History Recap / SouthParkS5E9OsamaBinLadenHasFartyPants

* LamePunReaction: The boys groan at Towelie's "Towelie ban" joke.

* RunningGag: An unintentional one that would continue into later episodes and even real life, as bin Laden just keeps getting unceremoniously shot in the head.

** Cartman refers to Arabs as "Sand People" (''Franchise/StarWars'').

** When Cartman says "What's up, Bin Laden?" he munches on a carrot, in reference to ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunny''. His entire confrontation against Bin Laden is done in the style of the {{war time cartoon}}s ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' used to make during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, complete with similar music, Cartman kissing his opponent à la Bugs Bunny, shouting "whoo hoo" à la WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, dressing up as a woman to seduce Bin Laden and using hammers, sticks of dynamite and [[TalkingWithSigns signs with insulting rebuses]]. The line "Tiny, isn't it?" is similar to the signs with "Silly, isn't it?" that would appear in many Creator/TexAvery cartoons. Osama's final line: "Terrorists are the cwaziest peoples!" is a direct reference to the end of ''WesternAnimation/RussianRhapsody'', in which Hitler says the same thing, only about Nazis.

* TeenyWeenie: When Cartman pulls down Osama's pants he is revealed to have a penis so tiny that you need ''[[UpToEleven several]]'' magnifying glasses to see it. Cartman concludes:

** When they arrive in Afghanistan, Cartman saysm "What a craphole! This is like east Denver!"

Despite getting shot in this episode, Bin Laden would [[NegativeContinuity reappear alive and well in later episodes]] such as "[[Recap/SouthParkS7E2KrazyKripples Krazy Kripples]]", "[[Recap/SouthParkS10E3CartoonWarsPartOne Cartoon]] [[Recap/SouthParkS10E4CartoonWarsPartTwo Wars]]" and "[[Recap/SouthParkS14E9ItsAJerseyThing It's a Jersey Thing]]".

* AffectionateParody: Cartman's confrontation against Osama is a {{Homage}} to WarTimeCartoon short of the 1940s.

** The singing as the boys are taken to Osama is complete gibberish.[[note]]It's best compared to what Trey and Matt would go on do in ''WesternAnimation/TeamAmericaWorldPolice''.[[/note]]
* BestialityIsDepraved: Osama is more interested in the camel Cartman was riding than Cartman in drag.

* BorrowedCatchPhrase: Osama's final line "Terrorists are the cwaziest peoples" is a direct reference to the final scene of ''WesternAnimation/RussianRhapsody'', where a defeated Hitler says: "Nazis are the cwaziest peoples.". This comment in return was a reference to 1940s comedian Lew Lehr's line "Monkeys are the cwaziest peoples".

* ChekhovsGag: The entirety of the Arabic language being "Derka derka, Muhammad jihad" in Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice was started here.
* DisguisedInDrag: Cartman attempts to seduce Osama by disguising himself as a beautiful Afghan woman riding a camel. Osama falls in love with the camel instead.

* EyePop: Done when Osama spots Cartman in drag upon a camel. Turns out his reaction was actually for the camel.
* InsaneTrollLogic: When Stan asks their Afghan counterparts why over a third of the world hates America. The Afghan counterparts simply replies that "Because you don't realize that a third of the world hates you." Kyle even [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] how ridiculous the argument is. Although they could be referring to their belief that Americans are ignorant of the world outside their own borders.

-->'''Kyle''': Do you really think your civilization is better than ours?! You people play games by killing animals and oppress women!\\
'''Boy in Blue Vest[=/=]Afghan Stan''': It's better than a civilization that spends its time watching millionaires walk down the red carpet at the Emmys!\\
'''Stan''': ...He's got us there, dude.

** Cartman refers to Arabs as "Sand People", characters from ''Franchise/StarWars''.

** When Cartman says "What's up, Bin Laden?" he munches on a carrot, in reference to ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunny''. His entire confrontation against Bin Laden is done in the style of the {{war time cartoon}}s ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' used to make during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, complete with similar music, Cartman kissing his opponent à la Bugs Bunny, shouting "whoo hoo" à la WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, dressing up as a woman to seduce Bin Laden and using hammers, sticks of dynamite and [[TalkingWithSigns signs with insulting rebuses]].

Osama's final line: "Terrorists are the cwaziest peoples!" is a direct reference to the end of ''WesternAnimation/RussianRhapsody'', in which UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler says the same thing, only about Nazis.
** The final insult read on Cartman's sign is simply a picture of Creator/BarbraStreisand.

* StuffBlowingUp: Osama's microphone is actually a stick of dynamite, which causes him to explode.
* TakeThat: Bin Laden is the ButtMonkey of this episode.
** As stated in ShoutOut, the final insult read on Cartman's sign is just a picture of Creator/BarbraStreisand.

* WarTimeCartoon: Cartman's battle against Osama Bin Laden is done in the style of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII propaganda cartoons, most notably those of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', where Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck would combat UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler.

--> '''Kyle:''' Remember when life used to be simple and cool?\\

* BestialityIsDepraved: Osama is more interested in the dromedary Cartman was riding than Cartman in drag.

* ExposedToTheElements: The boys are in winter gear but no one is complaining about the heat.
* EyePop: Done when Osama spots Cartman in drag upon a dromedary. Turns out it was for the dromedary.

* MyCountryTisOfTheeThatISting: Even though Bin Laden is ridiculed mercilessly the episode also points out that the Afghan children hate the US because the American army bombs their country flat and built their military bases on Muslim holy ground, going as far as to call America an "evil empire" who wants to TakeOverTheWorld. This leads to an argument between them:

* OverlyLongTongue: Osama rolls up his tongue after seeing Cartman in drag seated upon a dromedary.

** When Cartman notices the poor appliances used by the Afghans in their war-struck country, espcially the dromedary-drawn taxis, he says: Dude, what is this? The friggin' [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Flintstones?]]

* WolfWhistle: An appreciative two-note whistle is let out when Osama spots Cartman in drag on a dromedary. Turns out it was for the dromedary.

* InsaneTrollLogic: When Stan asks their Afghan counterparts why over a third of the world hates America. The Afghan counterparts simply replies that "Because you don't realize that a third of the world hates you." Kyle even [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] how ridiculous the argument is.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The episode pokes fun at America post 9/11, including the US-Afghan war. Sharon hasn't stopped watching CNN for two months. The children are being forced to wear gas masks and Officer Barbrady takes extreme safety precautions.
* RecognitionFailure: The Afghan goat is mistaken by everybody to be Stevie Nicks, lead singer of Music/FleetwoodMac.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Osama speaks complete gibberish with a few random Arabic words.

* MyCountryTisOfTheeThatISting: Even though UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden is ridiculed mercilessly the episode also points out that the Afghan children hate the US because the American army bombs their country flat and built their military bases on Muslim holy ground, going as far as to call America an "evil empire" who wants to TakeOverTheWorld. This leads to an argument between them:

'''Boy in Blue Vest''': It's better than a civilization that spends its time watching millionaires walk down the red carpet at the Emmys!\\

** It's parodied at the same time when the boys' Afghan counterparts state that "Over a third of the world hates America." When Stan asks why, they just say "Because you don't realize that a third of the world hates you." Kyle points out the ridiculousness of the argument, which descends to both groups of boys calling each other buttholes.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The episode pokes fun at America post 9/11, including the US-Afghan war. Sharon hasn't stopped watching CNN for months. The children are being forced to wear gas masks and Officer Barbrady takes extreme safety precautions.

** The final insult read on Cartman's sign is just a picture of Creator/BarbraStreisand.
** Stan putting his jacket around the base of the American flag is similar to Linus putting his blanket around the bottom of the Christmas tree in the Franchise/{{Peanuts}} ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas''.

* TakeThat: UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden is the ButtMonkey of this episode.

"Not really."
