aired.

* StepThreeProfit: A more developped one:
1. Start up
2. Cash in
3. Sell Out
4. Bro down

* {{Determinator}}: During a game against the Dallas Cowboys, all of the members of the Washington Redskins football team leave due to their reputation being reduced to a target of mockery. Dan Snyder attempts take on the Cowboys by himself, only to be tackled by the opposing team. He persits with the game, despite the continued tackling.
* DownerEnding: Due to the success of the Washington Redskins crowd-funding company, many athletes left the Washington Redskins football team out of humiluation, leaving Dan Snyder alone against the Dallas Cowboys. The pathetic result of the game led to a boycot against the Washington Redskins crowd-funding company, and the boys decided to go back to school rather than deal with renaming the company.

* MeaningfulEcho: When the boys discover that their Washington Redskins company is starting to get backers, Cartman declares, "Sitting on our asses, here we come!" Later on, when the Kickstarter staff comment on the success of their website, and that they get to do nothing and recieve %5 for every project funded, one of them declares, "Sitting on our asses, here we come!"
