Line #9 Recap/SouthParkS14E5TwoHundred


1	'''Original air date:''' 4/14/2010
2
3	In the 200th episode, Tom Cruise and 199 other celebrities file a class action lawsuit on the town for ridiculing them over the years.
4	----
5	!!"200" contains examples of:
6	* BatmanGambit: It's strongly implied that Tom intentionally started working at the factory packing fudge so that he would eventually be called a "fudgepacker" by someone from South Park as an excuse to sue them.
7	* BigBadDuumvirate: The celebrities and the revived Ginger Separatist Movement.
8	* BigLabyrinthineBuilding: Tom Cruise's mansion seems to be composed almost entirely of [[StealthPun closets]].
9	* CassandraTruth: Once Randy goes to visit Tom Cruise at the candy factory and sees him working, he's forced to concede that Stan technically wasn't wrong when he called Cruise a "fudgepacker".
10	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When the police officer complains to Randy about Stan:
11	-->'''Officer''': Dammit Marsh, why couldn't you have just kept your stupid ugly kid in line?
12	-->'''Randy''': Hey, don't start blaming me for his looks.
13	* ConsultingMisterPuppet: Cartman having conversations with his puppet hand.
14	* ContinuityCavalcade: Pretty much every single celebrity the show had lampooned to date at the time appears, even some who had died in RealLife such as Music/MichaelJackson. Creator/TimBurton makes a brief appearance as well, despite having never been parodied in the series proper.
15	* DoubleStandard: Starts the ongoing theme of which religious figures are and aren't okay to parody, which carries over into the next episode.
16	-->'''Joseph Smith:''' Boys, you need to understand that people get very offended when Muhammad is mocked, because he is a religious figure.\
17	''(Loud snorting noise, cut to Buddha snorting lines of cocaine)''\
18	'''Jesus:''' Buddha, don't do coke in front of kids!
19	* DisproportionateRetribution: Tom Cruise sues South Park alongside other celebrities because the kids, mainly Stan, called him a "fudgepacker"... even though they were pointing out that he was literally packing fudge into a box. Then again, Cruise may still hold a grudge against Stan for what happened in "Trapped in the Closet".
20	* GayEuphemism: Continuing from season 9's "Trapped in the Closet," the boys fight with Cruise over whether he's a "fudgepacker", because he's literally working at a candy factory packing fudge into a box.
21	* HumblePie: Randy is forced to eat some after reaming his son for calling Tom Cruise a "fudgepacker", only to go talk with him at the candy factory and find out Stan wasn't using a metaphor.
22	* ImplausibleDeniability: Tom Cruise states clearly that he's ''not'' a fudgepacker. He says this when he's seen working in a candy factory, wearing a uniform that says "Frederick's Fudge and Candies" and is in the middle of taking fudge from an assembly line and packing it into a box.
23	* TheScapegoat: Stan gets all the blame for calling Tom Cruise a "fudgepacker" by the town even though other kids and even Mr. Garrison called him one.
24	* StealthPun: Most of the rooms in Tom Cruise's mansion are [[TransparentCloset closets]].
25	* TakeThat:
26	** Music/BarbraStreisand, who Parker and Stone genuinely despise, is back in this episode.
27	** Creator/TimBurton, despite never appearing on the show prior to this, is shown being pleased with the idea of not being able to be made fun of for rehashing old plots, constantly casting Creator/JohnnyDepp in his movies, and using Music/DannyElfman for his scores, which is considered “crappy music”.
28	** The episode starts the ongoing potshot at the aforementioned DoubleStandard of an inoffensive depiction of Muhammad being off-limits, while other religious figures are a-okay to portray in a sacrilegious fashion.
29	* TheUnreveal: When Muhammad is brought out, he's in a bear costume. He starts to remove his mask...only for [[Recap/SouthParkS14E6TwoHundredOne the next episode]] to reveal that he's actually SantaClaus in disguise.
30	* WhamLine: "Then maybe I won't tell you about your father."
31	* YouAreFat: Kyle calls Cartman a fatass which the latter doesn't take too kindly.
