History Recap / SouthParkS7E3ToiletPaper

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: To avoid seeming suspicious, the boys add a pack of chewing gum to their cart full of toilet paper. The cashier narrates the items he's scanning, which is all toilet paper until he comes across the pack of gum.
-->'''Cashier:''' (scanning) H-hey, now you kids be careful with this chewing gum. Don't go sticking it under tables.

** The Josh Meyers subplot is a pastiche of ''Film/SilenceOfTheLambs'' and ''{{Film/Manhunter}}''; the look of Josh's cell block, his blue prison scrubs, and the restraints he's transported in are taken from ''Silence'', but the way he assists Barbrady (complete with receiving the case files through a sliding partition) is much closer to ''Manhunter'', and Josh's slicked jet-black hair and "scary voice" are taken from Brian Cox's Hannibal.

** The Josh Meyers subplot references ''Film/SilenceOfTheLambs''.

* FakeAlibi: Cartman comes with with a ''very'' complicated one for the night of the [=TPing=]. It doesn't work much because Stan and Kyle can't follow it, and Cartman gets tired of running though it. To avoid clogging the page, see it at SeamlessSpontaneousLie_

* PleaBargain: Discussed and PlayedStraight. Before being questioned about the [=TPing=] of their teacher's house, Cartman tells the others Mr. Mackey will be interviewing them separately to see if one of them will be willing to rat on the others in exchange for a less severe punishment (and threatens Kyle to not do so). At the end, when the other three decide to confess to ease their guilt, Cartman, seeing the writing on the wall, confesses to Mackey before they do and only gets a week of detention to the others' two weeks.

The boys cover their art teacher's house in toilet paper after getting detention for molding a penis out of clay, but Kyle starts feeling guilty about it and Officer Barbrady summons help from a Hannibal Lector-esque boy named Josh Meyers ([[SimilarlyNamedWorks not to be confused with Seth Meyers' real-life brother and former cast member of]] ''Series/MadTV1995'' and ''Series/That70sShow'').

** The Josh Meyers plot is one to ''Film/SilenceOfTheLambs''.

* BlatantLies: Josh denying to the Juvenile Hall supervisor that he was doing the 'Silly Voice' for Barbrady.

* FelonyMisdemeanor: [=TPing=] is treated as if it were a horrible crime in story. Josh Meyers is convicted for a TP related crime, sentenced to a special cell like Hannibal Lecter and denied toilet paper even for personal use....for three weeks.

* GroinAttack: Kyle kicks Cartman in the balls for insulting him. Unlike most examples Cartman's response is rather realistic, he grunts in pain and has trouble talking for the rest of the scene.

* CoverupPurchase: Parodied when the boys buy a trolley load of toilet paper ready to teepee their art teacher's house. Kyle is worried this will look suspicious, so Cartman balances it with one stick of gum. The cashier nonchalantly checks through roll after roll of toilet paper not suspecting a thing, ironically only being skeptical of the gum, warning the boys not to stick it under tables.

* MotorMouth: Cartman's SeamlessSpontaneousLie to cover up the incident when the gang is sent to the Principal's office.

* {{Touche}}: When brought to Mr. Mackey's office, the boys decide to let Cartman do all the talking. However, Mr. Mackey invites each of them into his office one at a time rather than all at once, which Cartman immediately realizes is a method to see if their are inconsistencies in there story and if one of them confesses for a better deal.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Josh keeps trying to HannibalLecture Barbrady into revealing deeply personal tidbits about himself. The second time he does this, where Barbrady reveals his dad used to make him dress up like a girl and sit on all his uncles laps unnerves Josh so much he actually drops the Hannibal act for a few seconds.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Cartman gets a migraine trying to understand why Kyle, Stan and Kenny would want to confess to their [=TPing=].

* FelonyMisdemeanor: [=TPing=] is treated as if it were a horrible crime in story.

-->'''Stan: ''(arrives with Kenny as Cartman continues hitting Kyle)'' Cartman, what are you doing?\\

-->'''Cartman:''' ''[after the umpteenth hit]'' Kyle will be dead in a matter of hours.
